Chapter 111: _I Know Your Secret
The person walking into the dining room turned out to be Celine who had a smug expression on her face as she went up to her mother and wrapped her arms around her neck in a hug.
"Good morning, mother. So sorry I didn’t check on you earlier today. I’ve been busy with some errands." Celine muttered with a cheery smile before she made herself comfortable by sitting beside her mother.
I watched the scene with a raised eyebrow, wondering why Celine seemed so... Relaxed.
Meanwhile, her mother patted her daughter’s chin before speaking with a proud smile. "Oh, my dear daughter. I’m so glad I’m seeing your face now. It’s a boost to my mood after getting it ruined by some... Low lives."
She glanced at me with disdain before she made a gagging expression.
I was tempted to drug her food with a potion that would make her gag out everything in her stomach, as well as her intestines, for good measure, but I held myself back and placed my attention on my food instead.
However, as I used my fork to play around with the mini shawarmas in front of me, Celine said something that took me off guard.
"I hope you’re enjoying your meal, Odessa."
I froze, a cold shiver running down my spine as I raised my head and stared directly at her.
Celine had a seemingly innocent smile on her face, taking a sip from a glass of wine first before she continued. "What? I’m genuinely curious since I helped the maids with the cooking today."
Each word she said seemed to add more to the fear that gripped me as I plastered a smile on my face, my face dripping with cold sweat.
