Chapter 164
Everyone was on edge.
The young actresses who were previously chilling on the couch, all stood up. They greeted Mamie with respect. Marnie’s status in the entertainment industry was unparalleled, and they never thought they would bump into her here.
Mamie sauntered over and grabbed a bottle of red wine from the table.
Brayden, scared witless, hurried over and shielded Agnes, “Mamie, we can talk it out, no need to get physical”
Mamie, however, burst into laughter, “You thought I was gonna use this wine bottle as a weapon?”
With Mamie’s feisty character, she might indeed take a hard stance against Agnes without uttering a single word
Brayden chuckled awkwardly, “Mamie, you’ve always been graceful and sophisticated, never resorting to violence. I must’ve misunderstood.”
Mamie smiled, “I was just curious about what wine you guys were drinking. Hmm, quite ordinary. But today, I’ve brought some special booze for you.”
Just as she finished, a few people walked in and placed two boxes of alcohol on the table. The waiter helped to open the boxes. Inside were various types of hard liquor.
Mamie said, “These are fine liquors I’ve collected from around the world. It’s your birthday today, and these are perfect for the celebration.”
Everyone was taken aback. The alcohol Mamie brought were all high–proof liquors.
Shawn picked up a bottle, “Holy cow! This is a Scottish distilled whiskey, made using 17th–century distillation techniques. This whiskey has the highest alcohol content, and due to its unique storage method, it has a very distinctive taste. It’s 92% proof, it’s said that this liquor could fuel a sports car to 100km/h. And this one here, it’s the American Everclear! Due to its complex brewing process, it’s 95% proof. But this stuff can seriously mess you up, it’s banned in many states. And there’s also this high–proof Puerto Rican rum, Jamaican rum. Mamie, where on earth did you dig up these treasures?”
Mamie laughed but didn’t answer Shawn’s question. Instead, she asked, “What game are you guys playing?”
Sydney quickly replied. “We’re playing Truth or Dare. Mamie, wanna join?”
Mamie seemed intrigued, “Sure, what are the rules?”
Sydney explained, “Two people take turns spinning a bottle on the table. Whoever the bottle points to when it stops has to choose Truth or Dare. Truth is asking any question, Dare is asking the other to do anything.”
Mamie said, “Sounds fun, but Truth is too boring. Let’s play Dare.”
Everyone was surprised that Mamie would be interested in this seemingly juvenile game.
Maria asked, “What’s Dare?”
Mamie explained, “The rules are simple. The winner gets to ask the loser to do anything. If they can’t do it, they have to pick a bottle from these and drink it all in
one go. How’s that?”
Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words. They all felt that Mamie was prepared and ready for a showdown.
Jessica asked, “This game sounds exciting. Mamie, who do you want to team up with?”
Mamie extended her hand without hesitation and pointed, “I’ll play with her.”
She was pointing at Agnes.
