Chapter 33 You Two, Who Is Going Down?
The door opened at some point, and Mr. John saw Stan standing at the entrance.
The man’s black shirt and black pants almost blended with the light. He had a tall figure that gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
Why did Stan come here?
With Elsa’s earlier words in mind, Mr. John was shocked, and his grip loosened. “Mr. Stan, why are you here?”
Stan didn’t respond. Instead, he located the light control. panel on the wall and pressed it.
The dimly lit room was instantly brighter, with people and furnishings in full view.
Stan looked at Elsa sitting on the floor, her wet hair clinging to her trembling shoulders. Her face was pale, and she was coughing violently, in a terrible state.
Stan remained silent, and his cold presence sent shivers down Mr. John’s spine. He tried to greet him, “Mr. Stan, I apologize. for this spectacle. This woman was spouting lies, claiming to have been in another room talking to you. You can’t know her…”
Stan interrupted Mr. John, his voice low and indifferent. “She was indeed with me in another room, and it was Mr. Phil who
invited her.”

Mr. John’s smile froze on his face, leaving him at a loss for words.
Stan walked over and helped Elsa up.
Elsa still felt dizzy from being submerged in the ice bucket for nearly a minute. She leaned against Stan’s chest for support.
Sensing her coldness, Stan furrowed his brow and turned his head to Mr. John. “I am not acquainted with Anchor Elsa, but Laurier Group is in the process of acquiring Hill TV Station. I believe Mr. John must have heard about it. Is this how your treat someone from Laurier Group?”
“I don’t dare!” Mr. John’s back went cold, and he became visibly anxious, with sweat forming on his forehead. “It was Elsa who insulted me first, and I couldn’t control my anger, so I reacted.”
Ashley also approached, adopting a gentle tone. “Yes, Stan. We all witnessed it. Elsa was the one who started cursing.”
Stan looked at her, and his gaze turned icy. “Who are you?”
“I’m Erin’s relative,” Ashley smiled softly. “And since you’re Erin’s relative, according to it, I should address you properly.”
“Erin is your relative, but what does that have to do with me?” Stan asked in return, showing no intention of acknowledging her.
Ashley felt embarrassed for making such a scene in front of
everyone.
She clenched her hand tightly and reluctantly smiled at Stan. “I am sorry for overstepping. But Mr. Stan, it was indeed Elsal

who was wrong to scold Mr. John first. You shouldn’t protect her just because the television station is being acquired by the Laurier Family.”
“Well, it’s also my fault. I shouldn’t have laid a hand on Anchor Elsa,” Mr. John quickly interjected, pouring a drink and offering it to Stan. “Mr. Stan, this drink is my apology…”
Stan didn’t accept the drink. He looked at the others in the private room and said, “Tell me, what is the truth?”
The people glanced at Mr. John and then at Stan, holding Elsa in his arms. It was obvious that he was protecting Elsa, and they were only business partners with Mr. John, not deep friends.
It was not worth it to offend Stan for Mr. John.
After a few minutes of silence, someone finally spoke up. And told Stan that Elsa was brought in by Ashley and told him everything.
Ashley was furious, and she didn’t expect these people to turn against her so fiercely.
“I didn’t know Elsa was with you,” Ashley stammered, afraid. “I just brought her in to have some fun.”
Mr. John kept his head lowered, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Not long after, two waiters entered the room carrying a large bucket filled with ice cubes. A long way away, the crowd could feel the coolness emanating from the ice.
Stan glanced at Mr. John and said, “You two, who is going

down?”

Only now that Ashley understood why Stan had someone send ice in. Fear flashed in her eyes as she stepped back.
The large bucket of ice also made Mr. John’s entire body tense up, and he gritted his teeth. Forcefully grabbed Ashley and shoved her into the ice bucket. While Ashley was about to scream, he whispered in her ear, “4241400 dollars!”
It was 4241400 dollars!
Ashley stopped her scream, allowing Mr. John to press her into the ice bucket. She clenched her teeth and endured the icy cold.
Stan held Elsa and coldly observed from the side.
Not even a minute later, Ashley was trembling in the ice bucket. Her face turned pale, her lips turned blue, and her eyes rolled back as she fainted.
Mr. John quickly pulled her out of the ice bucket, realizing that Ashley’s body had stiffened. He wrapped her in a towel and called for a doctor.
Stan glanced and left, holding Elsa.
Finally, this farce came to an end.
Phil was still in Room 88 with Manager Han and a few others.
After receiving a WhatsApp message from Stan, he stood up from the couch and stretched, “Mr. Stan has already left, so there’s no need to wait any longer. Let’s go back.”
Manager Han saw that Elsa hadn’t returned either and asked

tentatively, “Did Mr. Stan leave with Ms. Elsa?”

“It doesn’t matter who she left with. The important thing is that Ms. Elsa had half a bottle of white wine,” Phil patted Manager Han’s shoulder and smiled discreetly. “Manager Han, don’t forget what you said.”
“That’s for sure, I will call Ms. Elsa tomorrow.” Manager Han’s body shivered at the thought of the glass of white wine with cigarette ash.
Even if he didn’t give Elsa a face, he couldn’t offend Stan.
Phil put his coat over his shoulders and walked to the table where Cherry and others were engrossed in playing poker cards. And there were empty white wine glasses on the small table next to them.
“Let you play poker cards, why are you drinking?”
Cherry took a glance at Phil, her cheeks slightly flushed. “They said it’s not fun to lose money, so they drink when losing…”
She let out a hiccup after speaking.
Unlike Elsa’s seductive charm, Cherry’s natural beauty with delicate and captivating features. She looked like a gift from heaven.
She had a slender figure. Because she wore short sleeves, her slim and fair waist was occasionally revealed when lifting her hands. She exuded an innocent allure all over her body.
Noticing that Elsa wasn’t with Phil, Cherry curiously asked, “Hey, where’s Elsa?”
“She left a long time ago.” Phil pinched her cheek playfully.
“With your skills, I’m afraid you’d be the one getting
kidnapped while trying to protect Elsa!”
As the dealer threw the dice, Phil knew he couldn’t leave. Hel pulled Cherry aside and took her seat. Casually tossing his coat onto her lap. “Hold onto my coat for me.”
Cherry nodded and obediently sat there, holding the coat, occasionally glancing at the man.

The female staff there were all trained and skilled in card games. And Phil was usually good at cards, was also defeated by them and ended up losing terribly.
After drinking six glasses of white wine and emptying the drawer, Phil finally left with Cherry.
He was feeling dizzy from the alcohol, and as they left the club, he leaned on Cherry’s shoulder for support and said, “You should stop playing poker cards in the future. Even a dog has better card skills than you.”
“Are you in any position to criticize me? You lost too,” Cherry retorted, her body tense as he leaned on her. “You couldn’t even beat three women.”
Phil was angry and pinched her cheek again.
Once they got in the car, Cherry immediately pushed him.
away.
However, Phil pulled her back and said, “I feel unwell. Let me lean on you for a while. When we arrive, you can get off by yourself.”
