Furrowing his brows, Dr@per pressed, “What’s your rtionship with him? You both seem quite familiar with each other.


    ”


    Jennifer’s peanut-picking came to a halt.


    Hilliard remained silent, and awaited her response.


    Under the gaze of both men, she retorted coldly, “We’ve only crossed paths a few times.


    I’m hardly acquainted with him.


    ”


    Hilliard’s heart sank, wounded by her words.


    After he heard that, Dr@per’s arrogance resurfaced when he looked at Hilliard.


    “Ah, so you’re attempting to deceive me, is that it? I had considered letting you off for Jennifer’s sake, but now that you’ve repeatedly provoked me, that option seems impossible! Someone like you deserves a few days in jail!”


    Right after he finished talking, the door to the private room swung open.


    The manager came in quickly with four security guards.


    Pointing at Hilliard, Dr@per said, “It’s him.


    He came into the private room univited, broke the wine ss, and tried to make it look like I put something in the wine.


    Call the police now and kick him out!”


    The manager paid him no mind and walked directly to Hilliard.


    He bowed to Hilliard as a sign of respect.


    “Mr.


    Simmons… What’s the matter?”


    “Mr.


    Simmons? Who exactly is this man?” Dr@per’s shoulders dropped.


    “Didn’t you hear clearly? He is from the Simmons family of Stastle.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    ”


    The manager stared at Dr@per and sneered, “His brother is this restaurant’s major shareholder.


    You’re having lunch in the Simmons family’s restaurant.


    And you’re trying to kick out Mr.


    Simmons? How could you be so audacious?”


    Dr@per nced at Hilliard and then at Jennifer.


    He was too shocked to say anything for a while.


    The room suddenly fell into silence for a few seconds.


    Hilliard then said in a deep voice, “Send him out of here.


    He spiked the wine.


    Take him to the police station and report what he just did.


    He’s not wee to dine here anymore.


    ”


    “Understood, Mr.


    Simmons.


    Consider it done!”


    It finally dawned on Dr@per that he had offended someone influential.


    “Mr.


    Simmons, please release me.


    I’m sorry.


    I had no idea who you were! I didn’t tamper with the wine! Please don’t send me to jail!


    Spare my family and mypany, please!”


    He cried and pleaded for mercy, trying to walk towards Hilliard.


    Hilliard’s face twisted in disgust, and he kicked Dr@per aside.


    “Take him away from here!”
