Chapter 317 Suffering the Repercussion
South nodded at him in acknowledgment Silas then glanced at his gang of friends and urged, “Please
be friendlier to Gianna!” Aleena responded instantly by shifting to one side to make space for Gianna.
“Come sit here!” After thanking her, Gianna 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 guy’s 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.”
Aleena 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

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 Gianna and his
son. Whoever thinks otherwise will be deemed the villain!”
While he was explaining himself, he turned to look at Gianna, who was glancing at South’s lips which
were shining with a layer of oil from the food he was wolfing up. “I 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 Gianna. “Well, let me drink a round with you guys as my
punishment!”
Gianna 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, Gianna 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 drinking it. Either way was fine.
But this time, she felt the need to teach Aleena a lesson and let her 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, Gianna quickly put the wine glass down and bent down looking like she intended to

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 Gianna 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!” Gianna 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. At
the same time, Gianna inched her glass closer to her nose to make sure no one had tampered with its
content before drinking it.
The moment Aleena saw her dunkit, a sense of relief swept over her.
