Chapter 796: Vicious Woman!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ruby held her wine glass and walked toward Connor.
She blinked her foxlike eyes, and the expression on her face was exceptionally seductive.
Ruby was wearing a white dress today, which was tightly wrapped around her chest, outlining her alluring curves.
From the start of the banquet until now, Ruby had never picked up her wine glass, nor had she taken a sip.
But at this moment, Ruby actually took the initiative to lift up her wine glass and stood up from her seat. This meant that Ruby was going to toast someone else.
When Westley saw this scene, a strange look flashed across his eyes.
He knew that since Ruby had taken the initiative to propose a toast, it meant that the person must have a deep relationship with Ruby.
A moment later, Ruby walked to Connor in her high heels and stopped.
Connor had been eating with his head lowered. He didn’t even notice Ruby walking in front of him, nor did he look up at her.
When Ruby realized that Connor was ignoring her, she was naturally furious.
However, she did not show it. Instead, she smiled at Connor and said, “Mr. McDonald, it is all thanks to you that we’re going to the Precipice Cave this time around. Therefore, this glass of wine is a toast to you…”
When Connor heard Ruby’s words, he was stunned. He then looked up at Ruby with a confused expression.
Connor didn’t know why Ruby was acting differently from how she acted before. At this moment, Ruby seemed to have changed into a different person. Also, Ruby said that it was all thanks to him that they were able to go to the Precipice Cave this time. However, Connor didn’t care whether Ruby could go or not. On the contrary, the two of them had always disliked each other!
Before Connor could react, Ruby had already finished the wine in her glass.
At this moment, the way everyone was looking at Connor had also changed greatly.
Ever since Ruby entered the banquet hall, she had not taken the initiative to drink with anyone.
Even if someone toasted her, Ruby would only take a sip of her drink.
However, Ruby actually took the initiative to toast Connor and even drank all the red wine in her glass. This was enough to prove how important Connor was to her.
At first, when these people saw Connor, they all felt that he was just an ordinary person, so they did not take him seriously.
However, after Ruby had finished drinking, everyone felt that Connor’s background was definitely not simple.
After drinking the wine, Ruby’s eyes flashed with a trace of pride. Then, she walked back to her seat in her high heels and looked at Connor. She knew that the show was about to begin.
At first, Connor didn’t understand what Ruby was trying to do, but when he saw the smug look in her eyes, he instantly understood what was going on.
At this moment, most of these rich guys were Ruby’s suitors. Ruby being all chummy with Connor would definitely cause those suitors to be jealous.
Ruby wanted to make her pursuers jealous of Connor, and then cause a conflict between Connor and these people. Then, she would just wait and watch the show.
‘This woman is really vicious!’
Connor could not help but sigh to himself.
As expected, after Ruby finished her toast.
The others present also gathered in front of Connor and began to take the initiative to toast him.
Ruby looked at Connor with a proud expression.
If Connor drank with these people one glass at a time, he would not be able to drink so much no matter how high his alcohol tolerance was.
However, if Connor didn’t drink it, it would mean that he didn’t give these people face. At that time, these people would definitely use this as a reason to find trouble with Connor.
After seeing the smug look in Ruby’s eyes, Connor’s face was filled with helplessness.
“Mr. McDonald, this glass of wine is my toast to you.”
At this moment, a young man raised the wine glass in his hand and downed the white wine in the glass.
After the young man had finished drinking, he subconsciously glanced at Connor’.
However, Connor did not react at all. He was still sitting quietly in his seat and eating, as if he did not take him seriously at all.
“Mr. McDonald, what do you mean by this?”
The young man frowned and asked Connor with an unhappy expression.
“I don’t know how to drink…”
Connor replied calmly.
Connor had already guessed Ruby’s true purpose, but he couldn’t actually drink with these people.
If Connor really drank with these people, he would have to drink at least two or three bottles of white wine.
Although Connor’s alcohol tolerance was not low, if he really drank two or three bottles of white wine, he would definitely not be able to get up tomorrow.
Tomorrow, they were going to Mount Dragon to look for the Precipice Cave. Connor did not want to delay that because of alcohol.
When everyone heard Connor’s words, they were all stunned, and they were very puzzled.
They did not expect Connor to be so disrespectful. He had already finished his glass of wine, but Connor actually said that he didn’t know how to drink.
If he didn’t know how to drink, why didn’t he just take a sip?
However, Connor’s asnwer indeed made people feel that it was somewhat inappropriate.
As for the young man who toasted Connor earlier, a trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes. He then said in a low voice, “It seems that I’m not worthy of your respect.”
After saying this, the young man returned to his seat.
At this moment, everyone looked at Connor with displeasure.
Ruby became even more smug because this was exactly what she wanted to see.
Westley sat on the spot and hesitated for two seconds. Then, he picked up his wine glass and said to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, let me toast you. You have to give me some face!”
When Westley said this, his face was filled with arrogance, and his tone was very arrogant.
After all, Westley was the son of the deputy mayor, so Westley felt that no matter how bold Connor was, he would definitely not dare to not give him face.
If he offended Westley, would that truly be a wise decision to make?
The others present seemed to think the same. They felt that Connor did not have the guts to reject Westley.
“I already said that I don’t drink. Didn’t you hear me?”
Connor turned and looked at Westley indifferently. His tone was cold as he spoke to Westley.
When everyone heard Connor’s words, they were all dumbfounded. Their mouths were wide open. No one had expected Connor to not even give Westley face.
