Paige defended him, “Don’t blame him! His mother’s always been difficult. He must’ve tried his best!”

Paige hugged Caroline tightly, resting her head on Caroline’s abdomen. “My face hurts, Carol. Can you

check if it’s swollen?”

Caroline chuckled and gently touched Paige’s warm cheek. “You’re still worried about your looks at a time

like this?”

Paige replied, “I just want to be pretty. Thank you for standing up for me earlier.”

Caroline reassured her, “You’re being silly, Paige. I did what was right.”

After leaving the Prices, Alex went to meet Evan. He lay on the sofa of his office, staring at the ceiling

with despair.

Evan asked, “What’s troubling you now? You think MK is a sanctuary for your problems?”

Alex weakly confessed, “I had a fight with my mother.”

Focused on his documents, Evan nonchalantly said, “If it’s about Paige, it’s expected.”

Alex sat up and retorted, “You shouldn’t downplay this, Evan. You should be more supportive.”

The office door suddenly swung open, and Lucas rushed in worriedly. “Evan, it’s bad news! Alex’s mother

has physically assaulted his girlfriend!”

Alex jumped to his feet, alarmed. “What?! Are you serious?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Lucas was taken aback by Alex’s reaction and looked at Evan. “Why’s he here?”

Alex asked in frustration, “Why wouldn’t I be here? How did you find out?”

Lucas quickly handed him a phone, “Look, it’s all over the Internet.”

Alex grabbed the phone, opened a video, and watched as his mother slapped Paige and hurled insults at her. His face contorted with anger, and he tossed the phone aside before storming out of Evan’s office.

Evan glanced at Lucas and snapped, “Is this a gossip exchange spot?”

Lucas changed the topic, “Evan, when did Alex arrive? Do you think he’s going to confront his mother?”

Evan’s expression turned serious. “Are you even listening to me?”

Lucas replied, “I came here to discuss how to break the news to Alex. No! I need to stop him before this

escalates into a disaster.”

Lucas rushed out of the office, leaving Evan speechless.

Evan looked at the document in his hand but couldn’t concentrate. He stood up, grabbed his jacket, and

followed Lucas with a grave expression.

At Table One.

Paige’s phone rang just after Caroline had ordered her favorite food. She pulled out her phone and saw

that it was Alex calling.

Caroline asked, “Who’s calling?”

“It’s Alex.” Paige put the phone on speaker.

Alex’s voice came through immediately. “Where are you, Paige?”

Paige looked at Caroline and replied, “I’m at Table One with Carol.”

“Wait for me. I’m on my way!”

Caroline sensed something was wrong and checked online, finding the incident involving Paige and

Rebecca at the top of the search results. She scrolled through the comments.
