Chapter 635 Fall Face First
Kelly looked at the person in front of her. She knew that once she said this, everyone would agree with her, no matter who it was.
Even if the other person didn't agree, people around her would still put pressure on her.
As expected, when the "lucky star" wearing the black cat mask didn't respond immediately, everyone started teasing her.
"Of course they're willing. Ms. Harriette is giving her a property worth millions as a gift. It's not just about exchanging one mask with her; even if it were more, they'd still be willing."
"Isn't that right? If you can't even agree to this, then your perspective is really too narrow-minded."
"What's up with this lucky person? What's with their outfit? Are they wearing a bedsheet?"
Someone had noticed the bedsheet she was wrapped in.
However, the crowd was more concerned about why she hadn't yet told Harriette that she was willing to give her the mask.
After quite a while, the lucky person finally spoke slowly. "Are you sure?"
Everyone was speechless. Huh? What was there to be sure of?
Kelly smiled faintly, completely sure of her plan. She wasn't just determined to snatch her mask; she also intended to "accidentally" pull away the bedsheet wrapped around her when she removed the mask.
If she going to embarrass her, she had to make sure her face was seen.noveldrama
"Are you unwilling? Then..."
The more she didn't want to, the more Kelly would use public opinion to pressure her. After all, Kelly was very skilled at stirring up other people's emotions.
But before she had a chance to act, the "lucky star" spoke again. "Are you ready?"
It was yet another puzzling question, just like the one Kelly asked her earlier. Kelly paused for a moment.
She glanced at the person in front of her and couldn't help but inwardly scoff. Was she ready?
Ha, was this "lucky star" just talking nonsense now after getting stripped of her clothes and losing her senses?
Kelly raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and said, "Ready."
She purposely acted indifferent as she responded.
As the conversation ended, their eyes unexpectedly met, and at that moment, Kelly felt a sudden chill run down her spine. Why did she feel that way?
The woman felt too familiar that just a glance made her feel like she was seeing someone she knew. But that person...
No, it must have been an illusion. It definitely was an illusion just now. That person was already dead, so why would it seem like she saw her?
Kelly's eyes sparkled.
The "lucky star" standing in front of her had already started to move.
Rose slowly raised her hand, seemingly intending to take off her mask. However, she realized that if she did so, she wouldn't have a free hand to hold onto the sheet that was wrapped around her body.
There was nothing else she could do, so she had to seek help from the person closest to her. She looked at Kelly and asked, "Could you please help me take it off, Ms. Harriette?"
Kelly snapped back to reality and looked at the person in front of her with a steady gaze. She was suddenly amused. Rose was already dead. She had witnessed her being blown up in the warehouse. She even saw the wreckage with her own eyes.
Rose's necklace was also mixed in with the wreckage, so she was absolutely certain of it. She was certain that Rose had already died, but just now, it seemed like she saw her again. How was that possible?
The person in front of her was nothing more than an insignificant pawn that she could manipulate at will. This insignificant person even had the audacity to ask her to pick up the mask for her!
She was naturally willing to help. She couldn't wait to personally tear off her mask.
"Sure, of course," Kelly replied with a sweet smile, hiding her true intentions behind it.
Rose tilted her head slightly, making it easier for Kelly to help her. During this moment, the mask separated the two faces, both of which had amused smiles as if enjoying a show.
The other people nearby were also watching the two of them. They were curious about who this "lucky person" could be to have such incredible luck!
In the quiet air, the wind blew through the mountains.
The wind caught Rose's hair and lifted it around her ears, just in time for Kelly to take advantage of the moment as if she had been "accidentally" snagged by the stray strands.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Kelly quickly apologized. Her apology made her appear more panicked.
In her panic, she took a step forward and "accidentally" stepped on the bedsheet that was trailing on the ground.
From an outsider's perspective, she was seen "earnestly" helping the "lucky one" retrieve their mask, and she was just extremely enthusiastic about it.
No one noticed the subtle, wicked smile at the corner of Kelly's mouth. Finally, the mask came off.
As soon as she took it off, the mask would come off this "ant-like" person's face.
But before that, she had to tear away the bedsheet covering her.
She had stepped onto the bedsheet with both feet just now, so everything had been prepared in advance.
At that moment, the bedsheet on her would fall off with just a gentle push, and she quickly found an opportunity.
Kelly leaned back when taking off the mask.
She was wearing high heels and somehow suddenly lost her balance. She
wobbled for a moment before eventually tipping forward.
"Ah!" Kelly exclaimed in a panic. She had no intention of faking a fall. She knew
that Miles would ensure she was never in any danger.
Miles stood near her side, and she could feel his gaze on her. If anything
happened, he would be there to protect her.
She had the confidence. So, she wasn't scared at all.
She let out a scream as a signal to Miles.
Kelly's face showed a hint of a smile beneath her expression of panic. She watched the person in front of her lean with her, knowing that only one of them would actually fall and experience the embarrassment.
This was like comparing a beautiful swan to an ugly duckling. Kelly was the swan, while the other person was the ugly duckling. Ugly ducklings should stay at the rock bottom.
But... Suddenly, the person in front of her took a few steps back, and Kelly was slightly taken aback. It all happened so quickly in just a matter of seconds.
She didn't have time to see what happened. She only felt the increasing pull of gravity on her body. Why hadn't Miles come to rescue her yet?
"Miles!" Kelly exclaimed.
This time, she truly screamed.
But even after calling out, she still hadn't gotten any help from Miles.
"Ah!"
Another cry rang out, the sound almost agonizing, perhaps due to the pain.
།
In full view of everyone, Harriette fell face-first to the ground, her whole body sprawling on the floor. Luckily, there was a sheet underneath, preventing her from falling directly onto the dirt...
No... When everyone took a closer look, they realized they were mistaken. The
sheet barely cushioned her body, but her face... ended up hitting the ground
directly.
Didn't this count as hitting rock bottom?
Her appearance was really quite... disheveled.
The air was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Kelly was completely taken by surprise by the fall. It hurt... it really hurt. Her knees, arms, chest, nose, and face hurt as well. It even felt like her teeth got hit, and there was a metallic taste in her mouth.
How did this happen?
Why did she actually fall? How could she be in such a disheveled state? What
about Miles? Why did Miles not manage to grab onto her? Countless questions filled her mind, accompanied by anger and humiliation.
Feeling wronged, she started crying, "Miles... Miles... it hurts so much."
If he couldn't grab her earlier, then he would probably be here now to comfort her properly, right?
She needed someone to help her ease the awkwardness she wad feeling right
now.
What do you think?
