John was willing to wait for Nina.
It didn't matter if she didn't want to drink; he would convince her to do something else.
He was going to wait, but not everyone was as patient as he was. Wilson, who had been trying to get the money, grabbed the whole bottle of red wine in John's hand and opened it.
He was dying to get the three hundred million. He just needed her to drink, then he could surely secure the money. He was so excited, he almost jumped out of his skin.
Adams couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and shouted at Wilson, "Nina doesn't want to drink. Why are you opening the wine?"
"Shut up! Don't you want the three hundred million? Don't you want to start the project again? You know what we have to do."
Wilson came from such a high social class that you would expect him to be a little less crass.
Mr. Zhu, who was watching aside, smiled menacingly. "Yes, you can get three hundred million dollars if you drink the wine. Mr. Shi has shown you nothing but respect."
"Miss Lu, drink it now," Wilson urged, handing Nina the bottle.
This wasn't a request, he was forcing her at this point. He didn't simply pass her the bottle; he lifted the bottle to her mo
w could she not feel miserable?
She was used to drinking small bits of wine. This definitely exceeded her normal limit.
Since she had promised Adams to get three hundred million, she had to keep her word.
John's eyes darkened. It looked like two endless black pits in his head.
He still wanted to punish her, so he let her drink it up.
Soon after drinking the whole bottle of red wine, Nina took a deep breath and smashed the bottle. She stumbled, but no one dared to help her. She leaned on the table behind her to prop herself up.
"Wow..." Nina felt so dizzy. The world was spinning and the shadows cast on the floor distorted her even more.
Just as she was falling to the floor, John quickly rushed to her side and caught her in his arms.
"You really can't hold your liquor!" John said unimpressed.
It sounded like he was scolding her for stealing his wine. He looked down at her so pitifully.
She shook her head trying to regain her senses. Her eyes wandered to the door, but James hadn't arrived yet.
She didn't want to hurt anyone in her drunken state, so she held onto his neck and waist firmly.
"Take me back now. I'm deal with you later!" she threatened.
