Chapter 288 I Can Still Outy Collin!


    Hearing that, Dustin could only sigh with regret. "Alright then." His voice carried a hint of disappointment.


    Linsey, having just exhaled a quiet sigh of relief, felt a sudden pang of frustration as she once again met defeat in the next


    round.


    A sense of helplessness washed over her, leaving her bewildered by her continuous streak of bad luck this evening.


    In sharp contrast, Dustin''s mood brightened considerably, his eyes alight with mischief and anticipation for the juicy


    details yet toe.


    However, before he could delve back into the scandalous tidbits, Collin preempted him with a keen interruption. "ording to the game''s rules, if we choose to avoid a question, we''re allowed to just take a drink, correct?" Collin inquired, his eyebrow cocked in a challenge.


    "Absolutely," Dustin replied, his voice a mix of intrigue and surprise as he processed the interruption. He then turned his


    curious gaze toward Linsey, his question tinged with concern. "But I thought Linsey didn''t drink?"


    With a dismissive snort, Collin responded, "She doesn''t drink, hence I shall drink on her behalf."


    He swiftly grabbed the ss resting before him and tossed back its contents in a fluid, decisive motion.


    Linsey, caughtpletely off guard, had no chance to protest.


    While she could have managed the question on her own, Collin''s protective stance was clear-he was intent on sparing her


    from the alcohol, and she was equally determined not to let him drink on her ount.


    "Oh,e on, Collin, that''s totally unfair!" Dustin burst out, his voice tinged with annoyance as his ns for gossip were


    cleverly sidestepped.


    Collin merely raised an eyebrow, his expression one of smug satisfaction. "I''m Linsey''s husband. It''s only natural for me to


    protect her," he dered proudly, his stance firm and resolute in the dimly lit


    room.


    Reluctantly, Dustin stepped back, opting to refrain from posing any more questions that could be deemed inappropriate.


    Provoking Collin would lead to his own downfallter.


    As the game progressed, Dustin found himself on a losing streak.


    Collin, ruthless and unyielding, dug deep into Dustin''s past heartaches.


    "Dustin, I heard your first sweetheart left you because youcked experience. Is that true?"


    "Dustin, rumor has it that you threw yourself into the nightlife after your heart was broken. Can you confirm that?"


    "Do you still linger over thoughts of your first love?"

    Chapter 2881 Can Still Outy Collin!


    With each probing question about his early romantic life, Dustin''s cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, his embarrassment palpable.


    Linsey and Dolores soaked in the scandalous details with evident delight.


    "Wow, Dustin, who would have guessed you were such a na?ve young man back then?" Dolores remarked, herughter ringing through the air.


    All eyes were on Dustin, expecting his response. Instead, he grasped his ss and downed three hefty gulps as a form of


    self-punishment.


    With a mix of resentment and resolve, Dustin muttered, "Just you wait, Collin. Once it''s your turn to lose, I''ll have you squirming with embarrassment!"


    Collin justughed, his confidence unwavering. "Show me what you''ve got, then make me lose!"


    The game escted into a fierce rivalry between Collin and Dustin.


    The tension was palpable, drawing raucousughter and gasps from the onlookers who were thoroughly entertained by the spectacle.


    Ultimately, it was no shock when Dustin sumbed to a resounding defeat.


    After downing several sses one after another, he became so inebriated that he crumpled to the floor, utterly incapable of


    standing.


    Collin, unable to hide a grin, leaned over him and taunted, "Come on, Dustin, rise and keep going, continue the game- don''t just sprawl there like you''re out for the count."


    Amused yet concerned, Dominic approached Dustin. Realizing Dustin was drunk, he intervened with a chuckle. "Come on, Collin, give Dustin a break. He''s well beyond his limit, he''s not faking it. We should probably cut him some ck; he''s already the evening''s entertainment."


    Offering a hand, Dominic helped Dustin to his feet. "Let''s head out, I''ll get you home safely."


    Despite his unsteady condition, Dustin resisted, his words slurred but determined. "I''m not going anywhere! I can still outy Collin!"


    With a dismissive snort, Collin retorted, "Alright then, stand up on your own, and I''m all yours for another round."


    Linsey observed the scene, her expression one of disbelief. This was a side of Collin she had never seen, his usual calmposure reced by childishpetitiveness.


    It was an eye-opener: beneath his cold exterior lurked a yful, almost boyish spirit, ignited by the simplest of challenges.
