Chapter 1348

Ten minutes later.

Arabella spotted Mr. Clarence ambling solo towards the restroom.

Before his hand even grazed the restroom door, Arabella knocked him out cold and dragged him to the adjacent terrace, swiftly drawing the curtains closed.

The head of security had just seen Arabella heading in the direction of the restroom, and in the next moment, she had vanished from sight.

His instincts on high alert, he first searched the area, then had one of the maids knock on the restroom door.

The maid's hand hadn't even touched the door when a soft cough of a woman could be heard from inside.

It was so brief that the head of security couldn't be sure if it was Arabella or not. He could only stand aside and keep a stealthy watch.

Behind the curtain, Arabella transferred all the chat messages from Mr. Clarence’s phone to her own and set up remote monitoring. Then, she slipped the phone back into Mr. Clarence's pocket, leaped onto the roof, and flicked a pebble at him to wake him up.

Mr. Clarence grunted in pain, groggily coming to, immediately alerting the head of security.

The head of security pulled back the curtain to find Mr. Clarence sitting on the ground and hurried over to help him up.

"Mr. Clarence, what are you doing here?"

Mr. Clarence's head throbbed painfully. He vaquely remembered heading to the restroom but couldn't figure out how he had passed out.

Was it possible someone had tampered with something?

With this thought, he frantically checked his pockets. His keys and phone were still there, nothing seemed to be missing.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he had just run out of steam.

Just then, someone emerged from the restroom.

It was Eunice.

Reassured, Arlen invited all the guests to the garden for a fireworks display.

Under the grand fireworks, Arlen urged all the guests to raise their glasses and drink to their heart's content.

When the fireworks ended, he cut the cake amidst the crowd's cheers.

“What could possibly make him so jubilant?" Eunice noticed Arlen had been beaming since the beginning, an expression of triumph she had never seen before.

“Somebody messaged Mr. Clarence a while ago, saying the problem had been taken care of; Arabella explained. "Perhaps this was someone who had been a thorn in Arlen's side."

“It can only be your grandfather or uncle, but that's impossible,’ Eunice stated confidently. "They don't have the means to take care of anyone."

A servant brought over slices of cake to them. Arabella nibbled symbolically on a few bites, but soon after, she noticed quests collapsing one by one.

Eunice too struggled to stand, massaging her temples.
