Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Confrontation
So, he didn’t believe what Adam Ross said at all, but instead, his expression grew even worse, his hands clenching the wine bottle tightly.
If he had to choose, he wouldn’t mind finishing off Adam Ross right there.
Already in a bad mood, Justin Battleson’s muscles subtly tensed, ready to stand up at any moment.
The two of them stared at each other, neither speaking a word.
Suddenly, the door to their private room was thrown open.
The man who came in was Harper Gibson, his face originally bearing a smile.
Seeing the grim expressions of the two men in the room, his smile immediately faltered.
"Justin, Adam, what’s happening? The atmosphere doesn’t seem quite right."
Upon entering, Harper plonked himself down between the two, cheerfully asking the question, not taking the situation too seriously.
Catching sight of Harper, Justin Battleson remained silent.
However, he slightly loosened his grip on the wine bottle.
Noticing Harper’s attention wasn’t on him, he quietly placed the bottle back on the table.
Adam Ross’s face didn’t betray any emotions.
He looked up at Harper’s entrance, his posture sitting a bit straighter.
"Both of you are here, which is good because I wanted to ask, what’s the story with that news report?"
This time, Harper came over specifically to inquire about that news.
After all, the thought of these two men, who usually showed little interest in women, being seen drinking with the same woman and making the news was quite incomprehensible.
Actually, right after that news broke, Harper had separately called both of them to ask.
Except...
Except nobody paid any attention to him.
Knowing that Adam Ross would be at 808 tonight, he decided to rush over.
This gossip was too juicy not to inquire in person.
Sitting on the sofa, Harper stretched his back.
Spotting the red wine that Justin Battleson had pulled out, he said in a sour tone: "You never share when I ask for this wine. Why are you drinking it secretly by yourself?"
Justin Battleson, helpless, could only appease him: "I’ll make it up to you with two even better bottles next time. I haven’t drunk much, you try."
The icy atmosphere had warmed up a bit since Harper’s arrival.
Adam Ross and Justin Battleson had stopped their confrontations.
Fetching a glass, Harper eagerly poured himself some red wine and savoured it."
"Why don’t you guys tell me if that news was true?"
Harper came to inquire about the news from Adam Ross, never expecting Justin Battleson to be around as well. He decided to question both at once.
"Why is the youngest one suddenly so nosy?"
Justin Battleson, unwilling to bring it up, tried to distract him: "How’s the wine? Premium, isn’t it?"
Rinsing his mouth, Harper savoured the taste and nodded in approval: "Indeed, no wonder you like it so much, it’s quite flavourful."
Adam Ross, overhearing the conversation, sneered sarcastically: "There are many things your older brother likes, Charlotte Thompson is also one of those."
Recalling Justin Battleson’s attitude towards him just moments ago, Adam Ross smiled in derision as he casually dropped this comment.
"Really?"
Suddenly, Harper felt more lively.
His mouth fell open wide enough to fit an egg in as he turned to look at Justin Battleson in disbelief: "Really, Justin?"
Justin Battleson’s face darkened further. However, upon reflection, he thought since Harper is his brother, there’s no need to hide anything.
"Hmm, Adam also likes her."
