Chapter 290 Her Rebound Guy
Damien nodded and called Lennon’s number. “Want to meet up for a drink tonight?”
Lennon replied immediately, “Where?”
“A bar.”
“Why did you ask to meet in such a rundown place?”
Lennon sat in a booth seat on the second floor. He frowned unhappily. “It’s smoky and depressing.”
They were at a small bar. Everything, from its facilities to the decorations, looked worn and
outdated.
Moreover, the stench of cigarettes hung in the air.
Lennon directed his annoyance at Damien and Cherise in the opposite seat. “Why did you two ask to meet in such a lousy place?”
“Damien, it’s not like you don’t have money. Didn’t you net tens of millions from your uncle recently?”
“Why make me come to this kind of place to drink?”
Lennon had a privileged upbringing. Even though he was later kicked out of the Belcourt family, he had never stepped foot into such a rundown place.
He felt defiled with every breath he took.
Damien smiled calmly. “Cherise wanted to come here.”
Cherise rolled her eyes at him.
How dare he dump the blame on me?
He’s the one who dragged me here when he found out that Lucy and Rodney would meet Rodney’s friends
here.
How could he now say that I wanted to come here?
I’m not interested in watching Lucy and Rodney.
Besides, Lennon doesn’t deserve Lucy.
Although Rodney is ugly, he’s at least considerate and gentle with Lucy.
Narrowing his eyes, Lennon pursed his l*ps. “Don’t try to fool me. A prim and proper girl like her

would never suggest to go to a bar.”
He finished a gla*s of beer and continued, “Tell me, what’s with this bar?”
“Are you planning to buy it, or are you planning to repurpose it for other things?”
A wave of rowdy male voices sounded at this moment.
“She’s incredible! Drink up!”
“Rodney, your girlfriend is amazing! She’s going to outdrink the rest of us!”
“She’s still standing even after so many gla*ses! I’m impressed!”
The men kept cheering rowdily.
Lennon put down his gla*s in annoyance. “This place is too noisy.”
He glanced at the lower floor without thinking.
A young woman in a white cropped top and ripped jeans immediately caught his eye. She stood. on a coffee table in the middle of a U-shaped couch, tilting her head back while holding a bottle to her l*ps. She gulped the beer until the bottle was empty.
Lennon would have sneered and regarded her with disdain if it was any other woman.
However, his heart clenched as his gaze landed on Lucy’s doll-like face.
She…
Why is she…
“Lucy is here with her boyfriend.”
Damien calmly poured a gla*s of lemon-infused water. “Cherise was worried about Lucy coming to such a place. That’s why she insisted on coming here. She did not want someone to take advantage of Lucy.”
Then, he gave the gla*s of lemon water to Cherise. “However, I’m beginning to feel tired. I don’t want to keep watching her.”
His voice carried a playful tone, “So…”
He looked at Lennon. “Can I leave this task to you?”
Lennon frowned and stared at Lucy. He did not look away even for a second.
She stood amid a group of men, drinking one gla*s of beer after another.
Lucy walked away from the table and entered the bathroom.

The group of men began to laugh.
“Rodney, your girlfriend is gorgeous.”
“But don’t let down your guard yet. She might be using you as a rebound.”
