Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Cut the Cake

Blanche walked into a lounge, while Cathy couldn't swallow the insult she had just received. She waved to two girls nearby and the two girls immediately followed Blanche.

The two girls were the ones who had just provided false testimony for Cathy.

Cathy was determined to teach Blanche a lesson today.

"I didn't expect you to be so cunning. I underestimated you. You could even bewitch Grandma with some cookies. You're quite capable though you're so ugly." Cathy stood in front of Blanche with her arms crossed.

Blanche looked up. She had just sat down, but Cathy and her friends had already surrounded her. It was like being stuck to a piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off.

A cunning person described others as cunning. How interesting.

"Grandpa? What gives you the right to call her Grandpa? Are you from the Herbart family?"

What? Blanche actually said Cathy didn't have the right to call Old Mrs. Cathy Grandma! But her words really touched Cathy on the raw.

Old Mrs. Herbart was a sly fox who seemed to have seen through Cathy's thoughts a long time ago. She always treated Cathy indifferently.

"I think this woman is too arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson. She really thinks she's Mrs. Herbart. I can tell that Louis despises her very much."

"Yes, let's teach her how to behave."

As they spoke, the two girls surrounded Blanche. Blanche frowned. Were these girls really so fierce?

Were they going to beat her up together?

"What? Do you want to fight? Alright, just go ahead."

Blanche raised an eyebrow, picked up a fruit knife next to her, and weighed it before twirling it quickly with her fingers a few times.

In an instant, the sound of the knife cutting through the air could be heard.

The two girls who had just been eager to fight were now stunned and looked at each other. Blanche seemed to have real skills.

"Miss Bird, well..."

The two girls were timid. Blanche twirled the shiny knife as if she wanted to cut through their flesh.

Blanche got up and walked forward.

"Do you want to try it? This knife has no eyes. You have delicate skin and tender flesh. If I accidentally cut you, you will be disfigured, won't you?"

The two girls were scared and backed away. Which girl didn't cherish her face? Cathy glanced at the two useless girls, but she didn't dare to approach Blanche because of the knife, either.

"Blanche, wait and see."

Cathy was unwilling to give up. She brought the two girls and walked towards the door of the lounge gloomily.

Blanche put down the knife and smiled. It seemed that learning pen spinning was useful.

After leaving the lounge, Cathy and her friends didn't leave immediately. They patted their chests and discussed.

"That knife looks too scary. Let's spare her this time."

"Yes, I agree. When she doesn't have a knife next time, we'll get even with her."

Cathy snorted inwardly. How useless they were! They only made excuses for themselves. She couldn't wait until next time.

Cathy saw two red wooden doors behind her and glanced at Blanche who was facing away from them. It was perfect.

Cathy whispered, "We don't have to wait until next time. Close the door. This lounge is very remote, and almost no one comes here. Then cut off the power supply. Let's see how she'll get out."

"Good idea. We'll close the door right away."

The two girls closed the door gently, locked it, and then unplugged the wire from the wall.

The lights in the lounge went out with a "swish." Blanche got up and couldn't see anything.

She fumbled for her phone, but unfortunately, it was out of battery. Today, while waiting for Louis outside the banquet hall, she was bored and had been playing with her phone, causing it to run out of battery.

She reached out in the direction of the door from memory. She stumbled a few times, but finally found the door. She breathed a sigh of relief and touched the door handle, but why was the door closed?

She pulled the door, but it didn't budge.

Blanche felt uneasy. The lounge door couldn't be locked, and she thought of the scene when Cathy left reluctantly. Blanche realized that it was probably Cathy who closed the door.

An hour later, the highlight of the birthday party began in the hall.

People slowly sang the birthday song as a huge multi-layered cake was pushed out.

Louis walked towards Sam.
