Chapter 1195
“Isn’t that Nancy? The one-time top jewelry designer for the Thomas Group?”
“Top designer? I read that she was outclassed by Millie. Millie’s the top designer now, with her famous Sky Heart.”
Upon hearing the crowd’s contempt, Nancy’s eyes narrowed in fury at Rhea. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“You’re drunk,” she declared before storming back to their private room, visibly upset.
Eventually, their night of drinking came to an end, and as they passed the bar counter on their way out, Rhea and her companion were still there.
Nancy pointedly remarked, “Is that Rhea over there? Why is she so close with that man?”
Darin immediately looked in the direction Nancy indicated, his face turning red with anger. Rhea was not just embracing the man; she was straddling him and kissing him audaciously.
Darin’s assistant, who was pushing his wheelchair, seemed at a loss for words.
“Mr. Barker, I…”
Cutting him off, Nancy interjected, “That man is known around these parts as a club’s toy boy. What’s Rhea doing with someone Like that?”
Darin’s assistant looked at Nancy and said, “Please, Nancy, enough.”
The implication, that Rhea preferred a toy boy to Darin, embarrassed Humphrey .

He quickly grabbed Nancy’s hand.
“We have other things to attend to. Let’s go.”
Humphrey clasped Nancy’s hand and they left together. Darin’s grip on the wheelchair tightened. His assistant spoke cautiously.
“Mr. Barker, the world is full of remarkable women. Forget about her.
She’s not worth your time.”
The awkwardness of the situation was palpable, enough so that even the assistant felt sympathetic for Darin.
For a full minute, Darin observed Rhea and her companion, his eyes seething with anger.
“Let’s go.”
Relieved, his assistant quickly wheeled Darin out of the room.
Meanwhile, at the bar counter, Rhea pulled away from her companion and rubbed her forehead. Alcohol had given her a headache.
A glance across the room made her shiver. She thought she’d seen Shera. How could that be?
Shera was supposed to be struggling for her life in some basement abroad.
