Making a Comeback

Chapter 21 Pay if You Want to Leave

"Oh? The hottest girl in our university is finally back. Why were you taking so long in the bathroom? You didn't drink even a lot tonight." Ashley laughed while signaling her friend to press Yasmine back on the couch.

Then she took a bottle of Chivas. "Yasmine, do you know how much this costs?"

Yasmine frowned and took a glance before shaking her head.

"Ashley, she's poor. How would she know? I bet she's never even seen such good whisky!"

"Yeah! Yasmine should be grateful to you. If not, she might not have been able to join such an extravagant night out."

Ashley enjoyed everyone's praise while she opened the bottle. "You guys shouldn't say that. Yasmine drank Manny Conti the other night. Although this can't be compared, it's still a good drink. So? Do you want to have a taste?"

"Sorry, but I'm not interested." Yasmine got up, wanting to leave.

Unfortunately, one of the guys stopped her. "Yasmine, do you know how much money Ms. Rich spent to organize this party? Let's not count the other expenses. Just tonight's reservation fee cost 200 thousand dollars!"

"We haven't included the drinks and food. I bet it'll all total up to more than 100 thousand dollars. Don't you think it's disrespectful to leave as you wish?"

Ashley smiled while playing with her nails. Then she said, "It's not a big deal. We're all having fun, so we don't need to care about the money. But now you're not letting us enjoy ourselves. Fine. You don't need to pay the reservation fee. You can just pay the bill. What do you think?"

With a snap of her fingers, she called over the waiter. While looking at Yasmine's angry face, she called for a set of expensive whisky and a bottle of Leffe. On top of that, she also ordered some expensive beer that cost 200 dollars per can.

"Oh! Ms. Rich is really generous. This whisky costs around 100 thousand dollars, right? The total should be close to 300 thousand if we add it to the previous tab. I don't think Yasmine can afford to pay, even if she sells herself. Hahaha!"

Once again, squeals of laughter burst out in the group. Then Ashley made a gesture, saying, "Well, Yasmine, since you're the prettiest girl at school, you can just pay 250 thousand dollars."

Yasmine bit her lips, feeling a burn on her cheeks as her dignity was crushed.

Ashley was even more pumped by her reaction and wanted to show off more. "What's the matter? Don't you have the money? If you don't, then shut up and drink! You have to fucking finish all the drinks I've ordered today! Don't leave a single drop! I'll take responsibility for you if something happens. I'll even take you to the hospital to get your stomach pumped if need be!"

The crowd gasped, and many looked at each other, wondering if Ashley had gone a bit overboard on this. It wasn't possible to finish all the drinks. Even if Yasmine managed to do it, she'd have to go through several gastric lavages to get the heavy dose of alcohol out. Honestly, it might even risk her life.

Soon, Ashley's best friends nudged her shoulder and persuaded her, "Ashely, why don't we stop here? There are so many drinks. She might die from overdrinking. By the time—"

Ashley rolled her eyes. "What's there to be afraid of? Don't worry. I know my limits. All you guys have to do is make her drink. Anyone who makes her drink will get two thousand dollars as a reward."

Instantly, many people's eyes lit up, as most of the people here weren't rich. Two thousand dollars was enough for a university student to survive for a month.

"Fuck! I'll do it!"

"How dare you disrespect Ms. Rich? I'll teach you a lesson!"

The two guys who'd stopped Yasmine from leaving spoke up. One opened the beer while the other grabbed her mouth and poured the alcohol into it.

Yasmine shook her head crazily and struggled hard. Soon, her face, hair, neck, and clothes were drenched with beer. She'd been forced to drink quite a lot of alcohol.

"Let me do it!"

"I've hated her for a long time. She's really a poor bitch. Let me give her a bottle!"

More and more people joined in while Ashley recorded the scene on the side with a twisted expression. "This is what you get for going against me. How dare you steal my throne as the most popular girl? Poor bitch! You're destined to be played by a rich girl like me. I'll make sure you suffer tonight. You're more like a joke than the campus belle!"

"I—I don't want to drink anymore! Let go of me! Let go! Let—" Yasmine struggled with all her might.

Finally, Tyrone entered the bar and saw Yasmine being bullied. He was infuriated to see what was happening. Even if the person being bullied hadn't been his sister-in-law, he wouldn't have just stood aside and let this happen.

Although he'd seen bullies, he'd never met bullies who were this mean. How could they do that to a girl?

"Stop!" Tyrone shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention and making them stop in their tracks. However, no one recognized him.

"Who are you? Why are you so snobby? Are you crazy?"

"He must be interested in this bitch's beauty. So he's trying to act like a knight in shining armor for the damsel in distress. I've seen many guys like you!"

"Ah! I recognize him. Aren't you Yasmine's useless brother-in-law? I heard you live with the Vaughn family. You really are useless. Even if you wanted to live off a woman's family, you should find someone who's rich."

"Tyrone!" Yasmine yelled as she pushed through the crowd and staggered over to Tyrone.

Noticing how drunk she was, Tyrone quickly went to catch her. The longer he stayed here, the angrier he got. Fortunately, he'd come as soon as he could. If he'd been even a second late, Yasmine might have overdosed on alcohol.

"Oh? I was wondering who it could be. It turned out to be useless trash. So you want to take your sister-in-law away?"

Tyrone's expression was dark as he looked at Ashley, but he remained silent.

"Okay! Fine!" Ashley snapped her fingers.

After that, she got up, saying, "Then pay for all the drinks. The total is 250 thousand dollars. You can leave after that. But if you can't pay the bill and want me to pay, you'll have to play by my rules."

She pointed at the various drinks on the table. "If you want to leave, you must finish all the drinks here! Otherwise, neither of you are allowed to go. Guards!"

Once Ashley made the order, a dozen of the Rich family's bodyguards rushed to them and surrounded Yasmine and Tyrone. All of the other students were shocked by the scene. It seemed like Ashley had brought all her bodyguards here today.

Ashley was truly a scheming person.

With a sneer, Ashley looked at Tyrone's grim expression in delight. She'd expected Yasmine to call him for help and had given her the opportunity to do so because she'd also wanted to teach Tyrone a lesson.

"Tyrone Hendrick, weren't you good at fighting? Come on. Try it again. You might defeat two people or even four, but I doubt you'll handle 14 people! Also, this property doesn't belong to the Bennets', so no one will come and save you."

Yasmine shuddered upon hearing what Ashley said and subconsciously took Tyrone's arm. "Tyrone, what do we do now? Why don't we call the cops?"

"There's no need for that."

Tyrone stretched his neck and was about to teach these people a lesson. Coincidentally, he got a call from Cole just then. The purpose of the call was simple—he'd completed all the tasks Tyrone had given him.

Now, the Rich family was bankrupt. As for Jenkin Group, it had been revealed that many of the housing units they'd sold had major issues, and they were being sued by numerous clients. It was only a matter of time before the Jenkin father-son duo were thrown into prison!

"Well, this makes things much easier," Tyrone muttered to himself before calling over the boss, who'd been watching the show.

"What's the matter? I only have one thing to say: Whoever settles the bill has the upper hand here," the boss said flatteringly as he winked at Ashley.

"I get it; you're a businessman. I know your rules. Why don't we do this? I'll pay for all the expenses today."

"You're going to pay? Hah! You're just a useless bastard who leeches off his wife. You'd probably have to sell your kidney to settle the bill."

Tyrone ignored Ashley and gave the boss his black card. Tentatively, the boss swiped it. The transaction was successful.

As everyone watched on in bewilderment, Tyrone gestured for the boss, asking him to move his ear closer. Then he stared at Ahsley while whispering in the boss' ear.

Instantly, the boss' expression changed. He narrowed his eyes, looking at Ashley viciously. Finally, he sneered, "Someone, please have Ms. Rich pay 200 thousand dollars for the reservation fee."

Noticing the weird way the boss was looking at her, Ashley raised her eyebrows. "What are you looking at? You're in the bar business, so you should've heard about how famous the Rich family is, right? I'm the second daughter of the Riches. My dad gave me three credit cards, each with a limit of millions of dollars! Do you think I'll be short on money?"
