The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 34

Adaline tilted back her head in preparation to drink.

Suddenly, Adrian snatched the glass from her and said, “Don’t drink if you don’t want to. No one here can force you to drink without your consent.”

Adaline was instantly panic–stricken as Adrian poured the contents of the glass onto the floor.

The people at the scene were astounded. They had not expected Adaline’s deadbeat brother to pour away Harry’s drink.

On the other side of the table, Harry was clearly infuriated upon witnessing this scene. He pointed at Adrian and asked Kevan, “Kev, who’s this?”

Kevan scoffed. “He’s Ada’s elder brother and also Samantha Cowell’s husband. He’s the guy who pretended to be a big shot in the city yesterday.”

“Hey, deadbeat. That was really bold of you. How dare you pour away Harry’s drink!”

“F*ck you! Bow down and apologize to Harry right now! Otherwise, you won’t be spared!” Stella knew that Kevan and Harry were good friends so she angrily reprimanded Adrian on behalf of Harry.

Adaline almost burst into tears at the unexpected change of events. She hastily said in an anxious tone after noticing Harry’s fury, “I’m sorry, Harry. My brother is an idiot so please don’t lower yourself to his level. I’ll get him to apologize to you.

“Adrian, apologize to Harry. Now!” Adaline shouted as she looked toward Adrian anxiously. She had no idea why Adrian got the courage to offend Harry.

Adrian would be in deep trouble if Harry were to lose it.

Adrian was her brother so Adaline knew that Rue and Samantha would be saddened to know he got beaten up. She would in turn feel even more upset.

Hence, she roared at Adrian to apologize.

Adaline was almost in tears.

“Why should I? Don’t drink if you can’t drink. No one can force you to drink against your will while I’m here,” said Adrian with a frown.

He had it figured out. Stella, Kevan, and everyone present here today had planned this. They wanted to prank Adaline so they set up this trap. They wanted to send Adaline into Harry’s arms after she got drunk.

Adaline was scared out of her wits and tears started streaming down her face. She continued to roar, What nonsense are you talking about, Adrian?! Do you think that you’re a big shot or something?! Apologize to Harry right now!”

The group silently watched the scene with smiles on their faces. They were waiting for Adrian to make a fool of himself. In their opinion, Adaline’s peasant brother would find himself in deep trouble today.

“Please don’t be angry, Harry. How about I have a few more drinks with you today?” Adaline had no other choice but to offer since Adrian would not apologize, but Adrian had already pissed Harry off.

‘How dare you ruin my affairs when you’re just a lowly peasant?! No woman that I’ve taken an interest in has ever rejected me!‘ Harry thought.

All of a sudden, Harry slammed his glass on the table. Its contents splashed everywhere. He sneered and said, “I’ve been in Southrive’s underworld for a long time but I’ve never encountered such a wildly

“Even if God were here today, I’d punish him, let alone you!”

Harry’s face turned solemn.

Adaline was scared out of her wits and was at a loss for what to do.

Stella,said, “Oh, Ada. Harry isn’t being disrespectful to you, but your deadbeat brother is delirious.”

“This will be good to teach him a lesson.”

“Yes, how dare he offend Harry. How did he get the courage to do so?”

“Ada, your peasant brother is in deep trouble today.”

The group chimed in and jeered in a mocking, taunting manner.

“Lowly peasant, bow down and apologize to Harry this instant!”

Stella called out to Adrian in a ferocious manner as she smashed her glass on the floor. She did this to flatter Harry at the same time.
