In a playful tone, Paige instigated, “Drinking alone is no fun, Mr. Jordan. You should get Mr. Pierce
to join you!”
She was about to pour a drink for Alex as she spoke.
Alex covered his glass swiftly. “Why don’t you drink with your employer then? Are you scared?”
Paige’s lips twitched. “I don’t deserve to drink with my employer in view of my status. You’re his
friend. Why won’t you drink with him?”
“It seems that you’re sensible enough to know that Evan won’t drink with you. Hey, how about I
drink with you then?” Alex was smiling in his eyes as he looked at Paige scornfully.
His gaze looked like a provocation to Paige!

Paige gnashed her teeth and braced herself.
“Sure! I’m going to get you drunk tonight!”
Caroline was rendered speechless. How did they end up drinking while in the middle of an argument?
With a soft sigh, Caroline picked up her glass and strolled to the hotel’s backyard. She preferred the
calm there, away from the crowd.

Caroline answered calmly, “Is there a point to ask? You’re the one who decides if you want to tell,
right?
Evan sneered “How can you consider yourself a mother when you don’t even ask about your
children? What sets you apart from Daniella?
As soon as Daniella’s name came up, Caroline was filled with fury, her gaze locked onto Evan’s
face.
“Who are you to criticize me? Why make me bring up the past and argue? What sets me apart from
Daniella?
“If you hadn’t doubted my behavior without reason before, I wouldn’t be in this helpless situation
now. And how are you any different when you don’t even know about Axel’s condition?”
Evan’s expression turned solemn.
The atmosphere was tense, and they stopped speaking.
