From Owen's words, it was clear that it wasn't entirely a threat to Justin but more of a warning for him to back off. The meaning was obvious. Owen seemed to be declaring, "The woman I have pursued for a long time is not someone you should even think about. It's best if you step aside now and avoid unnecessary trouble." At the same time, he kept his tone light, as he couldn't let others think that he was petty.

Even though he was displeased, he wouldn't show it and planned to settle the

    Other people thought the same. 'There's no way Justin dare act recklessly in Mr. Longman's venue!'Justin didn't even glance at the group of bodyguards. To him, they weren't worth his attention. He didn't feel like wasting a single look on them.Daniel squinted suspiciously. He wondered if mentioning Owen had intimidated Justin. If that were the case, dealing with Justin would be a piece of cake. Daniel thought smugly, 'Justin, you'll have to do whatever I ask!'Full of arrogance and condescension, Daniel declared, "Justin, lick my shoes, and I'll spare your life!"After saying this, he scanned the crowd as if announcing to everyone that Justin had no choice but to obey. But he was overthinking it. Justin completely ignored him. Daniel was left embarrassed. After all, he was the son of a senator, known by many. If he were treated like this, he couldn't maintain his reputation in their social circle. He had to save face."Justin, don't be so ungrateful. Do as

    Daniel and Emma nodded. "Yes!"Justin, overhearing their conversation, frowned slightly. It was the first time he had ever heard of a rule where cutting a cake required someone close to the birthday gril, and it had to be someone of the opposite sex. It was absurd.At the same time, he noticed the fleeting smiles on their faces that quickly disappeared. There was a sense of ulterior motives. 'Daniel and Emma have always been at odds with me. How could they suddenly act so kind and offer me the honor of cutting the cake? They'd rather kill me. There's something fishy going on!' he thought.Stroking his chin with interest, Justin suddenly said, "Sure, I enjoy helping people cut cakes!""Justin, you're aware of this tradition?" Audrey asked, her expression puzzled.Justin didn't believe it for a second but still smiled and replied, "Of course! It brings good luck to you!""So there really is such a tradition?" Audrey asked, still confused."Of course!

    "We won't! Please trust us!" Daniel said confidently.Owen didn't have a better idea, so he reluctantly went along with the plan for now. As long as it could embarrass Justin, that was enough. He absolutely couldn't let Justin feel proud. Just thinking about how Justin had been chatting and laughing with Audrey earlier made Owen's chest tighten with frustration. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Justin with his bare hands to vent his anger.'You're a nobody, and you think you can compete with me for a woman? Who do you think you are?' Owen sneered inwardly."Exactly, Mr. Longman. Justin is nothing but an ex-convict. He's no match for you!" Emma said, her tone dripping with flattery."Yeah, Mr. Longman. He's just a nobody, not worth mentioning. This time, we'll definitely teach him a lesson!" Daniel added, his voice equally obsequious.Owen's anger subsided slightly. Instead, he spoke in a calmer tone, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance. But if you

    The crowd listened intently at the mention of "underwear," their expressions a mix of anticipation and curiosity. Despite Daniel's status and influence, no one dared to voice their thoughts aloud. Yet, in their minds, vivid images had already formed—someone parading around in their underwear at a birthday party.Daniel's eyes burned with fury as he glared at Justin, his gaze sharp enough to pierce through him. If Emma undressed in public, that was no different from slapping him in the face and humiliating him in front of everyone. No one would tolerate such a thing."You're sick, Justin!" Emma shouted angrily, her voice trembling with rage.Audrey rolled her eyes and sneered, "Is this all you've got? You agreed to play the game, lost, and now you can't handle it? How pathetic!"Justin smirked and said deliberately, "Daniel, are you going to make your wife take it off or not? If you can't handle losing, just say so. Don't waste everyone's time!"Justin

    Smack! Everyone was expecting a big card, but instead, a measly five appeared before their eyes.When Justin saw the card clearly, his eyes narrowed into slits. 'A five?' He couldn't believe it."A five? Hold on, let me laugh for a bit...""Oh my goodness, a five? Just take it off yourself and stop wasting our time!""Justin, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Are you waiting for a three or a four to show up?"The group burst into laughter, mocking him relentlessly.Audrey, seeing Justin being ridiculed for drawing a five, was a little annoyed. She glared at the crowd and said, "What's wrong with a five? Can't a five beat a two, a three, or even a four?""It's too early to take anything off now. After all, the game isn't over yet. If I lose, it has to be in a way that's convincing, right?" Justin said calmly, a faint smile on his face as he maintained his composure."Exactly. How can you all act like this? So immature!" Daniel chi

    Justin walked over and sat down, forcing an awkward smile. "Do you two have to make fun of me?""Cut the crap! Today, I'll make sure you won't even have your underwear left. Get ready to streak..." Emma said with a grin.She had never seen a man streak in public before, let alone her ex-boyfriend who used to bully her. Today, she was determined to make him strip and run around naked so she could finally have a good laugh. Only then could she vent the anger that had been building in her heart.Emma glanced at Justin and snorted coldly. Just as he was about to reach out to flip a card, she quickly shouted, "Wait! Do you seriously have the nerve to go first? Don't you know ladies first?"Justin nodded and gestured as if to say, "Please, go ahead."Emma rolled her eyes at him with a smug expression. She reached out her slender hand and flipped a card from the shuffled deck. It turned out to be the eight of hearts, which lay face-up for everyone to see."Ugh
