Gabrielle let out a long, melancholle sigh but did not elaborate further.
Sheena smiled as she pretended to joke, “Are you afraid these desserts will make your gain weight? Don’t worry. These are all made with sugar–free buttercream by a five–star pastry chef, sweet but not too heavy. They’re delicious and not very high in calories.”
Gabrielle accepted the dessert Sheena offered but did not eat it right away.
Instead, she grumbled, “I got scolded by Romello yesterday, and I almost got grounded today. It’s been a bit of a downer for me.”
Sheena was surprised, asking, “Why did Romello want to ground you? Is it… because of me? Is he trying to keep you from attending my tea party?”
Gabrielle shook her head quickly. “No, it’s because I messed up.”
She lowered her head in frustration, then leaned closer to Sheena, whispering mysteriously, “Sheena, I’ll tell you a secret, but don’t tell anyone else.”
Sheena nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Gabrielle trusted her and continued, “Yesterday, I couldn’t resist my curiosity and wanted to peek into Phoebe’s room. And guess what I found?”
Sheena’s expression became serious. “What?”
“There was no one in Phoebe’s room!”
Sheena furrowed her brow and whispered, “Romello said she’s been sick, resting at home. How could there be no one in her room? Did you see Romello taking Phoebe out?”
Gabrielle was adamant about the matter, replying, “She couldn’t have left the Nicholls. residence. I’ve been watching every day and haven’t seen her leave. She must be inside. the mansion!”
She glanced around before leaning in closer to Sheena again, adding, “Romello has. added several bodyguards to the top floor these past few days. I suspect Phoebe either made a mistake and got locked up by Romello, or she’s contracted some rare or
contagious illness and needs to be quarantined.”
Sheena listened quietly, feeling even more worried about Phoebe’s situation.
Originally, she had planned to slip the crystal earrings into Gabrielle’s purse discreetly.

However, Gabrielle truly regarded her as a sister and friend.
If she did that and it became public, it could irreparably damage their relationship.
Sheena felt conflicted.
Gabrielle tilted her head and looked at Sheena, asking, “Sheena, what’s on your mind?”
After some time, Sheena raised her head again, locking eyes with Gabrielle, deciding to
take a risk
She asked, “Gabrielle, you’re curious about what happened to Phoebe too, right? I have a way to let you see her.”
Gabrielle blinked innocently, looking intrigued. “What way?”
Sheena leaned in close to her car and whispered a few words.
Gabrielle’s expression quickly changed, exclaiming, “Sheena, no way! If Romello replaces. out, he’ll kill me!”
Sheena patted her hand, reassuring her. “Don’t worry, I’ll teach you what to say. When the time comes, you just need to shift all the blame onto me.‘
Gabrielle was hesitant and uncertain.
Sheena persuaded her earnestly until she finally relented.
