Chapter 191 Stop Pretending Cheers erupted all around them ; the atmosphere was electric , and seeing the pair so intimate sent everyone into a frenzy .
Charlotte cast a glance subconsciously .
As she took in the scene , her brow lifted slightly , and a spark of interest lit up her face .
She even joined in the cheers along with the others .
But when she did , a hush fell over the crowd .
Everyone was taken aback by her enthusiasm .
Charlotte blinked in confusion .
Why did everyone stop ? Keep going ! Barrett discreetly wiped the sweat from his brow , filled with admiration for Charlotte .
As Arthurs wife , she was actually encouraging him to feed another woman wine ? Sarah was also surprised .
She quickly glanced at Arthur , whose expression had noticeably darkened .
Feeling anxious , she hurriedly said , Arthur , were just playing a game .
Lets stick to the rules , okay ? Her voice was steady , and she believed that Arthur wouldnt embarrass her in front of everyone .
She leaned in closer , but in the next instant , Arthur pulled his hand back and set his wine glass down on the coffee table .
In the suddenly silent room , the sound echoed sharply .
Sarah panicked .
Arthur … Ignoring her , Arthur abruptly stood up , grabbed Charlottes wrist , and strode out of the room .
Arthur ! Sarah shot up , intent on following him , but Barrett stopped her .
Sarah , cant you see Arthur is angry ? Just let him be .
No need to rush .
Sarah bit her lip , seething with frustration .
She turned to Barrett and demanded , Since you asked me to come , why did you also call Charlotte ? Barrett waved his hands defensively .
I didnt call you ! Her expression darkened even further .
Barrett , so youre siding .
with her now ? Have you forgotten that Arthur and I almost got married ? Barrett rubbed his nose with a playful smirk .
Sarah , you said that was in the past .
Its all gone , isnt it ? Fuming , Sarah stormed off in a huff .
Barrett cleared his throat and surveyed the group .

Who told you to invite her ? One person replied , Arthur was so drunk .
We thought it best to get someone to take care of him .
Doesnt he have feelings for Ms.
Miller ? Barrett walked over and playfully smacked the guy on the back of the head .
Who are you to meddle with Arthurs affairs ? Next time something like this happens , I wont let it slide .
Get lost ! The man left in frustration , never expecting that his good intentions would backfire .
Barrett glanced around the room , his tone indifferent .
I brought you all here to have fun .
Keep your noses out of matters that dont concern you .
If you upset Arthur , youll be in trouble .
Yes , everyone responded , eager to diffuse the tension .
They quickly shifted to other games , and without Arthur around , the mood lightened considerably .
Let me go ! Charlotte exclaimed , wrenching her hand free from Arthurs grip .
Frowning , she looked at him warily .
Whats wrong with you ? The stairwell was dimly lit , and the lively club atmosphere felt worlds away .
Arthur turned to face her , his eyes icy .
Charlotte , are you still pretending ? he scoffed .
