In the underground parking lot of Century Hotel, Caridee and Rhonda got out of a Rolls-Royce limousine.
Donning the gown Bailey had designed for her coming-of-age ceremony, Caridee shined brightly on this day.
The pink gown further amplified her elegance and beauty, yet at the same time, she looked like a pure, innocent white lily.
The gown she wore was destined to be the center of attraction tonight.
Through this gown she designed, Bailey, too, would very likely become The Ultimate Designer and triumph over her competitors.
“Caridee, I'm afraid I have to leave you on your own for now. My friend is on her way here. She asked me to wait for her in the parking lot.”
Caridee was not bothered at all. Upon hearing her words, she didn't bother asking about this friend of hers. Instead, she waved dismissively and said, “All right. You do your things. I'll head over to the banquet hall first.”
As Caridee got into the elevator, Rhonda whipped out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on before sneaking into a corridor.
“Are you there?” she shouted toward the door upon reaching the entrance.
In the next second, a massive hand reached out from the dark and dragged her inside.
“Shh.” Cadence gestured for her to be quiet and said in a low voice, “It's me. Keep quiet.”
Rhonda bobbed her head continuously in response. As soon as he removed his hand from her mouth, she quickly said, “The ceremony is starting soon. What should I do? It's not easy to kidnap those two b*stards of Bailey. They are here in Century Hotel today, but they are well protected. I would be busted in an instant if I moved against them.”
Cadence smiled coldly, his eyes filled with hostility. “Change of plans. Artemis is trying to lure me into his trap. I won't give him the chance!”
Hearing this, Rhonda started losing her temper. “Then why did you ask me to meet you here? If you don't have a plan, you should return to hiding properly.”
Cadence passed a bottle to Rhonda. “Forget about kidnapping them. I need you to poison them. Make sure you feed them this poison. Bailey will have to come looking for me for antidotes if you succeed, and I will force her into surrendering the evidence by then.”
He would never let the evidence of those crimes leak out.
Although half a month of imprisonment was nothing, it would tarnish the reputation he had worked hard to build over the years, leaving all his achievements in ruins. When that happened, there would be no more place for him in the medical world.
Rhonda narrowed her eyes at the bottle in her hand. She asked with a frown, “What will this poison do to the human body?”
Cadence let her go and answered, “That's none of your concern. What you should be concerned about is the task I gave you. Mess it up, and your naughty photos will be all over the media by tomorrow.”
“You...”
Rhonda's eyes burned with intense hatred as she tightened her grip on the bottle.
Bailey, Zoey, you guys put me in this situation I'm in today! I'll make both of you pay for what you have done to me!
Meanwhile, a commotion broke out in the hall upon Caridee's arrival.
Several international socialites gathered around her, their faces filled with envy.
“Caridee, you're lucky to have such a famous designer as your sister-in-law. Ms. Snowflake's masterpiece is not something anyone can easily get their hands on.”
“That's right! I told my father to help me get in touch with Ms. Snowflake back then. We told her we would pay her handsomely to design a gown for me, but she turned us down.”
“Same here.”
“Me too.”
