Penelope freaked out. “Allison, you’re plastered I’m taking you home now” Without wasting another second, she brushed past Jason, helped Allison up, and headed out.
Everyone else was left staring at each other The Lindbergh family had invited a lot of people over for dinner that night. Many of the guests were young folks from prestigious families, with a fair share of good–for–nothing playboys
A few glances landed on Terry and Dennis. These two were notorious playboys, never seen without female companions.
Dennis shrugged “Oh man, I can’t remember, I’ve been with so many women!” he looked at Allison, Td remember if I’d been with someone as beautiful as her
“Terry, fess up, was it you? Hahaha”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Terry waved it off. “How am I supposed to remember?”
He’d had four girlfriends in the past month alone, he couldn’t even remember what the first one looked like,
Everyone was having a good laugh over the topic, throwing around all sorts of jabs and teases.
Suddenly, a panicked female voice rang out.
“Ah-”
“Lucian, your hand!”
Lucian had suddenly crushed the glass in his hand, with blood and glass shards mixing together.
Blood was gushing from his palm, splattering on the floor.
A girl gasped, “Lucian”
The room, just a moment ago filled with laughter and chatter, fell silent. Nobody dared to upset Lucian.
But what was wrong with Lucian?
Lucian grabbed a bottle of wine and chugged it down. After finishing the whole bottle, he stood up and let out a slow breath, feeling a cold wind sweep through his chest. He closed his eyes, the words still echoing in his mind.
“Lucian, you need to bandage your hand. “A socialite gathered the courage to speak, only to be silenced by Lucian’s chilling glare. She shivered, not daring to say another
word.
Lucian’s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Terry and Dennis. His fists tightened, the pain from his left hand bringing him back to reality.
He stood up and strode away.
Only after Lucian left did everyone else breathe a sigh of relief. His gaze had been terrifying.
“What’s up with Lucian?”
“Who knows? Maybe he’s just drunk.”
“God, his gaze was so scary”
“His hand was still bleeding”
Jason was helping Allison towards the hotel. Since the hotel was on an island, they had to take a boat from the beach, which would take a few minutes. Before they boarded, Penelope said,
*Jason, let me help. After all, Allison is a girl, it might not be appropriate for you to enter her room.”
Jason thought about it and agreed, “Alright, thanks, Ms. Flanagan.
The boatman immediately set off
Penelope looked at Allison and said, “Allison, we agreed to keep this a secret”
Despite the effects of the alcohol, Allison was still lucid. “Oh? A secret? You want to use my painful experience to mock me, to make yourself look more gentle and virtuous?”
“My first time, my child Penelope, you know better than anyone who the man is. I can tolerate it once or twice, but I can’t keep putting up with this.
She was human too, she knew what pain felt like.
No matter how many times she had to endure it, no matter how numb she became, the pain was still there.
