Last night, four people tried to ambush Vespera in the forest. However, Evelyn dealt with them.


    It was only yesterday that Vespera had found out that Evelyn used to be a special forcesmander. Because her family was against it, she eventually resigned. Now, she ran her ownpany.


    Evelyn had taken down the woman first. She dragged thetter off to the mushroom tower to hide her. As for the remaining three, she took care of them with ease. Some were in in sight, and others quietly in the background.


    The two women, who were with Drake and in matching gowns with Vespera, had imed that the whole point of dressing simr to Vespera was to swap ces with her in the forest. The goal was to make her disappear.


    Unfortunately, their n failed instantly. Vespera had been cold and had thrown on a jacket. The three had thought that they were great actors. Honestly, Vespera had to bite back the urge to rmend they enroll in a theater ss.


    Who would trust people they had known for only a few hours? They didn''t trust anyone else, but they put all their faith in Dominic? Did they think he was slow- witted?


    At the dining table, everyone didn''t have any appetite to eat. Calvert was the only one wolfing down his food. He had slept in untilte morning and woken up famished.


    Last night, Dominic had given Calvert a few tasks, including dismantling stuff, stealing a few items, cutting the power at just the right moment, stringing the security guards in the surveince room in a tree, and running interference so no one made it back to the castle too soon. Honestly, his arms were still sore.


    "Calvert, you should eat more," said Vespera, giving Calvert a sympathetic pat on the head. She added, "If you weren''t around, who else would Mr. Reid overwork to the bone? I mean, he practically had you seconds away from hijacking a rocket ship."


    Upon hearing that, Calvert grumbled in a low voice. Meanwhile, Evelyn overheard their conversation andughed so hard she was wiping tears from her eyes. She turned to Vance and said, "Vance, they''re so cute. Let''s have two babies just like them."


    Evelyn said it the way someone might ask for a pair of toys.


    Vance took a deep breath and replied, "Darling, maybe we should get you into therapy."


    It was the first time Vance protested, but all he got in return was a smack on the thigh by Evelyn.


    "Dom, this woman is violent. Living with her is impossible," muttered Vance, rubbing his thigh.


    Dominic responded indifferently, "She even wants to have kids with you. Count your blessings."


    There was the faintest trace of envy in Dominic''s voice. Vespera pretended she didn''t hear it. What was he envious of?


    Evelyn and Vance were engaged. They were a perfect match, except for their sexual preference As Vespera and Dominic they nothing inmon except their sexual preference.  s


    ?????


    After breakfast, everyone moved to the garden behind the castle for theworking event. Light snacks, drinks, and fruit wereid out. Tables chairs and couches dotted, the fawn, creating a rxed and casual setup. Basically, it was free time disguised as a formal event.  s


    The castle and forest that looked eerie at night no longer seemed scary under the sunlight. In fact, everything looked serene and almost dreamlike.


    The main event endedst night. Today was just for show and to wrap things up.<fn09b3> Official source is Find_Novel(.</fn09b3>


    The guests were all counting the minutes until they could leave. They stuck


    around until noon, when the suspension bridge was finally lowered.


    After lunch, Belinda bade farewell to the guests. Soon after, the guests, escorted by the butler, filed out of the castle. They retraced their steps Fand returned to the wooden vis to change back into their original clothes. Then, they were flown out by helicopter.  s


    Vespera thought everything was finally winding down as everything was clear. Dominic''s big debut had gone off without a hitch.


    However, Calvert said casually in the carriage, "Mrs. Morgan didn''t act as Belinda


    on the first day. Mr. Reid, where do you think that one is hiding?"


    Upon hearing that, Vespera froze. What did Calvert just say?


    Dominic opened his eyes and shot Calvert a look. He said, "You just had to open your mouth, didn''t you?"
