Chapter 322 No Pushover
“Please watch your mouth!” Aleena let loose a loud guffaw before pointing at her accusingly. “You’re so cunning!
Did you trick me into drinking that glass of drugged drink just now?!”
With a frown on her forehead, Olivia stared back at her indifferently. Since Aleena had set the trap for her in the
first place, why couldn’t she use the same trap back on her?
She could never compare to her in terms of slyness. How could Aleena even have the face to accuse her of being
cunning when she was the one who drugged her drink in the first place?
She must be crazy! With her current condition, shouldn’t she put a stop to the scene so that she could leave and
get a man to settle her needs?
Wearing a dark expression, Eugene walked over to her and asked, “What happened?”
The moment Aleena saw him, tears immediately trickled down her face because she felt so aggrieved and terrified.
“Eugene, Olivia set a trap to sabotage me!”
Olivia curled the corners of her lips into a faint smile that came with a trace of disdain. However, she sounded
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinnocent when she spoke, “Miss Jones, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Aleena totally lost it due to the raging fury inside her. Pointing at Olivia, she chastised, “Why are you acting all
innocent after doing something like that? You knew your glass of wine was drugged long before you drank it. You
deliberately broke the plate so that you could make use of the time to swap the drugged drink with mine.
Otherwise, how can you stand on such a stable footing?”
Olivia found her statement rather hilarious. “Miss Jones, which glass of wine are you referring to? Do you mean the
one you passed it to me yourself?”
Aleena looked dumbfounded because in her fit of rage just now, she had forgotten about the fact that she was the
one who passed the glass of wine to Olivia. “It’s you who deliberately offered me the glass of drugged drink!”
Keeping her arms crossed in front of her chest, Olivia examined her as though she was a clown who was struggling
to break free from a hopeless situation. “Since you insist on saying so, I have no choice but to ask Mr. Nolan to
check the CCTV footage to have my innocence proved.”
Eugene, who was starting to understand the situation, eyed Olivia disbelievingly and asked, “Did she drug your
drink?”
Just as Olivia was about to answer him, Nicole dashed over to them out of the blue and wrapped her arms around
Aleena, who appeared disoriented. “Aleena! Aleena, you’re wasted, aren’t you?”
Burying her head in Nicole’s arms, Aleena complained, “Olivia sabotaged me!”
Nicole quickly supported her weight before she said, “Eugene, you guys should walk Doctor Maxwell out while I
bring Aleena away! She’s so drunk!” With that, she frantically hauled and dragged Aleena away.
In the meantime, Eugene’s face fell. “Wait a minute!”
Nicole, who had no choice but to stop moving, pleaded with him, “Eugene, she needs to lie down!”
At that moment, both Alex and Hayden already realized what the matter was all about because they had been
there at the table when it happened. However, they decided it was not the right time for them to voice their
thoughts.
Also, it would bring disgrace to the Nolan Family if they allowed Aleena to continue making a scene looking so
unkempt outside the villa.
Therefore, the two of them advised Eugene, “Forget it, you still have plenty of time to get to the bottom of this after
tonight. What’s more, she won’t be able to tell you anything now even if you insist on making her stay.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Just let her go. If she continues making a scene here, it’s your family who will suffer the embarrassment instead of
me,” Olivia opined.
At last, Eugene stopped voicing his objection and allowed Nicole to bring Aleena away.
A babble of voices soon broke out among the guests.
“What’s this whole thing about? Why can’t I understand a thing of what they said?”
“Seems like Aleena is behaving this way because Olivia drugged her drink!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Both of you have gotten it wrong! It was Aleena who wanted to drug Doctor
Maxwell but in the end, she ended up taking the glass that contained the drugged drink by accident.”
“In my opinion, Doctor Maxwell must have found out that her drink was drugged and that was why she decided to
swap it with Aleena’s!”
Their voices were loud enough to be heard by Eugene and he secretly agreed with the opinion offered by the last
guy because he knew his girlfriend was no pushover who would suffer silently when she was bullied.
Seeing that the matter had been solved, Olivia did not intend to stay on. “Mr. Nolan, we shall get going then.”
Despite feeling apologetic and reluctant to see her leave as well as having the urge to tell her everything in his
mind, Eugene managed to subdue all those emotions and said to her politely, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you an
explanation for what happened tonight.”
