Chapter 236 You Are Finally Here
Yvette smiled proudly. “Since everyone wants to have a look. Why don’t I show you right now? I’ve installed surveillance cameras in every room to ensure the safety of my house. Let me ask someone to bring the projector so that we can all see it together. Even the guestrooms in my house have unique designs. However, the designer I hired is rather young, so I’d appreciate any form of feedback about the designs.”
The young woman didn’t know that she was being used as a pawn. “Alright!” She nodded her head enthusiastically.
Quickly, Yvette brought out the projector.
Various designs of the rooms were soon displayed on the screen.
Originally, only a few women had gathered to watch. As time passed, many bored guests began to flock over to view the designs.
Although the designer who the Actonwards hired was young, he was an internationally renowned interior designer.
The guests were amazed by the beautiful designs as they watched on with admiration. Even the guest rooms had been built elaborately to resemble fancy hotel rooms.
Hence, they started murmuring excitedly amongst themselves. “This design is amazing!”
On the other hand, Yvette had different thoughts. When Arielle’s room is shown, you won’t think that that way anymore. It’s going to be an extremely disgusting and debauched display!
But when Yvette thought about Arielle having a great figure, she became jealous. I’m sure that the male guests will drool over the footage.
Finally, Yvette’s wishes were answered as the room that Arielle was in was shown.
Yvette felt her heart pounding erratically in her chest. She was so excited that she found herself holding her breath in anticipation. A dangerous gleam flickered in her eyes, her gaze so sharp that it looked like a cat that swallowed a canary.
It’s here! It’s finally here!
The camera panned around to show the room’s entrance.
“Is the entrance made out of pear wood?” one of the guests exclaimed in admiration. “It’s so beautiful!”
Yvette offered the guest a gracious smile, yet deep down, she was snickering evilly. There’s something even better to watch later!
The camera paused at the entrance for a brief moment before turning to enter the room.
Yvette was so excited that it felt like her heart might leap out of her throat.
Finally, the bed was displayed in the surveillance footage.
The excitement had Yvette on the edge of her seat. Yet, the suspense ended abruptly. The bed was empty. Although the bedsheets looked rumpled, there wasn’t any trace of Arielle nor Mason.
W-what is this?
In the blink of an eye, Yvette’s face lost its smugness as her mood took a drastic turn.
Right at that moment, a slender and fair hand patted her shoulder. “What are you watching, Yvette?” A clear voice echoed behind her.
This voice…
Yvette’s back stiffened and forced herself to turn around rigidly. Right away, Yvette was greeted with the sight of Arielle’s brilliant smile.
In the blink of an eye, Yvette’s face drained of any color. “Why are you here?” she cried out in utter disbelief.
Immediately, Arielle acted as if she had been wronged. “I didn’t think that my clothes were too dirty. Thus, I came downstairs after cleaning it up. What’s the matter? Am I not allowed to be here?”
The sight of Arielle’s innocent and puzzled gaze forced Yvette to snap out of her momentary shock. “Not at all; I was just surprised that you came downstairs so quickly,” she remarked with a reluctant smile. “D-did you see someone else while you were upstairs?”
Arielle tilted her head in confusion. “Who are you talking about? I didn’t see anyone at all.”
“Okay… I think one of my friends got lost,” Yvette replied hurriedly. “Let me take a look.” With that, she hurtled upstairs at a frenzied pace.
I clearly instructed Mason to look for Arielle! I even lighted the aromatherapy candle a long time ago! Why does Arielle look like she’s unaffected by it? Does this mean that the object that Matthias gave me is completely useless? What on earth is happening?
