Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3266

Jenny Jordan's expression shifted. Sara glanced back at her with a sweet, mocking smile. "Don't misunderstand. I'm talking about this hotel. It looks upscale and luxurious, but the carpets are an absolute tripping hazard. Isn't that just incredibly tacky?"

If she hadn't said *don't misunderstand*, it might have passed, but the blatant clarification was a direct slap in the face.

Unable to throw a tantrum, Jenny dug her heel into the carpet and forced a stiff laugh. "I'll definitely be filing a complaint with the manager later."

She quickly pivoted, feigning concern as she looked at Norah. "Norah, are you okay?"

A server rushed over to help clean up, but the red wine stain was painfully obvious against the pristine fabric of Norah's white shirt.

Norah sighed and looked at Adrian. "I'll just head home after dinner."

If she left, Jenny's entire plan would fall apart. Achieving her goal, Jenny widened her eyes in innocent dismay. "I'm so sorry! But tonight is supposed to be your celebration. It wouldn't feel right for the rest of us to go out without you."

Sara sneered inwardly. So this was the manipulative bitch's real game.

"She's right, it wouldn't be appropriate," Sara chimed in smoothly. "But luckily, I went shopping on my lunch break and bought a new shirt. It's right here in my bag. Norah and I are about the same size, so we can just swap in the restroom and keep the party going."

Jenny's face paled. She had orchestrated the spill specifically to send Norah packing, leaving her free to cozy up to Adrian at 9th Mansion. Sara was deliberately ruining everything.

Adrian nodded in agreement. "Go change. We'll head out as soon as you're done."

Sara grabbed her bag and hooked her arm through Norah's, leading her toward the restroom.

The private dining room's restroom was spacious and luxurious. The moment the door clicked shut, Sara's friendly facade dropped. "What a two-faced snake!"

Norah stared at her ruined shirt in the mirror, her tone mild. "She has a crush on Adrian."

"Well, that explains it!" Sara's realization dawned. She walked over and inspected Norah's sleeve. "This is custom-made, isn't it? It costs a fortune, and that stain is never coming out. You really should make that little snake pay for it."

Norah chuckled, feeling entirely innocent of the hostility directed at her. "I should make Adrian pay for it."

"Exactly!" Sara laughed.

Norah reached for her buttons. "Give me a minute, I need to change."

"What, afraid I'll look?" Sara teased, leaning against the counter. "I'm not leaving. If you don't let me watch, you don't get the shirt."
