Chapter 300 Zoey Stirs Up Trouble Again
Zoey was such a troublemaker. She was seriously annoying.
No one dared to speak. Everyone kept glancing at Alfred, watching his expression.
After a short silence, Alfred finally moved.

He lifted his eyes. His gaze was deep and cold, like it was covered in frost, and it landed on Ryan.
“What man?”
His voice was low and hoarse, wrapped in chill. The temperature in the room seemed to drop
at once.
Ryan quickly pulled his phone back and stuffed it into his pocket. He shook his head again and again.
“It’s nothing, Alfred. You heard wrong.”
He avoided Alfred’s eyes, but he could still feel that sharp stare on him. It made him extremely uncomfortable.
Archie, who was sitting beside Alfred, didn’t dare say another word. He quietly reached for the phone on the table, trying to put it away.
The next second, a long hand grabbed the phone.
Alfred held it tightly in his palm. “Unlock it.”
“Alfred…”
“Unlock it!”
His voice dropped an octave colder.
Archie didn’t dare to refuse. He quickly unlocked the phone.
When Alfred saw the photos Zoey had sent-pictures of Nella being extremely close with a strange man-his face turned terrifyingly pale.
“A-Alfred,” Archie stammered. “Nella isn’t that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding.”
Alfred said nothing. He stared at the photos without blinking.

His eyes were so red, it looked like they might bleed.
So this was why she stood him up today?
Because of this man, she didn’t come to celebrate his birthday?
She had promised him.
She had clearly promised him.
“Alfred, calm down,” someone said softly.
Alfred
gave no reaction.
He kept staring at the photos.
At the way Nella smiled so freely and happily in front of that man.
His heart felt like it was being squeezed again and again.
Nella had never looked this relaxed in front of him.
“Alfred…”
“Maybe…” Archie said carefully, worry all over his face. “You should call Nella and ask her directly. Don’t let a misunderstanding ruin your relationship.”
He kept glancing at his phone, feeling like Alfred might crush it at any moment, as if it were
Nella herself.
“That’s right,” Claire added more bluntly. “You know Zoey. She lives for stirring up trouble. She’d love nothing more than for you and Nella to fight so she can jump in.
“Instead of sulking here,” she continued, “you should just ask Nella directly. It’s better for both of you.”
Just when everyone thought Alfred was about to lose his temper, he suddenly calmed down.
He handed the phone back to Archie and gestured for everyone to sit.
“Let’s eat,” he said. “The food’s getting cold.”
“And Nella?” someone asked.
“She’s just having dinner with a friend,” Alfred cut in flatly. “There’s nothing to make a fuss about.”

His face was blank.
Alfred’s tone was calm and controlled, as if nothing had happened.
But everyone could tell Alfred was forcing his emotions down. It made everyone in the room
feel uneasy.
“Don’t just sit there,” he said. “Eat.”
“Oh, okay.”
Even so, the meal tasted bland to everyone.
