He cast a cold glance at Ofelia before turning his gaze to Kevin. "So, Young Master Hamilton has changed girlfriends again?"
Kevin flashed a devilish smile and casually wrapped his arm around Ofelia's waist. "Let me introduce you. This is Ofelia, my new girlfriend."
Then, Kevin turned to Ofelia. "And this, is the famous and legendary young talent of Fortune's City, and yeah! He has a lot of fortune like the city name suggest. He's the business tycoon, and the most eligible bachelor, Master Howard."
Although Kevin was praising Daniel, Ofelia couldn't help but sense a hint of mockery in his tone. She could also feel Kevin dislike for him.
Coincidentally, she also had a strong dislike for Daniel.
So, Ofelia played along perfectly, looking at Daniel and nodding slightly as if she didn't know him. "So, you are Master Howard. I've heard so much about you. Meeting you today, you truly live up to your reputation."
Upon hearing this, Daniel's handsome face visibly darkened. Even Sutton, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This... Miss Velcross is provoking his boss.
"Such an unattractive woman can catch Young Master Hamilton's eye?" Daniel said in a low voice.
"Hahaha, beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
"Seems like Young Master Hamilton's eyesight isn't great. Would you like me to recommend a good eye doctor?"
"After seeing so many ordinary women, I find someone like Ofelia more appealing."
"Is she more appealing, or just better at seducing men?"
Daniel's handsome features were as cold as ice, and his powerful presence exerted an invisible pressure on Ofelia.
Despite this, Ofelia concealed her anger and chose not to argue with him.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Daniel's words, Kevin threw his head back and laughed. Suddenly, he clutched his chest, "Ugh..." Feeling a wave of nausea, he bent over, ready to vomit, "Ugh, ugh~"
After a few dry heaves, he didn't throw up. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Ofelia's neck. "Ofelia, take me home. I feel awful."
Ofelia nodded, "Let's go."
She naturally took his arm and draped it over her shoulder, supporting Kevin as they walked out.
Daniel and Sutton stood at the doorway, showing no intention of moving aside as she approached.
The petite woman glared at them with cold eyes. "Mr. Howard, step aside." A good dog doesn't block the way!
Daniel's sharp gaze bore down on Ofelia, their eyes locking for a moment. His icy stare radiated a chilling hostility.
After a few seconds, Daniel stepped aside, moving two steps to the side to make way for them.
"Thank you, Mr. Howard!"
Ofelia deliberately raised her voice, her words seemingly polite but dripping with sarcasm.
As her words fell, Kevin mimicked Ofelia's tone, "Thank you, Mr. Howard... ugh..."
As Kevin brushed past Daniel, he came dangerously close to vomiting on him. The two men then walked away in opposite directions.
Once they disappeared down the hallway of the public restroom, Sutton turned to Daniel and asked, "Boss, should I order someone to teach Kevin a lesson?"
Daniel narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his deep gaze. "He's a worthless fool. Lowering myself to his level would be beneath me."
"But—"
Sutton wanted to say more, but Daniel had already started walking away.
Meanwhile, Ofelia was helping Kevin out of the Twilight Club. Kevin subordinates, who had been waiting for him, quickly approached. "Has the Young Master had too much to drink again?"
"Get him home and make sure he sobers up," Ofelia instructed, pushing Kevin towards his men. She then lifted her arm to sniff the alcohol on her clothes, finding the smell so pungent that it made her want to gag.
"Thank you, Miss Velcross."
"No need to thank me," she replied, waving her hand dismissively as she turned to leave. However, Kevin suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Does Master Howard know you?"
Despite being drunk, he had noticed such a 'small detail'?
Ofelia shook her head. "Are you kidding? Daniel is like a god in Fortune's City. We can only look up to him. There's no way he knows me."
"Hahaha, Ofelia got a point," Kevin laughed.
Kevin tilted his head back and smiled, waving at her before getting into the car. The car started and drove away.
She stood at the entrance for a moment, then turned and walked into the Club. Just as she stepped inside, she was met by Sutton. "Miss Velcross, the boss wants to see you."
Ofelia shot Sutton an annoyed glance. "Go back and tell Daniel that I have nothing to do with him. Who does he think he is, summoning me like I'm at his beck and call? Does he really see himself as the god of Fortune's City?"
He is nothing but a heartless jerk. People say even a tiger won't eat its cubs, but Daniel had no qualms about getting rid of an unborn child!
"Miss Velcross, the boss wants to see you," Sutton repeated calmly, his gaze steady.
"Move aside!" Ofelia's irritation grew, and she reached behind her waist to grab the stun baton she had hidden there.
"Miss Velcross, don't make this difficult for yourself."
"I said, move aside!" From the first time she met Daniel until now, Ofelia had developed nothing but hatred for him. The mere sight of Sutton's arrogant demeanor reminded her of Daniel's cold, unfeeling face.
So, seeing Sutton standing there so smugly only fueled her anger, he disgusted her. Holding an electric baton, Ofelia pointed it at Sutton, her sharp, cold eyes fixed on him without blinking, filled with anger.
Sutton nearly couldn't resist making a move, but remembering that she was carrying the future heir of the Howard Family, he reluctantly stepped aside.
Ofelia snorted coldly and walked into the club, continuing her patrol.
Unexpectedly, as she passed by private room 888, someone suddenly appeared and yanked her inside, pinning her against the door.
"Daniel Howard? Are you crazy? Let go of me!"
Seeing the man standing before her, Ofelia was infuriated.
This man was like a persistent ghost.
Daniel's large hand gripped her cheeks, his deep, chiseled features filled with frost. "You came to work at the club just to hook up with rich guys?"
Damn woman, she was so desperate that she sought out someone like Kevin, that notorious playboy.
His grip was strong, making her jaw ache, but Ofelia's inherent resilience wouldn't let her back down. She furrowed her willow-like brows. "So what if I am? I like Kevin! What does it have to do with you?"
Perhaps driven by a rebellious streak, she 'admitted' to seducing men just to provoke Daniel.
"Sleeping with me not long ago and now eager to please another man, how low can you get?"
"Ha."
Ofelia couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh. "Master Howard, we're all adults here. Men and women enjoying each other is perfectly normal. Oh, wait..."
She furrowed her brows, seemingly recalling something, and a mischievous smile played on her red lips. "A man like Master Howard, who avoids women and needs a little help to get in bed, wouldn't understand, naturally."
She emphasized the words "a little help," enunciating them slowly and clearly, as if mocking Daniel's supposed impotence.
Unbeknownst to her, those words were a severe insult and provocation to the man. A flash of fury appeared on Daniel's cold, stern face. In the next moment...
