190 She is Going to Counterattack
“It doesn’t matter. You won’t be able to see it anyway.”
Doris was stunned suddenly and then turned to glare at her. “Then wait and see!”
“Ladies and gentlemen, now let’s begin the competition on female leading!”
As the host gave the order, the few girls went crazy...
They treated the Depth Bomb Cocktail that made men frightened as a game toy. Someone could only drink one cup and some girls vomited after drinking three cups.
Doris’s drinking capacity was like her father’s. So she was confident to beat these girls although she was also scared with this Depth Bomb Cocktail.
But she was quickly frightened by Isabella.
Isabella was not drinking, but striving for the wine.
She held one cup in each hand and drank them just like drinking water without any hesitation.
.....
Doris thought in her heart, “Damn, I underestimated this damned girl because she usually pretends to be pure and innocent. She isn’t easy to deal with!”
She sped up and people cheered around. However, when she reached the seventh glass, she saw that there were at least 10 empty glasses in front of Isabella. She finally stopped and said angrily, “I don’t want to drink anymore. Are you risking your life, Isabella?”
“Doris Miller gave up the competition! Isabella is the winner tonight with 11 cups of Depth Bomb Cocktail!”
Isabella felt quite dizzy when looking at everything in front of her.
She was not good at drinking.
That was why she would strive for the wine.
Only by scaring the others as fast as she could and drinking enough before she was completely drunk would she have the chance to win this game.
She had to win this battle of wine. She had lost the opportunity to cut the cake with Joseph and provoked him tonight. If she did not fight for the opportunity to dance with him and explain it to him, she would completely fail.
Moreover, there is an even more important reason...
When she saw Joseph cutting the cake with another woman tonight, she suddenly felt very sad. When she saw someone sending him birthday gifts, she felt even more upset. If she saw him dancing with another woman, she would definitely cry out in sadness.
She did not want to always be at the mercy of fate, she wanted to counterattack.
That was why she had risked her life to win the battle.
The people in front of her had been deformed, and she even didn’t know when the host shouted to stop and when he grabbed her hand to announce her victory. She had only one belief – after drinking all the wine, she had to vomit all out, or else she could probably not walk steadily, not to mention dancing.
So she ran to the bathroom next to her and vomited the wine relying on her last consciousness.
The spicy alcohol made her very painful and her entire stomach twitch, but she underestimated the power of the Depth Bomb Cocktail.
She felt extremely headache. She tried her best to wash her face.
But just as she held the wall and walked out of the washroom, she completely lost all her strength and fell to the ground.
She leaned against the corridor and panted heavily. Her chest and head were burning, and her whole body was like to be twisted.
It was so painful...
She had never been so drunk before. She never knew that it was so uncomfortable to be drunk. She wanted to get up and go back to dance with Joseph, but she would fall after standing up every time.
“It’s over, the loss outweighs the gain...”
Looking at the moon outside the window, her eyes gradually lost focus. She seemed to see Joseph’s face in front of her in a blur. She grinned, “Are you here to dance with me?”
And then she finally lost all consciousness...
Her mind was in a mess and she had a splitting headache. But all she could see was the scene of Joseph hugging another woman and dancing. She turned over and felt a stinging pain in her hand.
“Miss Isabella, don’t move. The needle is going to break.”
A nurse stood in front of her. She suddenly realized something and sat up. “What time is it? Is the banquet over?”
The nurse was so frightened that she quickly held her down, “It’s almost 12 and the banquet is over. You’ve drunk too much, please...”
“That’s impossible! I can not drink the wine for nothing!”
Without waiting for the nurse to finish speaking, she yanked off the needle in her hand and got off the bed.
Just her feet touched the ground, her legs went soft, and she and scrambled to the yard regardless of persuasion.
The empty gorgeous stage was filled with petals and ribbons. The wine glasses and cake on the table were in a mess. A few maids placed the gifts on the table into a cart and transported them to the warehouse.
Joseph’s birthday banquet was over.
Isabella looked at everything in a daze and she suddenly wanted to cry.
All the efforts she had made were wasted today. She had not done anything that made people happy apart from the two dishes in the morning...
Moreover, she was drunk in the battle and made a fool of herself in the corridor. Joseph may be angry at her or Charlie would be disappointed.
She turned around and walked back. When he saw the maid pushing a gift cart past her, she suddenly said, “Wait.”
The maid stopped and looked at her in confusion.
She looked at the small gift box in the cart and took it out.
Unlike the other luxurious velvet boxes, her childish and cheap devil box was so conspicuous. And the pink bow on it looked so rustic.
She didn’t understand Joseph and their living standards at all. She was very stupid and ignorant. She wanted to take it back so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself and make others laugh at her.
Then she said softly, “That’s enough. You can leave. You don’t have to tell anyone about this.”
“Okay.”
Isabella raised her head after the maid left.
“Why did you take my birthday present so casually?”
Joseph stood in the dim light with his hands in his pockets. He was handsome in a dark purple suit with meticulous hair and dark eyes.
Isabella did not dare to face him, because she did not know how angry he would be. She just put the little devil gift box behind and said, “I gave it to you. I want to take it back.”
Joseph walked over, “Why do you want to take it back? Let me see.”
“I won’t give it to you!”
Isabella took one step back and said, “This is mine. I don’t want to give it to you anymore. I regret it!”
“Everything on that table is mine. You have already put it on the table. It is mine!”
Joseph leaned over and grabbed Isabella’s shoulder, taking the gift from her in a domineering manner. “You took the gift back in anger because I didn’t dance with you? Why are you so petty?”
“No...”
Isabella felt nervous when she saw that Joseph had already opened the gift. She said, “This is not a good gift for you. I’ll give you another one for compensation.”
Joseph looked at the thing in his hand thoughtfully. “This is... a... filter smoke?”
Isabella was so ashamed that she stuttered, “I didn’t know that you only smoked cigars. I was thinking that it’s good for health.”
