Chapter 460

Esme let out a heavy sigh and finished her drink. Elizabeth just didn't get Alexander at all. He had feelings too, you know?

“Elizabeth, let me tell you why Alexander sticks around and spoils endlessly,” Esme said, looking right at her.

So why was he so set on divorcing Elizabeth and marrying Esme all these years? Elizabeth waited for Esme to spill the beans.

Esme grinned. “It’s because of you.”

Elizabeth frowned, thinking. “Because of me? What does that even mean?”

Esme leaned in a bit. She was about to say more when the band switched up the music, making the place buzz with energy.

Kieran walked over and yanked Esme up. “Enough drinking. Let’s dance.”

By the time Elizabeth looked up, Kieran had already whisked Esme away. Esme looked annoyed. “Kieran, didn’t you see I was in the middle of something?”

“What could you possibly need to talk about? It’s a miracle you’re not causing trouble for Elizabeth,” Kieran shot back, pushing Esme into the crowd.

As soon as people saw Esme, they swarmed around her. Kieran glanced at Elizabeth. “Go rest. Don’t get tangled up with Esme.”

Elizabeth smiled. “Worried she’ll hurt me?”

“Exactly,” Kieran nodded.

Elizabeth sighed. “I used to get screwed over by her a lot. Not anymore.”

“Still, no accidents tonight,” Kieran said, spreading his hands.

Elizabeth squinted; this sounded so familiar, almost like something la would say. She looked at Esme in the crowd, who was staring right back at her. Esme definitely had something to say but got cut off.

Elizabeth swirled her wine, eyes locked on Esme. What does Alexander loving Esme have to do with me? Why did she say it’s because of me? Elizabeth wondered.

She bit her lip, hesitating, when someone approached her. “Hello, Ms. Percy…”

Chapter 460

Elizabeth turned to see a young guy. “Hello.”

“Can I buy you a drink?” he asked.

Elizabeth shook her head. “Sorry, I’ve had too much already and I’m not feeling great. See you.”

She planned to use that excuse all night. She hurried off the deck.

On the sixth floor, there were small gambling tables, card games, and karaoke. As soon as Elizabeth walked in, she saw a guy in black sunglasses carrying a suitcase into a private room.

As the door closed, she heard a cheerful voice inside, “Five million dollars. Drink up!”

Elizabeth looked over to the public area. She saw dancers performing, and a few well-dressed men throwing money at them, saying some pretty nasty stuff.

“Come on, shake it harder!”

“Take it all off!”

Elizabeth pursed her lips, feeling a mix of emotions and a wave of discomfort. As the cruise ship sailed further from the city lights, people seemed to be getting wilder, with no one to stop them!

“Take it off. How much to strip? Name your price!”

“Boss, we only dance. We don’t sell our bodies.”

“You’re in a place like this, and you’re still playing innocent? Just say if the money’s not enough.”

The people here had everything but limits.
