Chapter 181
Nadine almost drove Avery mad. The latter had previously sworn to her that she was done, tired, and would never care about Brad again.
And now? At just a phone call, she wanted to rush over and be a minion. How ridiculous!
If it weren’t for the fact that Nadine was her good friend, Avery would have loved to smash Nadine’s head
open to see what was inside.
Being scolded by Avery made Nadine snap out of it.
She stopped changing clothes, took off the sweater she had just put on, and hung it back on the hanger,
She then smiled at Avery in an attempt to appease her. “I’m sorry, babe, I won’t do this again. Please don’t be mad at me. I promise not to go see him.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, she was immensely grateful to Avery. If it weren’t for her scolding, who knew what foolish thing she might have done?
What did Brad’s life or death have to do with her?
Avery, noticing Nadine heeding her advice, nodded in satisfaction. “At least you still listen to reason. It shows you still have a brain.
“Don’t care about that scumbag. He’s definitely made a bet with his friends to mess with you. Come on! Let’s play some games. I’ll help you rank up!”
The two women went arm in arm to Avery’s bedroom, took out their phones, and started gaming.
A few minutes later, Nadine had completely forgotten about Brad.
Fearful of interrupting her game, she put her phone on bedtime mode. That way, no matter who called or texted her, if she didn’t open the apps, they wouldn’t be able to reach her.
Nadine immersed herself in the world of the game and got into the groove. She had completely forgotten about Brad.
Meanwhile, Alex, who had been waiting for Nadine to pick Brad up, couldn’t bear it any longer.
He checked the time of Nadine’s call earlier. It had been over two hours. Even if she was moving at a snail’s pace, she should have arrived by now. Yet, he still hadn’t seen her.
Even Jean felt it was getting late. She anxiously urged him to find a nearby hotel for Brad to stay at
“Alex, given Brad’s current state, going home is out of the question. We might as well find a hotel nearby where he can stay. You can leave once you’ve settled us down.”
Shocked, Alex shifted his gaze toward her. “Damn, are you serious? What do you mean by settling you
down? Who do you think you are? Why do you get to order me around?
“To tell you the truth, I own this bar. There’s a presidential suite upstairs prepared for me. There’s no need
for us to stay in a hotel.
“You look like a decent lady. How can you talk about going to a hotel with a man so casually? You’re such
“I’ve seen plenty of sluts like you! Who do you think you are to order me around? Get out of here! Damn it. If you weren’t a woman, I would have beaten you into a pulp!”
Jean was terrified and intimidated by his constant swearing. She was speechless for a long time, and her pretty face turned red with anger.
*Alex, h–how can you bully me? Go to hell! I just want Brad to rest well. Why are you talking nonsense here?
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Alex couldn’t contain his anger. Without a second thought, he struggled
to help Brad up. “The slutty stench in this room is too strong. I’m taking Brad out for some fresh air.”
Jean was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She pointed at him and parted her lips but couldn’t utter a
word.
Then she saw him laboriously helping the drunken Brad up. Worried that Brad might fall, she hurriedly supported his arm and helped Alex guide Brad out of the private room.
