Chapter 1118
Preston pretended to be there for the meal, pulled out a chair next to Griffon, and sat down as if
nothing had happened.
When asked, Stella snapped out of it and glanced at Preston, then at Harper and Jayden.
Finally, she withdrew her gaze, got up with a stiff upper lip, went to the kitchen to get a set of utensils,
and placed them in front of Preston’s dining table…
They served steak, which Preston was very skilled at. He picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of
steak, and put it in his mouth.
As he ate his food, he couldn’t help but look up at the people at the table. Seeing everyone staring at
him, he lifted his chin.

When Preston said this, he didn’t dare to look at Griffon beside him, for fear of being kicked out by him.
Griffon, who felt shameful, did indeed raise his finger and wanted the bodyguard to kick Preston out…
But at this moment, Jayden held up a bottle of red wine and poured it into Preston’s wine glass
“Preston, originally, Henry just invited a few friends to get together. Since you’ve come uninvited, let’s
have a drink together, shall we?”
This statement clearly had a provocative meaning
It was the first time Griffon see Preston was being provoked by a love rival, he found it quite interesting
and withdrew his fingers.
“Dr. Sherwood, are you sure you want to drink with me?”
Preston, leaning back in his dining chair, raised his chin slightly, looked at Griffon with disdain in his
eyes.
After pouring the wine, Griffon put down the bottle, raised a harmless smile, and pursed his lips in a
smile.
“Are you afraid to drink?”
“Am I afraid?”
Preston sneered, having spent years frequenting entertainment venues and earning the nickname of
“never getting drunk after a thousand cups.” Was Jayden trying to kill himself or simply shameless by
challenging him to a drinking contest?
“If you dare, then finish this drink.”
Jayden’s words confirmed his provocation.
Preston’s expression shifted from carefree to angry in an instant.

Seeing Preston losing his temper, a smile appeared on Jayden’s face.
“It’s just a drink, don’t get so worked up.”
Jayden added another remark
“If you need a reason, let’s make it for what happened last time and put an end to it.”
“What happened last time and put an end to it?”
It was obvious that Jayden was mocking Preston for submitting to him over a woman.
Preston could no longer hold back his anger and stood up, ready to throw a punch. However, the man
next to him spoke up at that
moment.

Indeed, if Griffon hadn’t reminded him, Preston’s temper would have led him to roll up his sleeves and
fight Jayden, which would have been embarrassing for everyone.
Realizing this, Preston suppressed his anger and sat back down. When he looked up again, his eyes
revealed a hint of restraint.
