Chapter 1717
But today, Beck felt wronged; he hadn't asked Susie out!
His wife didn't even listen to his explanation. Seeing him lying bare in bed, she called in reinforcements
and beat both of them up again!
Beck had just been beaten, and now he was getting another one!
Across the way, Magdalen stepped out of her door. Hearing the pitiful cries and pleas of aman from the
room across, she almost burst out laughing.
Estelle chuckled, "Stop eavesdropping. Let's go."
Magdalen wrapped an arm around Emily's shoulders as they walked out. "What a satisfying day. I
haven't had this much fun in a while!"
Emily laughed, "I'll treat you guys to dinner. What do you want to eat?"
Magdalen replied with a grin, "I'm in the mood for a barbecue!"
Estelle raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Do you want the chef at 9th Mansion to grill for you?"novelbin
"No need today, any barbecue restaurant will do. Outdoor ones! Those are the best. I'm in such a good
mood.
Anything will taste great!" Magdalen flirtatiously suggested, “Let's just go right from the hotel until we
find a place."
“Sounds good!"
“Let's settle on that then!"
Estelle and Emily agreed enthusiastically.
Half an hour later, the three of them were sitting in a barbecue restaurant, next to a small bridge and
stream, listening to local tunes from J City, and enjoying some good old-fashioned grub!
Magdalen was peeling a lobster and asked Emily, "Won't your boss fire you for crossing Beck? If so,
Ella and I can stand up for you at your company tomorrow."
Emily shook her head. “It’s okay. I was prepared to resign when Ron asked me to accompany Beck."
Magdalen suggested, “How about I fund a studio, and you can be the chief designer? With your talent,
I'm sure the studio will be a success!"
“I'm not ready yet,’ Emily shook her head earnestly, "Working at the firm, I realized I still have a lot to
learn.
Perhaps when I've learned enough, I can join you in running a studio."
"Deal, I'll be waiting for you!" Magdalen lifted her beer mug, "To celebrate the countdown of our studio's
establishment, starting from today, cheers!"
Emily was amused by her long-winded toast, nearly choking on her laughter.
The sound of the three clinking mugs was crisp and clear, as if they were toasting to their future.
At the 9th Mansion, after hanging up with Estelle, Jonathan picked up his suit jacket to leave. Suddenly,
he paused and turned to Charlie, “Estelle and the others are dining out. I'm going to pick her up. Want
to come?"
Charlie smirked, “What would I be doing there, watching you two show off your affection?"
Jonathan replied calmly, “Emily got drunk; thought you could help. Never mind, I'll ask Millard to come
along."
Charlie's smile faltered. Watching Jonathan head out, he sighed and followed suit.
When Jonathan arrived at the barbecue restaurant, only Estelle was still sober among the three, but
her eyes were already red.
Just a few days ago, Jonathan told Estelle not to drink with Magdalen!
Looked like she didn't learn her lesson!
Seeing Jonathan, she tilted her head and gave a pure, childlike smile that left him speechless.
Jonathan held Estelle in his arms and said to the man behind him, "I've asked Millard to take Magdalen
home.
You take Emily."
Estelle tried to stand straight, waving casually at Charlie, "Hey, Charlie!"
"Stop acting tough. Go home with Jonathan. I'll settle the bill? Charlie smiled cordially.
“Thanks, Charlie!" Estelle chuckled, pushing Jonathan away, walking out on her own. Jonathan quickly
followed.
Millard helped Magdalen into the car, leaving Emily still sprawled on the table.
She was resting her head on her arms, her rosy cheeks soft and adorable from the alcohol. From this
angle, she looked a lot like Kya.
