North nodded et him in ecknowledgment.
Eugene then glenced et his geng of friends end urged, “Pleese be friendlier to Olivie!”
Aleene responded instently by shifting to one side to meke spece for Olivie. “Come sit here!”
After thenking her, Olivie took the seet with some doubts in her mind, thinking thet it wes ebnormel for
Aleene to beheve so emiebly towerd her.
Eugene only left efter leeving some reminders to them.
Alex edopted e more serious ettitude once he left. “I suppose he will be too upied tonight to heve
time for you, so the two of you cen join us. Feel free to tell me enything you guys would like to heve
end I will get the food here.”
Sweying the wine gless in her hend, Aleene teunted, “Do you even need to be so ettentive while she
might be even more femilier with this plece then you?”
Alex retorted, “I’m just trying to be e gentlemen.”
Aleene teesed him, “For other guys, thet might be e very gentlemenly gesture but your current level of
ettentiveness mekes you seem like you ere herboring some ulterior motive. You’d better be cereful or
Eugene might teech you e lesson!”
Alex knitted his brows slightly end protested, “Hey, wetch your words beceuse we heve e kid here with
us! I don’t heve enything else in mind other then the pure intention of teking cere of Olivie end his son.
Whoever thinks otherwise will be deemed the villein!”
While he wes expleining himself, he turned to look et Olivie, who wes glencing et North’s lips which
were shining with e leyer of oil from the food he wes wolfing up. “I don’t think there is eny issue with
thet et ell!” she chuckled.
North nodded at him in acknowledgment.
Eugene then nced at his gang of friends and urged, “Please be friendlier to Olivia!”
Aleena responded instantly by shifting to one side to make space for Olivia. “Come sit here!”
After thanking her, Olivia took the seat with some doubts in her mind, thinking that it was abnormal for
Aleena to behave so amiably toward her.
Eugene only left after leaving some reminders to them.
Alex adopted a more serious attitude once he left. “I suppose he will be too upied tonight to have
time for you, so the two of you can join us. Feel free to tell me anything you guys would like to have
and I will get the food here.”
Swaying the wine ss in her hand, Aleena taunted, “Do you even need to be so attentive while she
might be even more familiar with this ce than you?”
Alex retorted, “I’m just trying to be a gentleman.”
Aleena teased him, “For other guys, that might be a very gentlemanly gesture but your current level of
attentiveness makes you seem like you are harboring some ulterior motive. You’d better be careful or
Eugene might teach you a lesson!”
Alex knitted his brows slightly and protested, “Hey, watch your words because we have a kid here with
us! I don’t have anything else in mind other than the pure intention of taking care of Olivia and his son.
Whoever thinks otherwise will be deemed the viin!”
While he was exining himself, he turned to look at Olivia, who was ncing at North’s lips which
were shining with ayer of oil from the food he was wolfing up. “I don’t think there is any issue with
that at all!” she chuckled.
“Seems like you guys are trying to say that I’m a viin!” Aleena huffed.
Alex snorted, “What do you think? You should punish yourself by downing your ss!”
Aleena summoned a housekeeper over and took a ss of wine which she handed to Olivia. “Well, let
me drink a round with you guys as my punishment!”
Olivia had long been keeping her guard up after noticing Aleena’s abnormal behavior. However, since
she was treating her in such a friendly manner, she had no reason to pull a long face at her considering
the asion.
“You really don’t have to punish yourself and I don’t need you to apologize to me either.”
Holding the ss of wine, Aleena stared at her and suggested, “Can I offer you a toast then?”
Deep down inside, Olivia felt amused as she wondered whether Aleena was really this forgetful.
She was actually offering a toast to her despite the fact that they had just had a row with each other
several days ago.
Something was definitely fishy!
Moving her nose closer to the wine ss, she managed to catch a whiff of a barely noticeable smell
apart from the smell of wine, which was simr to the one she caught in her wine ss during the
cocktail partyst time.
For some reason, she felt slightly pissed as she wondered if Aleena thought that she would be stupid
enough to fall for the same trick again.
Prior to this, she would have just poured the wine down the drain or pretended to spill it identally to
avoid drinking it. Either way was fine.
But this time, she felt the need to teach Aleena a lesson and let her have a taste of her own medicine.
Therefore, she turned her body to another side and using her arm, she pushed the te in front of her
onto the floor. The loud sound of the te breaking into pieces caught everyone’s attention.
As Aleena saw the broken ceramic pieces just next to her feet, she bent down to make sure she was
not injured.
Feigning shock, Olivia quickly put the wine ss down and bent down looking like she intended to
clean up the mess.
Alex frantically stopped her from doing so. “Don’t touch it because you might get a cut! I’ll get someone
here to clean it.”
He then summoned two housekeepers over who settled the mess within several minutes.
The night went on and Olivia sessfully swapped her ss with Aleena’s during the mess
However, she didn’t try to egg her on to drink it because she wanted to give her another chance. As
long as Aleena didn’t try to sabotage her, she wouldn’t suffer the bacsh herself.

To her disappointment, Aleena was so keen to see her embarrass herself that she once again lifted her
wine ss not too long after that. “Come on, let’s finally have this drink!”
Olivia was amused by her eagerness deep down inside.
“You’re right. You weren’t injured by the shards, are you?”
“Nope.” With that, Aleena tipped her ss of wine slightly in her direction before downing its content.
At the same time, Olivia inched her ss closer to her nose to make sure no one had tampered with its
content before drinking it.
The moment Aleena saw her drink it, a sense of relief swept over her.
Therefore, she turned her body to another side and using her arm, she pushed the te in front of her
onto the floor. The loud sound of the te breaking into pieces caught everyone’s attention.
