My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

A commotion erupted in the lounge.

A group of wealthy young heirs had just arrived together, each hailing from the most powerful families in the area. Standing at the pinnacle of wealth, influence, and power, their presence alone sent waves of excitement through the crowd.

The lounge had barely settled from the last incident when another storm began brewing.

"Mr. Gus is hosting tonight, treating these heirs from prestigious families. But does he even know that his lounge is about to be shut down?" some people whispered among themselves as they sensed that things were about to get interesting.

And the person responsible for that closure was still sitting right inside.

He was a man with the power to shake the highest echelons of Hattan and backed by some power shrouded in mystery.

The Mabry family could not afford to offend him. But what about the young heirs that Gus had brought along?

These men were from outside Hattan. Most of them hailed from Central Harbor's top families. They were leagues above the influence of Hattan.

When such figures collided, what kind of sparks would fly?

"Where's the manager?" Gus's voice boomed the moment he stepped into the lounge with his entourage.

"Mr. Gus..."

The bar manager, who had been personally attending to Dustin behind the counter, froze mid-action as he reached for a bottle.

"Manager, what are you doing playing bartender over there?" Gus frowned. "Get over here and entertain my guests."

"I..." The manager hesitated.

He took a glance at Dustin and realized his eyes were half-closed. He seemed drunk.

The manager quickly stepped out from behind the bar and approached Gus. "Mr. Gus, what can I do for you?"noveldrama

"Set us up with the best seats, bring out the finest liquor, and find the most beautiful women for my friends," Gus said with a smile.

The manager's face stiffened. He had no idea how to break the news to Gus.

This lounge was going to be shut down tomorrow...

The family did not even know it yet.

"Why are you just standing there? Move!" Gus's irritation flared.

The manager was just opening his mouth to explain...

"Where's my drink? Bring me my drink!" Dustin, who was sitting by the bar, suddenly yelled.

"It's coming up right now..." The manager's face paled as he turned and rushed back to the bar to serve Dustin.

Gus froze, then his face darkened.

Had he just been ignored?

In front of all these heirs? That was absolutely humiliating!

Was this manager out of his mind?

"Gus, looks like your lounge's service

is... quite something." One of the

'n'

heirs sheered. "I mean, just look, he'd rather serve some drunkard than pay attention to us."

The other heirs' expressions darkened.

Gus's face grew even darker. He stormed over to the bar furiously.

The manager had just picked up a bottle to pour Dustin a drink when Gus suddenly snatched it from his hands.

"What do you think you're doing? Do you even want to keep your job?" Gus snapped.

“Do you not see that I have guests? Why are you serving some random drunk instead of us? Are all the bartenders dead? Is that why you're serving?"

"Mr. Gus..." The manager looked helpless.

"It's complicated, but this man... we really need to serve him properly..."

Gus's frown deepened and he glanced at Dustin.

He looked like a regular guy who was half-drunk.

What was so special about him that he warranted this kind of service from the manager himself?

"My drink. give me my drink..."

Dustin's eyes were half-closed when

he saw Gus holding his drink. Then,

he

reached for the bottle in Gus's

hand. .

Gus was irritated when he saw Dustin reaching for the bottle, and he stepped back. Suddenly, he raised the bottle and smashed it onto the floor.
