NovelEnglishChapter 1173:
But things took a turn when Juliet’s whole family showed up and insisted on treating Cliff to a meal as an apology
for Juliet stepping on Laney’s toes.
Philip had previously instructed him to handle the Foster family’s matters properly. Considering how Juliet had
helped Madison before and how respectful the whole Foster family currently was, Cliff couldn’t turn them down.
As a result, Cliff ended up drinking too much, and by the the left the table, his head was pounding. Feeling
his presence in this state at Laney’s competition would be pointless, he asked Madison to tell Laney not to
expect him.
Drunk, Cliff found himself later sleeping in a hotel room.
When Cliff woke up, it was already late. He checked his watch and noted the competition had ended a while ago.

Juliet wasn’t blind. She knew Cliff's politeness was just a nice way of turning her down.
Today's meal, meant to be an apology, was really just a setup against Cliff.
Cliff wasn't interested in her, but Juliet liked him a lot. He had the looks and skills she was looking for, and with
her nearing thirty, she didn’t want to delay marriage any longer.
Juliet shifted the topic. “Laney’s
competition just wrapped up. There
should be a celebratiohloright. Since
ybu ide because of the
