With everyone watching in admiration and anticipation, Kelly raised her voice slightly as she spoke.


    "In appreciation of everyone attending, I want to introduce a game with a reward. We''ll use this mask as a symbol for a game simr to musical chairs. Whoever is holding the mask when the music stops will be the lucky star of the evening. In my name, I''ll gift them a property worth millions."


    A property worth millions of dors!


    Harriette made such an extravagant gesture just for ying a game.


    At that moment, everyone present was in a frenzy.


    "Okay! I want to be tonight''s lucky star."


    "I''m not sure who it will be, but I really liked the fox mask on Ms. Harriette''s face. That mask is definitely mine."


    "It''s mine! It''s mine!"


    Even before the game started, everyone was already scrambling andpeting with each other. There was no choice, as the prize was simply too tempting— everyone wanted it.


    Kelly observed the lively scene before her, and the smile on her lips grew wider. A property worth millions of dors? Of course, it didn''t exist.


    The person who received the mask might not even want to live tomorrow, so how could they possiblye to im a property worth millions?


    At that time, out of her "goodwill", she would provide her with a grave.


    That way, she could earn some goodwill again. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was worth it.


    Kelly was calcting the time she needed. She needed to stop that woman before she escaped, so she had to act quickly. "Let''s get started then. We don''t have drums, so... I''ll just use apuse instead."


    Kelly yfully winked. Her appearance resembled that of an innocent and carefree child.


    Anastasia knew she was going to stir up some trouble again.


    Anastasia watched the entire incident where the woman in the red dress "soiled" Kelly''s gown. That woman had clearly staged an ident on purpose.


    She wanted to go over to the woman in the red dress, but fortunately, the woman wasn''t as petty as she had expected and didn''t even bother apologizing.


    Was Kelly doing all that just to change her gown? But...


    Anastasia nced at the ck gown Harriette was wearing at the moment. The feeling was hard to describe it might have been better if she hadn''t changed at all. Her skin was fair, but the overall look didn''t quite suit her vibe.


    Wearing this ck gown kind of made her look like... a ck witch. She was even up for a round of "pass the mask". What was her objective this time?


    Anastasia couldn''t figure it out, but it was clear she didn''t have any good intentions.


    It was extremely quiet around the entire vi.


    Kelly slightly raised her hand, and even before she started pping, the people present held their breath, afraid of missing anything or being distracted from this priceless moment.


    As the initial apuse began, it sounded crisp and pleasant.


    The fox mask was quickly passed from one person to the next, and right after that...


    The ps were gentle and slow at times, then asionally rapid and intense. It felt like everyone''s emotions were swaying with the rhythm of the pping. Each person was fully engaged in the "game".


    Kelly pped her hands, feeling delighted as she watched the crowd''s enthusiasm. It was incredible how easily she could now influence so many people''s emotions.


    What good was Rose''s previous luck?


    Being noticed by Oliver and getting adopted as his granddaughter, casually marrying someone and even bumping into Jonathan, and also having such a father...


    But what did that really matter? In the end, it was Kelly who emerged as the ultimate winner. Rose, oh, Rose. Could she see this? Oh, if she did see it, wouldn''t she be insanely jealous?


    Kelly was feeling extremely pleased with herself. Even in her moment of pride, she kept an eye on the vi entrance, waiting until she saw someone stumble out in a hurried manner.


    Kelly briefly paused her ps.


    Afterward, it became more intense.


    No one noticed the slight pause in the apuse earlier, and as the pping became more intense, everyone''s excitement grew even higher.


    The crowd watched Kelly, but Kelly''s eyes were fixed on the figure fleeing in a disheveled state.


    She watched as the mask headed toward that figure. She got ready to time it perfectly and came to a sudden stop.


    The entire ce fell silent. Everyone knew that tonight''s game hade to an end.


    Who was the lucky one?


    For a moment, everyone''s eyes searched around before turning in a particr direction.


    The fox mask was seen falling to the ground, and the person who dropped "it" on the ground...


    Those present couldn''t help but frown.


    The person was wearing a ck cat mask and had wrapped themselves in a bedsheet.


    Everyone was stunned. How did she end up wrapped in a bedsheet? Everyone present came dressed to impress, didn''t they?


    "How do we count this? The mask is on the ground..." someone suddenly asked, their voice carrying a mix of disappointment and a hint of anticipation.


    The disappointment set in as the game ended, and the lucky winner turned out not to be any of them. They hoped that by having the mask on the ground, there might be a new round.


    "That''s right! How do we deal with this situation?" There were more than a few people with the same anticipation.


    Everyone looked toward Harriette, as she was clearly the one who had the power to make all the decisions. Were they going to start the game all over again?


    Of course, Kelly wasn''t going to restart the game!


    She had already caught the target. If she started over, the target would escape. Then what would be the point of that?


    So, under everyone''s gaze, she slowly walked toward the "lucky star". With each step, Kelly felt an intense excitement surge within her.


    She was about to snatch the "lucky star''s" mask, making herpletely embarrassed in front of everyone. Just the thought of it made her feel really happy and relieved.


    "Be more careful in the future." Ha! Who did she think she was? She dared to give her advice!


    Finally, Kelly approached her.


    She crouched down to pick up the


    mask that had fallen on the ground and looked at the person in front of her with a smile. "When the apuse stopped just now, I saw the foxe mask in thisdy''s hand. She was obviously startled, which is why she dropped the mask on the ground."


    Kelly, with a gentle smile, ced the mask she picked up into the other person''s hand and reassured them softly, "Don''t be afraid. You''ve received this mask, so I have a gift to give you!"


    A gift... Everyone else was thinking about that multi-million prize, feeling both envious and resigned.


    They didn''t realize that the true meaning behind Harriette''s words, whom they praised, wasn''t about the property, but rather... a lesson!


    Rose kept her eyes lowered.


    Gradually, her eyes met with Kelly''s gaze.


    Rose was all too familiar with Kelly''s deceptive smile. On the surface, it appeared


    full of kindness and innocence, but in reality, it was the beginning of a betrayal.


    "Are you ready?" Kelly''s smile grew even bigger.


    Rose remained silent. Was she ready? It seemed like she didn''t really need to et


    ready for anything, right?


    The other person didn''t respond.


    Kelly didn''t think much of it,


    assuming that this "lucky individual was still in shock from the recent incident of being stripped of her clothes. It was fine. She didn''t need


    to respond to Kelly.


    She just needed to endure it. Hopefully, Kelly could handle her when the time


    came!


    Kelly nced at the bedsheet wrapped around her with a hint of a cold smile in


    her eyes, then looked at the ck cat mask, suddenly acting as if she was faced with a dilemma.


    "Miss, you got my fox mask, and now I don''t have a mask. Would you be willing to give me yours?" she asked.
