Alex was dumbstruck when he saw Jean. He had hoped Nadine would show up instead of Jean,
Thus, he remained rooted at the door, reluctant to let Jean enter the room. He finally snapped back to his senses when she inquired about Brad. Slightly disappointed, he stepped aside and made way for her.
“Brad is indeed drunk. He wasn’t in a good mood.”
As he spoke, he chanced a glance at Brad. He muttered a silent prayer for himself, hoping that things wouldn’t go down the drain.
Jean was also friends with Alex on social media. The moment she saw Alex post a picture of Brad’s
intoxicated state, she decided to come over.

happened. This was her chance.
Lynn helped her with her makeup and hair. Then, she put on Brad’s favorite perfume. Once she was dressed appropriately, she rushed over to the bar.
Brad often brought Jean along to his friend gatherings back then, so she knew where he was once she
noticed the setup in the private room.
Even Alex’s slightly odd expression when he saw her didn’t bother her. Her target was Brad, not Alex. So why should she even bother?
Hearing that Brad was wasted, Jean was delighted. However, she put on a front and berated Alex, “What? How could you let him get drunk? You knew about his heart condition, but you still let him drink so much! What were you thinking?”
Without a second thought, she shifted the blame on Alex. Alex widened his eyes. “Who told you I got him: to drink? He did it to himself! He was already drunk when I arrived. How can you blame me?
“Wake up, Jean. I’m neither your servant nor your maid. Don’t you dare falsely accuse others before your get the facts right! To be honest, I’m fed up with your phony behavior. You’re nothing but a pretentious
bitch!”
Alex had never liked Jean back when Brad dated her. He always thought she was incredibly pretentious, and she’d only gotten worse after six years.
She should attend a “bitching” contest if there were one. She’d surely win!
Jean was rendered speechless by his retort. As she bit her lower lip, tears began pooling in her eyes. She glared at him, seemingly on the verge of crying.
“Alex, how can you be so harsh to a woman? I only misspoke because I was concerned about Brad. Do you really have to mock me like that? If I knew you resented me that much, I wouldn’t have shown up.”
Tears streamed down her cheeks in the next instant. A wave of awkwardness flooded through Alex.
He really was at a loss for words. Jean’s antics had gotten to him, and it took him a while to recompose

himself.
“You’re crying now because I merely rebuked you? Are you serious? It was just a single retort, so why are you making a fuss about it? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have let you in!”
ad even fancy Jean back then? Alex wouldn’t want here he was paid to go on a date with
How did her. What a pretentious bitch!
Alex’s words really hit home for Jean. She wanted to come back with a smart retort, but words failed her. Remembering her purpose, she decided to ignore Alex. She wiped her tears and went up to Brad instead.
With his eyes closed, Brad looked like he was asleep. She nudged him gently. “Brad, are you asleep?”
As she did so, she kept cursing Alex inwardly. She had never gotten along with him, but little did she expect his resentment of her to remain the same even after six years.
Damn him! Jean was determined to have Brad teach him a lesson after he woke up.
