Chapter 316: Triplet’s Mighty Mom Chapter 316

Chapter 316 I'll Be Right Back

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

the top of her lungs, “Madam Nolan, that's not true! I'm dating Ben because I really like him!” Lara

cast a glance 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 Camila 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

place too!” Looking embarrassed, Ben kept his mouth shut obediently. Next, Melanie was hauled

out of the villa by the bodyguards. It was only then did Silas 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 Silas's aura as always, Landon

quickly replied, “Yes, Uncle Silas!” 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 explaining 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 glance with Nicole, secretly hatching up plans to lure

Camila 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 Silas would bring Camila to have a

drink with the two later because they were close friends. Therefore, all she needed to do was make

sure Camila got the glass of wine which was drugged. Just like what she expected, Silas indeed

approached them together with Camila 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 Silas 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 Nolan'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?”

Camila 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!” Silas, 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 glared 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?” Silas shot him a supercilious glance

and countered, "Did I even ask for your help?” Alex grunted in displeasure and lamented, “You're

just being ungrateful!” Sniggering, Hayden patted Alex's shoulder and consoled, “You're really

wrong to think that Silas 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 Silas provocatively. “Do you need our help to take care of her?”

Yet, from the threatening way he was staring at Silas, he seemed to be telling Silas that his girl was

now in his hands. Silas, who ignored him, turned to face Camila 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!”

Camila couldn't suppress the urge to laugh. 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!” Silas 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!”
