Back in the hall.
Russell took the mic and started his speech on the platform, “Today is my daughter, Yvette's, birthday. Thank you all for coming to her party tonight. As her father, my only wish is for her happiness and well-being. Yvette, happy birthday!”
Then, Yvette made her way onto the stage to give Russell a hug.
“Thanks, Dad. And also, thanks to everyone for coming to my party.”
A thunderous applause erupted in the hall.
Just then, Russell's eyes widened in shock. He looked terrified while pointing at the entrance. “T-That...”
The guests were confused at the drastic change in his expression. Subconsciously, they looked in the direction where he was pointing and saw Shandie standing at the door, looking baffled.
Since Shandie had wasted much time dealing with the bodyguards earlier, she hastily rushed into the house, afraid that she might be late.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Russell standing on the platform, pointing at her. The man's face was a look of anger and terror.
As others turned around, their expressions stiffened as if they had seen something out of this world.
A first, Shandie had no idea what was going on until the ear-piercing sound of Russell's mic dropping grated her ears. That was when she suddenly recalled that black color was taboo for Russell.
She, unfortunately, had dressed in black from head to toe!
At that instant, her face was drained of all colors, and her mind went blank.
Why is Uncle Russell back?
Meanwhile, the guests were all staring at her and gossiping about her.
“Mr. Actonward is here today, so how could she dress in black? Is she here to ruin the party?”
“Whose daughter is she? How wicked! Didn't she know that black color is taboo for the Guzzurns? Black outfits are only allowed at a funeral.”
