I laughed bitterly. This time, I was completely heartbroken. “So, you are indeed an ungrateful human.”
I glared at him fiercely. “I should have watched you die back then. Even if it meant saving a beggar, I would never save you again!”
Elwood grew impatient. “Are you all dead? We agreed to drink, so why is her mouth. still so idle?” ·
His group of friends immediately got excited. “Yeah, stop talking! Guys, get her drunk!”
“They say girls look particularly charming when drunk, so let’s see what Elysia looks like when she’s drunk today.”
They opened a bottle of wine and pried my mouth open to force it down. I instinctively backed away in fear.

“I don’t drink! Let go of me!”
Elwood coldly stared at me the whole time.
I struggled desperately, trying to grab onto a lifeline, but only managed to touch Elwood’s sleeve.
“Elwood, we’ve already broken up. I won’t bother you, just let them leave me alone! You know I’m… allergic to alcohol…”
But in the next second, Elwood sneered and held my head. “It’s just a bottle of alcohol, it won’t kill you, why so dramatic!”
With his restraint, the men behind me pried my mouth open and forced the cold liquid in.
My throat burned painfully from the heat
and I almost choked to death on the
alcohol.
I remembered how Elwood used to know

never let me touch a drop. But now…
He watched indifferently as they forced me to drink.
I choked violently on the alcohol, my throat filled with the taste of blood.
The liquor spilled onto my hair and I stared at them fiercely. “I am the fiancée of Garrick Sterling, the prince of the Rowan circle. If you dare touch me again… you’ll regret it. I’m allergic to alcohol, take me to the hospital!”
They were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. “Who would have thought, Elysia is not only promiscuous but also a liar, even dragging the prince of the Rowan circle into this!”
“Do you know who the crown prince of the Rowan elite circle is? It’s Garrick Sterling!”
“Two–thirds of the industries in Everhart City belong to the Sterling family. Even wealthy heiresses wouldn’t dare dream of marrying him, yet you, a penniless nobody,

dare to entertain such fantasies?”
None of them believed me.
I wanted to say something, but my whole body started feeling uncomfortable. Small red rashes began appearing on my arm and I felt dizzy.
Amid their mocking laughter, the door to the private room was pushed open. A girl in a red gown stepped in, heels clicking against the floor.
“What’s going on here, Elwood? What are you all up to?”
Elwood smiled and reached out to hold her.
“Amara, you’re here. This is Elysia. My friends and I were just having drinks with her.”
So it was Amara..
She glanced at me in surprise but then smiled warmly, her expression full of

and me. I also respect your devotion, but that’s all in the past. Now, Elwood and 1 are engaged, so please leave him alone.”
I raised the corner of my lips and forced out a cold smile. Did she think I was still tangled up with Elwood?
I had already abandoned a worthless man like him long ago.
I endured the discomfort throughout my body, speaking each word clearly, “They were the ones who forcibly dragged me in here. I came to this party to find my fiancé. His name is Garrick. Let me go, or you’ll all suffer when he can’t find me later.”
As soon as my words fell….
