Chapter 723


    With a “pop, pop“, both bottles of wine were cracked open.


    Eventually, she poured everyone in the room a ss, and one for herself too. Picking it up, she


    beamed at Kane, “Happy birthday, Kane.”


    Kane was a bit slow to react. Cicely smiled, then downed her drink.


    Afterwards, she didn’t put down her ss. Instead, she paused for a moment, then continued


    speaking to Kane, “Kane, do you need me to stay with you?”


    As soon as she said this, the room fell silent again. In the darkness, Seth’s eyes suddenly


    narrowed.


    Kane, shocked, also came back to his senses. He shot a nce at Seth in the dark corner, seeing


    that he hadn’t moved a muscle. He couldn’t guess what he was thinking.


    But at this point, Cicely sidestepped the coffee table and sat down next to Kane, pouring herself


    another ss of wine while saying, “Kane, on your birthday, you should have someone to be with


    you. Would you prefer it to be me, or should I find someone else for you?”


    Kane’s eyelid twitched, “Cicely…”


    “Kane, there’s no Cicely here, only Diamond.”


    “Diamond?” Kane was puzzled.


    “My…working name.” Cicely exined.


    The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. A chill spread from a corner, nearly freezing the


    surrounding air.


    “You’re here…” Kane asked cautiously.


    “I sell alcohol here, Kane, don’t get the wrong idea. Two bottles might not be enough, should we get


    some more?”


    Kane was now in a bind. Cicely was an old acquaintance, but the one next to him…


    Cicely grabbed Kane’s arm and continued, “Shall we open ten more bottles?”


    Her soft voice sounded in his ear, the tremor in her words was clear, even a faint breath brushed


    against his face.


    Kane’s heart raced. That voice was sincere and unpretentious, very appealing. Kane was not a


    simple man. Since his school days, he had had many women. He also had a few real girlfriends.


    When it came to women, he never thought to restrain himself.


    Cicely was beautiful, with a unique personality. Her nobility and libertine nature, along with her


    proud aura, attracted men’s attention. Back in school, she was one of the women he wanted to


    pursue. Now she was suddenly so close to him, but he didn’t feel happy at all, instead, he got


    goosebumps all over.


    Was this woman trying to kill him? If this continued, he would soon feel extreme pressure from


    those two gazes.


    His gaze once again nced at a corner, and found that Seth’s long and deep eyes had been


    revealed. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a cold chill, indifferently watching him.


    Kane felt his scalp tingle, suddenly leaning his body against the couch, distancing himself from


    Cicely.
