Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Could Finally Attend the Banquet

"All of the invitations for the banquet have already been sent out. You know that for this kind of event, invitations can't be sent until it's about to start," Blanche said.

She wasn't so foolish as to tell Dany that she couldn't attend the banquet, as it would only make herself a laughing stock.

"I don't care. You have to find a way to get me and Nicole in. Don't forget that your grandmother is still waiting for my brother to perform surgery on her."

"We made a deal before. You promised to have James perform surgery on my grandmother as long as I married into the Herbart family, with no other conditions attached. I have to go upstairs to change now and get ready. You should leave." Blanche got up and went upstairs quickly, not wanting to talk with Dany anymore.

Dany wanted to follow her, but the two bodyguards blocked her way.

"You can't go up there," one of the bodyguards said.

Dany glanced at the two bodyguards and was infuriated. She gritted her teeth and glared up, cursing Blanche.

"Blanche, you ungrateful bi*ch! I can't believe that you won't even help me with this small matter. Just wait and see how I will get back to you."

After she finished cursing, Dany grabbed her bag and stormed out.

When Blanche realized that Dany had left, she went downstairs and strolled around the garden. The banquet was about to start, and she couldn't just give up.

After walking around the garden with the two bodyguards, Blanche looked at the wall and wondered if she could try to climb over it.

With that in her mind, a mysterious smile appeared on her face. She had lived in the countryside for many years and was good at climbing trees and walls. She was sure she could climb over this wall.

Just as she had a good idea, a flying rat suddenly hit the electric fence on the top of the wall.

With that, a tragic rat's cry echoed through the air.

The next second, a charred rat, with smoke still rising from its body, fell at Blanche's feet.

"Ah!" Blanche was so frightened that she jumped and took a step back. She turned her head to look at the two guards behind her, aware that they were behind this.

The bodyguards lowered their heads.

"Mrs. Herbart, we're sorry. We just wanted to tell you that the voltage on the fence is several thousand volts. If you accidentally touch it, you'll be burned to ashes."

"Several thousand volts?" Blanche repeated in her mind and clenched her fist. She took a look at the fence with reluctance and knew she couldn't climb over it now. Her only plan had failed. Blanche ran back into the house, feeling frustrated.

...

The scene switched to the Herbart Group's building.

Sam walked into the president's office. "Mr. Herbart, it's time to leave for Old Mrs. Herbart's birthday banquet."
