?Chapter 791:


    An hadn’t anticipated things escting like this.


    Adah, the architect of chaos, sipped her drink with barely disguised amusement, her eyes sparkling with mischief.


    Elliana gave Cole one fleeting nce and then calmly lifted her ss of juice, sipping it like nothing in the world could touch her.


    Cole kept his eyes fixed on Lh and suddenly asked, “Is the juice good?” Ian had been the one to rmend this juice to Lh. Back when An had asked her which juice she’d like, she’d decided to get under Cole’s skin by seeking Ian’s opinion.


    Ian had started offplimenting Lh’s looks, then went on about the health benefits, and finally said, “Apple juice is packed with vitamins, great for yourplexion, and has a gentle taste. It’s perfect for someone as lovely as you.” Of course, Lh had taken his advice without hesitation.


    Now, as Lh sipped the apple juice, Cole’s re was so sharp that it seemed the ss might shatter just from his stare.


    With Cole clearly ready to snap, Elliana decided not to push her luck and answered quietly, “It’s alright.”


    She thought she had softened her response enough for him to let it go, but his temper red all the same.


    Without warning, Cole snatched the ss from her hand and tossed it straight into the trash. Before she could even react, he pulled the straw from her lips and threw it away as well.


    An and Adah stared in shock. Elliana sat frozen, surprised by how quickly things had escted.


    Unbothered by everyone’s reactions, Cole shoved a ss of water toward Lh. “Forget about apple juice. What you need right now is a clear head. Drink some water!”

    Elliana could only look at him in disbelief.


    Just then, a sweet voice chimed in, “Cole!”<fnab3f> Updates are released by Find[?]ovel</fnab3f>


    Elliana nced up to see Paige standing there. She had not seen Paige for ages. Thest time they met, Paige had looked frail and ill. Today, however, Paige wore designer clothes and wless makeup, looking like a different person altogether. Had Paige made a full recovery?


    Paige drew near, her eyes lingering fondly on Cole. “Cole, what are the odds of running into you here?”


    Cole gave Paige a cool, distant look before dropping his eyes, offering no reply. Though he stayed silent, Elliana could see in his expression that he hadn’t forgotten Paige and still remembered their past engagement. The irony stung. He recalled his ex-fiancée, Paige, yet he…


    …seemed to forget about her, his ex-wife. Jealousy crept up on Elliana, sharper than she wanted to admit.


    Meanwhile, Paige’s attention was still fixed entirely on Cole, unaware of the others seated at the table. Realizing Cole was ignoring her, she finally looked around.


    Only then did Paige spot the two beautiful women across from Cole. She quickly figured out that An had taken an interest in the woman opposite her, and there was something subtle between Cole and the woman in white—Lh. Immediately, Paige marked Lh as a rival. She was not about to give up on Cole. However, as Ran’s fiancée, she couldn’t say anything outright.


    After throwing Lh a warning re, Paige turned to Cole with a bright, cheerful smile. “Cole, thank you for signing me with Twinkle Entertainment and promising to make me a star. I’m thrilled!”
