Chapter 316


    Chapter 316 I’ll Be Right Back


    Somewhere not far away from them, Mnie tried to plead her case by shouting in their direction at the


    top of her lungs, “Madam Nn, that’s not true! I’m dating Ben because I really like him!”


    Lara cast a nce at that woman to find her a looker and the type that could easily attract men.


    However, she was not the right one for her nephew regardless of how she really felt for him because it


    would be too much of an embarrassment for him to date Landon’s ex-girlfriend.


    Knowing what was in Lara’s mind, Ben secretly cursed Gianna for meddling in his business and he had


    no choice but to say something. “Aunt Lara, I had no idea because that girl has been lying to me too.”


    Lara, who stared at him icily, snapped, “Keep your mouth shut or I will have you chased out of this


    ce too!” Looking embarrassed, Ben kept his mouth shut obediently. Next, Mnie was hauled out of


    the vi by the bodyguards. It was only then did Ss turn to face Landon and rebuked, “You should


    have known better than to create a scene at your great-grandpa’s birthday dinner. Now, it’s about time


    you go upstairs and send him your wishes!” Intimidated by Ss’s aura as always, Landon quickly


    replied, “Yes, Uncle Ss!” With that, he made his way upstairs at a hurried pace. Lara too criticized


    Ben, “Why are you standing here doing nothing? Clean up the mess now!” Then, she started exining


    to the guests who had watched the entire drama unfold. “Everything is just a misunderstanding and it’s


    been solved now. Guys, please make yourself at home!” It was only then did the group of guests slowly


    disperse while discussing the drama in whispers at the same time. Somewhere nearby, Aleena


    exchanged a nce with Nicole, secretly hatching up ns to lure Gianna into drinking. When she


    happened to notice Alex and Hayden from the corner of her eyes, she pulled Nicole along as she


    approached them. She was sure Ss would bring Gianna to have a drink with the twoter because


    they were close friends. Therefore, all she needed to do was make sure Gianna got the ss of wine


    which was drugged. Just like what she expected, Ss indeed approached them together with Gianna


    not too long after that. Alex was a talkative person with a great sense of humor. However, he didn’t talk


    much during the event but he could convey a lot of stuff through his eyes. He was the person who


    understood Ss the best in the world. Throughout the many years they had been friends, they hadProperty ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    criticized each other because of the huge difference in their personalities, but they had never allowed it


    to affect their friendship. “Tsk, tsk! I must say Old Man Nn’s birthday dinner is really a very


    prestigious event because it’s graced with Doctor Aubrey’s attendance. Since you will be here for


    hours, how much will you charge for your consultation fee? Shouldn’t you give them a discount?”


    Gianna chuckled, “Won’t I be humiliating big shots like you guys if I give a discount?” Laughing, Alex


    quipped, “Just feel free to humiliate me because I don’t really care!” Ss, who couldn’t stand him, gave


    him a kick on his calf and criticized, “Do you actually realize how shameless you sound?” Alex looked


    unruffled and he red at him while snapping back, “Look at how unappreciative you are. Can’t you


    see that I’m trying to help you save some money?”


    Ss shot him a supercilious nce and countered, “Did I even ask for your help?” Alex grunted in


    displeasure andmented, “You’re just being ungrateful!” Sniggering, Hayden patted Alex’s shoulder


    and consoled, “You’re really wrong to think that Ss even needs your help to cut costs! | suggest that


    you help him spend his money instead!” Nicole chimed in with a gentle smile, “It won’t be your turn


    anytime soon to spend his money! I think you guys should help him take care of Doctor Aubrey


    instead.” Alex snorted in response and eyed Ss provocatively. “Do you need our help to take care of


    her?” Yet, from the threatening way he was staring at Ss, he seemed to be telling Ss that his girl


    was now in his hands. Ss, who ignored him, turned to face Gianna and said, “This patient isn’t in his


    right mind. You need to do everything you can to treat him and I’ll pay for his consultation fees!” Gianna


    couldn’t suppress the urge tough.


    It was only after some time did Alex realize he was alluding to him just now. “Damn it! You’re the one


    who isn’t in your right mind!”


    Ss couldn’t help but break into a grin. As he reached out to caress South’s head, he said, “Please


    wait for me here and I’ll be right back!”
