Chapter 100

They had gathered together at last, so Ray suggested, "Let's have dinner together."

He couldn't help but glance at Aisha, who remained as cold as ever

"You guys go ahead, I'm heading back," Aisha said before turning to leave

Ray quickly grabbed her arm. "Come on, Aisha, don't be like that. It's rare for us to hang out, and it's your first time meeting Flora. Won't you stay for dinner?

It seemed she loathed Ray to such an extent that she couldn't bear to look at him any longer.

Ray's expression soured as he watched Aisha walk away. Swearing under his breath, he resignedly followed her.

Flora had never seen Ray so deflated. He was usually quite the charmer. She was curious but didn't pry.

"What shall we have for dinner tonight?" she asked, leaning on Connor.

"What do you feel like eating?" Connor asked softly.

"I'm in the mood for some fondue."

"Alright"

At the Brimer family's home, Wade had called in a family doctor to

o treat Yvonne's arm.

After examining her, the doctor assured, "Don't worry, the bone isn't damaged. Just rest it for a while, and don't use it too much"

Yvonne's arm was severely swollen, and the pain made her imitable.

"Wade, I have a fashion design contest to participate in! How am I supposed to win first place with my arm like this?" Yvonne had always been passionate about fashion design and was a huge fan of Rose.

It was a rare opportunity for her to meet Rose up close, and she had been preparing for months, but now, her arm was injured. Wade handed her a glass of water and some anti-inflammatory pills, responding imitably, "And whose fault is that? The doctor said it's nothing serious. It won't affect your contest."

"Yes, Yvonne, don't worry too much. Your arm will definitely recover before the contest," Canna tried to comfort her

Yvonne directed all her anger at Carina. "Shut up! Who gave you the right to use my name? It's all because of you. You brought bad luck!" If it hadn't been for Carina egging her on and claiming Flora couldn't ride, she wouldn't have raced Flora, and none of this would have happened.

Carina had never been so blatantly insulted before and looked visibly upset. Her head was bowed, eyes reddened but not quite crying, a sight that would invoke pity in most men.

But not Wade. He was nearly tired of her and harbored some resentment

it towards Carina

"You shouldn't stay here. I'll have someone take you home."

Feeling humiliated, Carina clenched her fists but nodded obediently.

She didn't return to Willowtree Estate but went to the Irving family's home instead.

Flora probably hadn't retumed yet.

She had gone to great lengths to have Aaron act against Flora and had indirectly inquired about the outcome, but Aaron refused to divulge anything. She wanted to see if she could replace any clues at the Irving family's home.

It was a weekday, and both Raul and Hennik were out.

The servant hesitated to let her in, saying, "Miss Carina, please wait. Mr. Raul and Mr. Henrik are out. I'll call them."

"It's okay." Carina said coolly. "I'm just here to pick up some of my things. Il be leaving shortly"

ht to return to the Irving family's home now? Don't

The servant was still blocking her, and she frowned, "What, do I not even have the right forget, my last name is Irving, too."

The servant stepped aside, letting her in Canna was right, after all. The servant had no right to stop her.

Carina headed upstairs to her room, closely followed by the servant.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

The servant glanced at Carina and hesitated, thinking she wouldn't do anything untoward, and went to answer the door Carina quickly entered Flora's room.

The room was a bit messy, and Carina's eyes fell on the computer on the desk. She hurried over and tried to turn on the computer, but the screen remained black, unresponsive to her frantic clicking Hearing the servant coming upstairs, Carina closed the computer and left. At the door, she noticed several crumpled papers in the trash bin.

Curious, she picked them up and saw a fashion design sketch.

Although she wasn't an expert in fashion design, she had an eye for aesthetics. She had seen Yvonne's designs, and this sketch wasn't even a tenth as good.

If she gave this sketch to Yvonne..

Her heart raced at the thought! She stuffed the paper into her clothes and hurried out.

The servant was just coming upstairs.

"I've found what I was looking for. I'll be leaving now," Carina said coolly. "Please don't tell my uncle, Henrik, or Flora about my visit today."

Then, she quickly descended the stairs and left the Irving family's home.
