Chapter 180 Provocation
The familiar joke managed to amuse the guests and made everyone laugh, thereby lightening up
the atmosphere. âCome on, everyone! Let's have a toast!â Camila raised her glass, but Silas snatched
her glass again and stared at Brian to imply something. âThere is no use regretting things that were
meant to happen. Anyway, Camila has drunk more than enough, so I'll drink on her behalf.â
Nonetheless, Brian only stayed still and glared at Silas who wasn't bothered at all as he continued
what he had been doing. No one else dared to mess with Silas anymore as they finished the
ceremony without a hitch. Soon, Silas approached a waiter and ordered some tea for Oliver. âHere.
You should feel better after drinking this.â
Meanwhile, Camila took a peek at those sitting around the table, feeling a little embarrassed as she
didn't know how to turn them down. Therefore, she decided to drink the tea without much
hesitation. On the other hand, Kate noticed Melanie leaning forward to Landon, seemingly
whispering something to him. In the next moment, she was seen leaning even closer to the man
with a bashful look on her face, thus Kate couldn't help but think they were flirting with each other.
Instantly, Kate was overwhelmed by depression, so she decided to walk away to the restroom to
have some solitude. However, it wasn't long until Melanie came in as well. Deep down, Kate didnât
really like this lady, not only because she was Landon's
girlfriend, but also she knew they wouldn't get along with each other well. After all, it was easy for
two women with clashing natures to fly into a rage as soon as either of them said the wrong word
Nonetheless, Melanie was deemed to be a honey-tongued lady who was good at winning a manâs
heart by flirting. On the other hand, Kate was the total opposite as she was impulsive and ill-
tempered. She would even get physical at times when she found herself at odds with someone.
Therefore, it was understandable why Melanie's meek nature would be the preferred type by men to
her headstrong character. âAre you alright, Katie?â Melanie caringly asked when she saw Kate
standing near the basin top. âI'm fine.â Kate shook her head. âYou don't look so good. I guess you
must've probably drunk a little more than you can handle,â Melanie worriedly replied with a pair of
furrowed brows. âIt's no big deal. My cheeks flush every time I drink,â said Kate who was deliberately
touching her face.
In a caring manner, Melanie gave her a piece of advice, âYou need to stop drinking then. Men aren't
going to like how you look right now.â Her words made Kate knit her eyebrows. âWhat does that
have to do with drinking? Look at Camila. Men like her even though she drinks. As the saying goes,
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so
everyone is entitled to his own feelings and opinions.â
Frustrated, Kate turned around and headed toward the exit, but soon heard Melanie sniggering. âI
don't know how the others feel, but I do know how Landon feels.â Kate didn't want to listen to her
nonsense, but it seemed that she wasn't in control of her own legs as she stopped in her tracks and
looked back in curiosity.
At this time, Melanie was seen fixing her makeup with lipstick in front of the mirror for a while. After
that, she placed her lipstick back into her purse and turned around slowly, winking at her in
mischief. âI'm his cup of tea, the type that he likes. We usually do it three to four times every night
until I beg him to stop. His performance in bed is the best I've ever seen.â Melanie added with a
smile, âLandon told me he is not interested in any other woman because only I can turn him on. So,
don't you think he is crazy over me?â
Melanie's words made Kate's blood boil with anger as she was now certain that this was an attempt
to provoke her. With a glacial expression, she said, âI don't know whether he likes you, but I do
know that you're disgusting and shameless.â
