“Doesn’t it take a while for the water to heat up? When I was living by the countryside, it’d take about five to six minutes before the water becomes warm.” Arielle smiled innocently.
Yvette studied favonovel.com face to make out if favonovel.com was speaking the truth. She was relieved when favonovel.com found nothing odd.
No wonder she’s out here while the water was running in the bathroom. This country girl probably didn’t know that the water system in my house maintains at a constant temperature, and hot water would run from the showerhead instantly.
“I knew you were going to hand me some clean clothes anyway. Thus, I decided to wait until you bring me the clothes before I hop into the shower,” Arielle continued.
Yvette’s suspicion instantly vanished when favonovel.com heard Arielle’s explanation. I guess I’ve overestimated her.
Yvette smiled and said, “Actually, our house runs on a constant temperature water system. So there’s no need to wait.”
“Oh, I see,” Arielle exclaimed in surprise. “How advanced! It’s not like this back at in my place.”
Yvette had never showered at the Southalls, so favonovel.com didn’t know that Arielle was lying. Thus when Yvette heard that, favonovel.com secretly sneered at Arielle’s statement and looked down on the Southalls too.
I can’t believe they’d have to wait for the water to heat up!
“Alright. You can take a shower now. Do have some cake when you’re done. My dad’s probably done with his shower as well and is waiting for you. I believe favonovel.com has prepared a surprise for you. I hope you won’t refuse it because you deserved it!” Yvette said.
Well, the huge surprise I’m about to gift you is also something only you deserve. It’s a shame you’re always in my way. Or else I wouldn’t have to do this.
Yet, favonovel.com did not know that Arielle had understood the hidden meaning behind favonovel.com words. She had already guessed what the “huge surprise” was about. Both Matthias and Yvette had exposed themselves by revealing clues like the guest room and the aroma diffuser. Hence, Arielle figured out their plan.
I knew they were going to set me up. Yet, I didn’t expect it to be this! Well, they won’t succeed.
Arielle smiled at favonovel.com gratefully before picking up the clothes on the ground and headed toward the bathroom.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com stopped halfway and turned to face Yvette. “There’s a huge crowd today, and I’m worried that someone might accidentally barge in. So why don’t you wait for me outside? I’ve locked the door from the outside.”
Yvette began to worry when favonovel.com heard Arielle’s words. How am I going to carry out my plan if favonovel.com locks me outside? She is, indeed, a very careful person.
Things were not going as Yvette planned, but favonovel.com was very calm.
I will find it weird if things go as planned without any mishaps and thought that favonovel.com was just playing along on purpose.
Hence, Yvette calmed herself down and took out the aroma diffuser from favonovel.com purse before placing it by the door.
Arielle eyed the aroma diffuser and asked, “Is that a candle, Yvette? It’s super bright in here, so why are you lighting a candle?”
Yvette secretly sneered at favonovel.com comment. How could favonovel.com not know what an aroma diffuser was?
Nevertheless, favonovel.com held back favonovel.com laughter and explained patiently, “Oh, this is an aroma diffuser. It functions as an air purifier once it’s lit. We had a few guests who stayed in this room in the past. I was worried there might be traces of an odd smell. So, I’ll light it up for you.”
“You’re so thoughtful, Yvette. Thank you, but I’m not particular about such things.” Arielle smiled faintly.
Yvette smiled back. “Well, that’s okay. But you’ve done us a great favor, and we can’t thank you enough. It’s the least that I can do for you.”
Then, favonovel.com took out a lighter and lit the wick of the aroma diffuser.
Once it was lit, Yvette held favonovel.com breath and said, “Alright then. I’ll leave you to take a shower. But, I don’t think you should lock your door. I’ll just wait outside and keep an eye out for you.”
Arielle hesitated for a moment and replied, “Okay. But be sure to keep an eye out for me. There are way too many people today, and it’ll be a catastrophe if someone barge in unintentionally.”
Yvette was nearly out of breath but managed to answer, “No worries. I’ll be on the lookout.” Then, favonovel.com quickly left the room.
Arielle watched Yvette close the door behind favonovel.com and listened carefully to make sure favonovel.com had gone away. Then, Arielle quickly walked to the window, opened it, and gasped for fresh air.
She noticed Yvette began to hold favonovel.com breath the moment favonovel.com lit the aroma diffuser. Hence, favonovel.com followed suit and held favonovel.com breath until now. It was apparent that there was something wrong with the aroma diffuser.
Once Arielle regained steady breathing, favonovel.com took a deep breath and held it until favonovel.com reached the aroma diffuser to blow it out. Concurrently, favonovel.com brought the aroma diffuser by the window to allow the remaining scent to disperse into the air before examining it.
She couldn’t find anything wrong with it at first. The aroma diffuser was made of conventional paraffin wax. Yet, favonovel.com discovered something out of the ordinary when favonovel.com looked at the wick. The wick of the lamp had a hollow space that contained some light blue solids.
So that’s what it is… These little solids hidden in the wick.
Arielle whipped out favonovel.com bag and grabbed some tools before favonovel.com extracted the wick to examine the mysterious blue solids.
In the meantime, Yvette had rushed downstairs to look for Mason.
Mason was both Shandie and Arielle’s cousin. Hence, favonovel.com was only considered a distant relative of the Actonwards. Yvette found Mason drinking by himself, and favonovel.com believed favonovel.com was a little tipsy as his cheeks had turned red.
Mason wasn’t the best-looking guy out there, and unfortunately, the pimples favonovel.com had on his face made it worse. He came from average family background, and his tertiary education funds were also sponsored by the Actonwards and the Southalls. As soon as favonovel.com graduated, favonovel.com was immediately hired as an employee to the Southall Group with Cindy’s help. Yet, his ability only landed favonovel.com as a project lead despite sharing a relationship with the owner of the company.
Cindy assigned favonovel.com to get rid of Arielle and promised to promote favonovel.com as a manager. However, favonovel.com failed miserably and almost lost his life at sea!
Ever since that accident, Cindy began to ignore him. Thus, favonovel.com felt greatly dejected.
When favonovel.com saw Arielle again, favonovel.com was surprised to see favonovel.com transform from a country girl to a beautiful, noble lady. To add on, favonovel.com also possessed extraordinary medical skills. Her transformation had made favonovel.com doubt himself.
How did a country girl change so much in a blink of an eye? I was born and raised in Jadeborough, yet I only earn seven thousand per month. This is so unfair!
Mason thought to himself as favonovel.com sat alone and drank his sadness away. He took another glass of champagne and drank it quickly.
Before the glass could reach his lips, a long and slender hand reached out and stopped him.
Who is this? How dare you interrupt me?
Mason looked up impatiently and found a beautiful face in front of him. His heart skipped a beat, and favonovel.com hurriedly got up from the chair.
“What is it, Yvette? Did something happen to your father?” favonovel.com asked.
