A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Chapter 215

Just then, Russell’s eyes widened in shock. He looked terrified while pointing at the entrance. “T-That…” The guests were confused at the drastic change in his expression. Subconsciously, they looked in the direction where he was pointing and saw Shandie standing at the door, looking baffled.

Since Shandie had wasted much time dealing with the bodyguards earlier, she hastily rushed into the house, afraid that she might be late. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Russell standing on the platform, pointing at her. The man’s face was a look of anger and terror. As others turned around, their expressions stiffened as if they had seen something out of this world. A first, Shandie had no idea what was going on until the ear-piercing sound of Russell’s mic dropping grated her ears.

That was when she suddenly recalled that black color was taboo for Russell. She, unfortunately, had dressed in black from head to toe! At that instant, her face was drained of all colors, and her mind went blank. Why is Uncle Russell back? Meanwhile, the guests were all staring at her and gossiping about her. “Mr. Actonward is here today, so how could she dress in black? Is she here to ruin the party?” “Whose daughter is she?

How wicked! Didn’t she know that black color is taboo for the Guzzurns? Black outfits are only allowed at a funeral.” “She’s not here to ruin the party but to put a killing curse on Mr. Actonward!” Since Shandie had always hung out with Yvette, some of the socialites had recognized her. “Isn’t she Shandie? Has she gone crazy? How could she wear a black gown to the party!” “Isn’t she close to Yvette? Why did she show up in a black dress?

From the look of it now, it seems like they are frenemies. What an eye-opener!” “Oh dear, Shandie must have gone insane! I heard she made a mistake and was sent to the monastery by her father. It looks like the life in the monastery has driven her crazy.” Shandie froze on the spot as those murmurs crept into her ears. Poor Shandie never thought the grand appearance that she imagined would turn out that way.

Everyone was tearing her down with the most spiteful remarks. She was at a loss, not knowing how to respond. For a long time, Russell remained silent on the platform. He fixed his eyes on Shandie, irritated at the sight of the latter’s black gown. The man got emotional when he recalled the issues faced by his company recently and his daughter’s canceled engagement. As his brain was deprived of oxygen, he passed out and collapsed onto the ground. “Dad!”

Yvette called out and immediately rushed to her father’s side. The guests all rushed to his aid. One of them helped pinched Russel’s philtrum while another helped call the ambulance. The hall was in instant chaos. Everyone was in a state of panic; all except for Yvette. The young lady had feigned a worried expression. In fact, she couldn’t help it when her heart leaped with joy.

Ha! Dad was so angry that he passed out! I thought he would only scold Arielle and kick her out at most. Things have turned out way better than I expected! It turned out that Yvette had purposefully avoided looking in “Arielle’s” direction just now, afraid that she might burst out laughing after seeing “Arielle’s” stupefied state. Hence, she still thought it was Arielle who showed up in that black gown. Yet when they failed to resuscitate Russell, only did she start to worry about him.
