Chapter 823
When the guest toasted, Ken Swanson could not refuse and could only pour himself another glass.
However, after drinking this cup, Quentin Parker found another reason.
“Since Mr. Swanson is so forthright, I’ll toast you again. By the way, I wish you a happy marriage with Melody.”
These words forced Ken Swanson to pour another glass. Moreover, he was willing to pour another glass.
Melody was a little anxious. She was afraid that Ken Swanson would get drunk. She was also afraid that Quentin Parker would get drunk.
Especially Quentin Parker. He was already so old. It was really torturous for his body to drink so much.
However, from the corner of her eye, she saw Colin Herbert shaking his head at her. It was obvious that he was signaling her not to get involved.
She had no choice. On one side was her husband, and on the other was her master. All she could do was stand there and worry.
Towards the end, Quentin Parker didn’t even bother to find a reason and directly poured wine for Ken Swanson.
However, James Deeds could not take it anymore. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Quentin Parker. “Sir, our young master still has work to deal with when he goes back later. He can’t drink too much. How about this? I’ll drink with you!”
Quentin Parker did not even look at James Deeds. He directly raised his glass to Ken Swanson across James Deeds. “I’ll drink to that first!”
“You…-“
James Deeds could not help but want to curse. However, he was so frightened by Ken Swanson’s gaze that he did not dare to speak.
“Doctor Mu is magnanimous.”
Ken Swanson raised his glass to Quentin Parker and downed it again.
Melody was even more worried. Colin Herbert pulled her over and said with a smile, “Melody, let the two of them drink. Let’s go to another table.”
Beverly Herbert also smiled and said, “Melody, I have hawthorn juice here. You can use this instead of wine. Let’s go.
Left with no choice, Melody could only go to another table to toast.
After leaving the table, Colin Herbert immediately reminded her in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Doctor Mu definitely knows what to do.”
Melody nodded and tried her best to smile as she continued to toast.
With this, she raised her glass to Ken Swanson again.
After drinking seven or eight glasses in a row, Quentin Parker started to feel a little tipsy.
However, he did not panic at all. When no one was paying attention, he quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on his body. The dizziness quickly dissipated.
When his vision cleared again, he raised his glass again.-
It was obvious that he wanted to get Ken Swanson drunk.
And there was only one goal. He wanted to see what Ken Swanson’s alcohol was like.
His disciple could not marry someone who would go crazy from drinking and hit and scold his wife at every turn.
Therefore, the wine tasting stage was also very important.
However, Quentin Parker did not expect that Ken Swanson’s alcohol tolerance was simply a mystery!
He had already pressed the acupuncture point for the third time. That guy’s face was only a little red, but his eyes were still clear.
It was almost ten o’clock at night, and the banquet was about to end. Quentin Parker still hadn’t achieved his goal of getting Ken Swanson drunk.
‘Damn it… This kid… How many stomachs does he have? His stomach looks so flat. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be able to hold much wine…’
Quentin Parker took a deep breath. As a doctor, he knew very well that his body could not continue drinking. If he continued drinking, it was another matter if he could get Ken Swanson drunk. When he woke up tomorrow, his head would hurt so much that it would feel like it would split open.
Therefore, he could only give up.
Although he couldn’t tell what alcohol it was, it was impossible for this kid to hit his wife after getting drunk if he wasn’t drunk.
This kid had barely passed this stage!
Quentin Parker put down his glass and said in a depressed tone, “We’ve had enough drink today. Since Mr. Swanson still has work to deal with later, let’s stop here!”
Ken Swanson smiled and put down his glass.
“Then I’ll treat Doctor Mu to a drink another day. The two of us can have another round.”
‘Then don’t.’
Quentin Parker thought so in his heart, but he agreed to it.
“It’s a deal.”
Ken Swanson nodded slightly at Quentin Parker and looked up to find Melody.
She was talking to David Marrow and Nana Jensen.
No one knew what she said, but it made Nana Jensen lower her head with a red face. Even David Marrow’s ears were red.
“Doctor Mu, please excuse me.”
Ken Swanson cupped his fists at Quentin Parker. He then led James Deeds toward Melody.
James Deeds was about to tell Ken Swanson about the information he had found about Doctor Mu when he felt a weight on his left hand.
He looked down and saw Ken Swanson pulling his hand hard.
Although James Deeds often lacked a nerve, he had followed Ken Swanson for so many years after all. He immediately understood that Ken Swanson had drunk too much and needed to borrow his strength to walk steadily.
James Deeds wanted to beat Doctor Mu up immediately, but he could only cover up for Ken Swanson who was drunk. He cleverly said, “Young Master, don’t be in a hurry to look for Miss Fox. I just received an email. It’s an important contract. I need you to review it now.”
Ken Swanson nodded lightly. “The tablet is in the car. Let’s go take a look in the car.”
“Yes.”
The two of them walked all the way to the elevator. Only then did a trace of discomfort appear on Ken Swanson’s calm face.
James Deeds quickly reminded him, “Young Master, there’s a washroom on the first floor.”
“Mm. Lead the way.”
After entering the bathroom, James Deeds stood guard outside the door, but he could vaguely hear the sound of retching.
What a sin! Damn Doctor Mu!
How long had it been since Young Master drank to this extent?
Even the chairman would not force him to drink!
Who the hell was that Doctor Mu!
After listening for a moment, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He directly called out the bodyguards guarding in the dark and asked them to close the door to prevent anyone from approaching. He then brought Aaron Berg upstairs.
Aaron Berg did not understand.
“Brother James, are we going to find Miss Fox?”
“Why are you looking for Miss Fox! Young Master will naturally look for Miss Fox.”
“So we … ?”
Before Aaron Berg could ask, the elevator door had already opened. Aaron Berg could only keep quiet and follow closely behind James Deeds.
After entering the hall, Aaron Berg saw James Deeds’s dark face suddenly change into a bright smile.
Aaron Berg immediately guessed something.
He was going to cause trouble for someone, but this person could not cause trouble in person. He could only do it in private.
As expected, James Deeds walked directly to Doctor Mu, who was massaging his temples.
“Doctor Mu.”
James Deeds bowed slightly and said politely, “Young Master said that he feels that you hit it off very well with him. He has a few words to say to you.”
Quentin Parker raised his eyebrows.
He was worried that he would not be able to find an opportunity to understand Ken Swanson more, but in the end, an opportunity came knocking on his door.
“Alright, where is he? I want to chat with him too.”
“At the hotel entrance.”
When Quentin heard this, he stood up and walked out.
James Deeds followed behind.
The banquet was coming to an end. Other than Herbathrive’s staff, many people stood up to bid farewell to Colin Herbert and the others.
As a result, the hall was crowded with people, and no one paid attention to them..
James Deeds glanced at Melody from the corner of his eye and saw that Melody was talking to Nickolas Chapman and not paying attention to him. He quickened his pace to keep up with Quentin Parker.
