Chapter 462


    Just as Matthew reached out to grab the ss of alcohol, Sasha stopped him. “That’s enough! My


    husband doesn’t drink! Aren’t you forcing him into a difficult position?!”


    Dionysus leisurely replied, “There’s a first for everything. If he starts drinking now, won’t he drink again


    in the future?”


    The rest began moring noisily too. “That’s right! How could anybody not drink in our current


    society?”


    “Haha; wasn’t he bragging a lot just now? Turns out he has never had a drop of alcohol before! Tsk,


    tsk. What an embarrassment!”


    “President Cunningham, if your husband doesn’t drink, you can drink in his stead!”


    “Hahaha; what a good idea…”


    Theughter continued throughout the room; some were even openly making fun of Matthew now.


    Simrly, Demi leaned over and said, “Sasha, you should just let Matt drink. My friends have


    apologized and even drank a ss in his honor. If you refuse to ept their sincerity, it’s hard to justify


    your actions. One should always act with dignity and respect others. If you don’t respect others, how


    would others respect you in return?”


    Liam added softly, “Matt, I will be very embarrassed too if you refuse to drink. Are you trying to


    embarrass us in front of our friends?”


    Then, Sasha anxiously said, “Demi, w-why are you taking their sides and going along with them?!”


    Demi replied, “These are my friends! Of course, I’ll speak up on their behalf! Besides, there are rules


    on how people should act. How is it reasonable if you refuse to drink even though they drank in your


    honor? That’s just looking down on them!”


    Sasha was livid. These people were clearly out for Matthew’s neck. Thus, she gritted her teeth and


    said, “Forget it; Matthew, let’s go!”


    At that moment, one of the men threw a bottle of alcohol to the ground. “D*mn it. If you refuse that


    drink, I will keep you here even if I have to put my life on the line! You b*stard! We have never in our


    lives lowered our heads for anybody before! Even so, we politely drank a ss in your honor! How dare


    you refuse it? You’re tantly trying to embarrass us! F*ck; if word got out about this, I will see to it that


    you will never be able to live in Eastcliff again!”


    The rest of them followed suit, voicing out their anger. Looking at the situation, there was no way


    Matthew could get out of drinking. Therefore, Sasha was so anxious that her head was spinning in


    circles. She never imagined that they would walk into a trap bying downstairs. Still, she had never


    seen Matthew drinking before in all the years she had known him. Gritting her teeth, she prepared


    herself to drink this ss on his behalf.

    At that moment, Matthew suddenly spoke up. “Alright; I’ll drink!”


    After saying that, he picked up the ss and began drinking.


    Seeing that, she became worried. “Matthew…”


    Then, he waved her off, indicating that she had nothing to worry about.


    Everybody watched intently as Matthew downed the ss of alcohol. They were secretly feeling


    delighted that he had finally fallen into their trap. Soon, the ss was empty.


    Dionysus turned his gaze to Sasha. “President Cunningham, it’s your turn now.”


    Sasha was taken aback by those words. How can I finish such a huge ss of alcohol?


    Then, Matthew said coldly, “Leave Sasha out of this. This is men’s business; let’s settle this between


    men. You can’t justify forcing a woman to drink no matter where you are, right?”


    Still, Dionysus wanted to argue, “But, I drank such a huge cup—”


    Matthew retorted, “And I didn’t?”


    Dionysus whined, “But, I toasted both of you!”


    Matthew said, “Toasting one ss to two people. What sort of logic is that?”


    For a moment, Dionysus was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and


    said, “Fine! Then, allow me to drink to President Cunningham!”


    Matthew snapped, “No need! If you want to drink, we’ll continue drinking. But, what I said still stands!


    You can’t force a woman to drink!”


    ncing at Matthew, Dionysus gnashed his teeth in anger. “Fine! Let’s drink! We’ll drink to our hearts’


    content!”


    He had no intention of giving up on Sasha. Rather, he decided to drink Matthew under the table first


    before moving on to her. Once Matthew was out of the picture, it would be a piece of cake to deal with


    her.


    On the other hand, Sasha looked very worried. Tugging at Matthew’s clothes, she whispered, “D-Don’t


    force yourself…”


    Matthew smiled slightly. “It’s no big deal. Don’t worry.”


    Looking at his expression, an inexplicable sense of security welled up in her heart.


    Afterward, Dionysus brought out another bottle of alcohol. Then, he split it into two and gave one share


    to Matthew. “Come! Let’s drink!”


    Upon seeing that, Sasha became frightened and anxiously said, “Why… Why are you drinking so


    much? Even if the two of you were to drink, can’t you drink from smaller cups?”


    Dionysus sneered, “We’re men; why would we use tiny cups?! We should eat heartily and guzzle down


    our alcohol! That’s how men should be! Using tiny cups is something only a good-for-nothing would


    do!”


    Then, everybody burst intoughter—those words were undoubtedly a tant insult to Matthew.
