The ball kicked off with everyone's anticipation. I looked at the two individuals standing at the door, masks donned but looking helpless, and could not help but smile. I walked up to them and could not hold myself back from saying, "I say, you two ought to look happier. Everyone who’s arrived does.”Even with her mask on, I could clearly see Shannon roll her eyes at me. Giving a stamp to the person who had just arrived, she replied, "If I knew I’d be the usher here, I wouldn’t have agreed to you.”“Exactly. Also, this stamp thing makes it look like we’re a nightclub,” Marius complained.I could not help but pout at what they said. "You can go in and play in a while when there are no more people. Hang in there!"With that, I went inside.At a glance, I saw Theo in the corner. He looked out of place in his formal clothes but seemed to fit in more with the mask on his face.I wondered if he could recognize me.Thinking this, I grabbed a glass of red wine and walked toward him.I

Someone else also showed up today, someone I did not expect.Cindy had brought Arthur over and I was stunned.“Hello, I’m Arthur Doyle. We meet again.”It was such a surprise.I greeted back in a friendly manner. “Hello.”“His shoot ended early today so I thought of bringing him over to relax. Help me look after him.” Cindy entrusted Arthur to me.Since we had met only once, I was not too familiar with him. I felt a little awkward after Cindy left and could only engage in stunted conversation with him. Fortunately, Shannon appeared.“Wanda, so there you are. Who is this?”I was still thinking about how to introduce Arthur when he introduced himself, "Hello, I’m Arthur.”Shannon tilted her head and looked at him carefully, "You look a lot like the new guy who became popular recently. Arthur Doyle, was it?”"It's me."Her eyes widened at Arthur’s admission. "For real? Wanda, since when did you know celebrities?”"It's not me. Cindy’s the one who brought him here. He’s an ar

The masquerade ball ended amidst laughter and joy.Shannon and Arthur seemed to have got along very well. They even privately made an appointment to meet each other for the second time. However, since Arthur was an idol, if Shannon were really interested in him, she would inevitably face a lot of problems in the future. Still, this was for a later time. I myself drank a lot tonight. Although I was a little tipsy, I was still sober, just a little red in the face.Theo glanced at me while driving and shook his head slightly. "You didn’t actually have to drink so sincerely.""I was happy. It's okay since it’s once in a while." I smiled in response to his words.Looking out the window, at the flashing lights, I could not help but let my thoughts float.I thought again of what Sylvester told me at the dance.The truth about my mother…"What are you thinking about?" Theo's words broke my thoughts.I wanted to discuss this with Theo and since he had asked, I told him about it honest

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Zeke."I took out some free time and went looking for Gareth.The housekeeper looked at me carefully and recognized me before slowly responding, "I'm sorry. Miss Lane but Mr. Zeke is on a business trip and won’t be around for a few days. I’m afraid you will have to come back in two days.""How unfortunate, then I'll come back another day." I thanked the housekeeper and turned to leave. I bumped into a woman who had flowers in her hand when I reached an intersection. "I'm sorry, are you all right?""It's okay."She had a nice voice and looked to be in her early forties.Gareth’s household was the only one here. Could she have also come to look for him?"Did you also come for Mr. Zeke? He went on a business trip,” I informed her.The woman looked up at me and froze.I could clearly see the shock in her eyes and she proceeded to stare at me for a long time.Her increasingly warm gaze made me a little uncomfortable and I stepped back. "I'm sorry. I’ll

Shannon’s interest was suddenly piqued when she heard this. She pulled out the chair opposite me and sat down. “How did you find out about it then?”"When I was chatting with Theo in the office, he actually said, intentionally or not, that he trusted Keith. It was probably a reminder to me but I thought it was a little strange. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I only probably truly found out the day Keith looked for me alone.”"He came to you alone? Was he not afraid of being discovered?"I looked at Shannon and smiled slightly. "I bumped into him when I went to the best that time. He told me a lot of things at the time but he said something at the end before he left.”"What was it?"His words were still so exceptionally clear in my mind."He said he wouldn't participate. I couldn’t figure out what he meant at first but then I considered how calm Theo had been and all the clues that had been scattered about and guessed their plan."Shannon looked like she understood

The room was not cleaner than the living room. It was like a pig’s den.My eyes had gone wide, I had never seen such a messy room in all the years I was alive."Are you… raising pigs in here?”Marius hurriedly came in front of me to block my view before pushing me out. "I already told you not to go in. Now my image is completely ruined."He looked frustrated.As it turned out, he was nervous because of this.I cleared my throat and replied, "How about I help you tidy up?""No. if President Grant finds out, he’ll have my head." Marius waved his hand repeatedly as he closed the door behind him with the other hand.After confirming that Marius was okay, I could finally relax. "Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow."Marius likely caught the change in my expression and smiled treacherously. "Judging from your range of expressions, did you think I was going to move away?"Admittedly, I did."Yes. Your living room made it look like you were going to leave. I was shocked. I’m telling yo

My heart was heavy as I stepped through the gates of Yard Mansion again. Every step I took felt like my feet had been chained like it took a lot from me just to move them.Sylvester was standing at the door to greet me. When he saw me, his face broke into a smile."I knew you would come.""You'd better not play any tricks."I was not deceived by his smile. It looked to me like nothing more than a disguise.Sylvester shrugged, the expression on his face seemed harmless. "Don't worry. We don’t have that many tricks to play. You can leave immediately after you understand what happened. Come with me."I followed Sylvester to the study.The place looked the same as it did before.Pushing open the door and entering, I caught the scent of sandalwood.Silas was in his chair. He looked in our direction when he heard us and he pointed to the seat opposite him, motioning for me to sit down.I made my way over and sat down. "Let’s hear it.""What do you want to know?""Didn’t you say t

I found Sylvester’s words ridiculous.My gaze lowered, the corners of my mouth unconsciously hooked upwards. "If you had no plans on saying anything, why pick this crucial time to tell me? Rather than letting me know this late, you should have kept me in the dark for the rest of my life!"I spoke rather agitatedly. I did not know how to face Theo now.I did not use to feel anything about my mother but after going to where my mother had been and after staying where she had stayed, even watching her video, it would be a lie if I said I still felt nothing.Silas coughed a few times. He did not seem to be doing well recently.I heard him sigh heavily before a hoarse voice left his throat. "I thought about that but I don't want you to live so happily.”I looked up at him, Silas's smile was so ugly.My heart froze over.What a frightful and hateful man!"I finally know why Mom hates you so much," I watched him as I bit out every word.Silas did not feel anything of it. He leaned ba
