Chapter 854

Everything was fine. There was no bankruptcy at home; Mom and Dad were still there. Quentin also loved me—everything was happy and warm.

Until Vonnie was sent abroad, I got involved with Reynaldo.

Slowly, everything changed.

Vonnie suddenly took a deep breath and smiled at me, saying, "Forget about the past, come on, let's drink, let's drink."

Yes, those past memories, when recalled, only add to the sadness.

Everyone will grow up, and growth always comes with a price.

Feeling like the atmosphere wasn’t lively enough, Vonnie turned up the music again.

Suddenly, rhythmic and lively music filled the living room.

She was holding a bottle of wine, dancing to the music, and shouting at me, “Come on, Ralda, let’s dance.”

I smiled, picked up a bottle of wine, and walked over.

She gulped down a few sips of wine, dancing and saying, "Screw Johnathan, do I look like someone who needs a man?"

He said he didn’t want to marry me. It’s really funny. I don’t want to marry him either.

“Yes, that’s right. And that dead ghost Reynaldo, always walking around with a gloomy face, as if someone owed him billions.”

Oh my god, didn’t I lend him tens of millions earlier? I have money now, I will pay him back later—so annoying!

“Yeah, those men—each one of them is so self-confident and likes to put on a stinky face. Damn, do we owe them anything?” Vonnie angrily cursed, clinking glasses with me. “Come on, Ralda, drink! Let’s not bother with those stinky men; the two of us can just live together, much better than watching their faces.”

“Yes, yes, come on, drink! Don’t mind those stinky men, drink!”

In the end, I got drunk with Vonnie.

I don’t know how much I drank; I just felt dizzy and saw bottles of wine all over the floor.

Vonnie clamored for more to drink.

I staggered to the French window and looked around for a while, only to find that all the wine had been drunk, and those were all empty bottles.

Vonnie was also searching for wine on the ground.

It was just an accident that she stepped on an empty wine bottle and fell to the ground instantly.

I staggered over to help her up, saying, “Get up, be careful.”

Vonnie got drunk and was so heavy that I had to exert a lot of effort to pull her up.

Just as I was pulling her, and we hadn’t taken two steps, we fell together onto the sofa.

She pushed me with her eyes closed, saying, “I still want to drink, buy alcohol, go buy alcohol…”

I also wanted to drink, actually.

I smiled at her and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll go buy some wine. Today we… um… we won’t get drunk… won’t go home…”

“Hehe, not going home until I’m drunk,” Vonnie lay on the sofa, giggling.

I groggily climbed down from the sofa, only to find my hand grasping at thin air.

The body suddenly fell down, and the head hit the coffee table.

I couldn’t feel the pain, but I felt something flowing down from my forehead.

I went to touch it with a dazed look.

Red? Is it blood?

But it didn’t hurt.

I shook my head and stood up unsteadily.

I burped after drinking, and I laughed foolishly at Vonnie on the sofa, saying, "I’m going to buy more alcohol, don’t fall asleep, wait for me!"

“Mmm, I’ll wait for you,” Vonnie muttered with her eyes closed.

I went to look for my phone again, only to find that the phone, left in the corner of the sofa, was still on.
