"I can't drink. I can only toast you with my orange juice. We should always be sisters. Come on, cheers." Charlotte took the initiative to extend her hand to touch the glass in Joyce's hand. Then, she finished the orange juice in one gulp.
Since Charlotte had already let go, Joyce definitely couldn't refuse her kindness. She smiled and drank the watermelon juice in her hand.
The two looked at each other.

Juanita saw that the situation was not right and rushed over to pull Lauren away, "Lauren, you have drunk too much tonight, you can't drink any more."
"I didn't drink too much, wine, give me wine!" Lauren was like she had lost her mind completely, "You, Joyce, no one dares to ignore me like that. If I don't teach you a lesson ... I … I would …"
