Lionel Yeager looked curious, wondering what the woman wanted to do.
Soon, Julie Stewart walked over and sat down at the piano.
Then, Julie Stewart began to play the piano.
The woman’s slender fingers glided over the keys, and the beautiful music resonated.
The melody was sometimes graceful, sometimes melodious, and sometimes surging, accompanied by the pleasant river scene, leaving Lionel Yeager fascinated and intoxicated.
Moreover, somehow, Lionel Yeager heard a hint of sorrow and sadness in the piano music.
He could tell the woman was troubled.
Moonlight sprinkled down, casting light on the woman’s graceful figure and her delicate, soft face, enveloping her in an enticing glow.
The evening breeze lifted the woman’s hair, creating an indescribably beautiful sight.
Not only were her looks and figure top-notch, but she was also intelligent, elegant, calm, and generous.
All the excellent qualities of a mature woman could be found in her.
This woman was truly perfect, flawless beyond critique.
As the piano music continued, Lionel Yeager listened quietly, enjoying a moment of peace.
Before he knew it, the song was over.
Lionel Yeager was still not fully recovered from the piano music just now.
It was not until Julie Stewart sat across from him that Lionel Yeager snapped back to reality.
Lionel Yeager smiled and said, "Sister Betty, I didn’t expect you to be able to play the piano.
By the way, what was the song you just played?"
Julie Stewart replied, "Wedding in the Dream."-
Lionel Yeager nodded and asked, "Sister Betty, do you have something on your mind?"
Julie Stewart shook her head, "You’re overthinking it."
Lionel Yeager knew better than to pry further when the woman didn’t want to talk about it.
In the following time, Lionel Yeager and Julie Stewart chatted with each other, talking about all kinds of topics.
Lionel Yeager’s mood improved quite a bit.
No one knew how long their conversation had lasted.
Julie Stewart picked up her mobile phone and looked at it, saying, "It’s already ten o’clock, the time’s late, you can go find Julia now."
Lionel Yeager helplessly said, "But I don’t know where she is right now."
Julie Stewart replied, "Just give her a call."
Lionel Yeager nodded, opened his mobile phone, and called Julia Stewart.
Lionel Yeager called her a few more times, but still no one answered.
"She’s not picking up the phone."
Lionel Yeager couldn’t help but frown, "Did something happen to her?"
Not long ago, Julia Stewart had been kidnapped by the Lewis Family Sisters, which had left a shadow on his heart.
"Don’t worry, I’ll have someone check it out."
Julie Stewart said, then picked up her mobile phone and made a call.
After hanging up, she waited for a while before receiving another phone call.
Julie Stewart answered the call and spoke for a few moments, then told Lionel Yeager, "Julia is at Rose Bar."
Lionel Yeager nodded, "Sister Betty, then I’ll be going first. You should also head home early."
With that, Lionel Yeager hurriedly left the restaurant.
It was not until watching Lionel Yeager leave that Julie Stewart let out a long sigh.
The mixed air was filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol, and the music was noisy. Young men and women danced in the dance floor, sweating and searching for their prey.
At this moment, in a corner spot.
A beautiful woman dressed in a beige professional suit was drinking one glass of wine after another.
This woman was Julia Stewart.
After Lionel had left the restaurant, she had been driving around searching for him.
She went to his company and his home, but she couldn’t find him anywhere.
She made many phone calls and sent many messages, but didn’t receive any response.
This made her feel a little panicked, as if she had been abandoned.
Unsure where else to search for Lionel, she decided to drown her sorrows in a bar, hoping that when she sobered up, he would appear by her side.
By now, Julia had already had too much to drink, her face flushed with a drunken glow. Her long black hair was disheveled, her eyes hazy, and she exuded a lethal allure.
Several men were intently staring at Julia, considering her their prey.
Julia’s eyes were rimmed with red, her beautiful tear-streaked face conveying her sadness.
As she drank and sobbed, she said, "Lionel, I was wrong. I know I was wrong now. I should’ve trusted you. Please come back to me..."
The moment Lionel had left looking resolute, she had felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a needle had punctured it.
Only then did she realize that this man had found his way into her heart and occupied an important place within it.
"Beauty, why are you drinking alone?"
At that moment, a man in a floral shirt approached her with a malicious grin on his face.
Julia ignored him, continuing to drink her alcohol.
The man in the floral shirt cheerfully said, "Beauty, it’s no fun drinking alone. Why don’t you have a few drinks with us?"
With that, the man in the floral shirt reached out to grab Julia’s hand.
Julia violently shook off the man’s hand.
A hint of anger flashed in the man’s eyes.
He eyed Julia’s neckline and then sneakily dropped a pill into one of her bottles.
After that, the man in the floral shirt left.
Not far away, a group of men and women were sitting in a booth, drinking.
The man in the middle was short-haired, surrounded by women.
Seeing the man in the floral shirt approaching, the short-haired man asked, "Jordan, how did it go?"
The man in the floral shirt made an "OK" gesture and said, "Brother Massey, it’s done!"
Brother Massey nodded, salivating over the sight of Julia in the distance, "Never before has such high-quality beauty come to this bar. We’re really in luck today!"
The man in the floral shirt said, "Brother Massey, this woman is really beautiful and has such a good figure. Can we also have some fun?"
Brother Massey waved his hand and said, "Don’t worry, there’ll be a share for everyone today!"
"Thanks, Brother Massey!"
His underlings raised their glasses and laughed raucously.
At this point, Julia, in the distant booth, finished her first glass of wine and picked up another bottle, pouring the alcohol into her glass.
After filling her glass, Julia began to down it, one gulp after another.
After finishing this glass, Julia suddenly felt a burning heat all over her body.
She took off her coat, leaving herself in just a white chiffon shirt.
Despite removing her coat, she still felt very warm, her cheeks flushed, and her body tingling as if ants were crawling all over her. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
Noticing that something was wrong, she picked up her bag and coat, preparing to leave.
However, she had only taken a few steps when a group of men blocked her path.
These men were none other than Brother Massey and his gang.
"Beauty, don’t be in such a rush to leave. Come have some fun with us!"
"Yeah, beauty, let’s go have some late-night snacks!"
"After we eat, we can go find some other forms of entertainment!"
Brother Massey and his gang exchanged lewd comments, smirking.
At this time, the other people in the bar also noticed the commotion, but they didn’t dare to intervene.
Julia did her best to remain rational and screamed at Brother Massey and his gang.
