Chapter 322 No Pushover
"Please watch your mouth!â Aleena let loose a loud guffaw before pointing at her accusingly. âYou're
so cunning! Did you trick me into drinking that glass of drugged drink just now?!â With a frown on
her forehead, Camila stared back at her indifferently. Since Aleena had set the trap for her in the
first place, why couldnât 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, Silas walked over to her and asked, âWhat happened?â The
moment Aleena saw him, tears immediately trickled down her face because she felt so aggrieved
and terrified. âSilas, Camila set a trap to sabotage me!â Camila curled the corners of her lips into a
faint smile that came with a trace of disdain. However, she sounded innocent when she spoke, âMiss
Jones, I really donât understand what you're talking about.â Aleena totally lost it due to the raging
fury inside her. Pointing at Camila, she chastised, âWhy 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?â Camila found her statement rather
hilarious. âMiss Jones, which glass of wine are you referring to? Do you mean the one you passed it
to me yourself?â 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 Camila. âIt's you who
deliberately offered me the glass of drugged drink!â Keeping her arms crossed in front of her chest,
Camila examined her as though she was a clown who was struggling to break free from a hopeless
situation. âSince you insist on saying so, I have no choice but to ask Mr. Nolan to check the CCTV
footage to have my innocence proved.â Silas, who was starting to understand the situation, eyed
Camila disbelievingly and asked, âDid she drug your drink?â
Just as Camila was about to answer him, Nicole dashed over to them out of the blue and wrapped
her arms around Aleena, who appeared disoriented. âAleenal Aleena, you're wasted, aren't you?â
Burying her head in Nicole's arms, Aleena complained, âCamila sabotaged me!â Nicole quickly
supported her weight before she said, âSilas, you guys should walk Doctor Brooklyn out while I
bring Aleena away! She's so drunk!â With that, she frantically hauled and dragged Aleena away. In
the meantime, Silas's face fell. âWait a minute!â
Nicole, who had no choice but to stop moving, pleaded with him, âSilas, she needs to lie down!â
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 Silas, âForget 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.â âJust let her go. If she continues making a scene here, it's your family
who will suffer the embarrassment instead of me,â Camila opined. At last, Silas stopped voicing his
objection and allowed Nicole to bring Aleena away. A babble of voices soon broke out among the
guests. âWhat's this whole thing about? Why can't I understand a thing of what they said?â âSeems
like Aleena is behaving this way because Camila drugged her drink!â âWhat nonsense are you
talking about? Both of you have gotten it wrong! It was Aleena who wanted to drug Doctor
Brooklyn but in the end, she ended up taking the glass that contained the drugged drink by
accident.â âIn my opinion, Doctor Brooklyn must have found out that her drink was drugged and
that was why she decided to swap it with Aleenaâs!â Their voices were loud enough to be heard by
Silas 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, Camila did not intend to stay on. âMr. Nolan, we shall get going then.â Despite feeling
apologetic and reluctant to see her leave as well as having the urge to tell her everything in his
mind, Silas managed to subdue all those emotions and said to her politely, âDon't worry, I'll give
you an explanation for what happened tonight.â
