Chapter 50
Hearing this, Hugh secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tone still respectful and humble. “Sorry for the trouble today. I will definitely visit you another day to apologize.”

But before Bradley could speak, Melisa refused first, “Don’t let him come to your house! The couple is terrible. You absolutely should not deal with
them!”
“Mind your own business!” Grabbing Melissa’s arm, Bradley pulled her outside.
Instantly, the private room was deathly silent
A few seconds later, Hannah grabbed a wine glass from the table and smushed it forcefully against the wall, making a considerable crash.
Hugh’s eyes narrowed as he snapped, “Haven’t embarrassed yourself enough yet? You ruined everything today!”
Beside him, Vera attempted to excuse herself, “Mr. Wallaker, if you’ll let me, I’m taking my leave first
Hugh stopped her, asking, “Vera, what’s the relationship between Mr. Moore and Melissa Did they know each other before?”
“Melissa is new here today. How could she possibly know Mr. Moore? Vera replied.
“So Mr. Moore stood up for her… Hugh was puzzled.
“Mr. Moore is a man who distinguishes clearly between right and wrong. He may seem cold on the outside, but he’s very good to those under hin 1 guess he couldn’t stand Melissa being–Vera explained
As it wouldn’t be appropriate to continue further, she stopped where she was, flashing a diplomatic smile. “Mr. Wallaker, Ill excuse myself now.”
Hugh’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed a bit at her words.
“Yeah! How could someone as poor as Melissa possibly know Bradley Moore? he wondered As long as Melissa didn’t have any other relationship with Bradley, his relationship with the Moore family should still have room for negotiation.
Meanwhile, after Melissa was taken out by Bradley, her drowsiness grew more intense. Her body almost leaned half on Bradley’s arm, her footsteps mechanical as ale murmured, “So tired. I want to go home.
With a darkened face, Bradley brought her back to his private room, where Samuel, while flirting with two girls, was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. “Bro, you said you don’t like her! But you’ve been out for so long just to find herl
Hearing him, Melissa opened her eyes weakly and looked at Samuel, struggling to bend down and greet him. “Good evening, sar.“
Samuel waved off the two girls, then looked at Melissa, whose cheeks were flushed with wine, and chuckled, “Hello, angel, have you been getting plied with drinks?”
Melissa gestured with a giggle. “Yep. This big a bottle!”
“Wow, you’re amazing!” Samuel applauded enthusiastically.
Bradley grabbed his suit jacket, put an arm around Melissa to help her out, and scolded, “You’re actually getting cocky now! If I didn’t go for you today, you’d be screwed.”
The alcohol had fully taken effect, leaving Melissa’s body weak. She instinctively hooked her arm around Bradley’s neck, smiling cheekily. “Thank you. May God bless you….
“You’ve known each other all along?” Samuel’s jaw nearly dropped as he saw the two interacting so intimately,
“Milion’s foster mother? Bradley spat out in a fit of anger
“Foster mother? I thought she was forty or fifty year old. Never expected her to be so young and pretty! Then what’s your relationship now!” Samuel asked, all confused
“Get your dirty thoughts out of your head. We are basically strangers!” Bradley snapped, supporting Melissa by the waist to prevent her from slipping.
“Yeah! After all, you are too deeply in love with that woman and won’t easily fall in love with someone else… Samuel said.
Melissa’s consciousness begun to blur. She could only hear people talking but couldn’t make out the specifics. Her body was getting hotter, her hands unconsciously pulling at her collar

The first button was already undone, and if she undid any more, her bra would be exposed.
Bradley furrowed his brow slightly, carrying her in his arms and striding out.
As he walked away, Samuel stared at his back, murmuring to himself, “I was wrong. It seems like… he’s about to fall fo
