Chapter 403 
Xander quickly finished expressing his views and then asked, “Miss Young, what do you think?” 

Aveline nodded. “I’ll integrate these ideas into the design plans and send. them to you for review.” 
Xander nodded. “Alright.” 
Aveline stood up. “In that case, I’ll take my leave. I don’t want to disturb you further.” 
However, Xander grabbed her arm and said, “Miss Young, don’t rush off. Since you’re here, have a drink before you go.” 
“Yeah, yeah, Miss Young, you’re so beautiful, and your work must be excellent too, right?” 
“Come on, have a drink. In the future, when we buy land, we’ll have Miss Young do the designs!” 
Others joined in, urging her. 
Aveline’s smile faded slightly, but she still said, “I’m sorry, I need to go back and revise the plans.” 
Xander, however, didn’t let go, pulling her to sit among the group. “Miss. Young, don’t be in such a hurry. Have a couple of drinks before you leave.” 
Aveline was forced to sit among the crowd, and someone immediately reached out to hold her waist. 
Aveline abruptly stood up. “Mr. Wilbur, I really don’t have time tonight. You wouldn’t force me, would you?” 
Xander’s expression stiffened. 
“Heh, a mere designer dares to disrespect our Mr. Xander? Are you looking down on us?” 
“Exactly, Xander, what kind of designer did you find? She doesn’t understand the rules at all.”

“You’re drinking this wine, whether you like it or not!” 
Aveline was speechless. 
Before Xander could say anything, the others were already displeased. 
Someone directly grabbed Aveline and forced her back onto the sofa, picking up a glass of wine and trying to make her drink! 
“Mm!” 
Aveline struggled, and wine spilled all over her, soaking her clothes and making her look very disheveled.. 
The others looked at her with more malicious intent. 
“Look at that, she can drink! Why pretend?” 
“Drink all these glasses of wine, or this cooperation is over!” 
Xander sat beside her, looking at Aveline with displeasure. He was very annoyed that she didn’t show him any respect. 
Aveline was held down by two men, wine spilling all over her face and body. She choked and coughed violently, struggling with all her might. 
“Let go… 
She bit down hard on one man’s arm, causing him to yelp in pain and release her suddenly. 
Seeing this, Aveline quickly tried to get up and run out! 
But someone else was faster, grabbing her and pulling her back again!. 
“Where do you think you’re going!” 
“Coming here at night to discuss business, aren’t you just selling yourself? Stop pretending!” 
“Serve us well, and we’ll give you as many contracts as you want!” 
The men’s words grew increasingly vulgar and disrespectful. 
Aveline’s eyes reddened as she struggled fiercely, looking towards Xander,

Mr. Wilbur!” 
Xander frowned but remained silent. 
Despair appeared on Aveline’s face. 
Meanwhile. 
Aaron and Lucas stepped out of the elevator. 
Aaron, with a relaxed expression, said, “What’s up with you today? Why did you agree to come to this birthday party? You never used to bother with these kinds of gatherings.” 
Lucas‘ expression was icy, a cold aura surrounding him. 
“Can’t I join the fun for once?” 
Aaron glanced at him. “Sure, why not? But… shouldn’t you be spending time with your wife?” 
Lucas shot b 
a frosty look, “Jealous?” 
“Heh!” Aaron chuckled, “You married folks will never understand the joys of being single.” 
As he spoke, he pushed open the private room door. Just as they were about to enter, they heard noises coming from the room next door.
