Chapter 185

"Alright then, it's settled. Lucian, let's finish this last drink!" Mr. Bryant raised his glass again. Lucian Sterling wasn't one to shy away—he'd already had a few, no point playing coy now. He picked up his glass and downed it in one go. Normally, a few drinks like these weren’t anything to worry about. But tonight felt... off. His head was spinning a bit. He’d been drunk before, this didn’t feel too different—just heavier somehow. Maybe the dosage Lila Glenn told that woman to use was just right—not too strong like that time he took herbal supplements at home. Probably just hadn't had a drink in a while and was feeling it harder than usual. “Well, that’s the last one for the night. I’ll leave you to it,” Lucian said as he stood, nodding to Mr. Bryant, ready to head out. But the dizziness only got worse, and he couldn’t help recalling a similar blurry night from four years ago. Lila glanced at the girl, subtly giving her a look. The girl immediately stepped forward to support Lucian.
