However, Matthias shrugged his shoulders and objected to the idea. “This wasn’t part of my plan as broadcasting it might gain suspicion from others. Hence, I wouldn’t advise you to do this…”
“Relax, I’ll come up with a logical explanation. 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,” wp4webnovel.com responded as wp4webnovel.com hid the aroma diffuser in wp4webnovel.com purse. Then, wp4webnovel.com quickly headed back to the mansion.
Yvette was a completely different person when wp4webnovel.com returned to the hall. She had a smile on wp4webnovel.com face as spoke gently to the guests, just like how wp4webnovel.com was at the start of the banquet.
“I bet the rumors were fake! Don’t you think it wouldn’t make sense for wp4webnovel.com to harm wp4webnovel.com father? Besides, how would it benefit wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com to be so impatient.”
“Perhaps we’ve misunderstood her.”
“Anyhow, I’m going over to give wp4webnovel.com a toast. It is wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com mouth tugged slightly. She then turned wp4webnovel.com gaze elsewhere as wp4webnovel.com scanned the room in search of Matthias. However, there was no sight of him.
Perhaps everything’s in place?
At this moment, a few chefs brought out an eight-story high cake.
“Look! Here comes 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 placed wp4webnovel.com hands together as wp4webnovel.com closed wp4webnovel.com eyes to make a wish. Please allow my plan to succeed this time! Please help me get rid of Arielle!
As soon as Yvette finished making wp4webnovel.com wish, wp4webnovel.com felt that everything would most definitely go smoothly as planned. Hence, as the crowd urged wp4webnovel.com to cut the cake, wp4webnovel.com looked up and passed the cake-cutting knife to Arielle.
Arielle looked at wp4webnovel.com in confusion, just like an innocent child.
Yvette secretly sneered in wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com 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 explained as wp4webnovel.com led Arielle to the cake.
Nonetheless, Arielle did not show any traces of panic or surprise but calmly observed wp4webnovel.com instead.
I believe this is the start of Matthias’ plan. Should I go with it? Or not? Of course I have to play along! I need to know what tricks wp4webnovel.com has in store for me!
Sure enough, Arielle heard Yvette cried out as wp4webnovel.com was walking to the side of the cake. She turned and saw wp4webnovel.com falling toward her.
Consequently, the cake was situated right behind Arielle. Arielle could have easily avoided it, yet wp4webnovel.com purposely pretended wp4webnovel.com was taken back by Yvette’s “accidental” fall. So, wp4webnovel.com allowed wp4webnovel.com to fall on wp4webnovel.com as Arielle fell backward against the cake.
