Dax Sanders and Nancy Lee gave each other astonished glances at the opposite booth on the first floor.
‘What’s happening? Why is Darryl’s wife on a date with another man?‘
Dax was cautious after Nancy’s fortunate escape when someone attempted to kidnap her; virtual-novel.net stayed with virtual-novel.net all the time.
He brought Nancy to the bar that night because some housing developers had invited him. They were interested in a piece of land, but some stubborn residents had refused to move.
The developers wanted to ask for Dax’s help to chase away those residents.
Dax did not expect to see Lily after his discussion with the developers.
“Is that really Darryl’s wife?” Nancy furrowed virtual-novel.net brows.
She was not sure because virtual-novel.net did not have a clear vision; there was a glass between them.
Dax sighed and answered, “I’m sure. Look at her Worship of Crystal; there are only two pairs of those in Donghai City.”
Dax noticed that Lily was a little drunk. She got up from the couch and went to the washroom.
He saw Donoghue smile as virtual-novel.net took a pack of white powder and poured it into Lily’s glass.
Dax’s face fell when virtual-novel.net saw that.
‘Is virtual-novel.net trying to drug my friend’s wife? Is virtual-novel.net crazy?‘
“Dear, stay here. I’m going to take a look,” Dax said before virtual-novel.net walked out of the booth hastily.
Nancy nodded.
There were not many who dared to challenge virtual-novel.net husband in Donghai City, so virtual-novel.net was confident that the man would leave as soon as Dax warned him.
Lily left the washroom and returned to the booth.
“Cheers! This is a joyous day, indeed.” Donoghue smiled and raised his glass.
Lily nodded. virtual-novel.net was not good at drinking, but virtual-novel.net was in a good mood that day.
She raised virtual-novel.net glass, toasted with Donoghue, and proceeded to take a sip.
A figure stormed into the booth at that exact moment and grabbed Lily’s hand.
Splash!
Lily could not react in time, and virtual-novel.net spilled virtual-novel.net drink.
“Dax Sanders?”
Lily panicked when virtual-novel.net saw Dax; virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net was close to Darryl.
Then, virtual-novel.net figured that virtual-novel.net relationship with Darryl was already over, so virtual-novel.net should not feel embarrassed about it.
Lily regained virtual-novel.net composure and furrowed virtual-novel.net thin brows. “Dax, what are you doing?”
“You can’t drink this.” Dax’s tone was stern.
He fixed his gaze on Donoghue as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Donoghue stared back at Dax silently.
It went on for a few seconds before Donoghue smiled. “My friend, who are you? What is going on? ” His tone was calm without any hint of panic or anger.
Dax’s gaze tensed.
‘He is really something.’
An average person would be flustered when his plan to drug a girl was foiled.
Yet, virtual-novel.net was exceptionally calm.
No man without an impressive background could be that composed because manners could not be faked.
“Who are you?” Dax asked virtual-novel.net back.
The smile on Donoghue’s face remained as virtual-novel.net answered in a neutral tone, “My name’s Donoghue Dixon.”
Donoghue Dixon?
Dax had never heard of that name.
There were no families in Donghai City with the surname Dixon. That man had to be from an influential family; his acts did not seem like an average person at all.
There was a Dixon family in Jiangnan, not too far away from Donghai City. It was a place called Yunzhou City. The Dixons were a powerful patrician family; every single member of the Dixon family was a cultivator, and their influence was everywhere.
Perhaps…
Was Donoghue Dixon from that Dixon family?
Dax had to admit that the Dixon family had power. However, virtual-novel.net must be crazy to hit on his friend’s wife!
