Chapter 566
Outside the venue, Elizabeth glanced back at Alexander and Ivan trailing her, feeling a wave of frustration.
"Are these two ever going to give it a rest? Do I look like I have time to mess around with them?" she thought.
"Ivan, it's crazy busy inside. Why don't you head back in and keep everyone company? Why are you following me?" she snapped, clearly annoyed.
She got what Ivan was trying to do, but with so many guests and seniors inside, she couldn't afford to be inconsiderate. That was just how things worked.
"It's cool; they're all my friends here. Besides..." he said, giving Alexander a meaningful look.
Alexander picked up on Ivan's vibe and knew whatever he was about to say would definitely tick him off.
Ivan didn't hold back. "Everyone knows I'm planning to pursue you," he said bluntly.
Sure enough, Alexander's face went ice-cold.
Elizabeth felt even more exasperated.
"Alright, both of you stay here. I don't need an escort; I drove myself!" Elizabeth said, shaking her keys.
"It's late, let me drive you. You've been drinking, and you can't drive," Alexander said, stepping forward to grab the keys from her.
Elizabeth dodged him. She shot Alexander an unfriendly look but was still somewhat gentle with Ivan.
"I'm saying this for the last time: I can get home by myself. Got it?" Elizabeth was really ticked off.
Ivan noticed her anger and said, a bit hurt, "Elizabeth, I just wanted to drive you home. If you don't want that, fine. I don't want to upset you. I just wanted to make you happy." His tone was slightly aggrieved, like a little elf complaining about being wronged.
This made Alexander look particularly stiff and awkward.
Alexander glared at Ivan. How had he never noticed before that Ivan was so good at playing the victim?
"Alright, go back to your business," Elizabeth quickly instructed Ivan.
Ivan obediently replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I definitely won't bother you."
Alexander raised an eyebrow.
Ivan looked at him as if to say, you should be sensible too.
Alexander was speechless.
Ivan could act all he wanted, but he didn't need to drag him into it.
Alexander looked at Elizabeth again.
"Since he's not driving you, I'll do it," he said, just as Nolan drove up.
The car door opened, and Alexander directly pushed Elizabeth into the car and followed her in.
Ivan was left standing there, stunned.
"Alexander, you're shameless!" he shouted angrily.
Elizabeth wanted to get out but couldn't, and Ivan regretted being so considerate earlier.
Ivan forgot that Alexander was not the type to be obedient.
Alexander had always been rebellious and bold; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten to where he was today!
Ivan watched as the car drove away. He sent a message to Alexander: [Alexander, can we compete fairly?]
In the group chat, Kieran, not knowing what had happened, kept asking, "What did I miss? Quick, tell me!"
In Alexander's car, Elizabeth crossed her arms and looked out the window, her eyes filled with displeasure.
She really didn't like Alexander's domineering behavior, which showed no respect for her at all.
The car was very quiet, leaving Nolan feeling the awkwardness, unsure of what to say.
For Alexander, getting Elizabeth into the car was already a win.
