Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets

Chapter 222

Hannah had just drank that one glass of drink and she felt strange. She picked up the empty glass of drink, and stared at it, checking if there was something inside. Maybe I'm the one overthinking it, she thought and then raised her head and stared at Jessica who had drank more than five glasses and was feeling so drunk already. "You are drunk, Jessica, that's enough. Let's go home" Matthew said as he stood up and helped her stand up from the chair.

"No, I don't want to go home yet, we just arrived, I want to stay and have fun" she pouted.

"I promise, you will have fun when we get home, but now we need to go home," Matthew said as he carried her in his arms. She rested her head on his chest and then wrapped her hands around his neck and closed her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Matthew asked as he noticed the look on her face.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said, trying so hard to compose herself. Matthew nodded in response before walking out of the house.

He walked towards his car and put Jessica in the back seat, and helped her wear the seat belt

"Please, I don't like seat belts, get it off me," she said with her eyes closed and Matthew removed the seat belt immediately and was about to leave when she held his hands.

He turned to her and stared at her pretty face.

"Matthew you know how much I love you right?" She said as she managed to open her eyes and then their both gaze locked.

"Of course, I do. I love you too" Matthew said and tears streamed down her eyes.

"Hey, why are you crying?" He asked

"All the men I have ever loved in the past had always betrayed me one way and another and left me. I just hope you ain't like that, because it would break me if such happen because I have fallen deeply in love with you" Jessica said as she closed her eyes and went silent immediately.

Matthew stared at her and sighed softly. He helped her sit properly on the car seat and then closed the door. Just as he was about to walk to the driver's seat, he heard someone's voice from behind.

"Alexander" a female called and he turned at once and saw a familiar figure staring at him, with the look of surprise on her face.

He quickly looked away, entered the car and drove off at speed.

"Alexander wait...." The female figure said but he had already driven off. She then sighed softly.

Meanwhile, Brandon had gone back to sit with Mr Thomas and his friends when suddenly Jeff stood up and left.

"Can we talk business now?" Brandon asked as he whispered to Thomas.

"Sure we can," Thomas said as he and Brandon excused themselves and walked away.

Meanwhile, Hannah is seen sitting alone at the table when she suddenly feels her temperature change and suddenly starts feeling dizzy.

"Oh God!! Don't tell me I'm drunk, one glass cannot get me drunk, except there's something in the glass, she thought, sweat dripping off her forehead.

She needed to call Brandon, she thought and then opened her purse and brought out her phone to call Brandon but suddenly the phone fell from her hand.

"Hey, are you alright?" A lady who had been observing her asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just feel sick, but my husband will be here soon" she managed to say and then the lady nodded and helped pick up her phone from the ground and dropped it on the table before walking away. Meanwhile, Isabella on the other hand is seen sitting at the corner of the party watching the whole incident take place.

She smiled as she saw Hannah was becoming dizzy. She decided to set her up with a man as she wouldn't have the strength to fight whoever came to her and then she would take a picture of it and send it to Brandon, she thought and just then she saw Jeff walking towards her direction.

She knew who Jeff was and the relationship he had with Hannah in the past and she also knows Brandon and Jeff ain't on good terms.

Perfect, now, she thought.

Jeff, on the other hand, who was going to use the men's restroom had then caught a glimpse of Hannah sitting on a table all alone. She was looking so pretty.

He scoffed the moment he saw her and walked towards her.

"Sitting here all alone, where's your husband? Oh, I forgot, he's with Mr Thomas and others.

Now, I would see how he would come to save you" Jeff said and Hannah took a deep breath trying to compose herself.

"Let me be, Jeff. Get lost" she said and Jeff paused for a moment as he noticed she was acting weird and sweating profusely.

"Are you drunk? Woah! Perfect" he said as a smile crept onto his lips.

He then dragged her up from the chair, dragging her towards the restroom.

"Let go of me Jeff " Hannah yelled and tried removing her hands from Jeff but he was just too strong for her. And she was too weak to fight back.

"I said let me go" She kept struggling but Jeff paid a deaf ear to her and then a voice spoke from behind.

"You heard the lady, let her go" Lucas spoke and then Jeff paused and turned to him while holding Hannah who kept struggling for him to let her go.

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Jeff asked as he stared at Lucas. He recognized him from the bar, the guy who had punched him the other day, he wondered what relationship he had with Hannah.

Although the guy looked familiar like he'd known him from somewhere apart from the bar. He just couldn't place his fingers on where they had met before.

"She's my brother's woman and trust me when my brother finds out you are taking his woman away, you're gonna be a dead man," Lucas said and Jeff raised his eyebrows surprised.

Is he Brandon's Brother? I thought his brother had died in his company's field years ago? How come he's alive?
