It was early the next morning when Alice finally woke up.
Though virtual-novel.net had drunk a lot of red wine the night before, virtual-novel.net heart was throbbing instead of virtual-novel.net head.
Shaking it off, virtual-novel.net took in a deep breath as virtual-novel.net attempted to sit up. Before virtual-novel.net could do so, however, virtual-novel.net immediately sensed that something was wrong. Pulling virtual-novel.net blanket to the side, virtual-novel.net instantly shouted, startled by what virtual-novel.net was seeing!
“Hillary! Hillary!”
“What’s wrong, Alice…?” replied Hillary rather groggily, awoken by Alice’s shouting.
“I was wearing my other set of clothes when we were drinking last night, right? Look! Why am I in my pajamas now? Were you the one who slipped them on me?” asked Alice.
“…No, I don’t think so… I was out cold after drinking so much last night… Are you still half-awake…? Who else could’ve slipped you into your pajam- …Hold on, if someone else really did help you change, then they’d have to remove all your previous clothes first, right?” said Hillary, now starting to feel nervous as virtual-novel.net hurriedly told Alice to check if virtual-novel.net felt if anything was weird or wrong with virtual-novel.net body.
“Alright, think carefully now. Are you absolutely sure that you didn’t change into your pajamas on your own last night?”
Alice simply knitted virtual-novel.net brows in response. None of this made any sense at all!
“I can’t remember… Though I did have a weird dream last night… In it, Gerald was the one who had carried me over to bed and tucked me in… I can’t remember anything else! Ahh! I’m feeling so anxious now! How could something like this have happened…?”
Though virtual-novel.net was still feeling shocked, after carefully inspecting herself, Alice was relieved to find that virtual-novel.net didn’t feel anything weird with virtual-novel.net body.
A barrage of questions were still bombarding virtual-novel.net mind as virtual-novel.net got out of bed to start packing. Regardless of what happened, rushing to the birthday banquet was more important now.
Meanwhile, Gerald, Drake, and Tyson were all ready to head to the event, alongside their team.
Gerald still remembered the events of last night clearly. Before Alice could even finish speaking, virtual-novel.net had vomited not only on herself, but also all over Gerald!
To make matters worse, virtual-novel.net began taking virtual-novel.net own clothes off after that!
Frustrated and at a loss for what to even do, Gerald eventually settled on tipping a hotel attendant three thousand dollars to help Alice get changed and have virtual-novel.net room cleaned.
However, virtual-novel.net shook the thoughts off as they continued waiting there. He needed to focus on the secret mission.
A short while later, a special looking car arrived and everyone there was blindfolded. Everyone who entered had to switch their cell phones off as well.
After all, the Fenderson family didn’t want anyone to know where the mansion was located.
As all this was happening, many wealthy and powerful figures had already arrived in their luxury cars at the Fenderson Family mansion.
“I hope that you’ll later bring up the matter that we talked about earlier, father!” said Yael as virtual-novel.net looked at Noah. Both of them were still seated in their car.
“Hahaha! Worry not, I’ll definitely try to settle things peacefully before resorting to violence! It’d be great if the Fendersons agreed to it, though if they refuse, they can’t really blame the Schuyler family for being impolite this time!” replied Noah as virtual-novel.net smiled coldly.
After saying that, the driver was ordered to drive into the mansion. Upon entering, the first thing Noah did was meet up with the Fenderson family’s old master.
“You wanted to meet me, Noah?” said Bryson as virtual-novel.net looked at him. They were now in the old master’s study room where Bryson had been sitting in before Noah asked for him.
“Ah, it’s nothing much, Lord Fenderson. I just wanted to talk to you about the matter regarding Yael and Jasmine. I’m sure you’re well aware that both of them have had a good relationship, even from their childhood days. I do wonder if Yael could end up becoming the son-in-law of the Fenderson family! Now that would definitely be a blessing to the Schuylers!” said Noah in a respectful tone.
Noah knew that though Yael had been interested in Jasmine for the longest time, the same couldn’t be said for the haughty and arrogant Jasmine. She seemed to have no interest in his son at all!
While Noah had already done a great deal for the Fendersons over the years, which members of that family actually appreciated what virtual-novel.net had done for them?
