Chapter 58


    Olivia reached out to the wine bottle. “You’re right. I should raise a ss to them.”


    Almost instantly, Keith and Everly stopped her and warned her sternly, “No. You can’t drink.

    She looked at Everly pleadingly. “I’ll only take a sip. It’s fine.”


    Everly let go of Olivia’s hands when she read the determination in her friends‘ eyes.


    Olivia poured herself a ss of red wine and made her way to the couple while Keith looked on with


    hesitation. With a smile, she said, “Mr. Miller, Ms. Carlton, I wish you a happy marriage. I’ll drink this


    toast whether you like it or not. Please consider this my congrattions in advance. I will not attend


    your engagement party.”


    Then, she downed the ss of wine like the guest before her without looking at Ethan and Marina.


    Ethan knew she was a lightweight who’d get tipsy from a ss of wine. Marina stood up with her ss


    and beamed. “Ethan and I will be happy. Thanks for your blessing.”


    In what seemed to be apetition, she poured herself a full ss of wine and downed it like Olivia.


    “Enough!” Two male voices echoed in the room. Ethan and Keith had to put a stop to the madness.


    Keith grabbed the half–empty ss from Olivia and told Ethan, “For the sake of her health, I’ll drink on


    her behalf.”


    Ethan, who had been silent, finally broke into an amused smile. “Who are you to her? What right do


    you have to drink on her behalf?”


    The guests at the table thought that was Ethan’s pet peeve, hence the hostility. They shot awkward


    looks at Keith, who calmly replied, “That’s none of your business, Mr. Miller.”


    Ethan finally looked at Keith, who was standing over him. Despite being seated, Ethan seemed


    authoritative with his quiet and serious attitude. His emotionless nce exerted pressure on whomever


    hey his eyes on.


    The guests watched on as Ethan chuckled and lifted a ss of wine. He said, amused, “Finally,


    someone with a spine from the Rogers Family.”


    Everyone was left confused because Ethan’s chilling smile contradicted hispliment. He followed up


    with, “I wonder if you’ll survive this winter.”


    He finally made his threat clear. Ethan was as ruthless and fickle as the rumors painted him. He was a


    man who’d be outraged at the sight of Keith drinking on behalf of ady and would resort to


    bankrupting Keith’s family.


    As one of the scions in Aldenvine, Keith was widely seen as a respected heir and doctor. Only Ethan


    had the power to step over him due to the Millers‘ influence.


    The Millers were the top elites in this city, but Ethan kept a low–profile. He rarely made a move against


    anyone, but if he ever did, he made sure to destroy his target.


    Calvin took Ethan’s threat seriously and quickly jumped in to mediate. “Mr. Miller, please calm down.


    Dr. Rogers was only being nice to Olivia.”


    Rubbing the wine ss with his fingertips, Ethan snickered. “Keith Rogers, who are you to drink on her


    behalf? You have a chance to return to your seat. If you do, I’ll let this slip.”
