Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 128 All's Not Forgiven

Ryan was the most flustered of the entire group, his mind racing with memories of how he had mistreated Darya in the past.

Now, with Darya's background and the fact that she had photos of him streaking. Ryan feared that she would seek revenge by releasing those photos to the world.

The mere thought of it triggered a massive headache, leaving him desperate for a solution.

He turned to Micah, his tone laced with trepidation. 'Mikey, your ex-wife is not the vengeful type, is she?"

'I don't know.' Micah shot his friend a dismissive look. 'But it's probably not too late for you to buy that plane ticket out of the country.'

Ryan cradled his head in both hands and groaned. 'What am I supposed to do?"

It was at that moment that he caught sight of Darya, who appeared to be having a great time with her friends nearby.

"Timothy, you came back without telling us. Then you show up here with flowers only for Darya. Talk about being biased!' Bianca's eyes narrowed as she teasingly punched Timothy's arm.

Timothy brushed off her comment, winking at Darya and saying, 'I only brought flowers for her because I only have eyes for her.'

'Aww, that's so sweet!' Bianca sighed. 'It's such a shame I missed the opportunity to witness Darya giving the Cavanaughs a taste of their own medicine. I picked the wrong time to go overseas.'

Darya remained silent, wearing a languid smile as she took a sip of her cocktail.

'Say, Darya, I heard Brion's returned to Hagen. Is that true?'noveldrama

Harley's unexpected question caught everyone's attention.

Bianca couldn't help but tease her, winking mischievously. 'Harley, please tell me you're not still interested in

Darya's second brother. He's such a nerd.'

'My brother's not a nerd,' Darya protested. 'He's just too caught up with his research to pay much attention to

other stuff.'

'Hey there, pretty lady, can I buy you a drink?'

Just as the four of them were engrossed in their conversation, a handsome man approached Darya, a smile playing on his lips as he attempted to strike up a conversation.

Before Darya could respond, Timothy placed a possessive hand on her shoulder and gave the newcomer a

menacing glare. 'Can't you see she's already in good company?

Timothy's usually playful demeanour couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes, sending the handomy mum quirky apologizing and retreating

At that moment, Timothy felt a prickling on the back of his neck, like he wm being machet

Both he and Darya turned their heads simultaneously, meeting Micah'a interes

Micah had not taken his eyes off Darya since Ryan pointed her out to hims

She wore a sleek, black minidress with chic suspenders, accentuating her bowden figure

Her sultry smoky eyes were framed with long lashes

Her distracted, slightly flirtatious smile and graceful gestures added an irresistible

allure to her already captivating presence.

Micah had never seen her like this before.

'Do you think we should go over there and say hello? Ryan whispered

He had wanted to apologise to Darya when they last met at the airport, but he lacked the courage

Now, fuelled by a bit of Dutch courage, he found the determination.

Without waiting for a reply, Ryan stood up immediately and made his way toward Darya

'Darya, ahem, I mean, Miss McAllister.' His voice was feeble, but he took a deep breath and conmoved, Te to apologise for the way I treated you in the past.'

He raised the glass in his hand. 'Please consider this my way of saying sorry." Before Darya could react, Ryan swiftly gulped down the whole glass of wine. Bianca couldn't help but sneer, 'Mr Mendez, you're quite the drinker. Don't you think a single glass of wine is a grossly insufficient apology?'

Embarrassed, Ryan quickly replied, 'Then, um, then I'll buy drinks for everyone tonight!"

'Mr Mendez, that's really generous of you,' Darya responded, a hint of a smile on her lips.

She snapped her fingers. 'Waiter!'

Responding to her call, a waiter rushed over. 'Yes, miss, what would you like to order?" 'Bring us ten bottles of the finest wine you have here,' Darya said without hesitation.

The waiter stood there, eyes wide open, clearly stunned.

Ryan had never expected Darya to request ten bottles of the most expensive wine available.

The Crystal Chalice was renowned for its luxury; even their regular wine cost more than a thousand dollars per bottle, let alone the most expensive ones.

'Miss, are you sure? The ten best bottles of wine here could cost a million dollars,' the waiter asked hesitantly.

A million dollars?

Ryan was dumbfounded.

He had merely come here tonight to accompany Micah to drown his sorrows, not

to burn a million dollars for

an apology.

'Of course, I'm sure. The young master from the Mendez family has generously offered to foot the bill Darya looked at Ryan with a twinkle of amusement in her eyes.

'Yes, yes, I'll pay,' Ryan reluctantly agreed, knowing he had no other choice if he wanted those nude photos of him kept secret.

The waiter's face lit up with excitement.

This would be a substantial tip!

After paying the bill, Ryan returned to Darya and pleaded, 'So, um, Miss McAllister, can you forgive me now?

Darya feigned innocence, toying with her glass. 'Forgive you? For what?'

Growing anxious, Ryan implored, 'Can you at least destroy those nude photos?'

'I never said I would destroy them. I merely said I would forgive you.' Darya smirked, raising her glass toward Ryan. 'However, I must thank you for the delightful drinks.'

'You!' Ryan seethed with anger, but the knowledge of Darya's leverage left him deflated, like a punctured

balloon.

Observing the situation, Micah stood up and approached.

The stink of alcohol wafted toward Darya, causing her to wrinkle her nose.

'Micah, your ex-wife is pushing her luck! She squeezed a million dollars out of me and still refuses to destroy the photos!' Ryan shook his fists, indignant.

Micah simply rolled his eyes and coldly responded, 'You brought this on yourself."
