Chapter 174 She Feels Burning Hot All Over
After Jayden finished his speech, Nicholas fixed his deep, dark eyes on him. His gaze appeared calm, like still water in an ancient well, but behind it, his emotions were turbulent. He stared at Jayden. without uttering a word, his mind racing with countless thoughts. An argument? If only it were just an argument, but it’s a divorce. “That’s superficial,” he finally replied after a long silence. “Do you think she’s
type of person who can be won over with just any necklace or bracelet? Do you think all women are like those gold diggers you’ve dated?”

Jayden sheepishly rubbed his nose and decided to keep quiet. Well, the women I pursued before were indeed very easy. I didn’t need to give them anything; just a few dinners and some sweet talk would do the trick. A few luxury bags for the easier ones, a sports car for the more difficult ones, and a house for the most challenging ones. So, I’m not to blame for this. From my perspective, women can be handled with money. “Nicholas, I think you’re overcomplicating things. Look at the grand show you’ve put on. You involved so many people and even had me go along with you just for a kiss, and yet she refused,” he said. “In my opinion, you should take a page out of those billionaire romance novels. Just go over, pick her up in your arms, carry her back. home, and then close the door. I guarantee everything will be resolved overnight.”
“You don’t understand, replied Nicholas. If we weren’t divorced, I might have acted that way, but now. we’re no longer husband and wife. If I force myself upon her, what will she think of me? Wouldn’t that make me no different than a rapist in her eyes?
“Well, okay, but I think she had a little too much to drink, and that liquor is strong. You should her quickly, reminded Jayden.

“You’re right.” Nicholas pushed the door open and went out in search of Nancy.
Meanwhile, after leaving Nicholas’ private room, Nancy headed straight back to the private room where her colleagues were gathering for dinner. However, when she entered the room, it was empty. “Toni…” she called out as she walked inside, but there was no response.
After a while, a waitress entered and informed Nancy that the bill for the private room had been. settled. She politely asked Nancy to leave as they were about to clean the room.
Nancy had no choice but to leave. With nowhere to go, she squatted outside the private room and called Toni.
It was only when she took out her phone that she realized Toni had called her multiple times. Coincidentally, all the calls were made while she was in Nicholas’ private room, and perhaps due to the noise, she hadn’t managed to answer any of them.
She tried calling back, but there was no answer.
She made a few more attempts, but still no response. If she guessed correctly, Tom probably left on her own after failing to reach her on the phone, thinking that she had already returned home ‘Forget it. II! go home by myself, then she mumbled, putting her phone away as she headed out. She was feeling extremely uncomfortable now, her body felt like it was on fire. She rugged at her clothes as she walkeid. but even so, the felt burning hot all over
Previously when she was having fun with her colleagues most of them were drinking beer since they were mostly girls Although she had been tipsy her tipsiness had come and gone quickly and she had
almost completely sobered up thanks to the ware from Juhan
This particular drink, however, was different. It was a high-proof liquor; the moment it went down, she found it sharp and very unpleasant to taste. Now, she was feeling more and more lightheaded. She felt feverish and woozy, her consciousness fading away, and her stomach churned violently with a burning
sensation.
home.
She struggled to make her way to the hotel’s entrance with only one thought in her mind: to go This place is filled with all sorts of people. I have to get home quickly, or I’ll be in great danger. That being said, I’m feeling really uncomfortable. She held on with sheer determination, but when she was halfway there, she began to see stars, becoming so dizzy that she almost had no strength left. In the end, she could only lean against a pillar in the hotel lobby, barely managing to support herself.
At that moment, Julian and his assistant happened to arrive in the hotel lobby, preparing to leave.
The sharp-eyed assistant spotted Nancy immediately. He promptly asked, “Mr. Jadin, that lady seems. to have had too much to drink. She’s the one Madam asked you to check on. Should we give her a ride home?”
Julian had only come here because his mother had instructed this assistant to accompany him and ensure that he came. “Since when did you become so kindhearted? If you want to help her, do it yourself. Don’t involve me,” he replied coolly before walking away without even sparing a glance at Nancy. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The assistant was left speechless.
Meanwhile, after taking a short break, Nancy continued walking outside. She was feeling incredibly dizzy, causing her to stumble and stagger as she walked. Suddenly, she bumped into Julian.
Julian hadn’t expected her to appear in front of him so suddenly, so his tall figure collided with her right away.
“Sorry,” Nancy instinctively apologized, then continued moving forward. She was supposed to stop upon reaching the hotel’s entrance, but she found that her feet were acting independently of her mind. As a result, she ended up walking onto the road in front of the hotel.
Suddenly, a car approached, startling the assistant, who cried out, “Watch out!”
However, Nancy was entirely oblivious to it due to her dizziness. Just in the nick of time, Julian grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her towards himself.
Only then did the assistant breathe a sigh of relief.
“You’re not even watching where you’re going! Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Julian couldn’t help but scold Nancy after pulling her back. After all, being a doctor, he couldn’t just stand by and watch her get run over by a car. Seeing her completely wasted and almost unconscious, he could only look at her with disdain, especially when he caught a whiff of alcohol coming from her.
His assistant carefully observed the look in his eyes, contemplating whether or not to speak up
Just then Julian spoke up Pointing at Nancy, he instructed his assistant, “Get her in the car

Jultan gave him a cold Irak Do you expect me to personally assist a drunk person into the car

Finally understanding what Julian meant, his assistant replied cheerfully, “Understood, Mr. Jadin! Don’t worry, I’ll help her into the car immediately.”
Despite being drunk, Nancy was lightweight, so the assistant only needed to guide her a little and successfully got her into the car. He then turned to Julian and said, “Please get in, Mr. Jadin.”
Julian stood outside and was momentarily startled. Suddenly, he reached towards the front car door and appeared to have taken something from the chauffeur.
The assistant was confused; the next moment, he saw Julian spraying disinfectant all over Nancy. Mr. Jadin, this is excessive. If she wakes up and discovers this, it will be extremely embarrassing.
After finishing spraying the disinfectant, Julian tossed it to his assistant, who caught it and was about to get in the car when the door suddenly closed. Julian’s icy voice came from inside the car, saying, “It’s crowded in here. Take a cab back on your own.”
The assistant was left standing there, completely bewildered. “Mr. Jadin, how could you be so heartless?”
At that moment, Nicholas came running frantically from the lobby. When he saw that the car had already left-especially when he saw its license plate number-his gaze instantly turned icy, as if it could freeze everyone around him..
