Chapter 217: Forced Kiss Jared Farrell
Amber Reed didn’t even greet Esther and Garrett in the living room. She urgently took out her phone to call Nathaniel Farrell. After several attempts, Nathaniel finally answered, his tone filled with coldness and impatience, “What is it?”
“Let’s meet,” Amber said, rapidly calculating how to ensure Nathaniel would fulfill their deal.
“Alright,” Nathaniel agreed after a long silence and gave her an address. “Come find me at THEONE Club.”
Amber hung up the phone and, ignoring the complex looks from others in the living room, left immediately.
Audrey Woodwind watched Amber rush out again right after coming back and smirked to herself. Amber wanted to marry Nathaniel Farrell? She wouldn’t let that happen. It was time to reveal what she had obtained at great expense from one of Nathaniel’s lovers!
THEONE Club.
“Miss Reed, dare to play Truth or Dare?” In the hall, Albert Sitwell, Hendrik Stiller, Velma Lehman, Shonna Woodham, and Elena Heisler were teasing Tina in a booth.
Today, they had specially invited Tina out as a thank-you. Initially, they planned to have dinner but someone suggested drinking since they had graduated high school. Thus, they ended up at this club owned by the Lehman family.
“How do we play?” Tina raised an eyebrow and sipped her Longjing tea, asking calmly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“We’ll use this bottle,” Albert said excitedly, placing an empty bottle and a lot-drawing tube on the table. “Whoever the bottle points to chooses between truth or dare. If you choose truth first, you must choose dare next time. The dare tasks are decided by drawing lots.”
“Alright,” Tina showed some interest.
Albert and Hendrik exchanged a mischievous glance. Albert spun the bottle, which landed on Tina. “Haha, Miss Reed, truth or dare?”
Tina saw through Albert’s little trick but didn’t mind. She smiled lightly, “Truth.”
“Hehe,” Velma and the others laughed slyly. Velma asked quietly, “How long does Mr. Farrell last?”
Tina was speechless.
Graduating high school really let them loose?
“Do you dare to hear my answer?” Tina raised an eyebrow, holding her teacup with one hand and looking at them meaningfully.
Velma and her friends exchanged glances and thought about Jared Farrell’s icy eyes. They shivered but couldn’t resist their curiosity. “Dare! Why wouldn’t we?”
Tina sighed internally; these kids were bold but she truly didn’t know the answer. “I don’t know.”
“No way! You haven’t done it even after being engaged for so long?” Elena Heisler exclaimed. She often saw Jared glued to Tina like they were inseparable but hadn’t expected nothing had happened yet.
Recalling Jared’s past as a wheelchair-bound invalid, she blurted out, “Could Mr. Farrell be… incapable?”
Tina remembered their close encounter two days ago. “He’s quite capable.”
“You haven’t tried it; how do you know?” Elena pressed on.
“It’s Miss Reed’s turn to spin,” Shonna quickly intervened before more rumors could start spreading about Jared Farrell.
Tina spun the bottle again; it pointed at Hendrik Stiller who chose truth too. Then he spun it back to Tina.
“Miss Reed, it’s a dare this time,” Albert said with a smirk, pushing the lot-drawing tube towards her.
Tina drew a lot casually. Velma grabbed it and exclaimed, “This is intense!”
The slip read: “Forcefully kiss the next person who walks through the door.”
“Miss Reed, dare you?” Hendrik grinned mischievously.
Tina’s ears twitched as she caught sight of someone entering through the corner of her eye. She smiled suddenly, “Why not?”
She stood up and walked towards the door under everyone’s watchful eyes.
At the entrance stood a tall man in a suit talking on his phone. As soon as he stepped inside, Tina grabbed his tie and pulled him down for a forceful kiss without giving him a chance to refuse.
“Oh my God!” The crowd gasped at the scene and started taking pictures until someone recognized him.
“Isn’t that Mr. Farrell?”
The crowd began whistling at Jared Farrell and Tina locked in an embrace.
Jared was surprised but wrapped his arms around Tina’s waist, feeling her warmth and fragrance. He had come knowing she was here but hadn’t expected such a passionate welcome.
From his neglected phone came Nathan Lehman’s voice asking repeatedly, “Mr. Farrell? Mr. Farrell?”
Jared forgot everything else as he immersed himself in Tina’s public display of affection.
Tina had heard Jared’s voice earlier and agreed to the dare knowing it was him. Her fiance-she could kiss him all she wanted!
Amber Reed entered the club’s hall just in time to see Jared and Tina kissing passionately under dim lights that enveloped them like a dream.
She felt like a rat in a gutter watching them with jealousy and hatred while gripping her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
Many people noticed Amber and gave her strange looks due to her recent scandal involving attempted murder of her adoptive grandmother.
Jared and Tina heard people whispering about Amber’s arrival but didn’t spare her a glance. They smiled at each other after their kiss before returning to their booth arm-in-arm.
Ignoring all eyes on her and whispers around her, Amber quietly made her way to Nathaniel’s private room.
Jared had already heard that Nathaniel was also there. He raised an eyebrow and called Logan to report dutifully, “Grandpa, cousin is meeting Amber Reed again.”
Trying to harm his Tina while using their family as cover? No way!
“What?!” Logan roared angrily as expected. “Is he brain-dead or bewitched by that Amber Reed? I’ll go find his father!”
Jared then texted Nathan Lehman: “Release what we found at Silas Blackwood’s place.”
After some thought, he sent another message: “Give Jasper Reed what he’s been looking for.”
