Chapter 228


    Chapter 228,A Beauty with Multiple Masks


    Arielle grew excited. There were plenty of guests here, so this piece of news would spread quickly in


    their circle. I wonder how Henrick will react after finding out about it? Her expression remained


    doubtful. “Shandie, this isn’t the time to spout nonsense. Hurry, tell us about the dress,” she reminded


    Shandie grimly. Realization dawned on Shandie as she turned to Russell and divulged, “Uncle Russell,


    I’m telling the truth!


    I had been in the monastery all along and only got to return today. I have plenty of witnesses! If you


    investigate about it, you’ll find out where the dress came from!” Russell couldn’t quite catch up with the


    turn of events. He remained silent for a while before announcing, “I shall get to the bottom of this.”


    “Dad!” Yvette stomped her feet and came up with a lie. “I did send Ari… Shandie a dress, but I swear


    on Guzzur’s name that it was a white dress instead of this one. Someone must’ve exchanged it to


    frame me!” Yvette’s gazended on Arielle once she said that. Nevertheless, Russell trusted Arielle


    and didn’t connect the matter to her.


    “That’s enough! I’ll investigate the matter and get to the bottom of it. Shandie, change your clothes and


    go back home. Yvette, you… Forget it. Before I find out the truth, we shall stop talking about this


    matter!” In the end, Russell chose not to trust Shandie’s deration for Yvette was his daughter, after


    all.


    There was no way he’d believe his daughter tried to kill him just because of what Shandie said. Still, he


    made up his mind to get to the bottom of it. Yvette could heave a sigh of relief for now. She still had


    time to cover up her mistake and get a scapegoat to take the me. In the meantime, Shandie was


    also relieved, as she was no longer used of being a murderer.


    Still, she didn’t stop to think of the consequences of her previous statement and only thought that she


    had gotten out of trouble. Edmund released Shandie and led her out of the back door. The party went


    on as usual. As expected, the housekeeper in the room quickly spread the juicy gossip around. Soon,


    everyone at the party started discussing the gossip happily. Arielle bribed the Actonwards’


    housekeeper to spread the word that Yvette was the one who sent the dress to Shandie.


    The guests at the birthday party were extremely excited as they talked about tonight’s events. As the


    star of the party, Yvette was ignored by everyone.


    What was worse was that she even heard the guests gossiping and criticizing her. She had no choice


    but to pretend not to hear them. Otherwise, the guests might spread a new rumor about her. After that,


    Yvette couldn’t bring herself to mill around the hall as though nothing had happened, so she stepped


    out of the house for a breather when no one else was noticing.


    At the door, a man d in a ck tuxedo and ck top hat stood in her way. Yvette red at him with


    a frown marring her face, prompting him to exin why he was blocking her way. The man lifted his hat


    and revealed his eyes.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
