From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 353

The group left Villa Sera and made their way straight to Azure Heights, another property owned by the Williams family.

Laurinda sat next to Adolphus. She grabbed a beer from the table and popped the cap off against the edge like she’d done it a thousand times. The people around her laughed at how smooth she was, and someone even gave her a thumbs-up.

Before she could take a sip, Adolphus took the bottle right out of her hand and replaced it with a carton of milk. “You’re still taking your meds. No alcohol for you…”

Irvin leaned over, grinning as he watched. “Adolphus, you’re such an old man. Live a little.”

Adolphus turned to Irvin with a half-smile, an eyebrow raised. “Want to take another trip to Flame Training Base?”

Irvin’s face went pale. “No way. I’m sorry, man. I swear I’ve learned my lesson!”

Just hearing the name Flame Training Base made Irvin’s knees go weak. The year Adolphus had been his instructor was something he never wanted to remember.

Laurinda watched Irvin beg for mercy, a smile tugging at her lips. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted someone slipping past the door outside. She leaned closer to Adolphus and said quietly, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

“Okay. Stay safe.”

Adolphus could tell she probably wasn’t actually going to the bathroom, but he didn’t stop her. Azure Heights was a step up from other clubs, with security that actually did their job. She’d be fine.

Outside, Laurinda immediately spotted a familiar figure and hurried over. “Wan An, what are you doing here?”

The woman waiting by the door lit up when she saw Laurinda. She grabbed her hand and pulled her into a side stairwell. “I thought I saw you come in, so I followed to check. I can’t believe it’s really you! When did you get to Cabinda?”
