Chapter: 705
"Yeah, Abigail, it’s Ruby’s birthday today, and it’s not quite appropriate to bring a stranger along." Nina chimed
In.
"It’s alright. The more, the merrier," Unfazed, Ruby smiled.
"That’s right! This guy here is good at fighting. If anything happens, he can be our bodyguard." Abigail nodded repeatedly.
"What’s the point of being good at fighting? If something really happens, it’s all about connections and relationships," Mike sneered. Since Dustin stole the limelight before, he had been holding a grudge. He wanted to use Lord Horst to deal with Dustin and settle the score. Yet the man slapped him right then and there. His face was still a bit swollen.
"Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. Since everyone is here, let Ruby sing us a song." Abigail quickly changed the subject.
"It’s been so long since I’ve heard Ruby sing. Today, we’re finally in for a treat!"
"Ruby, come on stage quickly. I can’t wait any longer!"
The crowd joined in the cheer.
"Well, I’ll try my best then." Ruby nodded with a smile, then walked up to the stage and talked with the male singer. The male singer readily agreed and willingly gave up his spot.
"Oh, this young beauty is taking over the stage. Interesting."
"Hey, pretty! Sing ‘The Love of a Boatman‘ for me!"
As soon as Ruby stepped on stage, she immediately drew the attention of countless people, especially the men who had a few drinks. They became even more excited and kept cheering for Ruby.
"I’m sorry, I don’t know how to sing this song." Ruby apologized.
"The Love of a Boatman is simple. You can learn it on the spot. As long as you sing this song, I’ll reward you!" A chubby guy walked forward with a smile, holding ten roses that he had purchased. Each rose cost one hundred dollars. He had spent more than enough to request a song.
"I really don’t know how to sing this song." Ruby seemed awkward.
"I don’t care. I’ve already requested the song, and if you don’t sing, it means you’re disrespecting me." The chubby man continued with an evil grin. "Of course, if you’re willing to have a few drinks with me, we can let this matter go."
Upon hearing that, Mike immediately stood up, infuriated.
"Hey! What the fuck are you talking about?" Mike sprung up and yelled, feeling a burst of righteousness after secing the sleazy man pester Ruby. "My friend already told you she can’t sing the song! Why the hell do you keep pressing her?"
"Exactly! How can you force people to sing songs they don’t know? Aren’t you being too unreasonable?" Ninal chimed in. The others who had remained silent wore similar indignant expressions.
