They’d come up with a way to dodge Patricia’s lectures. Every time Henry got drunk, they’d call his girlfriend, Alicia, to pick him up and drop him off at home. That way, Patricia wouldn’t tear into them.

But tonight, Alicia just wouldn’t come; she totally refused to pick Henry up.

With no other options, the guys kept trying to pawn the job off until they ended up drawing straws to decide who would take Henry home.

Unlucky, Bill, who’d just tried calling Alicia, ended up with the short straw. He looked thoroughly annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

Bill muttered under his breath, ‘What a pain. But I’ve got no other choice!

He hailed a car by the curb, helped Henry inside, and jumped in after him.

Henry and his folks didn’t stay at the Yates Manor anymore. They’d picked up a villa over at Bloomfield Estates, right in the development area, a quick hop from the bar they’d been hanging out at.

In just twenty minutes, they arrived.

Bill stepped out of the car, took a deep breath, and gathered his nerve before finally ringing the doorbell at Henry’s place.

The maid opened the door, and Bill practically handed Henry off to her. “He’s totally drunk. Get him settled in to sleep it off. I’m heading out.”

Bill barely finished his sentence before hurrying away.

Henry was so wasted that he was out cold. The maid nearly dropped him when Bill handed him over.

Good thing Patricia and Cameron were just chatting in the living room; they rushed out as soon as they heard the maid freak out.

Cameron managed to catch Henry, while Patricia looked furious, seeing her son in such a mess.

Patricia gritted her teeth, fuming. She wondered, ‘Ugh, he’s probably been out with that Alicia again, drinking.

She’s still in school.

‘How does she end up dragging Henry out for drinks all the damn time? I’m about to blow a fuse. No way am I ever letting Henry marry her!

Since Alicia was always the one dropping Henry off, Patricia automatically assumed he’d been out drinking

with her.

In Patricia’s mind, Alicia was nothing better than one of those club hostesses, just some girl who hung around sleazy bars. Patricia looked down on her, through and through.

Patricia turned to Cameron. “Get Henry inside so he can sleep it off. Linda, get to work on a hangover remedy

Once Patricia had finished barking out her orders, she walked out, fully intending to lay into Alicia if the go

the chance.

But when Patricia stepped outside, Alicia was nowhere in sight. Her brows knit in irritation as she scanned the driveway and spotted Bill hurrying toward his car.

The scolding she’d been ready to unleash at Alicia died on her lips. Instead, she called out, “Bill?”

Bill instantly recognized Patricia’s voice behind him and couldn’t help but grimace, knowing he was caught.

He turned around, scratched his head awkwardly, and managed a nervous chuckle. “Hi, Mrs. Stone.

Patricia fixed him with a frown. “You were out drinking with Henry tonight?”

Bill’s eyes flashed as he instantly came up with a way to toss the blame. “Yeah, so Henry and Alicia had a fight, man. He was feeling down and asked us to grab some drinks.

“We’re his friends. What can you do? We tried telling him not to go so hard, but the dude was a wreck. No reasoning with him.”

Bill deliberately pinned it all on Alicia. ‘Serves her right for blocking him, he wondered. Bill figured this would teach her a lesson, and maybe now, it’d be even tougher for her to marry Henry.

Sure enough, Patricia’s frown got even deeper. “You’re saying that adopted girl from the Lawrence family actually dared to argue with Henry?”

“Yeah, that’s what Henry told me. Alicia was jealous of her sister and shoved her right into the pool

“Henry saw the whole thing and tried to get Alicia to apologize, but she totally flipped out on him, claiming he never takes her side.” Bill threw up his hands.

Patricia just scoffed, her laugh cold and sharp. “Seriously, what does Henry even like about a girl like that?”

Bill rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Guess it’s just because she’s pretty or something.”

“Looks aren’t everything. She’s just a pretty face,” Patricia grumbled, still annoyed.

Then she turned to Bill. “Alright, it’s late. Head home and take care. You’ve been drinking, right? Don’t even think about driving yourself. Make sure to get someone to drive you.”

“No worries, Mrs. Stone. I came by cab, and it’s still waiting for me over there. I’ll get going now.” Bill made his escape in a flash.

Patricia’s expression turned downright sour. She wondered, ‘Looks like I need to figure out a way to make Henry dump Alicia for good.

‘Honestly, I used to think–fine, she’s pretty, Henry’s young, let him have his fun. It’s just a fling anyway, not like he’d ever marry her.

She thought, ‘But now, seeing Henry get drunk over her? Guess he’s actually getting attached. That’s trouble.

‘They have to break up fast. Just some adopted girl from the Lawrence family–no way she’s on Henry’s level.
