Chapter 197
Bonnie got a bit flustered when she saw Aliyah turning around and going away.
She got to attend this birthday party!
“Ms. Stewart!” Bonnie caught up with her and got the box back and clutched at it tightly, “I have to protect this necklace before Bella wears it! I can’t make somebody else do my work.”
Hearing her words, Aliyah squinted her eyes and scanned Bonnie up and down, and sneered, “So you are afraid that I might switch out the necklace?”
Bonnie shook her head, “I didn’t mean it.”
“You want to attend the party then?” Aliyah saw right through Bonnie and added, “Miss Annie, don’t you forget what you said in the hotel before!”
Bonnie didn’t know how to respond.
Well, she should have withheld it if she knew that Aliyah was so vindictive!
While they were in a stalemate, Madeleine walked by.
“Ms. Stewart, why would you make things difficult for a girl?” Madeleine beamed and stepped towards them, “Bella did something bad before and felt bad, so she invited her to her birthday.”
Aliyah frowned, “Bella invited her?”
“Yeah, we all know that Bella is warm-hearted and she sees everybody as her friend.” Madeleine nodded.
Aliyah let out a humph and then walked away.
“Miss Annie. Let me show you the guest lounge. My daughter should be here in a minute.” Madeleine suggested kindly.
Bonnie slightly tightened her lower chin and said, “Sure, thank you.”
Bonnie finally went into the Grant’s residence being led by Madeleine.
But she soon discovered something was wrong.
She knew which restroom Madeleine was referring to and it was at the side entrance and they should be there walking right through the garden.
But Madeleine took a detour on purpose and made an appearance at the banquet in the backyard and then took her to the lounge.
Bonnie wasn’t stupid and knew something was fishy.
But she remained undisturbed and still wore a light smile. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Sitting on the Mahogany round-backed armchair in the lounge, Bonnie acted sweet and elegant with her hands resting on her knees.
“Wait a minute, Miss Annie. Bella will be here in a second.”
Madeleine then turned around and left the room.
A maid then walked in and handed Bonnie a glass of juice, “Here is your drink, Miss Annie.”
Bonnie pretended to take a sip and just spit it all out on her handkerchief.
The maid thought that she really had it and gloated inside and left.
Well, the first step of the plan was accomplished!
At the same time, Sebastian just finished a three-hour international video conference in the study on the second floor.
After ending the call, Sebastian was still frowning.
He pinched at his eyebrows and was irritated.
The conference didn’t go well.
The client he was hoping to cooperate with insisted on working with the designer Magnolia.
Well, designer Magnolia was in Willisto right now, but Sebastian just can’t locate her!
He was afraid that this case might be poached away by his powerful rival company.
His phone then started ringing and it was Annie’s call.
Sebastian was surprised as this woman never called him ever since that accident.
What did she want?
Sebastian thought for a while and then took the call and asked lightly, “What happened?”
The caller’s tone was a bit weird, but Sebastian could vaguely recognize that it was Bonnie’s voice, “Sebastian… Hel... Help me!”
