Chapter 508
Zeke, in his all-white tailored suit, stood proudly in the middle of the dance floor like a
handsome knight in shining armor. No one except for Corinne and the rest of the group knew. what he was going to do.
Jason called one of the waiters who was carrying around a tray of red wine in his hand over. He then picked up a glass of red wine and gestured to the waiter using his chin, signaling him to offer the wine to each of his friends.
Gerald and Jeremy both picked up a glass, clinked them together, and stood waiting to watch Zeke’s performance.
Corinne shook her head at the waiter. “Thank you, but I don’t drink.”
Jason smiled. “Bring this lady a glass of juice instead.”
“Yes, Mister Talbot,” the waiter replied with a nod. He then went to do as he was asked.
Jason took the opportunity to stand beside Corinne. He put his lips close to her ear and whispered mischievously, “Corinne, do you usually not drink?”
“Well, that really depends on my mood,” Corinne answered lightly.
Jason raised his eyebrow and there was curiosity and interest in his alluring eyes. “Do you drink when you’re in a good mood or in a bad mood?”
“Both.”
Jason smiled. “If that’s the case, can I take you out for a drink sometime?”
Corinne looked sideways at his alluring face. She wanted to tell him to stop flirting with her. However, as soon as she turned around, she accidentally saw Jeremy looking over at them with narrowed eyes. The look in his eyes was sharp, dark, and terrifying.
A weird feeling bubbled up inside Corinne. She quickly turned her head away and stopped talking to Jason.
At that moment, the piano music in the banquet hall had given way to a sexy song.
Gerald–with the wine still in his hand-started swaying to the beat of the music.
“Zeke, you should move your booty now!”
Zeke made a ‘tsk’ sound, raised his hand, and flipped his hair with it.
It was now or never. There was no more holding back.

Pitch-black darkness descended over the banquet. Everyone was shocked and they all started to panic.
‘Is this a blackout?’
“What’s going on?”
“Did the electricity trip?”
“It’s so dark. What should I do? I’m afraid of the dark…”
Some of them started to jostle each other and Corinne was forced to take a step back, causing her to nearly fall. However, at the last minute, she managed to grab Jason’s arm to prevent herself from falling.
She wore high heels which she was not used to, so her sense of balance was a little off. She shuddered to think what would happen to her and her baby if she was to fall. What happened if no one saw her fall due to the darkness and a stampede occurred?
Corinne grabbed Jason’s arm tightly to balance herself.
“Jason, please let me hold on to you for a while.”
