Ethan was about to retaliate but was held back by Zachary. “Aren’t you embarrassed enough?”
Ethan gritted his teeth and looked at Zachary. “It was an accident. My hand slipped. It was her fault that she stepped in.”
Zachary glared at Ethan fiercely, warning him to keep his mouth shut. Then, he looked at Justin indifferently.
He glanced at Grace and then looked at Justin. He said calmly, “Bring her upstairs to clean up.” Justin glanced at Zachary and nodded slightly. Then, he held Grace’s hand and turned to leave. Zachary glanced at Ethan and warned him in a low voice, “I’ll settle the score with you later!”
Zachary then turned to address the crowd. “I’m sorry, everyone. That was an embarrassing display on my part. Come, come, come. Let me toast everyone as an apology for interrupting the good time you were having. Everyone, continue to have fun!”
The crowd dispersed. Ethan gritted his teeth and walked toward the washroom.
Brian’s eyes darkened. He stood up and strode away.
When Ava saw Brian walk into the crowd, she hurriedly stood up. However, in the blink of an eye, she had lost sight of Brian.
Ava was anxious.
This wouldn’t do! He had drunk the spiked alcohol! What if he slept with another woman? Could it be that he went to look for Grace?’ Ava thought.
Ava glanced briefly at the second floor before making her way upstairs to look for Brian.
Brian was not looking for Grace. Instead, he had followed Ethan to the toilet.
Ethan came out of the cubicle after using the toilet with a cigarette in his mouth. He had bent his back and was about to zip up his pants when the contents of a wine glass were emptied on his face. Ethan shut his eyes tightly and spat out the cigarette in his mouth. “Who the fuck are you? How dare you throw wine at me?”
Ethan opened his eyes and met Brian’s fierce black eyes. Brian’s eyes exuded a sense of authority. There was no doubt that Ethan knew Brian. The Francis family had a significant influence in the business world. Offending Brian was the last thing that Ethan wanted to do.
No matter how arrogant Ethan usually was, the most he dared to do was wipe off the wine on his face. “Mr. Francis, what is the meaning of this?”

“My hand slipped,” Brian said nonchalantly.
Ethan took a deep breath. Who was he kidding? It was clearly done on purpose!’ he thought.
Then, Ethan remembered what had happened in the hall just now. He had said the same thing back then. It seemed that Brian was avenging that woman!
Ethan didn’t dare to fall out with Brian. He could only smile hypocritically. “The should I take Mr. Francis to see a doctor? I happen to know a doctor in the Vance family. Why don’t I take you to see him?”
Brian sneered. “I’m sorry. I’m not interested in the matters of the Vance family.”
After saying that, Brian threw the empty cup on the floor beside Ethan.
Ethan’s b*dy subconsciously trembled. After Brian left, he kicked away the broken glass by his feet.
In the suite on the third floor.
Justin handed the towel to Grace as he nagged, “You should not have stood in front of me, you know? I am a man. It wouldn’t matter if I were splashed!”
“I didn’t want you to look like a mess at your father’s birthday celebration. I’m sure you would not want that either.”
Justin’s heart softened as he pulled Grace into his arms. Grace struggled against it, but he hugged her even tighter.
“Grace, thank you, but I really don’t care about that. If I had a choice, I would rather not be a member of the Vance family.
Justin knew that Grace was uncomfortable with being hugged by Justin, so the two only shared a brief hug before Justin let her go. “Go take a shower. You can wear the bathrobe first. I’ll go out and buy you a set of clean clothes.”
“Okay.”
Ava did not find Brian upstairs. Instead, she saw Justin and Grace enter a suite.
