Chapter 236
Charlie also called Mamie, telling her to go check on room 8801.
Mamie hung up the phone, feeling very scared. She dared not disobey Charlie, but she couldn’t afford
to offend Manley, either. She was in a bind
with both of them!
After thinking about it, she grabbed a bottle of wine and knocked on the door of room 8801. Upon
entering, she saw Manley and Estelle sitting on the couch, and it seemed that Manley hadn’t done
anything to Estelle. Mamie felt relieved and said softly with a smile, “Mr. Scott, it’s been a while since
you came. I brought you a bottle of wine to thank you for taking care of us for so long!”
Manley seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a half–smile, “Mamie, don’t be too normal. A
beautiful girl like Estelle comes to the eighth floor, and you don’t even tell me about it. It’s like you don’t
see me as your own people!”
Mamie played dumb, “Mr. Scott, you mean Estelle? She just arrived not long ago, I haven’t had time to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttell you about it, please don’t be angry!”
Manley smiled faintly, looking at the wine she brought, “If you drink up this bottle of wine, I won’t be
angry!”
Mamie’s face changed slightly and laughed awkwardly, “you must be joking!
Manley’s smile faded, “When have I ever joked with you?”
Mamie couldn’t help but feel anxious. Although Manley had a weird temper, he had never bullied her
before. Today he suddenly got angry at her, as he might have guessed that she came here on
someone else’s behalf. Feeling guilty, she feared that after this incident, she would offend Manley!
She smiled and opened the wine, “It’s my fault. I apologize to you, and I’ll drink it up!”
Estelle raised her hand and took the wine from Mamie’s hand, looking at Manley, “If you’re angry, I’ll
apologize. There’s no need to take it out on someone else.”
She didn’t know that someone had taken a picture and posted it on Facebook, catching Charlie’s eye.
She also didn’t know that Mamie came here on Charlie’s behalf. She just thought that Manley was
angry at her words and dragged Mamie into it.
____Since arriving at Midnight Bar, Mamie had always taken good care of her, so she couldn’t let her
take the blame again.
A chill flashed through Manley’s eyes. Not only did she protect Jonathan, but now she’s also protecting
someone else. What did she take him for? He smiled faintly, “Alright, then you drink!”
Estelle looked at Manley and felt that she was impulsive. She could have just poured the wine on
Manley’s head instead of apologizing, what did she have to apologize for?
“Are you regretting yourself?” Manley smirked at her.
Mamie glanced at Estelle, “I’ll toast to Mr. Scott, and you don’t need to interfere! There are guests at
8809, go check on them!”
Mamie thought that since 8809 was Jonathan’s room, and Manley knew that. Saying this would make
Manley hesitate a bit.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Manley got even angrier and said indifferently, “No one is leaving this
room until she finishes drinking this bottle

of wine!”
Estelle didn’t find Manley’s fickle moods surprising. She calmly took the wine bottle, poured it into her
glass, and drank it in a few gulps.
After pouring her second glass, Manley suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, his eyes full of
resentment, “Enough!”
He was angry at her for being ungrateful, for being biased towards Jonathan, and for always looking at
him with guarded eyes. But seeing her being forced to drink, he felt unhappy at all!
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open. They all turned to look at the entrance.
Jonathan stood at the door in his tall and aloof figure. His eyes landed on Manley’s hand gripping
Estelle’s wrist, and his expression darkened
further.
Mamie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Lamont!”
Estelle forcefully broke free from Manley’s hand, stood up, and looked at Jonathan who was walking
straight toward her.
Manley also got up, his face already wearing a careless smile, “Mr. Lamont, you sure know how to
make a grand entrance!”
