Chapter 16 A Drunken Bonita
Sierra's smile froze.She turned around and saw a petite figure in the distance.She assumed it must have been a seductress trying to hook up with Darren.
Although she was glad Darren was finally divorced, she couldn't let other women take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him.
Sierra quickly forced a smile and chased after him.
"You don't like such parties.Why are you here then?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Darren ignored her and continued to walk.
"I just saw Mr.Myers.Are you here for him?” she asked.
"Yes," Darren replied tersely.
Just as he was about to walk to the exit, he heard a strange noise mingled with a familiar voice.
Darren stopped short and turned around.
"Don't touch me!"
Bonita pushed the waiter away and grabbed a middle-aged man.
"That necklace is definitely fake.How can it be real? Isn't it obvious?" she slurred, staggering around.
The middle-aged man looked at her with disgust.But considering he couldn't assault a woman in public, he gestured for the waiter to take Bonita away.
The waiter summoned up his courage and tried steadying Bonita.
However, just then, he saw Darren and ran up to him for help.
"Mr.Sampson!"
"What happened?"
"Miss Sampson is drunk.You..."
"Darren!"
Bonita’s eyes lit up when she saw Darren.She let go of the middle-aged man and rushed over to him.
"Darren, you're finally here! What took you so long?"
Bonita reeked of alcohol.
Sierra hurriedly grabbed her hand and smiled.
"Bonita was probably too excited that she drank a lot..."
"I'm not drunk!"
Bonita pushed her away, staggered forward, and grabbed Darren's shirt.
"Darren, fifty million dollars! How dare that slut, Claire, threaten me? She doesn't deserve Tear of Sea at all.You won't leave me alone, will you?"
Bonita slurred, but Darren understood what she meant.
A frown lined his forehead as he looked at Sierra.
"What is she saying? Isn't Tear of Sea with you?"
" Considering she couldn't hide the truth anymore, Sierra bit the bullet and told him all about the farce at the party.
"I don't remember where I lost it.I was afraid you'd be angry if you knew, so I didn't dare to tell it to you.You won't blame me, will you?"
She studied Darren's face and pretended to look miserable.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмTears welled up in her eyes as she feigned innocence.
"Claire asked Bonita to pay for it.Otherwise, she would sue her."
"All right!"
Darren's face darkened.
"I'll deal with it later."
With that, he turned and walked away.Sierra quickly grabbed Bonita and followed him.
Darren's face remained taut the entire time; she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Sierra examined Darren's face and said, "Bonita didn't mean to cause trouble.Don't be mad at her.We never thought Nathan Williams would buy such an expensive necklace for her.We don't know their relationship..."
Darren stopped short and turned around.
"Nathan Williams?"
He couldn't help but wonder if he was the reason why Claire had divorced him.
What was the relationship between them? Anger surged through his veins.Darren clenched his fists to suppress his emotions.
