Kapitel 738: Chapter 756: Pain should be shared by everyone (9)

Ella Adams glanced at Clarence Cooper with a faint smile, seemingly not hearing what Elijah Smith said, and raised her glass. The two gently clinked their glasses and took casual sips.

Elijah tightly gripped the cup of pear juice in his fingers, his lips pursed tightly, staring at Ella Adams's profile for a long time before finally lowering his head and downing his glass of white wine in one gulp.

Clarence Cooper chatted endlessly with Elijah Smith about future cooperation plans. Although Elijah appeared to be listening, he really wasn't. Having rarely drank in all these years, tonight, he had a bit too much. In the end, his vision was blurry, and he simply looked up, staring directly at Ella Adams.

Clarence kept addressing Elijah Smith as "brother" while chatting over drinks.

Ella Adams sat quietly beside him, her gaze soft under her eyelids, making her seem somewhat distracted.
