Robin, finding amusement in the ordeal, swiftly pulled out his phone and started entering a number.


    As he dialed, he taunted, “Do you think Matthew will answer? Will he swoop in to save you?”


    The sight of Robin calling Matthew drained the color from Ste’s face.


    Robin reveled in her difort, continuing to dial numbers with a smirk, pretending toplete the call.


    In a burst of desperation, Ste lunged at him just as he was about to hit the final digit and snatched his phone away.

    “I’ll drink,” she dered defiantly.


    Her eyes locked on the vodka bottle resting on the table.


    She swallowed her fear, her resolve hardening despite her trepidation.


    Ste had never been much of a card yer.


    ying it safe with cards was futile.


    She knew she stood no chance at winning and couldn’t just stand idle while her sales channel was at stake.


    Opting to drink was risky, but she was prepared to face that challenge.


    This was about her business, her struggle against the Wheeler family’s schemes.


    Even if Matthew had retained his memories, she wouldn’t have involved him.


    She twisted open the bottle with a resolute expression.


    The men surrounding her were both shocked and impressed.


    Despite their seasoned bravado, none of them would dare to down an entire bottle of vodka in one go.


    Robin, taken aback by Ste’s bold move, managed to maintain a taunting grin.


    Ste drank the vodka under Robin’s scornful gaze.


    With a sneer, Robinmented, “My sister wouldn’t stoop so low for money.


    ”


    Ignoring him, Ste finished her drink, and battled the fierce burn in her belly.


    She threw the empty bottle to the floor, breaking it.


    Barely holding herself together, she mmed the contract onto the table and demanded, “Sign it!”


    Robin, his smirk unwavering, remarked, “You certainly know how to handle your drink.


    I’m pleased the special bottle I selected for you today wasn’t squandered.


    ”


    Ste paused, momentarily caught off guard by hisment.


    Robin went on, “You know, this bottle was meant for you from the start.


    Even if you hadn’t nned to drink, my crew would have seen to it that you did.


    Bying here, you should’ve realized you were walking into a setup.


    ”


    As he spoke, hisughter became louder and wilder.


    A shiver ran down Ste’s spine as it hit her that the disrupted sales channel was merely a ploy to lure her here.


    She knew she couldn’t stay, especially considering that she was outnumbered.


    She quickly turned to make her escape.


    But just then, several of Robin’s men quickly stepped in to block the door.


    Ste met their gazes firmly and turned back to Robin, unfazed, to ask, “What are you up to, Mr.


    Wheeler?”


    Robin cut to the chase.


    “Let’s keep this simple.


    If you want to get out of here safely, you’ll divorce Matthew and back off.


    ”


    “Back off?” Ste let out a derisiveugh.


    “To make room for your sister?”


    Annoyed, Robin snapped, “You know what I mean!”


    Laughing, Ste replied, “Lindsay has been part of the rk family since she was a kid, knew Matthew even before I did.


    If she was supposed to be Matthew’s wife, how could I have got a chance to marry him? And why would there be a need for me to back off?”


    As the words sank in, Robin’s face turned ghostly pale.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste, losing her patience, demanded icily, “Get your men out of my way.
