Chapter 237: Finding Cedric
A banquet was bustling, the chandelier sparkled and everyone was having a good time. Murmurs were going on about the duel earlier today with the first topic on everyone’s lips being the spectacle Alfonso caused.
Abrielle felt like shrinking knowing she was the topic on everyone’s lips. She was getting too much attention a villainess should not be having.
She actually wanted to skip out on this event with the excuse she was feeling under the weather, but that would make her look more guilty.
"Elle," she heard someone call her name in a rather angry tone, she closed her eyes to take a long breath before turning to face Rebecca’s angry face. Her mother was mad.
"Mother, how have you been?" She nervously said. She had been avoiding her parents all day. She had deliberately left in another carriage to avoid seeing them. Rebecca was resilient.
"I am still alive, fortunately, but I don’t think I would for long, thanks to you." Rebecca dramatically said in a hushed tone which didn’t hide how angry she was
"How can you say such a Thing? I would never do something that can harm you. Where is the Father? I am sure he would be worried?" She replied, her eyes darting around the room while she acted oblivious to what Rebecca was trying to say.
Rebecca understood Abrielle’s games; she grabbed her daughter’s hand and pulled her to a more discrete area for them to talk. "Your father is being held up with official matters," Rebecca grumbled.
They got to an empty hallway, the music faded in the background. Abrielle knew there was no way for her to escape. Rebecca stopped and then turned towards her daughter. She was trying to read through her eyes, but lately, it felt like her daughter had changed.
