Chapter 49 Pay Your Share of Bill
A young woman in a red blouse who was sitting not far away from Zachary stood up and said harshly, "Zachary, you won't even have the chance to enjoy a meal here if Victor didn't invite us to this gathering. You should apologize to Victor. Perhaps he will forgive you since you're his classmate."
After that, the young woman put on a flattering expression. She smiled charmingly and raised her glass to Victor, "Victor, thank you for inviting us to this gathering. Cheers!"
The others were stunned to see this. They looked at the young woman in disdain, but they remained silent and lowered their heads.
Although Harry was smiling, he was feeling helpless now. The young woman was Tracy Chow. She was a mischievous student that had many conflicts with Zachary because of homework and discipline.
Zachary and her were not on good terms. It seemed that she wanted to seize this opportunity to cause him trouble.
Seeing Tracy raising her glass, Victor glanced at her and said flatly without even moving, "I'm not in the mood to drink now!"
Tracy was embarrassed. Her raised glass stayed in the air in an awkward manner. She was stunned for a few seconds before giving out an insincere laugh.
Seeing this, Harry tried to smooth things over again, "Victor, she's your girlfriend, isn't she? She's so beautiful. What a perfect match!"
"She is the most beautiful girl in the Arts School of Ludington City. She has just become my girlfriend not long ago. My ex-girlfriend, who is from the Nursing School, is no longer attractive to me!" Victor laughed and shrugged. Then, he looked at Tracy and stared at her, "I don't want to have a drink now. But, my mood will be better if you can make him drink this alcohol." He picked up a full bottle of alcohol and took a glance at Zachary.
Tracy understood what he meant immediately. She opened the bottle of alcohol and threw it to Zachary, yelling, "Zachary, drink this as an apology to Victor."
"Sorry, I don't feel like drinking," Zachary replied blandly.
It was a bottle of vodka with a 60% alcohol content. Getting drunk would have been a light consequence from this. Zachary would more likely suffer from stomach ulcers or alcohol poisoning if he drank the whole bottle in one gulp. Naturally, Zachary would not do things that harm his body. Moreover, it was the request of two people he hated. He would not agree to this.
"You!" Tracy was furious. She shouted angrily, "Do you think we are still in high school? What's so great about your good grades? You should look at yourself in the mirror because you're just a jerk! It's your honor that Victor asks you to drink this alcohol. Don't you dare disrespect him. Drink it!"
Zachary looked at her coldly with a dark face and reiterated, "I've said that I won't drink! It's none of my business if you want to curry favor with him. I know you're seeing which way the wind blows. Don't involve me in this!"
"What are you talking about?" Tracy's face was red with anger. She picked up the bottle and splashed the wine directly in Zachary's face, shouting, "You have to drink it even if you don't want to!"
Zachary narrowed his eyes slightly. Tracy's action was starting to piss him off.
He picked up the napkin on the table in the blink of an eye and swung it gently. The napkin spread in the air, forming a barrier and blocking all the alcohol that was splashed towards him. He reached out his right hand at the same time and slapped Tracy with a crisp sound. Tracy's face became red and swollen.
"How dare you slap me! You will regret it!" Tracy shrieked as she pounced on Zachary.
Zachary would never let her get close to him. He flung the napkin which was fully soaked with alcohol in Tracy's face. Then, he tapped a few times on her elbow with his right hand swiftly.

Instantly, Tracy felt her arms go numb. She crumpled feebly onto her seat, unable to move at all.
"Ah! Tracy!" Harry shouted in panic. The gathering was organized by him and he didn't expect such a thing to happen. He said anxiously, "Zachary..."
"Don't worry. She won't die! I just taught her a lesson. She will recover in two hours," Zachary said lightly. Harry was relieved after hearing this. He was shocked at the same time as well. How could Zachary, who had always been harmless, become so aggressive?
"Harry, I'm leaving." Feeling the tense atmosphere, Zachary didn't want to stay any longer.
Harry was startled. He gave a wry smile and nodded his head.
Victor slammed the cigar box in his hand on the table at this moment. He looked at Zachary and said coldly, "I don't like men who beat up women. Also, I'm not in a mood for this gathering anymore because of you. How can you just leave like this?"
"What do you want?" Zachary looked at him indifferently.
Victor picked up three bottles of vodka, placed them heavily on the table, and said to Zachary, "I'll forgive you if you drink all of these and apologize to me." "Not interested!" Zachary got up to leave.
Victor's face darkened. He snapped, "Don't forget that I'm the one who is going to pay the bill for tonight's party. You have to pay your share of the bill if you leave now."

Harry and other students were stunned. They all knew that Zachary came from a poor family. The bill for each person would be more than 5,000 yuan for this meal. This was definitely a huge amount of money for Zachary, who was still a student.
Thinking of this, Harry wanted to smooth things over. "Victor, Zachary is just a little stubborn. How about..."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"He must drink this wine!" Victor waved his hand and interrupted Harry's words.
"By the way, I have to remind you that the wasted bottle of alcohol is worth 8, 800 yuan. It is on you! As for the cigar, nevermind." Victor said proudly. He asked the waiter to come over, "Get him his bill now. I won't pay for his share of the bill!" "Sir, your bill is 13, 358 yuan in total. It becomes 13, 300 yuan after rounding off. Are you going to pay by cash or by card?" The waiter asked.
Zachary frowned slightly. He really didn't have so much cash at that moment.
Seeing this, Tracy, whose body was still numb, mocked him, "Bast*rd, are you afraid now? You can't get 10, 000 yuan even if you sell yourself. You're just a poor man."
"It's still not too late for you to drink now!" Victor looked at Zachary with a smug smile on his face.
Zachary was considering whether he should give Lauren a call and ask her to borrow him some money. When his gaze fell on the logo on the waiter's uniform, he was immediately relieved.
"I didn't know that Vista Hotel is under Ricardo Group," Zachary thought to himself when he saw the Ricardo Group logo on the waiter's uniform. He took out the Dark Gold VIP Card that was given by Henric.
