Chapter 337 You Ask for It!

Daisy looked into Nikki's big eyes and pursed her lips.

"I've never played this."

Due to her family, she had been over-mature since her childhood. Ever since she found out that her father had cheated on her mother, she had sealed all the dolls for little girls into cardboard boxes.

In order to comfort her mother, she forced herself to grow up. Her childhood memories were dim, and naturally, she did not care about such games.

But Ann put the rest of the game coins into her hands. "You should try something that you haven't tried before. Maybe you will succeed! Come on, I believe you. I heard that newbies are always lucky!"

"Good luck, Daisy!" Nikki encouraged her.

For her Pikachu!

Daisy could only grit her teeth and throw the coins under their expectant stares.

She was smart, and after watching for so long, she played a few times and knew the rules better.

In addition to luck, these claw machines were also about skills. For example, some claw machine owners would set the probability of winning such as one in fifty, and some machines were about the time.

Ann held Nikki in her arms. They stared at Daisy, who threw the last coin in her hand, controlled the claws, and pressed the button. They held their breaths and waited.

There were also many young couples around. Under their stares, the large Pikachu that had been hanging in the machine for a long time finally landed.

Someone nearby whispered in admiration, "Cool!" And Nikki clapped her little hands in excitement.

"Good job, Daisy!"

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, Daisy's cold eyes were also stained with a smile. She reached out and handed the Pikachu to Nikki.

Ann looked at Nikki, who was cuddling the Pikachu that was even bigger than Nikki. Ann was so happy that she kept rubbing her face against Nikki's. She smiled and turned to look at Daisy.

"You see? Although you have never played this before, you soon succeeded. You have to give it a try before you know the results."

She was talking about the claw machine, but when Daisy heard this, her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she pondered. But her eyes became clearer, and her red lips curved into a faint smile.

"I guess you're right."

When they were about to go back, Ann suddenly received a call from Aydan.

"Ann, are you free now? Phillip is drunk, and I have something else to do now. Can you come and pick up Phillip?"

"Where are you now?"

"Well... the Royal Hotel."

It was not far from here.

Ann turned to look at Daisy, who raised her chin. "Let's go, I'll send you there."

"Thank you very much!" Ann put her hands together.

...

In a private room of the Royal Hotel, many famous big shots in River City gathered together only to celebrate Abbey's return.

Back then, before Abbey left the country, she had made many friends in the business world. Although she had left because of her "overseas studies" in the past few years, she was backed by the Quelch family. Soon after she returned, she was announced to be the market manager of the Moore Group.

Those successful businessmen were all smart people. They knew better than anyone that they could not underestimate anyone. If they were not careful, they might be turned around.

Phillip was the best example. He used to be an illegitimate child, but he became someone dominant in River City.

More importantly, the relationship between Abbey and Phillip was really confusing.

Abbey was sitting next to Phillip with a smile on her face. The people present looked at her, and then looked at Phillip, who rarely attended such a dinner party. Although his expression was cold, he still did not leave.

Even when someone offered Abbey a toast, he took the initiative to drink for her.

These old foxes had their own conclusions at once.

Phillip had a close relationship with Abbey. If they were together, the Moore Family would definitely be able to prosper.

All of a sudden, these people were trying to rope him in.

Abbey sat beside Phillip and watched him drink.

"Phillip, I'm sorry. The doctor said I can't drink too much."

Phillip's lips were a little pale. His deep eyes stared at her for a moment. He calmly retracted his gaze, his expression calm.

"It's fine."

Just then, Aydan came in from outside the door and greeted Abbey embarrassedly. Then, he whispered into Phillip's ear.

"I've already called Ann. She will be here soon. Nikki is with her."

Phillip nodded. When someone came up to propose a toast, he placed a hand on his stomach.

Aydan immediately stopped that man, "Sir, it's already too late. Drinking too much is not a good idea. Let's call it a day!"

The people present saw Phillip's cold expression. They had been invited by Abbey. Now, they naturally would not force Phillip and immediately agreed.

Aydan supported Phillip, who seemed drunk with a pale face, and walked out. Abbey also followed behind them, confused.

"Phillip could hold his liquor before. How did he get drunk so quickly?"

Aydan sighed, "Drunk? It's his stomach!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Phillip stood straight with a "weak" posture.

"Shut up!"

Aydan quickly supported him. "Alright, alright, alright. I'll shut up. But Ann will blame me when she sees us because I didn't stop you from drinking!"

As he spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

When Ann saw Phillip coming out of the car, she immediately opened the door and got out.

After walking forward, she supported Phillip. Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on his body, she looked up and saw his white lips. She could not help but frown and blame him.

"Why did you drink so much? Don't you care about your stomach?"

Phillip placed a hand on her shoulder, and the coldness between his brows instantly dissipated.

"I'm fine."

When Ann heard his weak voice, she was angry and anxious. She could not help but lightly pat his chest.

"You ask for it!"

The corners of Phillip's lips curved slightly. He held her hand and kissed it. "Don't you care about me?"

Nikki peeked out of the car. She blinked her big eyes and looked out. When she saw Phillip, she got out of the car and habitually hugged Phillip's thigh.

"Daddy!"

Phillip lowered his head to look at her. He bent down to pick her up and kissed her little pink face.

"Daddy stinks!" Nikki sniffed the smell of alcohol on his body and wrinkled her nose.

Although she said this, her little hands still clung to Phillip's shoulder.

Ann was worried about Phillip's stomach, so she carried Nikki down and was about to help Phillip into the car when she caught a glimpse of Abbey.

Ann was a little surprised, but she still greeted her with a smile.

"Abbey."
