Overall, Mr. Dorian Howards still sees the other person as a rival in love.
Alice Conley only just realized, belatedly, that he was actually jealous, and quickly said, "Don't worry, he absolutely wouldn't want to marry me. He has someone else he likes, it's just that his family doesn't approve, so he's temporarily using me as a decoy. We're really just friends."
"Maybe he is interested in you and is just bluffing to make you let your guard down. Have you met this supposed person he likes? Do you know which of his words are true and which are false?" Dorian Howards said, not in the best of moods.
Alice Conley was sweating bullets, ugh... she really had met her, not just her, but Dorian had met her as well. However, it involved some private matters of Daxton and Jacob Fletcher, so Alice Conley was too embarrassed to say it outright and could only argue, "I'm not that easy to fool!"
