Chapter 724
Cicely flashed a smirk, hit the service bell, and asked the waiter to bring up ten bottles of Louis XIII.
She had been sitting by Kane’s side, downing two drinks, and her face was already starting to flush. She never used
to drink, and a single glass would get her hammered. Even though she was fine now, her alcohol tolerance was, at
best, enough to just handle two drinks
After drinking, her face would easily turn red, and she would suffer from a headache because of the alcohol.
Some say that people who easily flush when drinking don’t get drunk easily. She wasn’t sure if that was true. Every
time after drinking, she felt as if she had reached her limit. She would always have a terrible headache, but her
thoughts seemed to become clearer and clearer.

Chloe.
No matter the topic, she could always keep the conversation going. Even though most of the time, she was the one
asking questions, and Chloe would just respond indifferently.
Kane, having had a bit too much to drink, returned to the couch and sat down. Cicely once again took her place
beside him. She handed over her drink to Kane.
Kane understood Cicely’s intentions. She was just trying to make some bucks. “Cicely, are you trying to get me
wasted?”
Kane turned his head to look at her, this ruthless woman.
She had corrected him multiple times that she was now called Diamond, but Kane couldn’t get used to it, and Cicely
just went with it.
“If someone got drunk to death in this bar, I’d get dragged into it too. Do you really think I’d be that reckless?”
Hypocrite! Kane grimaced. What wouldn’t Cicely dare to do? But he didn’t dwell on this.
He raised the glass to his lips and took a sip, then turned to ask her, “Are you really that strapped for cash?”
Cicely took a sip from her drink, gave a small smirk, and leaned back on the couch. Her slightly drunk eyes were
reddish, but it added a touch of allure.
‘Yeah, who would do this if they weren’t desperate for money?”
Her nonchalance made everyone in the room believe even more that the woman in front of them was Diamond
from No. 8 Mansion, not Cicely.
The old Cicely would act out in front of anyone, saying whatever she wanted. But the only person she couldn’t do
that in front of was Seth.

Kane started to feel puzzled again. He realized he had never truly understood Cicely.
‘Cicely, do you even remember who we are?” This question quieted the room once again.
Did she still remember who they were? It was a question about the past.
Even Chloe turned to look at Kane, her brows furrowed slightly. The man in the corner also slowly lifted his eyes,
staring at her face through the dimly lit room.
Cicely blinked her eyes, her slightly drunken gaze gliding across Kane’s face.
The atmosphere in the room got a little weird. Cicely suddenly chuckled, her voice soft but with a touch of
absurdity.
‘Of course, you’re customers.”
The room went silent again. Now, to her, they were neither friends nor classmates, much less former lovers, but
customers. No one knew what they were expecting, but this answer was the worst. Feeling her cheeks getting
hotter, Cicely put down her drink, slowly stood up and said, “Sorry, Mr. Ziems, I think I need to hit the ladies‘ room.”
