Chapter 171
Having had too much to drink, Brad collapsed into a heap on the sofa. He didn’t respond to Alex’s questions.
From the strange smile on his face, it was hard to tell whether he was smiling or grimacing. He kept chugging alcohol down his throat, showing no intention of stopping. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Infuriated, Alex snatched his glass away from him. “Are you going to drink yourself to death? Did you forget about your heart condition?
“It’s only been years, but you seem to have forgotten all about it! I’d hold Nadine accountable for pampering you to the point that you forget how hard life can be!”
With his glass taken away, Brad reached for the bottle on the table and lifted it to his lips.
Alex quickly grabbed it from him and bellowed, “Why are you abusing your health like this? Have you forgotten how you got through those years?”
He immediately called a server to remove all the alcohol from the private room. Realizing that all the alcohol was about to be taken away, Brad jerked up from the sofa only to slump back down again.
Frustrated, Alex shook his head. “Seriously, is it really worth it? If you like Jean, just divorce Nadine. If your can’t let go of Nadine, cut Jean off completely. Is it really that hard?
“Or are you attempting to challenge the law by marrying two wives at once? Sorry to break it to you, but bigamy is a crime. You’ll end up in prison for that!”
No one else except Jean and Nadine could drive Brad to drown himself in alcohol. In fact, he was known for his extreme self–discipline.
Even if he had social engagements at night, he’d always return after 10:30 pm. If any young woman were present on such occasions, he’d keep a safe distance from them and leave early.
He wouldn’t even drink if it wasn’t necessary. Only relationship issues could make him drink like this.
Brad’s eyes lit up at the mention of Nadine’s name. Still slouched on the sofa, he gazed at Alex and chuckled.
“Nadine’s a madwoman. But the funny thing is, I still find her quite lovely. I feel like she’s in a better mood after she became a madwoman.”
The amusement in his eyes grew thick as if he was suddenly reminded of something.
Seeing him like this, Alex was certain that he was utterly wasted. He nudged his shoulder, gesturing for him to get up. “You’ve had too much to drink. Come on I’ll get you home. Let’s go!”
However, Brad didn’t budge an inch. All he did was gaze into blank space with an infatuating grin, resembling a fool in love.
No matter how hard Alex tried to haul him up, he remained as steady as a rock. He barely moved an inch. Alex was so mad that he felt like plopping himself down his stomach.

“You’re always making things difficult for me, asshole! Fine. If I can’t deal with you, I know someone who
I can. Just you wait. I’m calling Nadine to come deal with you now!”
Alex took Brad’s phone and called Nadine. Yet, the series of beeps from the other end of the phone clearly indicated the line was busy.
