Chapter 1340: Provocation What irritating Owen the most was that this despicable woman had actually brought her
“friend with benefits” in front of him, which was a blatant provocation! “Isabela, how come I’ve never seen this
male best friend of yours before?” Owen took a deep breath and managed to suppress his anger. “Do I need your
permission to make friends?” Isabela replied indifferently. “Besides, I haven’t seen some of your female friends
either.” “Well…” One sentence left Owen speechless. He finally understood that this woman was deliberately trying
to provoke him. “Sister-in-law, since we rarely get the chance to gather like this, come on, let me propose a toast to
you,” Brinkley hastily tried to smooth things over with a smile. “I don’t drink,” Isabela refused coldly. “It’s okay, it’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtokay. You can have juice. As long as you’re happy, sister-in-law,” Brinkley said with a forced smile, and he quickly
ordered a variety of fruit juice drinks from the waiter. “Dustin, come on, have some juice,” Isabela picked up a red
glass of juice and offered it to Dustin, feeding it to him herself, showing a lot of intimacy. Watching their affectionate
gestures, Owen clenched his teeth. He might indulge in some flirtations outside, but that didn’t mean he could
tolerate being humiliated like this. Regardless of the circumstances, Isabela was his fiancée, and for her to publicly
display affection with another man in front of him was a direct insult. “Damn it! Touching my woman? You’re really
tired of living!” Owen stared at Dustin with intense hatred, his eyes seeming as if they could devour him. However,
due to Isabela’s presence, he restrained himself from taking action and could only bear with it. “Just drinking is a bit
boring,” Owen suddenly spoke up, seemingly having thought of something. “Brinkley, didn’t you learn some
mystical arts from Master Hudson? I’ve heard it’s quite amazing. How about taking this opportunity to give us a
demonstration? Spice things up a bit?” In the past, Brinkley had spent a considerable sum of money to learn some
strange and mystical techniques from a master, all for the purpose of impressing women. For example, hypnosis,
controlling people’s actions, or using poison. In the past, he had encountered a chaste and virtuous woman in a bar
who refused to yield. However, after Brinkley’s manipulation, the virtuous woman had turned into a seductress.
Now, he intended to make use of Brinkley’s abilities to make Dustin look bad. “Owen, what I do is just child’s play,
it’s not on a professional level,” Brinkley humbly said. “No problem, let’s consider it a magic show and let everyone
have some fun,” Owen gestured. “Yes, Brinkley, we’re all interested. We’d like to see it,” several young men and
women chimed in. “Alright, since you’re interested, I’ll give it a try.” Brinkley quickly regained his composure and

would like to come up and give it a try?” “As I see it, this gentleman, Mr. Dustin, is just right.” Owen looked at Dustin
and smiled maliciously. “He’s a new friend, so why not give everyone a chance to get to know him?” “If it requires
cooperation, I can do it,” Isabela volunteered. “Sister-in-law, the mystical arts I’ve learned can’t be used on
women,” Brinkley shook his head. “Mr. Dustin, as a grown man, surely you wouldn’t lack the courage for this,
right?” Owen started to provoke. “Mr. Dustin, don’t worry, I promise there won’t be any danger,” Brinkley said with
a smirk. “Yeah, everyone is in high spirits, so let’s have some fun together. You wouldn’t want to miss out on this
opportunity, right?” Many people joined in the teasing. Their eyes were filled with mockery. They naturally
understood that Owen and Brinkley were planning to play a prank. “Alright, since everyone is so interested, I’ll join
in the fun with you.” Dustin smiled faintly and then downed the contents of his juice in one gulp. Ten years had
passed, and it seemed that these idle rich kids in Stonia had forgotten the shadow of being controlled by Logan
Ryhs.
