Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 424

The edges of Jasper’s mouth curved even higher when he heard that. Then he glanced at his wristwatch again.

Rayna stared straight at Morton with a cold, resolute look. “I didn’t expect a gentleman like you to be interested in forcing women into submission, Mr. Reed.”

However, Morton didn’t back off. “So what? Do you want to drink this whiskey or not, Ms. Garland?”

Upon accepting the wine, she gazed at it with pursed lips. Even though I won’t stay in Norwal City for long, Glory’s branch company is located here and is in Jefferson’s hands. In the future, collaboration with these businessmen is inevitable. If I don’t show him respect today, it’s possible he’ll bear a grudge against me and trouble me in the future.

Thinking that he had intimidated her when he saw her taking the glass, Morton smirked. “It seems like you do know how to respect—”

Rayna cut his sentence short by pouring the drink onto him.

That dumbstruck him.

The other men in the room promptly turned their sights toward the two of them. They didn’t expect her to have the guts to do that.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Reed. My hand slipped.” Calmly, she smiled. “Ops, I even wetted your clothing. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to compensate you for that.”

Enraged, Morton roared, “You b*tch! You’re going to pay for this!”

Rayna brushed the droplets on her sleeve away, ignoring his fury entirely. “You’re amazing and have a vast social network, Mr. Reed. However, no one wins forever. You’re free to disturb me in the future for refusing to accept your drink. However, in the future, you must remember not to ask why someone bullies you when they do.”

“You!” He didn’t expect a woman to dare embarrass him in front of so many big shots in the industry. His face was flushed with anger as he picked up the whiskey bottle on the table and swung it in her direction.

Her pupils constricted when she saw that.
