Chapter 302
In the end. Alex took the box of sleeping pills that Ellie had given him and went back in the Warren Manor.
As he entered the living room, he saw the news playing on TV reporting that the second daughter of the Janssen family, the richest in Jinerity, had been severely bitten by hounds,
“What a terrible scene! Aren’t you afraid your blood pressure will spike and you won’t be able to sleep at night?” Alex picked up the remote control and turned off the TV
“She deserved it!” Nancy was not afraid at all. “Haley did so many bad things. This is the fate she deserves?
Alex stood in the center of the living room, listening to Nancy who was cursing Haley. He walked over and asked. “Mom, Haley said that she and another woman both competed for me before. When did this happen? I don’t remember any of ir”
Hearing Alex’s sudden question. Nancy immediately shut her mouth. She exchanged a glance with Todd, then stood up on the couch and slappest Alex in the face. “Given your lousy attitude, do you think that’s even possible?
Barry, seeing Ales getting slapped, quietly waited outside the living room,
“Stop daydreaming!” Nancy raised her voice nervously. “If any woman ever fell for you, Te crawl on my knees to beg her to join our family!”
Nancy continued. “What would anyone want with you? You’re just a man with a criminal record and a bad semper. Honestly, I was abour to sign you up on a dating app. What makes you feel so good about yourself?”
She slapped her thigh dramatically, then plopped back down onto the couch.
Alex rubbed his face, feeling aggrieved. “That makes sense,” he muttered and noticed Evan, the butler, bringing him a cup of tea. He stepped forward to take it. Thanks. It’s late and you should rest
Evan said with a quiet smile, “Maybe I’m getting old. I have less sleep these days”
Alex handed Evan the box of sleeping pills that Ellie had given him. “Take this. No side effects. If you can’t sleep, just take one till knock you out
for sure!
“Why are you carrying sleeping pills with you. Mr. Warren?” Evan asked, taking the medicine, though he was clearly concerned.
Alex’s parents looked alarmed. “Are you losing your mind?!” Todd’s face darkened in anger.
Nancy quickly spoke up, trying to smooth things over. “Alex, don’t take me too seriously. I was just messing around. Take your time?”
Alex blinked, completely taken aback.

Aaron adjusted the bed so Diana could sit up slightly. He sat beside her, patiently feeding her while watching the news on TV.
“Well done, dogs!” Diana was looking much better, and her energy was returning.
When Diana saw the news about Haley getting attacked by the hounds, she gritted her teeth and chewed on the mushroom as if it was Haley’s bone,
