Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Give Up
Adam Howard picked up the beer and drank it, quietly watching Olivia Jenkins and Benjamin Johnson.
A while later, Adam got up and walked over.
Seeing this, Abigail Anderson also went to the bar, sitting down next to Olivia.
“Are you still living in Serene City?”
The icy voice resonated in his ear as Benjamin’s compassionate gaze moved from Olivia and landed on Adam.
Benjamin pursed his lips, tapping his bottle of beer gently against Adam’s beer can before taking a drink himself.
Adam also pursed his lips and remained silent.
Suddenly, Adam raised his head, finished the beer in one gulp, squeezed the beer can flat, and threw it resonantly in front of Benjamin.
Benjamin didn’t change his expression in the least; a quick glimpse given to Adam, then his gaze shifted back to Olivia.
As the bartender was about to offer Olivia a beer, Benjamin intervened, “Just give her a cocktail.”
In an angry tone, Adam yelled at the bartender, “Just give her a glass of water.”
Upset at the whole situation, Olivia frowned, speaking up, “I want beer!”
Even though hostility was in the air, Abigail calmly glanced back and forth between Adam and Benjamin, then slammed on the table and yelled, “Give us beers, I have my own money!”
Adam squinted, persuading softly, “You’ve already started on wine; don’t mix drinks, or else you’ll feel awful tomorrow. If you get drunk, the aftertaste of wine is no worse than that of white liquor.”
“Give each of them a glass of water.”
At this point, both men agreed, and the bartender confidently brought both ladies iced water.
Feeling disappointed, Abigail snorted, giving Adam and Benjamin a scornful look.
Out of nowhere, Olivia took two cans of beer from the bartender, popped them open, and then she and Abigail clinked their cans together and started drinking the beer.
Gazing warmly at Olivia, Benjamin gently warned, “Olivia, stop drinking. I’ll take you home.”
Suddenly, a brute force yanked Benjamin, and then a clenched fist swung towards his face.
Before Benjamin could react, he’d been hit twice. His face hurt a lot!
In an instant, Olivia ran over to stop Daniel. “Enough!”
Daniel, with an intense look, glared at Benjamin, who had stumbled to the side. The intimidating look in his eyes was full of warning.
A few seconds later, Daniel seemed ready to explode with anger, his glare turned to Olivia.
With a whoosh, Daniel seized Olivia and stormed out of the disco.
Adam glanced down at Benjamin from above. “You really shouldn’t have set your eyes on someone else’s wife. It’s no wonder you got punched!”
Benjamin smirked, standing up, and glared coldly at Adam. He retorted sarcastically, “Who do you think you are?! You’re nothing but a henchman for Daniel! Have you ever considered Olivia’s feelings? She’s quite upset. Do you know how much it hurts inside her? She would never have resorted to drinking if that jerk truly loved and cherished her.”
Adam scoffed, “Don’t think you know Olivia too well. The person she needs has never been you. Whatever happened between her and Daniel is their business as a couple, you have no right to interfere.”
Exasperated, Abigail glared at Adam, “Just as I expected, you guys are all scumbags. Birds of a feather flock together! To be honest, I’ve had enough of you guys, well especially Daniel, I despise him!”
With a bewildered look on his face, Adam wondered, “Are you helping him to scold me?”
Abigail helped Benjamin to stand, glaring at Adam, “Yes, I’m scolding you! As for Daniel, do you dare say you don’t know what he’s done? He’s such a jerk, and yet you still stand up for him. You’re as deserving of retribution!”
Adam, still totally confused, questioned, “Can you make it clear? What exactly happened?”
“Go ask Daniel what he did!”
