“What's happening now? Is Russell going to punish Mason right here?”
“Doesn't look like it, though.”
“D*mn. I'm so glad I made it in time for this!”
“Am I the only one who finds it strange that none of the Bakers has turned up for Yvette's birthday party? No matter how busy they are, surely they can afford to come over for a while?”
“Perhaps the Bakers already knew what a shameless and promiscuous woman Yvette is!”
Arielle remained silent even as the guests continued with their fervent discussion and speculations.
She had already guessed Russell's next course of action, but thankfully, she had a backup plan.
Arielle was no saint, and she especially couldn't forgive Yvette for wanting to destroy her reputation. For those who loved her, she loved them fiercely back. But for those who meant her harm, it was an eye for an eye. Thus, Arielle was determined to let Yvette have a taste of her own medicine.
Why isn't Vinson back yet, though? It has been so long. Could he have run into some obstacles?
Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of his guests, Russell calmly led Mason onto the stage.
This time, however, Russell was in a different state of mind.
The first time he stood on the stage, he was happily celebrating his daughter's birthday. Now, he was going to have to put on a pretense and
lie through his teeth.
Russell accepted the microphone from his housekeeper and took a deep breath.
It was tough having to face a group of guests, who had only swarmed in to watch the show. Russell wanted nothing more than to chase all of them out, but he knew he couldn't do that.
