Chapter 232 Paranoid For Nothing
However, she chose a spot on the edge where she could avoid falling entirely against the cake. Instead,
only the edge of her dress came in contact with the cake.
“Arielle! Are you okay?” Yvette was concerned as she grabbed her hand.
The crowd quickly gathered around them. “Dr. Moore, are you alright?”
“Dr. Moore, you’ve stained your dress. Let me help you with it!”
Yvette felt disgusted when she saw the crowd trying their best to please Arielle.
She quickly feigned a look of remorse and said, “This is all my fault. I’m wearing new shoes today, and
they don’t seem to fit me very well. I’m so sorry, Arielle. Let me lead you upstairs and get changed.”
Yvette’s expression was so sincere that it almost seemed real.
Although some of the guests blamed her for her clumsiness, no one suspected that she had done it on
purpose.

Arielle flashed her a sincere smile, showing her pearly whites, and answered, “Sure.”
Chills went down Yvette’s spine when she looked at Arielle’s smile. Did she notice anything?
That’s impossible! I actually fell, and my ankles are hurting!
I must be overthinking.
Yvette shrugged away her thoughts and carefully led Arielle upstairs with the same guilty expression on
her face.
No one would suspect anything from a minor accident. Besides, she didn’t directly crash into the cake.
Instead, only her dress and hair came in contact with the cake.
With that, Arielle followed Yvette to a guest room on the second floor.
She opened the door and said, “This is the guest room, and there’s a bathroom inside. Go ahead and
wash your hair while I get you something clean to put on.”
“Alright.” Arielle nodded.

Yvette then left the room with a cold smile on her face. However, she pressed the aroma diffuser on her
purse the moment she closed the door.
However, Yvette didn’t place the aroma diffuser earlier as she was worried she might inhale the drug and
that it’d be used up by the time Arielle had arrived.
She planned to wait until the moment Arielle entered the bathroom, then enter the room once again with
some fresh clothes. Only then would she take the chance to light the aroma diffuser.
Yvette carefully placed her ear by the door as she waited for the sound of water rushing through the tap.
She had deliberately chosen this room as it had poor soundproofing. Hence, she could hear everything
happening inside.
Moments later, she smiled as she heard the sound of running water.
I bet she’s washing her hair now!
Once she had the confirmation she needed, she quickly went away to get some clothes.

In a blink of an eye, she opened the door to the guest room with some clothes in hand.
Yvette’s heart almost stopped the moment she opened the door. She was so surprised to see Arielle
standing in the room that the former almost dropped the clothes in her hands. There Arielle was, looking
at her with smiles in her eyes, half-naked.
Why’s she waiting for me here? Did she figure things out?
Yet, she could still hear the sound of water.
Yvette instinctively looked over to the bathroom and found the door wide open. The showerhead in the
bathroom was still running.
Thinking that she was busted, Yvette’s heart was pounding rapidly when Arielle asked, “What’s wrong,
Yvette? Did I scare you?”
“I…” Yvette trailed off. She was unsure of what to say.
She forced a smile and asked, “W-why are you standing here? Aren’t you supposed to be washing your
hair? Why’re you standing by the door with the water running ?”
In reality, the only question that she wanted to ask Arielle was if the latter had found out about her plan.
