Chapter 244 Promiscuous

The aroma diffuser!

Yvette was sure the problem laid with the aroma diffuser. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have mistaken Mason for Jordan.

Didn’t Matthias say the effect would only last for fifteen minutes? How could I still have been affected by it?

Unless… does Arielle have something to do with it?

After giving it much thought, Yvette eventually shook the idea off. Matthias was the one who obtained the drug from overseas, and even if Arielle had medical expertise, she wouldn’t have been able to extend the effects.

Matthias must have been careless and left the smell lingering in the air. That’s why I got affected!

For a while, Yvette was at a loss for words and overwhelmed by despair.

She had intended to set Arielle up, but alas, the plan backfired on her. What made it worse was that she couldn’t tell anyone about it without exposing her malicious intent toward Arielle.

How am I supposed to go on after what happened?

Jordan definitely wouldn’t want me anymore!

Despite her mounting anxiety, Yvette had no choice but to suffer in silence.

Russell felt a pang of sympathy when he saw how pale and helpless Yvette looked.

She was his daughter, after all, and he couldn’t leave her in the lurch.

Having made up his mind, Russell gritted his teeth.

Fine. Let’s make the best out of a bad situation.

“Mason!” Russell exclaimed, mixed feelings swirling inside of him. “Do you swear to treat Yvette well for the rest of your life? Will you love her, care for her, and never let her down?”

Mason instinctively straightened his back and raised his right hand. “I promise to love Yvette and care for her as long as we both shall live!”

Russell sighed in resignation and nodded. “Okay. I got it.”

Stunned by the sudden proclamation, Yvette trembled as she asked, “Got what, Dad? What are you planning to do?”

Try as she might, Yvette couldn’t shake off the bad feeling of what was to follow.

“What do you think I plan on doing?” Russell bellowed. “We owe everyone an explanation after your shameful act! Otherwise, how are you going to live with it? How will our family be able to face society again?”

Yvette stared open-mouthed before stuttering in disbelief, “S-So… What are you trying to say?”

“The two of you are going to get married!”

Thrilled by the decision, Mason’s eyes lit up. Yvette, on the other hand, was so overwhelmed by rage that she felt her vision blurring.

“But I don’t want to marry him. I want to marry Jordan…” Yvette muttered under her breath before she blacked out.

Unfortunately, Mason had heard her words, and his face immediately fell.

“Yvette, didn’t you say you like me?”

Alas, Yvette was already dead to the world, so all Mason got in response was utter silence.

Despite seeing his daughter faint from the shock, Russell remained unfazed, his sympathy for her long gone.

“Clara, get Yvette dressed and have Dr. Jangler check on her!” Russell said coldly. “Mason, come with me. I need to give an explanation to everyone. All you need to do later is to listen, and don’t say a word.”

As reluctant as he was, Mason put his worry for Yvette aside and followed Russell downstairs.

Unsurprisingly, all the guests were still milling around downstairs. To them, the whole fiasco was a good show that they couldn’t afford to miss.

Even those who initially turned down the party invite had shown up after hearing about the juicy scandal.

As such, guests continued to stream in, making the hall livelier than ever.

After all, to gossip was human nature.

Once they saw Russell come down the stairs with Mason, the male lead in the video, the excitement among the guests got even more intense.
