NovelEnglishChapter 317 Suffering the Repercussion South nodded at him in acknowledgment. Silas then glanced at his gang of friends and urged, “Please
be friendlier to Camila!” Aleena responded instantly by shifting to one side to make space for Camila.
“Come sit here!”
After thanking her, Camila took the seat with some doubts in her mind, thinking that it was abnormal for
Aleena to behave so amiably toward her.
Silas only left after leaving some reminders to them.
Alex adopted a more serious attitude once he left. “I suppose he will be too occupied tonight to have
time for you, so the two of you can join us. Feel free to tell me anything you guys would like to have
and I will get the food here.” Swaying the wine glass in her hand, Aleena taunted, “Do you even need to
be so attentive while she might be even more familiar with this place than you?”
Alex retorted, “I’m just trying to be a gentleman.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAleena teased him, “For other guys, that might be a very gentlemanly gesture but your current level of
attentiveness makes you seem like you are harboring some ulterior motive. You’d better be careful or
Silas might teach you a lesson!” Alex knitted his brows slightly and protested, “Hey, watch your words
because we have a kid here with us! I don’t have anything else in mind other than the pure intention of
taking care of Camila and his son. Whoever thinks otherwise will be deemed the villain!”
While he was explaining himself, he turned to look at Camila, who was glancing at South’s lips which
were shining with a layer of oil from the food he was wolfing up.” don’t think there is any issue with that
at all!” she chuckled.
“Seems like you guys are trying to say that I’m a villain!” Aleena huffed.
Alex snorted, “What do you think? You should punish yourself by downing your glass!” Aleena
summoned a housekeeper over and took a glass of wine which she handed to Camila. “Well, let me
drink a round with you guys as my punishment!”
Camila had long been keeping her guard up after noticing Aleena’s abnormal behavior. However, since
she was treating her in such a friendly manner, she had no reason to pull a long face at her considering
the occasion.
“You really don’t have to punish yourself and I don’t need you to apologize to me either.”
Holding the glass of wine, Aleena stared at her and suggested, “Can I offer you a toast then?”
Deep down inside, Camila felt amused as she wondered whether Aleena was really this forgetful. She
was actually offering a toast to her despite the fact that they had just had a row with each other several
days ago. Something was definitely fishy! Moving her nose closer to the wine glass, she managed to
catch a whiff of a barely noticeable smell apart from the smell of wine, which was similar to the one she
caught in her wine glass during the cocktail party last time. For some reason, she felt slightly pissed as
she wondered if Aleena thought that she would be stupid enough to fall for the same trick again. Prior
to this, she would have just poured the wine down the drain or pretended to spill it accidentally to avoid

have a taste of her own medicine. Therefore, she turned her body to another side and using her arm,
she pushed the plate in front of her onto the floor. The loud sound of the plate breaking into pieces
caught everyone’s attention. As Aleena saw the broken ceramic pieces just next to her feet, she bent
down to make sure she was not injured.
Feigning shock, Camila quickly put the wine glass down and bent down looking like she intended to
clean up the mess. Alex frantically stopped her from doing so. “Don’t touch it because you might get a
cut! I’ll get someone here to clean it.”
He then summoned two housekeepers over who settled the mess within several minutes.
The night went on and Camila successfully swapped her glass with Aleena’s during the mess
However, she didn’t try to egg her on to drink it because she wanted to give her another chance. As
long as Aleena didn’t try to sabotage her, she wouldn’t suffer the backlash herself.
To her disappointment, Aleena was so keen to see her embarrass herself that she once again lifted her
wine glass not too long after that. “Come on, let’s finally have this drink!” Camila was amused by her
eagerness deep down inside. “You’re right. You weren’t injured by the shards, are you?” “Nope.” With
that, Aleena tipped her glass of wine slightly in her direction before downing its content
