Chapter 354 Argument
Nicole defended herself, “Aleena, we have been friends for so many years. How can you doubt me like
that? I didn’t want to send you home because I was trying to help you hide from your parents and was
worried they would find out. I said that I would find you a man but you refused, saying that you wanted
to stay pure for Silas. That was why I suggested you lock yourself in a room. As for Roberts pouncing
on you, isn’t that normal? He’s a playboy. He would pounce on any girl he sees, not to mention he has
been coveting you for such a long time. You can’t just say that I planned all of this based on this point. I
was just trying to help you!”
Aleena nodded. “Fine, you’ve convinced me on this matter. Last night, you kept dropping hints for me
to get Gianna drunk. I suppose you also know that I drugged her drink, right? But she switched her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtglass with mine. I was worried I would hurt myself so I lowered my head and didn’t notice what she did,
but I can’t believe that you didn’t see it too. You let me drink that glass of wine without stopping me.
Were you hoping to see me make a fool of myself?”
Nicole said helplessly, “You really are wrong about this. I really didn’t see the switch. We were all
distracted by the plate when it smashed. Gianna kept asking you if you were hurt, and I was worried
about you so I was looking at you too. I didn’t notice when she switched your glasses at all. If you don’t
believe me, you can ask Alex and Hayden who were with us at the same table.”
Aleena had a feeling that Nicole secretly had a role in this matter, but her explanation seemed
legitimate.
But in the end, she could only blame herself for being dumb. Who else could she blame?
Even if Nicole had plotted for this to happen on her, it was her own fault for not knowing her true colors.
She wouldn’t rely on her too much anymore in the future and she had to keep an eye on her. She then
walked slowly to her bed and sat down. Looking up at Nicole, she asked, “Have you always been close
with Aunt Lara?” Seeing that Aleena had calmed down a little, Nicole walked over and sat on the sofa.
“Don’t you get along with her? I can’t say that I am very close to her either, but I will greet her if I see
her. After all, she’s an elder and also Silas’s stepmother. Even if I don’t like her, 1 need to show her due
respect for Silas’s sake, don’t I?” She rolled her eyes.
Nicole smiled. “Last night, Aunt Lara seemed to be very satisfied with you. She even said she would
help you get Ben!” “Me and him?” Aleena scoffed. “Even if he was the last man on Earth, I would not be
with him!” She had heard about what happened from her parents-he had actually connected the
surveillance video to the living room and wanted to force her to marry him. They could keep dreaming!
Nicole just smiled, not saying a word. She stayed for a while and left after comforting her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAleena lay in bed until night time. Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and she picked it up. It was a call from
an unknown number so she answered it curiously, thereafter she heard Xavier’s voice. “Miss Jones, it’s
me, Xavier Dante. President Nolan is looking for you.”
Hearing this, Aleena was filled with joy. It was a physiological reaction. Even though she knew that
Silas wasn’t looking for her for anything good, but hearing his name made her happy. If he was looking
for her, she would be even happier. She tried to control herself and asked calmly, “Why is he looking for
me?” Xavier said professionally. “I’m not sure about that. It would be better if you come over. I’ll send
the address to your phone.” “Fine” Aleena answered. A short while after she hung up the call, a
location was sent to her phone. She looked at the location carefully. Where’s this place?
