Chapter 74
William looked over at Jacob and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
“Come on,” said William.
Eloise sat beside William and refilled his glass while Xavier did the same for Jacob,
They took turns drinking and finished a whole bottle of whiskey very quickly.
Eloise remembered William saying that he didn’t like alcohol, so he probably had a low alcohol tolerance. She started getting worried.
“I think you should stop drinking,” she whispered.
William put his empty glass onto the table and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll get him shitfaced tonight!!
“We’ll see who goes down first!” shouted Jacob. He was furious to see them whispering
They opened a bottle of beer each and downed it in a flash. Jacob had started teetering in his chair.
“Pour me another glass! Nowel” demanded Jacob,
Xavier steadied him and said, “Why don’t we stop here?”
“Get off me!” said Jacob and shoved Xavier aside. He pointed at Eloise and commanded, “Come here!”
Eloise looked at him disgustedly.
“Stop fucking throwing yourself at other guys. You’re mine!” shouted Jacob.
All of a sudden, William picked up his glass and hurled it at Jacob. The glass did not hit him, but it brushed against his cheek and shattered against the wall behind him.
Jacob and the others were taken aback.
“What are you doing, William?” Jack asked with a frown.
William kicked the chair beside him and spat, “I don’t like what he said!”
Jack glanced at Eloise. He couldn’t refute Williamn because Jacob had indeed insulted Eloise many times that night.
William opened a bottle of whiskey and raised it toward Jacob, “Let’s drink straight from the bottle if you have the balls!”
Jacob’s eyes were already bloodshot. He wanted to stand up steadily, but his knees buckled, and he only got to his feet after two tries.
He grabbed a nearby bottle and brought it to his lips. Xavier and Jack tried to dissuade him, but he pushed them away.
William and Jacob started chugging straight from the bottle. However, not everyone could drink whiskey neat like that, and they had already had a lot to
drink
Soon, Jacob started vomiting and collapsed onto the chair. William continued drinking, but with pauses in between.
Finally, he finished the entire bottle and hurled the bottle to the flour.
“Is that all you’ve got, Jacob?” mocked William.
“Don’t tease me… I haven’t lost,” muttered Jacob. He was drunk
William snorted and pulled Eloise to him. They headed out of the room together, but Jacob suddenly launched himself at Eloise when they walked past.
William immediately shielded Eloise behind him and pushed Jacob away.
Jacob fell to his knees and accidentally pulled the tablecloth as he did so. All the food and drinks on the table toppled onto him.
The smell of booze and food mixed together was terrible, and Jacob looked like he had fallen into a dumpster.
Eloise couldn’t help but feel stunned to see him in such a pathetic state. Jacob had curled himself up on the floor and started crying.
“Eloise, take me home,” whined Jacob.
Eloise had never seen him like that in the eight years they had been dating. It seemed like William really traumatized him, and she was even starting to get curious as to why William had beaten him up the last time.
“Eloise! Eloise Jacobs called out.
He kept calling out her name as if she was the only person who could help him regain his dignity.
