Chapter 289 Gwendolyn Pretends To Take The Bait

For some reason, Evelyn’s face emerged in Gwendolyn’s mind, for the latter seemed to know everything about Gwendolyn’s past in Fairlake.

Faced with Gwendolyn’s silence, Eloise gloated, “What’s it going to be, Gwendolyn? Are you panicking because you realize your harsh methods don’t work on me anymore?”

In spite of the taunt, Gwendolyn remained unfazed as a grin emerged on her face.

“I’ve always enjoyed a challenge. Since you don’t care about the consequences, I’ll just blow the matter up. I’m sure your parents and brother won’t be as nonchalant about it as you are.”

After glancing at her watch, Gwendolyn continued, “There are still eight minutes left. Let’s see how much your parents really love you when your birthday banquet ends up becoming the laughingstock of the city’s high society.”

“You… You really want to challenge me, don’t you!”

Eloise’s face contorted in fury beneath her makeup.

Both of them were subsequently locked in a stalemate, neither wanting to back down.

After all, Eloise couldn’t show weakness in front of the assistant and manager from Angle.

It wasn’t until Sherman’s voice rang out from the corridor that the impasse was interrupted.

“Eloise, Gwendolyn, what’s going on?”

Wearing an indifferent expression, Gwendolyn leaned elegantly against the door.

When Sherman shifted his gaze to Eloise, the latter kept mum.

In the end, it was the manager who came forward to explain the situation.

Upon learning of what happened, Sherman broke into a gentle smile while exuding a debonair aura.

“This is a trivial matter. There’s no need to kick up a fuss on Eloise’s birthday. I remember that she had extra costumes made and kept them in the storeroom.”

He subsequently instructed the housekeeper, “Go to the storeroom and get the group changed into their new outfits. Be quick about it.”

“Yes, Mr. Ferguson.”

Upset by the turn of events, Eloise folded her arms and rolled her eyes before turning to leave.

Nevertheless, the smile on Sherman’s face was just as warm. Being the gentleman that he was, he apologized to the girls in the room, “I’m sorry for the Ferguson family’s lack of hospitality. Let me make for it by apologizing over a toast later.”
