NovelBookChapter 171
It was only after hearing Patricia's yelp that Nikola looked down and saw that the painting was already
half burned. Hurriedly, he extinguished the fire, but only the beautiful woman's head was left, which
infuriated him to no end. "It hurts! My beauty, you haven't entered my dreams yet!"
Next to him, Percy nearly collapsed from laughter, while Isaac said coldly, "Nikola, in the future, stop
listening to these rumors and don't do these lowly things either."
Even though he was a genius in the medical field, he was also a lunatic. Seeing that the painting was
ruined, Nikola furiously threw it aside. "How boring. I only wanted to give it a try because I heard about
it, but I didn't expect to lose this opportunity too."
Meanwhile, Patricia felt her heart ache as she watched as half a million went to waste just like that. She
thought to herself, Young Master Ortega, if you think that you have too much money to spend, give it to
me and I'll help you! We're talking about half a million here! What a waste.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Nikola saw the necklace on Patricia's neck, he sneered. "Ise, you said I listen to rumors, but
aren't you the same? You bought that necklace just because you believed that it can make couples
love each other their entire lives. You're just like me."
Feeling Nikola's gaze, Patricia quickly reached out and stuffed the necklace into her clothes before
smiling at him. "Young Master Ortega, this isn't that necklace! It just looks a little similar, but it doesn't
have a black diamond."
Isaac had taught her this, and she had already figured out the mechanism of this necklace. As long as
she hid the black diamond away, no one would know its value.
Nikola raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, Do you think I'm as stupid as you? Ise is just tricking
you.
He picked up his wine glass and changed the topic. "Tricia, this venison tastes the best with wine."
As it was Patricia's first time eating grilled venison, she easily believed him, partially because she
remembered that the characters in a movie she had watched once ate grilled venison that was served
with warm wine on a snowy day as well. With the current weather, she felt that although it wasn't
snowing, it was already cold enough.
Hence, she clinked her glass against his. "Cheers."
Isaac frowned slightly. What she was drinking was sparkling wine, and although it was delicious, it had
strong aftereffects. Hence, when he placed a piece of grilled meat on her plate, he reminded, "Don't
drink too much, Miss Aniston. This wine is quite strong."
Patricia rolled her eyes at him. As a matter of fact, she was already getting tipsy. "President Arnold,
you're so stingy. This wine tastes as good as a drink, so I won't get drunk. Are you not going to treat me
if I have a few more drinks? What a cheapskate."
Isaac fell silent while Percy moodily drank his wine. Whenever he thought about how Darcie wouldn't
come to beg him anymore, he instantly felt irritated.
However, Nikola laughed instead. "President Arnold, you're stingy indeed, stingy enough to give her a
necklace worth 150 million as a present. Hahaha…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsaac took a bite of the meat, thinking that it tasted good. He said in a detached voice, "Nikola, if you
get her drunk today, I'll withdraw my investments from the laboratory."
Hearing this, Nikola hurriedly stopped Patricia. "Tricia, let's stop drinking and eat the meat instead, all
right?"
Meanwhile, Patricia felt like there were more people in front of her now. Isaac had turned into three
people and there were countless Nikolas everywhere, whereas Percy was innumerable. Her head
spinning, she groaned, "Ugh, this wine tastes good. I want to drink more."
Nikola's brows furrowed. "She's already drunk. Doesn't that make things easier for you? I'm just helping
you out here." Feeling helpless, he was practically about to get on his knees when he said this. Last
time, Isaac had asked them to make her drunk, but why did he have a sudden change of mind now?
Isaac glanced at Patricia and said, "I'm getting engaged next week. She'll kill me if I do something to
her now."
Isaac fell silent while Percy moodily drank his wine. Whenever he thought about how Darcie wouldn't
come to beg him anymore, he instantly felt irritated.
