MainNovelFawn nodded.
Vespera continued, "That's all I can help you with. I chere with my friends, so I'll join them now. You should... be careful." With that, Vespera let go of Fawn's hand, but Fawn quickly grabbed hers. "Miss, please don't go! I'm terrified." Vespera was speechless. Did Fawn think she wasn't scared at all? "I'm sure Mrs. Dawson will seek you out soon. I already ruined her plan earlier. If I continue hanging around you, I'll be in danger as well." "I'm sorry for dragging you into this." Fawn released Vespera's hand and becmore composed. "Go and look for your friends. I'll be fine." "Don't be nervous. Remain calm and act normal." After saying that, Vespera took a plate of snacks with her and walked away. She wasn't as chivalrous as Rebecca. That was more than what anyone could expect of Vespera.
Meanwhile, Fawn tightened her grip on her plate to calm herself down for a few seconds. Then, she joined a group of older women seated together, all engrossed in conversation. She chatted with them for a while before attempting to text someone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn a corner of the banquet hall, a woman dressed in a gray evening gown was staring at Fawn. She calmly made a call. "Something's not right. I think she knows something." Meanwhile, Vespera brought a plate of snacks back to Rebecca and Yasmine. While scooping up scake with her spoon, Vespera began telling them what had happened.
Rebecca and Yasmine went silent for a moment before the former asked, "If we're going to save someone, shouldn't we go all the way? Don't we have Calvert on our side? Ask him to cin and escort that woman back home." Yasmine sighed. "And then? If Mrs. Dawson knows that we're aware of her true colors, do you think we could get away with it even if all of us make our escape tonight? "Vera did the right thing. All of the women here are either wealthy or well- connected. If that woman has becMrs. Dawson's target, she's definitely someone special. Let her handle it on her own. I don't want us to get involved and end up as scapegoats." Rebecca froze at Yasmine's words.
By then, Vespera had already successfully turned the cake into mush. "Ladies, we should quickly leave. I'll get Calvert to pick us up at the banquet hall entrance." Yasmine echoed in agreement. "Yes, I agree. Let's not get involved." Vespera made a call to Calvert but was greeted with a mechanical female voice saying, "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable." Vespera set her phone down, causing Rebecca and Yasmine to stare at her in confusion. She let out a sigh. "Ladies, we're done for." Rebecca and Yasmine were at a loss for words.
Vespera gave Dominic a call but heard the smechanical female voice instead. She tried giving Rebecca a call, yet it was still the smechanical voice repeating the message.
"Want to know what I think? The signal in this banquet hall has been blocked. From the moment Madam Rich decided not to wear that gold mask, Emily made up her mind to block the signal." Yasmine's head hurt. "You shouldn't have gone over at that time." "What nonsense are you talking about? We can't let others get in trouble. What if Mrs. Dawson wanted to kill that woman? Vera did the right thing!" "Becca, you must have been a heroine in your past life." "I'll take that as a compliment." Yasmine smiled bitterly. Although Rebecca and Vespera were silly, they were still adorable.
Vespera put her phone away. "What's done is done, so no regrets here. Let's see what happens, and we'll go with the flow." As soon as she spoke, the lights in the banquet hall went dark. Within the next moment, a spotlight was directed on the spiral staircase ahead.
A woman wearing a black, luxurious mask that covered her face entirely and a black gown walked down the spiral staircase gracefully.
It seemed like the final guest of the night had arrived at the banquet hall.
After having dinner at his apartment, Dominic took a call from Eden in his study wasom. Meanwhile, Raymond was busy packing his luggage for Dominic's trip tomorrow.
"Dominic, you sound distracted." m Eden could tell Dominic was just humoring him.
At that moment, Dominic was feeling strangely uneasy. He had recalled something important from the depths of his messy mind.
A few days ago, he had seen Є something related to Emily in the Lumena Order's nlist. However, the nwasn't Emily's, but her husband's.
