    Chapter 231 Hit Me With Your Best Shot


    However, Matthias shrugged his shoulders and objected to the idea.


    “This wasn’t part of my n as broadcasting it might gain suspicion from others. Hence, I wouldn’t


    advise you to do this.”


    “Rx, I’lle up with a logical exnation. I could just say it’s an introduction video about my


    house. Everyone would think of it as a coincidence.”


    “Well, go ahead if you insist. But remember to strike at the right timing. Don’t let this chance go to


    waste.”


    “I got it,” she responded as she hid the aroma diffuser in her purse. Then, she quickly headed back to


    the mansion.


    Yvette was apletely different person when she returned to the hall. She had a smile on her face as


    spoke gently to the guests, just like how she was at the start of the banquet.


    “I bet the rumors were fake! Don’t you think it wouldn’t make sense for her to harm her father? Besides,


    how would it benefit her if Russell died?” the guests whispered among each other.


    “I agree. She doesn’t seem like she’s after the family’s wealth as well. She is the Actonwards’ only heir.


    Hence, Russell would eventually pass everything down to her. There’s no reason for her to be so


    impatient.”


    “Perhaps we’ve misunderstood her.”


    “Anyhow, I’m going over to give her a toast. It is her birthday, after all.”


    Yvette became the center of the attention in no time.


    At the same time, Arielle was quietly observing Yvette as the corner of her mouth tugged slightly. She


    then turned her gaze elsewhere as she scanned the room in search of Matthias. However, there was


    no sight of him.


    Perhaps everything’s in ce?


    At this moment, a few chefs brought out an eight-story high cake.


    “Look! Herees the cake!”


    “That’s such a beautiful cake! Yvette, why are you standing over there? Come over and cut the cake!”


    the crowd cheered.


    Yvette was quickly led by the crowd to stand by the cake.


    The lights in the hall dimmed as soon as the candles were lit, and everyone sang the birthday song.


    Yvette ced her hands together as she closed her eyes to make a wish.


    “Please allow my n to seed this time! Please help me get rid of Arielle!”


    As soon as Yvette finished making her wish, she felt that everything would most definitely go smoothly

    as nned.


    Hence, as the crowd urged her to cut the cake, she looked up and passed the cake-cutting knife to


    Arielle.


    Arielle looked at her in confusion, just like an innocent child.


    Yvette secretly sneered in her heart while responded with gratitude, “You save my father, and I won’t


    forget this. Hence, you should cut the cake!”


    At that, Arielle smiled and shook her head, “It’s your birthday. How can I take the limelight away from


    you like that? I think you should do it yourself.”


    However, Yvette shoved the knife into her hands. “Absolutely not! You have to do this! You’ve done


    nothing but good for our family! No one but you deserves to cut this cake!” Yvette exined as she led


    Arielle to the cake.


    Nheless, Arielle did not show any traces of panic or surprise but calmly observed her instead.


    I believe this is the start of Matthias’ n. Should I go with it? Or not?


    Of course I have to y along! I need to know what tricks she has in store for me!


    Sure enough, Arielle heard Yvette cried out as she was walking to the side of the cake. She turned and


    saw her falling toward her.


    Consequently, the cake was situated right behind Arielle.


    Arielle could have easily avoided it, yet she purposely pretended she was taken back by Yvette’s


    “idental” fall. So, she allowed her to fall on her as Arielle fell backward against the cake.
