Trouble in Paradise



Chapter 0640

The atmosphere at The Secret at night was entirely different from the daytime. The scent of alcohol and perfumes was merely the surface. Men and women were lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce.

But what lay even barer than desire was greed and depravity.

This wasn't an ordinary bar, not just a place for adults to release their emotions. Everyone who came here had an agenda.

Leo was blinded by this decadent world. Truthfully, he was the one unworthy of Yasmine.

The private room on the second floor remained untouched-even the shards of glass at the door were left uncleared.

I saw several bottles of liquor scattered at Lec's feet. He was sprawled on the sofa, and it was unclear whether he was drunk or sober.

However, it seemed that he was still alert. He was already staring at me with open eyes when I approached him.

"You're so annoying! Why are you taking turns to annoy me?"

Irritated, Leo rolled up his shirt sleeves and unbuttoned a few more buttons at his collar. His alluring peach-blossom eyes were slightly hazy from the alcohol, making him look absolutely stunning.

Yasmine once said that her relationship with Leo began with drunken passion. Faced with such a version of him, it wasn't surprising she was drawn in.

I sat across from him, grabbed a bottle from the table, and was about to drink when he anatched it from me. The liquor spilled, splashing onto the floor.

Leo squinted at me. "Get lost. This isn't a place for women like you."

I gestured toward the bottles on the table and gave him an innocent smile. 'I'll leave if you finish all the liquor here."

"Are you kidding me? There are at least thirty bottles. Do you want to poison me with alcohol?" Leo moved to stand, but I grabbed a bottle and threw it at him.

The bottle didn't break, but the base hit him hard in the ribs. It made him instantly doubled over in pain.

"Lady, I've been tolerating you out of respect. But this is my territory, and you're wrecking my place!" he groaned angrily.

"Yeah, I am! What are you gonna do about it?" I grabbed another bottle and smashed it onto the table in front of him. The clash sent liquor and shards flying, ripping his shirt into a mess.

Leo abruptly stood, his expression dark. "You're really doing this, huh?"

I stood with the bottle in hand, staring him down. "You bet I am! Someone was sincere to you, and you treated her like trash!"novelbin

I pressed the bottle against his chest and pushed hard, but I bet he wouldn't feel the pain.

"You didn't find it annoying when you were with her. But now she's not good enough for you? When you claimed to like her, why didn't you think she wasn't worthy then? When you slept with her, did you think she wasn't good enough?"

I marched up to him and yanked at his collar with all my strength. "Leo, we're not done here if you do nothing today!"

He frowned and smirked, leaning close to yank his collar out of my grip. "Oh? Let's see how you plan to make me pay.

"I know your type too well. Left by a man like Nicholas, you ran off after getting pregnant and didn't even dare to confront him. What makes you think you can settle scores with me?

Women like you are just trouble. I broke up with her, okay? Do you understand what that means? From now on, stay out of my sight. I'll refund your membership fee. Don't ever step foot in The Secret again!"

"Are you sure you have broken up? Are you sure none of the women here have been with you? You cheated! Don't tamish the word 'breakup"!"

I gripped the bottle tighter and smiled coldly at him. "Nicholas and I loved each other. But what about you and me? Let me show you just how I'll settle this. As long as I'm here, you won't bully her again!"

In the next instant, I swung my right arm, and the bottle in my hand smashed straight into his head.
