Chapter 657 - Alcohol Poisoning (1/2)

”I'll finish this wine, but I don't need your money. I know you are mad today, but I really need money. I know you cannot understand all this and I am not asking you to understand me. Thank you, for helping me.”

Della lifted her head stubbornly and looked at Raka boldly.

Her reaction instantly drew Nico's attention. He did not expect Della to be this strong, willing to accept Raka's challenge to drink a whole bottle of wine.

Raka sneered hearing that. He stretched out his hand to grab Della's chin. ”You are a woman. Why do you need that much money…”

” I…” Della was in pain. She felt like her chin was going to break because of Raka. ”I am sorry.”

”That doesn't answer the question. You haven't told me why you need the money,” Raka said.

”I just need it,” Della said firmly.

Raka was disappointed because Della didn't want to answer him. He could see there was sadness on the girl's face and her eyes seemed to show great pain.

”I will drink it. Can you let me go after that?” Della asked.

Raka nodded.

”Raka...” Nico looked at the wine bottle. It was a fairly tough old wine, how could Della spend it alone?

”Can you be a witness? Raka is willing to let me go after I finish all this,” Della said to Nico.

”Della, you don't have to finish the wine,” said Nico.

Della then replied with a bitter smile on her face. ”I have failed him. I do love money. I will always go wherever money leads me. Don't waste your time on me next time.”

Hearing her words, Raka became even more angry. His eyes looked even darker. ”You done talking? Should I pour the wine for you?”

Della's face looked a little pale as she heard that. She awkwardly opened the wine bottle and poured herself a glass. After taking a sip, she frowned deeply.

Raka was not interested in seeing this drama any further. He was about to get up and leave, but Della stopped him. ”Don't go. I will finish it.”

”You don't owe me anything. From now on, I will not interfere in your business anymore. Next time don't tell people that you ran away because of me,” Raka intended to leave but Della blocked his path. ”Don't go yet,” she said.

”What do you want?” Raka lost his temper. He was so angry, but he slowly regained his composure as he didn't want to be rude to women.

He didn't want to play with them.

Della took the wine bottle and drank it straight from the bottle, without bothering to pour it into a glass. She chugged it all at once while holding her breath.

After she managed to drink a third of it, Della started to feel sick. Her stomach and throat felt uncomfortable, like they were burning.

”Go on. I will bury you when you die,” Raka looked at her coldly.

At first, Nico didn't like Della. But he couldn't let a woman finish a bottle of wine alone.

He walked towards Raka and nudged the bottle in Della's hand. The bottle fell to the floor so that the contents spilled on the carpet.

Della immediately looked down and took the bottle back, seeing that the contents had run out. ”I've finished it.”

After that, she turned around and was about to leave.

She was in great pain because of the alcohol and could not walk upright, but she still forced herself to get out of the room.

When she was about to open the door, Della suddenly felt her vision darken and she fell to the floor.

Nico instinctively stretched out his hand and about to catch Della. But Raka moved faster and caught her. He caught a woman who seemed so strong and so brave a few minutes earlier, but then turned limp like a helpless doll in the next moment.
