Chapter 0181

A suddenly booming dance beat drowned out Sieg’s words. Alex was close to him and the only one who could clearly hear him.

He hesitated briefly but kept his tone bland, saying, “I had some matters to attend to.”

Sieg queried, “Is Director Reyes calling on you again? Odd, considering your mom’s distant relationship with her family, yet you’re closer to them. Also, isn’t your uncle visiting Dorrington soon? I saw it in the news.”

His comments drew the attention of those around who joked, “Keeping up with current events, huh, Sieg?”

“Shut up! I’m more educated than you think.”

Sieg continued his playful banter.

One of the guys noticed Yana and loudly invited her, “Hey, Yana, come join us.”

In Dorrington’s elite circles, there were various social levels among the rich kids. Though everyone was acquainted, they rarely mixed.

As that person greeted Yana, Sieg’s gang turned toward her.

They naturally noticed Candice and Hanley nearby. Their expressions were difficult to read in the dim light.

Candice was steadying Yana. She softly proposed, “Let’s take you home to rest.”

Before they could leave, Sieg interjected, “Fate brings people together. Today’s my birthday. Ms. Landor. Could you show some courtesy?”

Yana recalled her last encounter with Sieg and Alex in the bar, hesitating to jain them. She remained silent but glanced at Candice.

“Candice, since we know each other, you wouldn’t spoil my birthday, would you?” Sieg, noticing Yana’s hesitation, addressed Candice directly.

His tone was mocking, not friendly.

Candice told Yana, “If you want to stay, feel free to do that. I’ll get a cab home.”

Yana hesitated, “If you go, why should I stay?”

Sieg scoffed disdainfully, “Do you understand the trouble you’ve caused at Alex’s company? Is
