Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 278

wrist. “Come at me, then. Are you guys fighting solo, or is everyone going to attack at the same time?”“Hmph! You’ll regret this!”The man spat as he glared viciously at Gilbert. Then, he commanded the people around him in a harsh voice, “Get him! Beat this man to death, or else!”Fearing the consequences, the lackeys rushed forward with their bare hands.In just two seconds, Gilbert broke one of the men’s arms with great ease. When the other two heard the crisp cracking noise, they paused in their tracks.Gilbert pulled out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his hands, then tossed the tissue in disgust onto the man, who now had a dislocated arm.“Is that all?”He was fast!The people around them shared this exact sentiment.They were watching the fight up front, so they could see better. The people behind them couldn’t even catch what was going on and only heard a wail that reached the skies.“Who… Who exactly are you?”The rich man at the front widened his eyes as he staggered backward in fear. Fortunately, the two lackeys behind him reached out and caught him in time.“Who am I? That’s Mr. Payne for you.”Elspeth couldn’t bear it any longer. Gilbert was successfully showing off, but she didn’t want him to keep messing around.As such, she parted the crowd and stood in front of everyone.This was Gilbert’s first time seeing Elspeth after his return. Seeing her exquisite features and collected aura, Gilbert frowned. The white dress was wasted on her.Black dresses suited her better, for she was like Venus shining in the night.Elspeth glanced at the group, then said calmly, “Luna Bar does not welcome troublemakers. Please leave immediately.”The people looked at Gilbert, who was standing nearby in an upright posture. They grinned while saying mockingly, “You’re getting chased out too!”Gilbert was unaffected. Instead, Elspeth glared at the person coldly and said, “He is my customer. You’re no match for him.”To be honest, if Gilbert hadn’t insisted on feigning meekness, she would have exposed Gilbert’s identity right then and there so that everyone would know he was the big bad wolf!But now, she could only maintain appearances for Gilbert.“That’s enough, let’s not stoop to his level.”Gilbert spoke calmly, then turned around and went up the steps to head inside.The man behind them widened his eyes so much that his eyeballs might fall out at any second. What did he mean by that? Who is stooping to whose level now?!The man was pissed, but this was Elspeth’s territory, and he knew how cruel Elspeth could be. He couldn’t do anything but run away with his men.Damn it! I’ll make them pay for this! Elspeth watched him leave, then held in a laugh as she followed Gilbert up the steps.After pushing open the clear glass door, Gilbert was greeted with the brilliant sight of drinks, lights, and riches. Despite that, he frowned.“This is so boring.”“Sir, you have to remember that this is Chars. If you get too wild, you’ll be sent to jail.”Elspeth chuckled, then skillfully ordered his favorite drink, Angel’s Kiss.“I stopped drinking that forever ago. Give me some whiskey.”Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Lame.”The two took their drinks to a VIP seat. They had just taken their seats when Harper came over.“Wow, you rushed here the day after your engagement banquet. Looks like Gilbert is still important to you, eh?”As soon as he said that, Harper instantly realized he had said something wrong. He awkwardly picked up the drink on the table and downed
