Chapter 23 Intentional Trouble
By the time I had drunk most of the second bottle, my whole body was trembling.
The intense burning in my throat made it impossible to drink anymore, and my stomach started to ache, causing cold sweat to form on my forehead.
I looked up, speaking weakly, “I really can’t drink anymore. Can I switch to beer instead?”
Reagan, however, was relentless. “We agreed on whiskey, Stephanie. If you don’t finish it, I’ll be upset, and Maverick might not help you.”
She was smiling, but that smile was terrifying.
At that moment, Reagan’s true devilish nature was exposed, and Maverick should have seen it clearly.
Yet, he still chose to ignore it, just like he had ignored my child that night.
The hatred in my heart exploded in that instant. I stared at the two of them, fists clenched tightly.
I really wanted to rush up and punch both of them!
Anyway, I was drunk, so even if I did charge at them, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
Just as I was hesitating, Yrian arrived.
He quickly walked over, saw that I was drunk, and immediately supported me.
“What’s going on? Why did you drink so much? You just had surgery, and your stomach is in bad shape. How could you drink so much?”
Yrian’s body was warm, and I leaned against him, barely steadying myself.
“You’re here?”
I looked at him, the burning sensation in my throat making my voice hoarse.
“Why are you only getting here now?”
I was still half sober, not fully drunk.
I turned my head and buried myself in Yrian’s embrace, wrapping my arms around his strong shoulders, and began to act coquettishly.
“I’ve been waiting for you for so long. What if they make me drink more and I can’t handle it?”
As soon as I hugged Yrian, I could feel his body stiffen.
He didn’t seem to expect me to cling to him, let alone act this
way.
At the same time, I could feel two intense gazes burning into me from behind, their eyes fixed on me.
I whispered in a volume only Yrian and I could hear, “Help me. As long as Reagan thinks we’re a couple, she’ll be happy! If she’s happy, my dad’s company will be saved.”
“Okay.”

Yrian got it right away and hugged me, saying in a doting voice, “Silly girl, didn’t I tell you about my surgery? Isn’t this me coming to get you? Your health is not good, don’t drink so much.”
He then helped me sit down on a nearby sofa. He turned his gaze to the two of them across the room.
“Sorry, my girlfriend isn’t feeling well and can’t drink much. I’ll drink on her behalf.”
After that, he poured a glass of whiskey for himself and downed it in one go.
At that moment, I noticed the expressions on the faces of the two a there was more joy in her expression.
Maverick, on the other hand, looked grim, his face clouded with anger.
from us. Reagan was shocked, but
He clenched the glass in his hand as if he could crush it with just a little more force.
“Are you two together now?”
Reagan asked in disbelief, “When did this happen?”
“Just recently!”
I took the initiative to hook my arm around Yrian’s and smiled at Reagan. “I’ve been through a lot recently, and Yrian’s been by my side the whole time. I think he’s great, so I decided to give it a try.”
“Really?”
Reagan seemed a bit skeptical, especially since I had been with Maverick for so many years. To suddenly jump into another man’s arms right after the divorce was hard for her to believe.
“Yes,
ally. Don’t believe me?”
an eyebrow, and, emboldened by the alcohol, I gathered the courage to plant a kiss on Yrian’s lips.
The kiss stunned everyone pr
