Chapter 27 Auntie’s Trap

Ellis tugged at the door with all her strength, but it just wouldn’t budge. She bit her lip in frustration.

Did Auntie really care about me? She prepared a feast for me, only to lock me up afterward. Wasn’t attending the party enough? Il hat more did she want from me?

After making sure Ellis was secured where she needed to be, Emma returned to the grand hall, where the party continued.

In Ellis absence, Victoria acted as if she were the only lady of the house here. She greeted guests with an air of self–importance; her pretentious behavior was almost nauseating to watch.

Emma picked up a glass of wine, and with an air of grace, she walked behind Easton and Victoria. Then, as if by accident, she pretended to slip her hand, and the wine splashed across Victoria’s white mermaid gown. staining it with a deep violet blotch. Victoria nearly screamed; her perfect gown was now ruined.

When Emma turned around, she found Victoria glaring at her. Meeting Victoria’s hostile gaze, Emma remained poised and calmly instructed the butler, “Miss Victoria’s dress is dirty, take her to my dressing room and help her find a new gown to change into.”

Even if Victoria was blind, she could tell that Emma’s actions were intentional.

As the butler moved to take her away, Victoria quickly clutched onto Easton’s arms and pouted. “Easton, did I do something wrong? Emma doesn’t seem to like me very much today.”

“Do you even have to ask?” Emma wasn’t buying into her innocent facade. “Miss Victoria, it’s important to have self–awareness, and even more important to have respect for oneself.”

After delivering her veiled comment, Emma stared at Victoria’s hands on Easton.

Catching the underlying message in Emma’s words, Victoria’s expression shifted. Her lips returned to their original shape as she said earnestly, “Aunt Emma, is there some misunderstanding? Please just tell me and I’ll explain and apologize.”

From the moment Ellis arrived at the party. Emma had clearly displayed hostility toward Victoria. To Easton who was observing, he found his aunt’s hostility to be quite baffling.

Not wanting to waste any time, Emma signaled the butler to quickly take Victoria away, whether she was willing or not. As Victoria was reluctantly led out, she glanced at the hand that Easton had just pulled out of her grasp and shot a few glares in Emma’s direction.

With Victoria gone, Emma picked up two fresh glasses of wine–from a servant. She handed one to Easton, keeping the other for herself and sighed, “We’re so lucky to have you in the Hudson family. Because of you, we were able to keep moving forward.”

When her nephew first became her son–in–law, one thing Emma was particularly pleased with was Easton w

Easton had a lot to drink and wasn’t in the mood for more wine. But as Emma was sipping on her glass, he unconsciously mirrored her actions, downing half the glass before even realizing it and eventually finishing

But what he really meant was for her to stop with the flattery and nonsense.

Emma understood the situation and stayed silent. She glanced in her father’s direction and headed towards him.

In the brief seconds it took her to turn around, her eyes sparkled with the joy of success.

Locked in the room, Ellis couldn’t figure out what Emma was up to, no matter how much she wrapped her head around it.

She couldn’t leave the room with the usual way out, and she didn’t dare to jump down.

There was no way I’d risk jumping out of an eighth–floor window; I’d die if I tried that

She decided to just give up and lie on the couch, maybe Emma would come to her senses and let her out.

Not long after, an uncomfortable wave of heat washed over her, slightly irritating her. It was like the air conditioning was malfunctioning, it was barely cooling the room at all.

To make matters worse, her tight dress added to her discomfort. The longer she wore it, the more suffocated she felt. Fortunately, some of her personal belongings were still in the room, so she removed her makeup and headed to the bathroom for a cold shower.
