Chapter 190
“Conrad, you’re such a bastard! I must have been blind to consider you a friend!“.
Howard broke free from Jetl’s grip, releasing Conrad’s collar. He gave Moira a cold, disdainful look. “You actually married a woman like her?”
The contempt and scorn in his voice were clear
Moira ich uncomfortable and was about to speak, but Conrad spoke first, his voice cold, “Moira is a good woman”
“You think so! Howard sneered in disdain and walked out
When he reached the door, he turned around and said, “From today onwards, we are no longer friends!
With that, he opened the private room’s door and walked out
Jeff called after him twice, but he did not turn back.
In the private room, Jeff glanced between Conrad and Alex, unsure of wharto say.
Alex took the cigarete from his lips, exhaled a smoke ring, and asked nonchalantly, “We’re one short for a game. Are you in?”
Conrad led Moira over and seated her in the chair Howard had just been.
Moira tried to stand up, but Conrad pressed her back down, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Try it.”
Alex raised an eyebrow, glancing at Moira with a playful smirk. Is your wife joining?”
“I don’t know how to play!” Moira was furious. They had agreed to get a divorce, yet he brought her here.
Seeing her
her angry face, Alex flicked his cigarette ash and smiled. “Are you two having a fight?”
Conrad ignored his gloating and sat down beside Moira. Til teach you?
As he at close to her, his warm breath brushed her check. Moira felt uncomfortable and tried to move away, but Conrad wrapped his arm around her waist. “If we win, it’s yours. If we lose, it’s on me, okay?”
His voice had a slight upward lilt, like a hook, and Moira even detected a hint of gentleness in his tone,
Her heartstrings were tugged once again. Looking at his handsome face, she wanted to get angry, but with others in the room, she decided against
“Since Conrad said if you lose, it’s on him, you should just relax and play. Consider it a way to pass the time. If you don’t know how to play, he can teach you.”
“Even kids can play this game. You can, 100,
Alex’s smile was a bit roguish, his gaze lingering meaningfully on Moira’s clearly upset face. His grin widened, “Believe it or not, if you don’t play with us, he’ll probably drag you to bed later, and you’ll have to make up with him.”
Moira’s cheeks flushed, her anger simmering inside, but she remained silent.
“If I were you, I’d make him pay more. He needs to learn that upsetting women has consequences”
Normally, if Alex made such a remark, Conrad would have a sharp retort.
But now, he did not say a word. He sat quietly with his arm around Moira as if he was tacitly agreeing with Alex’s provocation
rs you angry
angry, just
Jeff glanced around at them and nodded in agreement. “That’s right, don’t worry about Conrad’s money. He has plenty. If he makes lour more on purpose. When I win, I’ll give you half”
Moira wondered what kind of people they were.
She looked at Conrad’s two friends, clearly seeing that they didn’t want things to go well for him.
Of course, she didn’t want him to have it easy either.
Thinking about how he had deceived her for so long and still refused to divorce her made her even angrier.
Since he wouldn’t let her go, she might as well lose more to him.
