Triplets’ Mighty Mom

Chapter 316 I’ll Be Right Back
Somewhere not far away from them, Melanie tried to plead her case by shouting in their direction at the top of her lungs, “Madam
Nolan, that’s not true! I’m dating Ben because I really like him!” Lara cast a glance at that woman to find her a looker and the
type that could easily attract men. However, she was not the right one for her nephew regardless of how she really felt for him
because it would be too much of an embarrassment for him to date Landon’s ex-girlfriend.
Knowing what was in Lara’s mind, Ben secretly cursed Camila for meddling in his business and he had no choice but to say
something. “Aunt Lara, I had no idea because that girl has been lying to me too.”
Lara, who stared at him icily, snapped, “Keep your mouth shut or I will have you chased out of this place too!” Looking
embarrassed, Ben kept his mouth shut obediently. Next, Melanie was hauled out of the villa by the bodyguards. It was only then
did Silas turn to face Landon and rebuked, “You should have known better than to create a scene at your great-grandpa’s
birthday dinner. Now, it’s about time you go upstairs and send him your wishes!” Intimidated by Silas’s aura as always, Landon
quickly replied, “Yes, Uncle Silas!” With that, he made his way upstairs at a hurried pace. Lara too criticized Ben, “Why are you
standing here doing nothing? Clean up the mess now!”
Then, she started explaining to the guests who had watched the entire drama unfold. “Everything is just a misunderstanding and
it’s been solved now. Guys, please make yourself at home!”
It was only then did the group of guests slowly disperse while discussing the drama in whispers at the same time.
Somewhere nearby, Aleena exchanged a glance with Nicole, secretly hatching up plans to lure Camila into drinking. When she
happened to notice Alex and Hayden from the corner of her eyes, she pulled Nicole along as she approached them. She was
sure Silas would bring Camila to have a drink with the two later because they were close friends. Therefore, all she needed to do
was make sure Camila got the glass of wine which was drugged. Just like what she expected, Silas indeed approached them
together with Camila not too long after that. Alex was a talkative person with a great sense of humor. However, he didn’t talk
much
during the event but he could convey a lot of stuff through his eyes.
He was the person who understood Silas the best in the world.
Throughout the many years they had been friends, they had criticized each other because of the huge difference in their
personalities, but they had never allowed it to affect their friendship. “Tsk, tsk! I must say Old Man Nolan’s birthday dinner is
really a very prestigious event because it’s graced with Doctor Brooklyn’s attendance. Since you will be here for hours, how
much will you charge for your consultation fee? Shouldn’t you give them a discount?”
Camila chuckled, “Won’t I be humiliating big shots like you guys if I give a discount?” Laughing, Alex quipped, “Just feel free to
humiliate me because I don’t really care!” Silas, who couldn’t stand him, gave him a kick on his calf and criticized, “Do you
actually realize how shameless you sound?” Alex looked unruffled and he glared at him while snapping back, “Look at how

unappreciative you are. Can’t you see that I’m trying to help you save some money?” Silas shot him a supercilious glance and
countered, “Did I even ask for your help?” Alex grunted in displeasure and lamented, “You’re just being ungrateful!” Sniggering,
Hayden patted Alex’s shoulder and consoled, “You’re really wrong to think that Silas even needs your help to cut costs! I suggest
that you help him spend his money instead!” Nicole chimed in with a gentle smile, “It won’t be your turn anytime soon to spend
his money! I think you guys should help him take care of Doctor Brooklyn instead.”
Alex snorted in response and eyed Silas provocatively. “Do you need our help to take care of her?” Yet, from the threatening way
he was staring at Silas, he seemed to be telling Silas that his girl was now in his hands. Silas, who ignored him, turned to face
Camila and said, “This patient isn’t in his right mind. You need to do everything you can to treat him and I’ll pay for his
consultation fees!”
Camila couldn’t suppress the urge to laugh. It was only after some time did Alex realize he was alluding to him just now. “Damn
it! You’re the one who isn’t in your right mind!” Silas couldn’t help but break into a grin. As he reached out to caress South’s
head, he said, “Please wait for me here and I’ll be right back!”
