Meanwhile, Jean had been closely observing Brad's expression. She noticed him frowning and stopped
unbuttoning his shirt.
While Brad was asleep, she stealthily pecked his thin, pale lips.
However, the peck left her wanting more. Since they were alone in the private room, she had nothing to
worry about. She kissed him again.
This time, she delicately licked his lips with no intention of stopping.
The drunken Brad was unaware of what was happening. He only felt an overwhelming drowsiness as he drifted
deeper into sleep.
Outside the private room, Alex was on the phone with Nadine. It took a while for her to answer.

When she did, her voice sounded slightly sleepy. “Hello, Mr. Johnson?”
She knew Alex. Back when she was trying to learn about Brad's preferences, she got Cameron's and Alex’s
numbers
Alex had always been protective of Brad. He shared what was necessary and kept quiet about everything
else.
Whenever Brad had too much to drink, Alex would help get him home. When he saw Nadine struggling to
support the staggering Brad, he would offer to help her take Brad back to his bedroom.
Therefore, Nadine didn’t hate Alex.
Knowing he was Brad's good friend, she didn’t treat him any better.
Avery, who was lying next to Nadine, sat up alertly upon hearing the phone call. She glared at Nadine with a
warning look.
Nadine waved her hand and pointed to the phone, signaling her to stay calm. Alex was so relieved that Nadine
had answered that he almost fell to his knees in gratitude.
Fearing she might hang up, he quickly said, “Ms. Scott, Brad is very drunk and didn’t bring his bodyguards. He's
been calling your nand refuses help from anyone else.
“You're his wife. Could you please cover? You don’t have to do much. Just say a few words to calm him down
and get him home.”
Alex knew that Nadine had moved out of Phoenix Villa. He didn’t want to pressure her, so he kept his voice low,
almost pleading. He was making himself as humble as possible.
Nadine was surprised that Alex would call her and even more surprised by how polite he was.
She hesitated. Alex's humble tone was all too familiar. It was just like how she was around Brad. She was always
concerned about his feelings and terrified of rejection, so she constantly lowered herself.

Because she had experienced the sthing, she felt a surge of sympathy for Alex.
For a moment, she wanted to agree, not for Brad's sake but because of Alex's humble attitude. However, she
quickly quelled that sympathy.
Looking into Avery’s eyes, she said into the phone, “Mr. Johnson, | think Brad needs Ms. Sawyer more. Please call
her. I'm sure he’d love to see her.
“If you're uncomfortable calling Ms. Sawyer, | can make the call for you as a favor between friends.”
Alex immediately understood what she meant.
Nadine was willing to consider him a friend, independent of Brad. If he continued to bother her with Brad's
issues, they might not even be able to remain friends.
As he was caught in a dilemma, a sudden, loud crash cfrom inside the private room.
