Chapter 354 Argument Nicole defended herself, “Aleena, we have been friends for so many years. How can you doubt me like
that? I didn’t want to send you home because I was trying to help you hide from your parents and was
worried they would find out. I said that I would find you a man but you refused, saying that you wanted
to stay pure for Silas. That was why I suggested you lock yourself in a room. As for Roberts pouncing
on you, isn’t that normal? He’s a playboy. He would pounce on any girl he sees, not to mention he has
been coveting you for such a long time. You can’t just say that I planned all of this based on this point. I
was just trying to help you!” Aleena nodded. “Fine, you’ve convinced me on this matter. Last night, you
kept dropping hints for me to get Camila drunk. I suppose you also know that I drugged her drink, right?

didn’t notice what she did, but I can’t believe that you didn’t see it too. You let me drink that glass of
wine without stopping me. Were you hoping to see me make a fool of myself?” Nicole said helplessly,
“You really are wrong about this. I really didn’t see the switch. We were all distracted by the plate when
it smashed. Camila kept asking you if you were hurt, and I was worried about you so I was looking at
you too. I didn’t notice when she switched your glasses at all. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Alex
and Hayden who were with us at the same table.”
Aleena had a feeling that Nicole secretly had a role in this matter, but her explanation seemed
legitimate. But in the end, she could only blame herself for being dumb. Who else could she blame?
Even if Nicole had plotted for this to happen on her, it was her own fault for not knowing her true colors.
She wouldn’t rely on her too much anymore in the future and she had to keep an eye on her. She then
walked slowly to her bed and sat down. Looking up at Nicole, she asked, “Have you always been close
with Aunt Lara?” Seeing that Aleena had calmed down a little, Nicole walked over and sat on the sofa.
“Don’t you get along with her? I can’t say that I am very close to her either, but I will greet her if I see
her. After all, she’s an elder and also Silas’s stepmother. Even if I don’t like her, I need to show her due
respect for Silas’s sake, don’t I?” She rolled her eyes. Aleena pouted. “It’s exactly because she is
Silas’s stepmother that I dislike her. She’s so pretentious.” Nicole smiled. “Last night, Aunt Lara
seemed to be very satisfied with you. She even said she would help you get Ben!”

She had heard about what happened from her parents-he had actually connected the surveillance
video to the living room and wanted to force her to marry him. They could keep dreaming! Nicole just
smiled, not saying a word. She stayed for a while and left after comforting her. Aleena lay in bed until
night time. Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and she picked it up. It was a call from an unknown number
so she answered it curiously, thereafter she heard Xavier’s voice. “Miss Jones, it’s me, Xavier Dante.
President Nolan is looking for you.” Hearing this, Aleena was filled with joy. It was a physiological
reaction. Even though she knew that Silas wasn’t looking for her for anything good, but hearing his
name made her happy. If he was looking for her, she would be even happier. She tried to control
herself and asked calmly, “Why is he looking for me?” Xavier said professionally, “I’m not sure about
that. It would be better if you come over. I’ll send the address to your phone.” “Fine,” Aleena answered.
A short while after she hung up the call, a location was sent to her phone. She looked at the location
carefully. Where’s this place?
