As Cheyenne's mocking words fell, both the Parry siblings blushed and became visibly angry. This woman must have grown bolder because she had Kelvin backing her up.
Seeing that the perfectly fine banquet was about to turn into a quarrel because of her foolish sister, Teagan hurriedly asked Nora to escort her away while he accompanied the esteemed guests.
Though Danielle was unwilling, she was silenced by a glance from Teagan and could only leave with frustration.
Before leaving, Nora took a deliberate look at Cheyenne, waiting to unravel the shock and confusion within her heart.
For example, why did she end up with Kelvin again?
Why did Teagan invite these two to the banquet?
From what she knew, the Parry family and the Foley family were not particularly close, nor did they engage in frequent business exchanges.
After escorting Danielle back to her room, Nora made her way back to the second-floor bedroom, intending to question Teagan about why he invited Cheyenne.
As she approached the door, she overheard a sparse conversation from inside - familiar voices. One of them was undoubtedly Teagan's. "I invited Kelvin as per your request, but I didn't anticipate that she'd bring Cheyenne along. What should we do now?"
The response came from another cold voice, and Nora's blood boiled as she listened attentively. "The main purpose of this gathering is to verify whether Kelvin is that guy I injured. As for Cheyenne, her presence is welcome. We'll take them out in one fell swoop! Then it'll be Abbie's turn to make her entrance..."
Hearing the two inside discussing killing both Kelvin and Cheyenne, Nora couldn't help but feel a glimmer of excitement. If Cheyenne really died, it would be a wonderful thing for her!
She listened intently, unaware that someone had come up behind her.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Suddenly, a cold questioning voice came from behind, startling her into letting out a scream.
Her scream caught the attention of those inside, and in the next moment, the door swung open. A tall figure draped in black slowly approached, enveloping Nora's frame.
Feeling an inexplicable chill spreading from her feet to her body, Nora gulped when she met Teagan's slender and profound eyes. "Tea... Teagan."
Teagan's hand naturally rested on her shoulder, the cool touch from his fingertips traveling through her skin, reaching her marrow as if heralding the imminent arrival of winter.
His other hand gently caressed Nora...
"I know you're the most well-behaved girl. Tell me, what did you hear just now?" he asked.
"I... I heard... I heard that you wanted to kill Cheyenne... Ah! Teagan, spare me. I won't spread this. I also despise her, you know," Nora stammered, her hair standing on end and her words incoherent.
Thump, thump, thump...
Another person in the room made their way over.
The sound of footsteps grazing against the floor was faint but steady. The newcomer was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, with an unparalleled handsome face.
"I remember you're Cheyenne's sister, right?" He gently wrapped his arm around Nora's shoulder, his voice tempting as he whispered in her ear, "Would you like to witness Cheyenne's tragic fate?"
"Now, I'll give you a chance to take revenge. How about it?"
"If Cheyenne dies, her luxurious mansion will be yours."
