Kelly was awfully pleased.
But on the surface, she maintained a facade of humility. “Oh, you flatter me,” she exclaimed. “I’m just here to show my support.”
“Mdm. Green, you delightful creature.” The ladies were still praising her.
Sasha toyed with the idea of spilling the champagne on her tray onto Kelly. And while she changed out of her soiled dress, Sasha would steal her phone.
Before she could carry out her plan, the butler emerged from the villa.
“Madam, Mr. Frederick says it’s almost time. I’m here to escort you to see the young lady.”
“Very well, I will go now.” Mrs. Sanders went promptly.
Without her, the ladies who remained were scarcely worth Kelly’s time. After excusing herself, she headed towards the second floor and disappeared behind a door. Sasha tailed her cautiously.
“How did it go? Did she agree to lend you the money?”
Sasha froze in surprise. It was the voice of Xandra. She is here too!
“No, not yet,” Kelly replied. “There are many guests today; it’s not a good time. Perhaps later tonight.”
She sounded impatient. Sasha heard the clink of glass as she poured herself tea.
Xandra noticed her aunt’s temper. “Would she refuse to?” she asked nervously. “I’m telling you, I’ve posted the rumor online hours ago. If Sebastian finds out, he will not forgive us.”
Her voice was shrill with panic.
Outside, Sasha’s mind went blank with shock as she heard Xandra’s confession.
It’s really them!
But why? How did they know about this? Who told them?
That book, what did they have to do with it?
Sasha’s brain swam with one question after another. She was furious, not daring to believe that her theory actually became a reality. Her heart sank again with the familiar sense of dread.
What do these two b*tches want?
If they hired the psychologist to hypnotize me, it means that they really wanted me dead.
What about now?
What are they planning to do now?
