Chapter 12 It's a Small World
- Before Sean, who was secretly listening, could react, Isaac opened the door. At that moment, Sean stiffened and was met with Isaac and Sandra's gaze.
- "Ahem, I-I was just walking by. By the way, I told you that Sandra is pretty, didn't I, Isaac? Let me tell you, there are so many wealthy men in Dunrey who admire her that they can even form a support group! Moreover, she is also a Dunrey Business School lecturer and Griffinaid Group's chairman. Most ordinary men can only look up to her!" Sean said excitedly.
- Then, he looked at Sandra and said, "Isaac is a good person too, right, Sandra? It's rare nowadays to find such a good man like him. I remember that he even knocked out those two Kusweinians at the train station. It's a pity that you missed out!"
- After hearing his words, Isaac patted Sean's shoulder and said nothing. Then, he walked out and entered his room.
- When Sandra saw her goofy brother, she didn't even bother patting his shoulder. She just stood up, walked out of the door, and entered her room.
- At that moment, Sean's whole body stiffened again. Why are they ignoring me? What happened in the study room? he thought. After all, he didn't hear much because the soundproofing at home was superb.
- Curiosity grew inside Sean, and he scratched his head, wanting to know what exactly happened. Then, he turned his gaze and went toward Isaac's room. He didn't even bother knocking and just went inside. "Don't you think it's too early to sleep at a time like this, Isaac? Why don't we go out for a drink? I'll treat you like I promised at the train station."
- When Isaac heard his words, he stopped tidying his stuff. Being fired by the troop had scarred him. Ever since he retired, he had been bothered by this matter. Naturally, he would surely need a place to vent his emotions. Now that Sean was inviting him for a drink, he didn't refuse and said, "Okay."
- An hour later, they arrived at Queens Bar, which was located at Lynflos in Dunrey. Inside the bar, the music was blaring. Several women danced and shook their hips to the rhythm of the music, while some drank alone.
- As for the men, many were looking for a target to sleep with tonight. At the corner in the dark, unholy things were happening in secret. Under the influence of alcohol, those desires and emotions would be let out.
- On the other hand, Isaac and Sean found two empty spots. When they sat down, they ordered some alcohol. However, before they started drinking, Sean suddenly stared at a booth diagonally opposite him. As the music was booming and the air reeked of alcohol, his eyes flashed across a mixture of anger and hatred!
- When Isaac opened a bottle of beer and was about to pour a glass for Sean, he raised his head and noticed Sean's gaze. With that, Isaac followed his gaze.
- Isn't that Tom? Isaac was startled as he looked at the familiar figure. He could tell that this was the owner of the sportscar whom he had collided with when he was going home in a cab back in Kingsburg. From what he remembered, the man had spoken arrogantly before they got into the fight and said that he was from Graham Group. Moreover, his name was Tom Graham.
- Thinking about it, Isaac was shocked. Then, he looked at Sean and asked, "Do you know him?"
- "It's more than that!" As Sean spoke, he gripped the glass tightly and drank the alcohol in one go.
- Seeing his reaction, Isaac noticed that something was wrong. "Do you guys have a feud?" he asked.
- "Yes! His name is Tom Graham, and he is one of the heirs of the Graham Group. Aside from that, he is also a sophomore at Dunrey Business School, just like me. From the start, we weren't on good terms with each other. At the school's basketball competition, I defeated his team with my skills."
- As he spoke, his grip on the glass was tighter. "However, I never expected that b*stard would use such a despicable way to take revenge. After winning against him, he snatched a naïve girl I loved and slept with her! The worst part is that he shared her nude pictures with others, and it caused an uproar within the school. In the end, the girl nearly killed herself and dropped out of school because of her depression!"
- Crack!
- As he spoke, he threw the glass in his hand on the table harshly, and it shattered into pieces.
- "What did you do afterward?" asked Isaac with a cold face.
- "Then, I found him and beat him until he went to the hospital. Because of this, I was almost expelled from the school, but now that I think about it, I feel that I should've used more force. Damn it, that b*stard!" Sean switched to another glass and poured more alcohol into it.
- "Other than that, he has a brother called Wesley, and he had been courting my sister. Wesley didn't cause me trouble and asked Tom to apologize to me when he dealt with this matter. With that, Sandra had a good impression of him, but I think they are the same. It's just that Wesley knows how to hide it!" Sean said.
- When Isaac heard his words, he was momentarily stunned and looked at Tom.
- "I kept telling Sandra not to be fooled by him. After that, Wesley has been courting her for almost a year until now. However, Sandra has never accepted him and always keeps her distance from him due to the engagement or whatsoever." His voice had a hint of relief as he spoke. From his perspective, Wesley was not worthy compared to Isaac.
- "I met Tom a few days earlier." As Isaac spoke, he swirled the glass in his hand, and the liquid reflected different colors while being shone by the light.
- "W-What? You've met him too, Isaac?" Sean was shocked.
- "Yes." Isaac drank the alcohol and told Sean everything from meeting Tom, being in an accident, their fight, and Tom trying to drug Fleur.
- After hearing Isaac's words, Sean was even more furious. "That b*stard! I knew it. I suspected that he had drugged the girl I liked. Listening to your words now, there is a huge possibility that he has certainly done it before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have slept with him!" he roared, seemingly as if he was going to look for Tom and beat him up.
- Meanwhile, inside the booth, Tom pushed away the sexy-looking woman on top of him and wanted to go to the bathroom. When he stood up, he raised his head and saw Isaac and Sean. At first, he was startled and rubbed his eyes to get a better look. When he noticed it was them, his mind was clear, and his eyes turned cold!
- Upon seeing Isaac, he recalled that this was the man who had beaten him up and sent him to the police station at Kingsburg. Two days earlier, he spent much effort and used his connections to find Isaac's whereabouts, but to no avail. Never did he expect that he would see him here!
- "Huh, I was searching high and low, only to find you when I least expect to. Sc*mbag, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
