astonishment toward Brad. “Brad, don’t you hate Nadine the most?”
Brad didn’t respond to her question. He continued to stare ahead blankly.
Meanwhile, Alex couldn’t resist taunting Jean. He whistled and laughed. “See that? Even in this situation, he’s calling out for Nadine, not you!”
After saying that, he approached Brad and waved his hand in front of Brad’s eyes before shaking him. However, Brad remained unresponsive. He still stared straight ahead emotionlessly.
“See? He’s really out of it. He’s completely drunk.”
Jean was disgusted by this jerk. Angered beyond measure, she couldn’t care less about maintaining her image as she hurled insults at him.
“Alex, no one will call you a mute if you stay quiet! Get out of here! We don’t need you!”
But Alex paid her no heed. Seeing Jean’s face contorted with rage only amused him further.
In the room, only the drunken Brad sat quietly and obediently like a child. Just then, Alex’s phone rang. As he glanced at the caller ID, he smiled smugly and chose to decline the call.
Turning to the befuddled Brad, he exclaimed, “Nadine is worried! She’s worried! Haha!”
