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 Cam 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 Cam


    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 Cam to have a drink with the


    twoter because they were close friends. Therefore, all she needed to do was make sure Cam got


    the ss of wine which was drugged. Just like what she expected, Ss indeed approached them


    together with Cam 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 had 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


    Brooklyn’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?”


    Cam 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! I 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 Brooklyn 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 Cam 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!”


    Cam 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!”
