Chapter 170

Elizabeth furrowed her brows, her beautiful and delicate face almost scrunching up. “Elizabeth, you’ve had too much to drink,” the person said in a clear, indifferent voice. Elizabeth was in a daze. She tilted her head, trying to see the man in front of her clearly. But with her smudged makeup, fallen eyelashes, and the dim lighting, she couldn’t make out his face.

She thought, It’s too blurry. Just like Alexander’s feelings for me, never clear.

Alexander looked at the dark circles around her eyes, his gaze somewhat complicated. How did Elizabeth end up like this?

“Til take you home,” Alexander said, grabbing Elizabeth’s wrist to lead her off the st—. But Elizabeth pushed his hand away, shaking her head. “No, I’m not done having fun!”

“You’ve had too much!” He frowned, his tone slightly irritated.

“I have not! I’m perfectly sober!” Elizabeth shouted.

Alexander’s face gradually turned cold as he watched Elizabeth dive back into the crowd once more. Because of Alexander’s presence, the bar suddenly became less lively. Elizabeth tried to find someone to drink with, but people kept backing away.

Alexander stood at the edge of the stage, his gaze coldly sweeping over the crowd. He wanted to see who would dare to drink with Elizabeth in front of him today!

Elizabeth felt isolated and glared at Alexander, very displeased. “Alexander—”

He impatiently walked over, grabbed Elizabeth’s hand again, and said, “Let’s go home.”

“I won’t!” Elizabeth got angry, very, very dissatisfied.

Not far away, Kieran and Lila hurried over. Lila walked onto the stage, shielding Elizabeth behind her. Alexander stared at Lila. Lila frowned, her expression fierce. “What are you doing here? What do you want with Elizabeth?”

“Lila, she’s had too much to drink. I’m taking her home,” Alexander’s voice was clear.

“She’s with me and doesn’t need you to take her home. You should take care of your Ms. Russell!”

With that, Lila grabbed Elizabeth’s hand and said to Alexander, “Alexander, from now on, you don’t need to concern yourself with anything about Elizabeth.”

Alexander blocked Lila’s way. “Lila, I know you have issues with me. But Elizabeth is still my wife, and I have an obligation to be concerned. It’s almost midnight, and it’s not convenient for you to take someone who’s had too much to drink home. Just leave her to me,” Alexander said to Lila in a calm and gentlemanly tone.

Lila glared at him, unable to read his intentions for a moment. Did he care about Elizabeth or not?

Lila was displeased. “What if I don’t—”

Alexander then looked at Kieran and said calmly, “Kieran, Ms. Parker has a special status, and it’s not safe for her to go home late. Why don’t you take her home?”

Kieran exchanged a glance with Lila. He lazily smiled and made an “OK” gesture, agreeing. “Alright.”

Alexander directly pulled Elizabeth back to his side. Lila stepped forward to stop him but was blocked by Kieran. “Ms. Parker, let’s not interfere in a couple’s matters, shall we?”

Lila glared at Kieran and unceremoniously cursed, “Partners in crime!”

Kieran was very confused. “Who’s partners in crime!” Kieran felt wronged.

Lila’s face was expressionless as she thought, Of course, it is Kieran and Alexander! How can Alexander have the nerve to call Elizabeth his wife? They have been married for so many years, but he never treated Elizabeth as his wife for a moment! Has he ever given Elizabeth any dignity as his wife? What is he pretending to be a good husband for now? Neither Kieran nor Alexander is any good!

“Get out of the way,” Lila pushed Kieran aside, her temper flaring.
