Chapter 237 The Protagonist Has Changed
The more she pondered about it, the more Yvette felt confused. She moved as quick as a hare. I need to go upstairs and find out what happened!
Due to Yvette’s hastiness, she did not notice that Arielle was staring intensely behind her. A cold smile spread across Arielle’s face when she saw Yvette panicking.
At the same time, one of the guests clasped Arielle’s arm. “Ms. Moore, are you alright?”
Arielle’s smile melted off her face as she turned to face the guest. “What is everyone looking at?” she asked him.
The guest answered her question warmly. “We were looking at the designs of the Actonwards’ mansion. Ms. Yvette is so considerate. A few guests mentioned that they wanted to explore the mansion, so she immediately moved a projector here to show it to us. The mansion’s rooms are being displayed right now.”
Hearing the guest’s explanation, Arielle shifted her gaze to the screen. True to his words, there were surveillance cameras fixed in every room.
Seems like Yvette had intended to broadcast it live! Well, that’s too bad because the protagonist of her little show has changed.
Once again, a small smile twitched Arielle’s lips upwards. “Can I look at the previous rooms? I missed quite a few of them when I was upstairs earlier,” she asked the housekeeper.
“Of course, once we finish looking at the other rooms. We’ll go through them once again!” the housekeeper exclaimed.
“Thanks.” Despite Arielle’s grin, there wasn’t a trace of humor present in her eyes.
Since Cindy and Yvette tried to play such lowly tricks on me, I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine.
On the second floor, Yvette finally arrived at the room that Arielle was in earlier.
However, Yvette did not burst into the room right away. Instead, she waited until the screen at the hall had stopped playing the surveillance footage within this room before she stepped in.
The room was empty, and not a single soul was in sight.
Slowly, Yvette surveyed the room carefully until her gaze fell on the candle that she placed.
She noted that it was still burning.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t worried. After all, Matthias informed that the drug within the aromatherapy candle would diffuse after ten minutes. After fifteen minutes, it would vanish without a trace in the air.
It has been more than fifteen minutes since I lit the candle, so I’m safe.
After that, Yvette wandered toward the bed. Apparently, she couldn’t seem to grasp an answer to the question. Why didn’t Arielle fall under the drug’s influence? I might as well call Mason and ask him about it.
Just as she was about to call him, Yvette heard a noise from the toilet. It sounded like someone was inside.
“Who’s there?” Yvette frowned and called out.
The bathroom door swung open, and Yvette’s eyes widened as round as saucers when she saw the man that stumbled out of the bathroom. Jordan! Why is he here?
Immediately, Yvette felt a mixture of delight and shock. Did Jordan regret breaking our engagement? Is that why he’s here?
For a moment, Yvette couldn’t believe her own eyes. She rubbed her hands over both her eyes to clear her vision before opening them again. Yet, the man standing before her was still Jordan.
Similarly, a look of delight and astonishment crossed Jordan’s face when he saw her.
Standing right by the door, Mason had just awoken when he saw Yvette.
Just as he opened his mouth to ask Yvette what happened, Yvette hurried toward him excitedly, much to his surprise.
Throughout the past, Yvette had never looked at him with such a tender and loving gaze. Her warm look caused him to seize up in shock.
Yvette then made her way toward Mason. “Why… are you here?” she asked him carefully.
