Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 354

Nicole defended herself, “Aleena, we have been friends for so many years. How can you doubt me like that? I didn’t want to send you home because I was trying to help you hide from your parents and was worried they would find out. I said that I would find you a man but you refused, saying that you wanted to stay pure for Eugene. That was why I suggested you lock yourself in a room. As for Roberts pouncing on you, isn’t that normal? He’s a playboy. He would pounce on any girl he sees, not to mention he has been coveting you for such a long time. You can’t just say that I planned all of this based on this point. I was just trying to help you!”

Aleena nodded. “Fine, you’ve convinced me on this matter. Last night, you kept dropping hints for me to get Olivia drunk. I suppose you also know that I drugged her drink, right? But she switched her glass with mine. I was worried I would hurt myself so I lowered my head and didn’t notice what she did, but I can’t believe that you didn’t see it too. You let me drink that glass of wine without stopping me. Were you hoping to see me make a fool of myself?”

Nicole said helplessly, “You really are wrong about this. I really didn’t see the switch. We were all distracted by the plate when it smashed. Olivia kept asking you if you were hurt, and I was worried about you so I was looking at you too. I didn’t notice when she switched your glasses at all. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Alex and Hayden who were with us at the same table.”

Aleena had a feeling that Nicole secretly had a role in this matter, but her explanation seemed legitimate.

But in the end, she could only blame herself for being dumb. Who else could she blame?

Even if Nicole had plotted for this to happen on her, it was her own fault for not knowing her true colors.

She wouldn’t rely on her too much anymore in the future and she had to keep an eye on her.
