Chapter 47 Fell into the Water

Chapter 47 Fell into the Water

"Louis, why aren't you standing up for me? You saw it with your own eyes. Blanche intentionally threw the cake onto my face. She's so vicious!"

Cathy rushed towards Louis and accidentally smeared some cream on his expensive sleeve. He stepped back in disgust.

Cathy was stunned and bit her lip tightly. Louis showed his disgust toward her.

But when she turned her head, she saw Blanche standing on the side, looking at her and Louis with a sideways glance.

It was so unreasonable. Blanche bullied her but acted like a fearless peacock.

Louis gave Blanche a cold glance, obviously displeased with her behavior.

Blanche was so impatient. She said she would retaliate and did it immediately.

What shocked Cathy was that although Louis's eyes were cold, she felt that the moment he and Blanche locked eyes, their auras were so compatible.

Cathy felt that she must be deceived by her eyes.

"B*tch, your eyes are so seductive. Is this how you seduce men? You're so loose."

Cathy suddenly couldn't take it anymore, going crazy and rushing towards Blanche.

"Take Miss Bird to the room and let her out after she changes her clothes."

However, Louis's cold and chilling voice sounded from behind.

Cathy forcibly stopped, turned around, and looked aggrieved.

"Louis."

Louis took a white handkerchief and wiped off the dirt from his sleeve with disgust. Then he turned to leave with a gloomy face.

This was a banquet, not a playground for these two women to make a scene.

Cathy was speechless, her chest full of anger. She left the lively banquet hall with heavy footsteps.

Blanche glanced at their backs and was surprised for a moment. She scratched her cheek, feeling a bit itchy.

To prevent her mask from falling off at the banquet, Blanche had spent a lot of money to hire a makeup artist to draw an ugly scar on her face.

After finishing the makeup, the makeup artist patted his chest and confidently told Blanche that the scar he drew was absolutely waterproof and would not harm the skin. It would require his exclusively developed solution to remove it.

However, Blanche felt that something was wrong. It had only been a short while, but she already felt a bit itchy on the scar.

Blanche walked towards the bathroom.

When she arrived, there was no one inside. Blanche took off her mask and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was not red, but the scar was slightly itchy.

She scratched it for a while. Instead of leaving immediately, she held her arms and pondered.

She didn't expect that Henry would be so difficult to approach. She felt like she had suffered a serious setback. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Blanche held her arms and stayed in the bathroom for a while.

Cathy, who had been carefully dressed up again, passed by the bathroom door and saw Blanche standing inside. She stopped abruptly, her eyes widening.

At this moment, she saw Blanche's ugly scarred face in the mirror.

She thought, 'Ha, you ugly monster, I didn't expect you to be so ugly!'

'Look at your ugly appearance, yet you dare to go against me. Today, I will tear off your mask and reveal your true face, shocking everyone.'

Blanche noticed the reflection in the mirror and turned her head. Cathy gave Blanche a venomous and disdainful glance and then left.

Blanche frowned. When did Cathy come here? She picked up her mask and put it back on.

When Blanche returned to the banquet hall, she realized that the dinner had moved outside to the spacious garden.

The big garden was lit up with colorful lights and elegant music filled the air. Guests walked around the oval goldfish pond, sipping their wine and chatting happily.

After Blanche went out, she quietly stood in one spot, observing Henry in the crowd.

When she had first come out, she felt a chilling gaze on her and found that Henry was staring at her from across the pond.

Blanche was puzzled. What did he mean by giving her such a terrifying look? Was it because she had asked him to operate on her grandmother that he had become hostile toward her?

As if sensing something, Henry signaled to one of his bodyguards in the distance. The bodyguard walked to him.

Soon, the bodyguard quickly made his way toward Blanche.

"Miss Kent, Mr. Herbart wants me to tell you that you have caused trouble for him. Please stay away from him."

Blanche was dumbfounded. She wasn't even close to Henry, and he was on the other side of the big goldfish pond.

"What kind of trouble have I caused him?"

"You can stare at him all you want, despite being married, but he has a fiancee. Your staring will upset Miss Yonng. Do you understand?"

Blanche felt speechless.

"Well, then tell him that I want to schedule a meeting with him. I have something to discuss with him."

"Mr. Herbart won't meet you. Give up on that idea."

After the bodyguard finished speaking, he immediately turned and left, just as arrogant as his employer.

Blanche wrinkled her nose. Henry was a strange person. As his sister-in-law, she was unable to speak to him. She was even warned of harassment when she looked at him.

"Blanche, look at you. Since the beginning of the banquet, you've been wandering around alone. No one wants to talk to you. You're like a plague spirit."

Cathy teased her from behind.

Since Blanche came out, Cathy's gaze had been fixed on her as well.

Thinking of the ugly scar on Blanche's face that she saw at the bathroom door, Cathy wanted to tear off the mask on Blanche's face immediately.

She was one hundred percent sure that if she tore off Blanche's mask, it would be like throwing a bomb into a calm lake.

Blanche turned around, not angry at all, and even smiled lightly.

"I'm not wearing the Secret of Ocean on my hand, so there's nothing to see if anyone comes over."

That was clearly mocking Cathy for wearing fake diamonds, and Cathy went berserk.

"Good, you asked for it. Today, I'll let everyone see your ugly face."

Instantly, Cathy scratched Blanche's face quickly and pushed her into the pool. Blanche was caught off guard and fell into the water.

There was a thud.

"Oh no! Someone fell into the pool," Cathy immediately called out in a panic to avoid suspicion.

Someone shouted, "Who fell?"

Louis was talking to others. Hearing this, he frowned and looked in the direction of the pool.

"Who fell?"

Sam said, "It seems to be Mrs. Herbart."

Was it Blanche who fell into the water? Louis hurried to the place where Blanche fell.

"Louis, Blanche fell into the pool. You don't know what she said arrogantly when she fell."

Cathy blocked Louis and spoke loudly.

Louis's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"What did she say?"

"You don't know that she just came to my dressing room and provoked me, warning me not to step into the Herbart family. She said that all the Herbart family's assets would be hers. She cursed me for shamelessly sticking to Mrs. Herbart just to compete for the assets. She told me to get lost, or she would kill me. She also said..."

Half through her words, Cathy deliberately stammered with a red face.

"What else did she say?" Louis was angry.

"She said she had completely captured your heart. I didn't believe her, so she immediately jumped into the pool, saying that you would be the first to jump in and save her. You don't know that she didn't fall into the pool. She jumped in herself."

Thinking of the foot he subconsciously stepped forward, Louis suddenly clenched his big palm into a fist.

"You swear every word you say is true!"

Cathy immediately nodded her head repeatedly and raised her hand, swearing loudly.

"Okay, I swear that if I lie, I will die a terrible death."

Louis's gloomy face darkened more and more, and he stomped on the edge of the shore.

The crowd whispered.

"Is Miss Bird telling the truth? Blanche is too terrible. She even wants to take over the Herbart family's assets."

"Of course. You've all heard of how scheming Blanche is. She was able to marry into the Herbart family by pretending to be Nicole. She's very vicious."

Just now, everyone heard what Cathy said. The security guards who were ready to go and rescue Blanche remained standing on the shore. If Louis didn't give an order, they definitely wouldn't dare to go and save a vicious woman.

"Why hasn't she surfaced yet? Doesn't she know how to swim?"

"Yeah, this pool is pretty deep. If she can't swim, she might drown."

Various voices sounded.

Blanche remained motionless under the water. Louis pursed his lips into a straight line. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand to remove his watch from his wrist.

Blanche was scheming enough! She didn't surface just because he didn't jump into the water to save her.

Cathy noticed Louis's movement to jump into the water. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately grabbed him.

"Louis, the water is cold. You can't go in, and you definitely can't let Blanche's cunning plan succeed."

Louis waited another minute with patience, but Blanche hadn't surfaced.

He closed his eyes and estimated the time. If he didn't jump into the water now, Blanche would definitely drown. Suddenly, he shook off Cathy's grip, leaped into the pool, and swam to the bottom.

Underwater, Blanche struggled violently with a clump of seaweed while holding her breath.

She felt anxious and helpless. Her feet were tightly entangled in the seaweed, and she couldn't break free.

She feared that she would drown in the water. She was anxious and disappointed. Many people were at the party, yet no one went to save her kindly.

Normally, even if a waiter fell into the pool, a security guard would immediately jump in to save him.

But she kept telling herself that she couldn't die. She still had to take care of her grandmother.
