Chapter 629 Chosen by Her
Regalia was quite opulent, with many upscale locations. Among all the prime spot villas owned by the Young family, why did they choose to stay here?
"Don't you like it here?" Miles frowned. "When you were a kid, you said this was your favorite place!"
When she was a child...
Kelly was suddenly alarmed and asked, "Why wouldn't I like it? I do like it very much. I just didn't expect you to arrange the dinner party here."
Kelly was very cautious. There was nothing about this place in the information Lizzie had about Harriette.
However, Kelly didn't have any doubts.
Before Harriette disappeared, there were so many things going on that Lizzie couldn't possibly know everything about her.
Besides, this could be something only Harriette and Miles knew, so she had to adapt to the situation on the fly.
Sure enough, Miles' voice came from beside her, reflecting on past memories. "That year, when you first arrived at the Young family, it was your birthday. We came here together, and you said this was your favorite place."
"Yes, this is my favorite place," Kelly quickly agreed. She dared not say more, afraid that saying too much might lead to mistakes.
Fortunately, Miles didn't pursue the topic any further.
Kelly took a silent, deep breath to compose herself. After meeting with the
makeup artist, they immediately started on her makeup.
Miles was sitting nearby, listening to Kelly explain to the makeup artist what she wanted. Half an hour later, Kelly seemed dissatisfied with the makeup.
"I told you, I don't want bold makeup. Keep it subtle. Look at this, just look..." Kelly was clearly upset.
Miles looked over.
Kelly looked into the mirror and caught sight of Miles. She pretended to look upset. "Miles, you see, Rose just left us. I don't want to be too showy..."
Miles frowned, seemingly displeased with the makeup as well.
Kelly's heart suddenly started racing. Was he also thinking that this makeup was too bold? He had to be thinking about Rose...
At this moment, the makeup artist she hired helped out by saying, "Ms. Harriette, since you are wearing a white gown, it would look odd if the makeup is too plain. This makeup complements the style of the gown..."
Miles said in a serious tone, "He's right. Let's go with that."
He lowered his eyes with a hint of guilt, as if he had made a compromise on something.
Kelly secretly felt proud of herself. He chose to disappoint Rose in favor of allowing her to shine. How wonderful!
"But, Rose..."
Kelly pretended to be reluctant, and as expected, Miles reassured her, saying, "It's alright. Everyone is watching you today. Don't stress about it."
Kelly seemed to have wrestled with her thoughts for quite a while before she reluctantly agreed.noveldrama
She mumbled with feigned guilt, "Rose, I'm sorry."
Miles's eyes narrowed slightly to hear her mumbling, "Rose, I'm sorry".
Her insincere apology should be saved for a genuine moment of remorse in front of Rose.
Kelly didn't notice the brief cold glint in Miles' eyes. She had successfully put on makeup to her satisfaction, and next, she would change out of the gown she was wearing.
She thought about the red gown she admired, and her heart filled with excited anticipation. How could she legitimately make the change?
Kelly smiled with satisfaction and looked at Miles affectionately while linking her arm with his. "Miles, is it time already? I'm ready."
"Alright, let's go."
Miles took her out of the room.
At that moment, the guests were all in the villa's garden. Although the villa was situated in the mountains, it appeared to be well-maintained and had been carefully arranged and decorated.
With the lights illuminating the night, the atmosphere was unexpectedly enjoyable.
The guests in the garden had started drinking alcohol.
Kelly glanced around at the crowd gathered to celebrate her, noting that everyone was wearing masks, which made her pause for a moment.
At that moment, someone handed over two masks.
Kelly looked at Miles with surprise. "Miles, this..."
"When I had others prepare this dinner party, I specified that it needed to be innovative. This might be their idea of innovation," Miles said as he picked up a mask.
He left the man's mask alone and handed the woman's mask to her, saying, "This
is quite interesting, why not... try it on?"
The man's mask had a style reminiscent of a black knight.
The lady's mask was a white fox mask, and underneath the mask, white pearl tassels swung gently, giving off a lively charm.
The white mask complemented her white dress perfectly. However, it didn't quite match the red gown she planned to wear later.
At that moment, she didn't have a reason to change her mask. Kelly decided to wait a bit longer, and when she changed her gown later, she could change the mask then.
"Alright." Kelly nodded cheerfully and put on the mask. She then walked into the crowd with Miles.
In the crowd, most people were talking about how Miles gave 59% of his shares to his sister, praising his affection for her.
Miles truly cared for her deeply. Just like that, 59% of the shares were being given away...
"Miles, you treat me really well." Kelly felt a bit moved to hear the conversations around her.
Miles smiled without saying a word. Treated her well?
"I hope you will always feel that I treat you well," Miles hinted subtly.
Kelly didn't catch on to his implied meaning and simply replied, "Of course, Miles will always be good to me."
She firmly believed in Miles's feelings for Harriette. And, she was Harriette!
Kelly casually grabbed a glass of alcohol and leisurely looked for an opportunity to "accidentally" spill and stain her gown. During this, her gaze inadvertently landed on someone.
To be precise, her gaze landed on a mask. The mask was black and shaped like a
cat's face.
At just a glance, she was drawn to that mask. She thought it would go perfectly with her red gown!
The woman wearing the mask was also dressed in a red gown, perfectly complementing the mask and creating a seamless look.
Kelly narrowed her eyes slightly. She wanted to grab that mask.
However, before that, she needed to change into the red gown. She had also
found the unlucky person she planned to swindle.
Kelly decided to go with her. She didn't know who it was, but they had good taste and a nice figure.
Still, despite her looks and figure, after tonight, she was going to lose her job at Young Group.
Kelly subtly smiled and casually walked in that direction.
The closer she got to that woman, the stronger the malice in her heart grew. She was completely focused
on her scheme, not noticing Miles
ve
beside her, whose gaze was becoming increasingly cold and intense.
Suddenly, there was a shout. "Ah!"
The hoarse cry suddenly drew the attention of everyone around.
Everyone was wearing masks, and those who were familiar with each other might be able to recognize who by their voices. As for
who
was
the one who just shouted, they were all too familiar with it.
Harriette faced a life full of challenges and hardships. She was injured in her early
years, damaging her vocal cords, so her voice had always sounded different from
others.
And that voice belonged to none other than Harriette, who was different from the
others!
What was going on? What was happening? What happened with Harriette?
What do you think?
