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, Gianna 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, Silas 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.

Gianna curled the corners of her lips into a faint smile that came with a trace of disdain. However, she
sounded innocent 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 Gianna, 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?” Gianna 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 Gianna. “It’s you who
deliberately offered me the glass of drugged drink!” Keeping her arms crossed in front of her chest,
Gianna 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.”
Silas, who was starting to understand the situation, eyed Gianna disbelievingly and asked, “Did she
drug your drink?”
Just as Gianna 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, “Gianna sabotaged me!” Nicole quickly supported her
weight before she said, “Silas, you guys should walk Doctor Aubrey out while I bring Aleena away!
She’s so drunk!” With that, she frantically hauled and dragged Aleena away. In the meantime, Silas’s
face fell. “Wait a minute!” Nicole, who had no choice but to stop moving, pleaded with him, “Silas, 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 Silas, “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.” “Just let her go. If she continues making a scene here, it’s your family who will suffer the
embarrassment instead of me,” Gianna opined.

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 Gianna drugged her drink!” “What nonsense are you talking about? Both
of you have gotten it wrong! It was Aleena who wanted to drug Doctor Aubrey but in the end, she
ended up taking the glass that contained the drugged drink by accident.” “In my opinion, Doctor Aubrey
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 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, Gianna 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, Silas managed to subdue all those emotions and said to her
politely. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you an explanation for what happened tonight”
