Chapter 399

Alex stood in the corridor. Only after Nancy entered Ellie’s room did he turn around and go back to his room with relief.

Tve been waiting for you. What took you so long?” Alex walked into Layton’s private room in the Earl Hotel’s club. Layton started complaining as soon as Alex stepped through the door.

Alex sat down and downed a glass of wine. After putting down the glass, he glared at Layton. “Why don’t you just go into hiding until Nalani gets remarried?”

Layton sat leisurely on the sofa opposite Alex, fiddling with his newly done hair on his phone. Dude. I helped you out so much, but you bombed my yacht

Alex said, “You call that helping me?”

Layton put down his phone and grinned. “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to trick Ellie back.”

Alex said. “We’re meant to be. Even without you, we would have ended up together sooner or later.”

“What exactly happened on that night in Jinerity?” Alex poured himself another glass of wine.

Layton spread his hands and said, “I was too far away and didn’t see their faces. I didn’t know that those two were going after Diana. I didn’t want to waste it, so I put what they had left in your drink.”

Alex asked. ‘Is this that simple!

Layton answered, “Yep.”

Alex stood up with his glass in hand, his gaze fixed on Layton from above. You first made sure that Diana and Ellie drank the spiked wine, then had someone switch my room number with Ellie’s.

“Then you took the opportunity to spike my drink and went to Ellie’s floor to stop her. Later, you took her to my room. Am I right?”

Layton rolled his eyes at Alex and said, “You already know it. Why are you asking?”

Alex sauntered over, bent down, and rested one hand on the back of Layton’s sofa. “You’re not helping me. You’re harming me! If I wasn’t so resilient, Aaron would have destroyed me by now.”
