“By the way, why isn’t Quintina here?” Zola asked Xavier. Xavier had not spoken yet, Joel interjected from the side, saying, “When was the last time you saw Quintina at a gathering with Xavier?”
“Then why did he marry Quintina?” Zola asked displeased.
“Ask himself.” Joel shrugged, indicating he had no idea.
Xavier smiled indifferently as he replied, “Political marriage, you understand?”
“All men are animals.” Zola scorned. Although she had a good relationship with these guys. due to her cousin, in the marriage between Quintina and Xavier, she sided with Quintina fully.
“That’s not fair.” Joel corrected with conviction. “The three of us are not like that. Ethan, despite having a son, has maintained his integrity over the years, never engaging in promiscuous relationships. As for Leopold, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend, pure to the core. As for me, despite the appearance of many women around, in reality, I have stayed away from them, never getting involved in any relationships.”
“Humph!” Zola scoffed disdainfully.
“Zola, you’re increasingly looking down on us!” Joel criticized.
“And you guys can’t outdrink me,” Zola provocatively retorted.
“Oh damn!” Joel immediately got upset. “If you get drunk tonight, don’t blame me for bullying you.”
“You’re probably overthinking it. Normally, you can’t outdrink me, and with Kylie supporting me this time, you better be prepared to surrender!”
“She doesn’t drink,” Ethan suddenly spoke up.
Zola frowned. “Why?”
“Anyway, she can’t drink,” Ethan said, “If you guys want to drink, go ahead.”
Zola was clearly displeased. Kylie on the side also sniffed the awkwardness in the air. She could see that Zola had a good relationship with these people, probably because Ethan

often took Zola out to play with his friends. At this moment, he suddenly defended Kylie like this, so that Zola couldn’t help but feel unhappy. Kylie quickly explained, “My ears are injured. The doctor said I can’t drink.”
“Ears injured?” Zola was somewhat nervous.
“A minor injury, it’ll be fine in a few days. I just can’t get drunk with you tonight,” Kylie said. with some regret, “I haven’t thanked you for your support back then.”
“That’s a small matter,” Zola said indifferently. She really was carefree, looking like she had no scheming at all. Is it because she’s too straightforward that she never doubted Ethan?” Kylie pondered and found it hard to describe her complex emotions at the moment.
Fortunately, Zola quickly joined Joel and the others in drinking, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively. Zola was indeed a hearty drinker. Kylie felt that if Zola continued to drink like this, even if she made Joel pass out, she wouldn’t fare well herself. Kylie wanted to remind her to drink less. Just at the same moment, Leopold grabbed Joel, who was about to drink another shot with Zola. “Drink less.”
“I’m not drunk yet.” Joel looked displeased, still excitedly saying, “If I don’t make Zola beg for mercy tonight, I’m not a real man!”
“Then don’t be a man. There are many benefits of being a woman like me.” Zola smirked.
“You…” Joel couldn’t resist the provocation, and lifted his wine glass. “Bottoms up!”
“Bottoms up!” Zola downed the drink in one go.
Leopold pursed his lips and said to Joel, “With such capacity, care to have a few drinks with me?”
“With your alcohol tolerance? Are you sure?” Joel looked at Leopold in disbelief. Leopold rarely took the initiative to drink. After all, his alcohol tolerance was really nothing to boast about.
“It’s my nephew’s birthday today, can’t I enjoy the vibe and celebrate?” Leopold raised his eyebrows. Joel was originally a good drinker. Normally, no matter how he persuaded Leopold to drink, the other party would just take a sip. However, today, since Leopold took the initiative, Joel couldn’t easily let it pass. He actively joined Leopold in drinking.
Meanwhile, Zola let out a hiccup. She had just drunk too much with Joel, and her stomach was clearly uncomfortable now. If she continued to drink like this, she would surely end up vomiting in public.

“Are you okay?” Kylie asked Zola, handing her a glass of plain water. “Don’t drink too harsh. It’s not good for your stomach.”
“Thanks” Zola took the glass of water, feeling moved. She sincerely said, “Kylie, I like you so much. Kylie’s heart skipped a beat.
“Do you know Quintina?” Zola asked.
“I know, we had dinner together before.”
“She’s my best friend, no doubt,” Zola said, “But now I want to announce that I have another best friend.”
Kylic lightly bit her lip, feeling a bit at a loss. She could actually feel Zola’s feelings for her. It was because of Zola’s sincerity that her mood had been complicated and tangled. She turned her gaze to Ethan, who was constantly dealing with the alcohol. She thought to herself, Tonight. Things that need to be said should be said.”
The dinner ended, and everyone was in high spirits. Joel insisted on going to a karaoke bar to sing. Then the group went to the luxurious entertainment club on the 16th floor. They booked a VIP room. The room wasn’t large, and with five or six people, it didn’t feel crowded or too spacious. However, the decoration inside was overly luxurious.
Joel was originally an active person, and now, after drinking, he was very excited. He picked
up the microphone and sang and danced on his own. Zola also got high on alcohol and competed for the microphone with Joel. The two suddenly behaved like two children, playing wildly.
“If you find it boring, I’ll take you home first,” Ethan said. He also smelled of alcohol.
“No.” Kylie shook her head. She thought, ‘Everyone is now in high spirits, and Ethan is the protagonist. If he leaves with her, how can these guys continue to have fun?”
“Then if you want to leave, just let me know, and I’ll take you,” Ethan said, then murmured, “I want you to get to know more about my life.” Kylie was slightly stunned. The next moment, she saw Ethan stand up and walk towards Leopold. The group started drinking again.
Leopold probably exceeded his limit tonight. Kylie saw him go to the restroom several times, and every time he came out, his face was very pale. Those who frequently engaged. in social events would understand it very well. When someone truly got drunk, continuous. vomiting would make their face increasingly pale.

“Kylie, since you’re not drinking, how about singing a song?” After Zola and Joel finished their song. Zola plopped down beside Kylie. “What song do you want to sing? I’ll play it for
you.”
“I’m not singing…”
“If you are not singing and drinking, then you must be bored.” Zola expressed concern.
*I’ll choose a song myself. You go and enjoy your drinks.” Kylie compromised, but still reminded her. “Don’t drink too much. It’s uncomfortable to get drunk.”
“I know, I know.” Zola verbally agreed, but her body had already honestly moved towards Ethan. When Kylie stood up to choose a song, she saw Zola leaning crookedly against Ethan’s shoulder. He naturally supported her with a slight frown on his face, but he didn’t push her away. Kylie pursed her lips and turned around to select the song “The Third Party,”
