Camile raised her eyebrows and added. "Hermione, you are too narrow-minded! You even boast about your twenty-year childhood friendship with Oliver and Orlando, but how come you can't afford to play like me, who you've known for twenty days?"

I did not want to deal with them anymore, so I turned around and was about to leave, but Camile bocked me.

"Now that you're here, why don't you have a drink with us before you leave?" she said with a devious smile.

Oliver and Orlando also blocked my way, one on the left and one on the right.

"You made Mimi unhappy during the day, so just drink a glass of wine to make amends and let this matter go."

"Yeah, according to the rules, you have to drink three glasses."

I looked at them in disbelief. They knew I was allergic to alcohol.

Back then, a client of Lynch Group who had been in public relations for a long time held a dinner party and they brought me to attend.

The client was a greasy man. I had already told him that I was allergic to alcohol, but he insisted on me accompanying him for a drink.

Oliver and Orlando lost their temper on the spot and beat up the client, resulting in the loss of that important project.

Afterwards, I felt really bad about myself and they consoled me. "It's okay to lose one project, we can still make money from other projects, but we will never allow others to bully our beloved Mimi!"

What happened that time was still vivid in my mind, but now they were helping others to bully me.

I stubbornly stood in place and refused to compromise.

"I did nothing wrong. Why should she make me apologize for damaging my things?"

Oliver got angry and said, "Having a father but no mother raising you, you have no manners at all! Your harsh demeanor is so digusting, no wonder your father abandoned you."

Orlando's face darkened as he said, "Hermione, don't forget that the tuition fees for your college education were all paid by the Lynch Family and you have lived in our house for so many years, but I haven't even bothered to argue with you."

I felt a deep pain in my heart. My grandmother passed away before I could take the college entrance examination. I had no tuition to go to college. I called my father, but he scolded me for being a spendthrift.

After hearing about it, those two brothers from the Lynch Family helped me pay for my tuition and even took me to their home.
