Chapter 229 Is It Jealousy?
Her attitude ranged from indifferent to indifferent.
Looking at the Effy’s family couple’s eyes, there is no longer any trace of emotion.
Aletta stood up after finishing speaking, her eyes were deep, and she said to the two of them, “Don’t come to me again! Because, you have no right to ask me to make any concessions for Gail, she is not worthy!”
After leaving these words, she turned around, paid the money, and left directly without any nostalgia for the two of them.
Abner and Luke looked at the back of her resolutely leaving, their faces were very ugly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
After Aletta came out of the small restaurant, it was no surprise that she was in a particularly bad mood.
She doesn’t understand why so many people like Gail?
Why is everyone on her side? Anyone can step on her!
Is it because Gail is better at acting?
So, I deserve to be disgusted by others?
Aletta was depressed and had no intention of working, so she didn’t go back to the Hill Group, but called Flora and told her to go to the MJ club for a drink!
Aletta herself had had a few drinks by the time Flora arrived.
She could see that Aletta was in a bad mood, she frowned, and walked over to her and sat down.
“What’s wrong with this? Just drink it in broad daylight?”
She removed the empty bottle from the table, opened a new bottle, and poured herself a glass.
Aletta thought she would be able to digest it slowly, but when Flora asked, she still felt aggrieved. “Today, Abner and Luke came to see me.”
“Gail’s biological parents?”
Flora asked.
“Well…”
Aletta nodded and told Flora what they were looking for.
Flora was so angry that she couldn’t help but slapped the table,” Gail is still shameless? Jason doesn’t marry her, it’s none of your business? You dare to say anything, it’s shameless!”
After cursing a few words, she still felt puzzled, and stood up abruptly, “No, I can’t swallow this breath, let’s go, go and teach that shameless bastard a lesson! See if I don’t tear her mouth apart!”
Flora said that the wind is the rain, she pulled her, and immediately went to find Gail.
“Forget it…”
Aletta stopped the person, “That kind of person, you don’t mind dirtying your hands when you shoot her?”
Flora was furious, and felt sorry for Aletta even more.
She turned around, hugged Aletta, patted her on the back, and comforted her like coaxing two children,” Alta, don’t be sad.”
Aletta shook her head, “I’m not sad, I just feel sick, it affects my mood…”
Flora nodded in agreement, “It’s really disgusting, but it’s not worth wasting your heart on them. But since we’re here, I’ll drink with you!”
As she spoke, she poured another glass of wine.
The two drank slowly like this.
Halfway through, the door of the box was opened.
As soon as the two looked up, they saw the figure of John Holt!
The people under his command came to report just now, saying that Aletta came
Dividing into pages now alone, booked a box, and was drinking.
John Holt was a little worried, so he put down what he was dealing with and planned to come over to have a look.
After opening the door and entering, the tip of the nose rushed into a smell of alcohol.
He walked over slowly, looked at Aletta, and asked, “Why don’t you come over and ‘say hello?”
Then, he turned his head and greeted Flora.
The two are also very close because of Aletta’s relationship, so Flora quickly nodded as a response.
When Aletta saw him, her expression didn’t change much, and she said, “I was worried that you were too busy, so I didn’t bother you.”
Hearing this, John Holt raised his brows slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and said, “No matter how busy you are, you have to spare time to accompany you.”
He sat next to him as he spoke.
Aletta didn’t say anything, and poured him a glass of wine.
John Holt took it, but didn’t drink it, he just played with it in his hand, his slender white fingers kept turning the glass, staring at her.
He could see that Aletta didn’t seem very happy, her brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.
He couldn’t help asking, “What happened?”
Aletta kept her emotions calm and shook her head in response, “No, it’s just that I’ve been busy for too long, so it’s rare to come out and relax.”
In fact, after a while, her mood has improved a lot, so there is no need to mention that kind of bad thing again.
Seeing that she didn’t want to say more, John Holt didn’t feel comfortable asking more, so he responded, took a sip of his wine, and then chatted with the two of them.
An afternoon passed like this.
John Holt sent someone to bring dinner, and the three of them ate and drank, and continued to have a drink.
At eight o’clock in the evening. Aletta got up and let out a breath, as if she wanted to send out all the bad emotions of the day from the bottom of her heart along with the smell of alcohol,
“Let’s go, stop drinking, and go home to accompany the children.”
She was about to leave, still walking with a limp.
John Holt narrowed his eyes and immediately asked, “What’s the matter with your leg?”
“When I went to play with Flora on the weekend, I accidentally dropped it.”
Upon hearing this, John Holt glanced at Flora.
Flora calmly raised her hand and said, “It’s true, look, I’m hurt too.”
“Talent.”
John Holt looked at the two speechlessly.
They are so grown up and still wrestle, Lucas and Lyla can’t do that, right?
Shaking his head helplessly, he followed the two out of the box.
Outside the door, there are bodyguards guarding.
John Holt said, “I’ll ask the driver to take you back.”
Neither Aletta nor Flora had a problem.
The three walked out side by side.
Because Flora was drinking, she couldn’t walk steadily, so John Holt held Aletta’s arm and helped her walk.
Aletta regarded him as a friend, and didn’t mind, letting others support her.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the elevator door, he ran into Jason head–on !
Jason is here to see a client tonight.
Unexpectedly, I saw this scene.
He frowned slightly, walked out of the elevator, stared at Aletta, and asked, “Why are you here?”
As he spoke, his eyes flicked to the arm John Holt was holding on to.
The behavior of the two made Jason very unhappy.
Inexplicably guilty, Aletta subconsciously broke away from John Holt’s hand, and said softly, “Come here to talk about something.”
Jason’s frown deepened.
He smelled the smell of alcohol at the tip of his nose, his face darkened immediately, and he asked Aletta. “Have you been drinking?”
The displeasure in his tone became more obvious.
Aletta pursed her lips and replied honestly, “Drink some.”
Jason looked at her sullenly, and asked, “Don’t you know you’re still hurt?”
“It’s just a sprained foot, skin trauma, the wine is still drinkable…”
Aletta subconsciously said something.
As a result, in the next second, anger gathered between the man’s brows.
She quickly shut up…
John Holt couldn’t help frowning when he saw the unusual appearance of the two.
Intuition told him that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
He took a step forward and stood in front of Aletta, “Even if she drank, I would still send her off, so I won’t bother Mr. Hill.”
Jason looked at John Holt coldly, as if he just remembered his ‘relationship‘ with Aletta.
John Holt looked at him too.
The two looked at each other, and an invisible smoke filled the air.
Flora looked at the two of them, quietly leaned into Aletta’s ear, and whispered,” Alta, are they … jealous?”
