Chapter 167:
Darren furrowed his brows. He looked at her for a moment, his voice sharp with irritation. “That won't be
necessary. Just stay away from me.”
Tears welled up in Lillie’s eyes, spilling over as she sat there, looking pitiful and helpless.
Belinda rolled her eyes upon seeing this.
Belinda frowned. Did Lillie really have to put on a show and cry like that to gain sympathy? Anyone who didn’t
know any better would think they had bullied her or something!
“What are you doing, Lillie? Darren didn’t even say anything harsh. Why are you crying like this now?” Belinda
couldn't hold back any longer and questioned Lillie right there and then.
“I... I just... | just feel so sorry. | made a mistake,” Lillie said in between sobs as she wiped away her tears.

being ridiculous.”
“Enough. Go back to your seat,” Darren’s voice was laced with impatience, and he waved his hand dismissively
at Lillie.
“Just head back here and sit down, Lillie,” Kylee chimed in, taking Lillie’s hand to guide her back to her seat.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Thomas is a kind person. He won't hold it against you.”
Meanwhile, Debra and Percy exchanged a look of disdain and disbelief at the tic performance Lillie was
putting on. She was so obvious in what she was trying to do here; this was absurd.

Belinda had been curious about Lillie’s intentions, but what the latter did next made her understand everything.
As it happened, it didn’t take long before Lillie got drunk. After getting drunk, Lillie started to act out.
She danced around the room, singing at the top of her lungs.
It would have been fine if she had kept to that, but then, she decided to approach Darren.
With flushed cheeks and a wide grin on her face, she approached Darren and said, “Hey, handsome. You look a
bit familiar. Here, lettake a closer look at you.”
Without warning, she reached out to touch Darren's face. But Darren slapped her hand away before she could
even make contact.
Lillie withdrew her hand with a sullen expression. “Ouch! Hey, that hurts! You're so mean! Now, you have to blow
on my hand to makefeel better!”
With that, she extended her hand to Darren again.
“That is enough, Lillie!” Belinda snapped, clearly irritated.
At that point, only a fool would fail to recognize Lillie’s blatant interest in Darren.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe thing was, Belinda could vividly remember Madonna once saying that among their family, Lillie was the one
who held her liquor the best.
Today, Lillie had hardly drunk anything before she appeared drunk. Clearly, she was pretending to be intoxicated
to get closer to Darren.
Lillie ignored Belinda and pouted at Darren. “Why aren't you saying anything? Am | too far away from you? I'll
ccloser to you, then.”
