Chapter 190 A Dummy Theodore quickly walked to the front of the bed, but he couldn't stop Yvette's actions.
As soon as the quilt was lifted, there was an uproar in the room. All the Godfrey family's relatives turned their heads to avoid looking, but they couldn't help but want to watch the commotion. Amongst these people, the only one who couldn't conceal the joy on her face was Josephine.
Initially, Mrs. Godfrey was very angry because Leon had done such a shameful thing on such an occasion, but when she saw the obvious hope and anticipation in Josephine's eyes, her eyes narrowed. "You seduced a man in broad daylight. I'll tear your face off!" Yvette grabbed the woman's hair while hitting and cursing her. However, after a few words, her voice seemed to be suddenly stuck in her throat and she stopped abruptly.
In front of everyone's surprised eyes, Yvette actually lifted the head of the 'woman' from the bed, and the long black hair lifted in her hands.
"Ah!" With a scream, the 'head' was thrown away and it crashed onto the floor as it rolled to the front of the crowd.
This strange scene made the relatives in the front row, who were watching the commotion, step back in surprise. Even Mrs. Godfrey was shocked. She held her chest and almost fell over. "It-It's a dummy?" Somebody exclaimed before all the onlookers dared to look at the ground.
Indeed, it was a dummy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the relatives present wore complicated expressions and whispered among themselves.
"How is that possible?" Josephine looked at the 'head' on the ground and her expression changed. The sound of the discussion around her was loud, which drowned out her voice. Only Mrs. Godfrey, who was next to her, saw her reaction clearly.
Theodore stood next to the bed, frowning as he watched the ridiculous scene unfold before him. He let out a sigh of relief.
Helen had never seen such an absurd thing before. She was also stunned and didn't say anything for a long time. "Th-This is..." Yvette stared at the dummy on the bed, and after a long time, she cback to her senses. She was ashamed and angry. "Leon, I didn't expect you... to have this kind of interest. You are simply a pervert! I want to break off the engagement with you!" With this sentence, Yvette cried while she squeezed through the crowd and ran out.
The rest of the people looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Let the children deal with their own affairs." The butler led everyone back to the banquet hall, embarrassed. He braced himself and explained, "Today is Madam Scott's birthday banquet. Everyone, don't be swept away by this little matter. Let's go back to the banquet hall. We haven't cut the cake yet." "Yes, yes, yes. Let's go back and cut the cake." "Let's go, let's go." It was as if the relatives had made an agreement and left the room one after another. As soon as they walked out of the room, no one mentioned it anymore. After all, everyone had their own special interests, didn't they? Helen looked at Leon; she wanted to say something but didn't. After a while, she really didn't know what to say and just shook her head and left.
Mrs. Godfrey followed her and glared at Leon angrily, as if she was waiting to settle accounts with him. After that, she followed behind Helen and left.
The butler consoled him and said, "Mr. Allen, it doesn't matter if you are young and have spersonal interests, but on an occasion like today's, it's really too inappropriate. Alas, you'd better take care of yourself." Leon sat on the bed, and his whole mind was buzzing. "What interest? What personal interests?" He suddenly cback to his senses as he looked at the headless dummy lying on the bed. Then, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly said, "Hey, don't go, th-this isn't what you think." The relatives left quickly as no one wanted to stay in this awkward situation. In the blink of an eye, only Theodore was left standing by the bed.
"Where's Everleigh?" Theodore's voice cfrom the side.
"Everleigh? How would I know?" Leon grabbed his hair. Faced with such a chaotic scene, he couldn't believe it. "What the hell is this?" Theodore picked up the jacket on the floor and asked, "Why are her clothes here?" "I was going to ask you why I'm here." Leon was on the verge of breaking down. He lifted the quilt and kicked the dummy on the bed. "What the hell is this?" After so many people saw him lying in bed with a dummy, he couldn't clear his reputation now.
As they were talking, there was the sound of a door opening.
Theodore and Leon raised their heads and looked in the direction of the bathroom. They saw a dark green figure standing at the door.
"Cecil?" Leon's eyes narrowed.
Cecil pushed the door with one hand and her face was so disturbed that it was about to sink to the ground. She said coldly, "Today, I finally realized that the Godfrey family is a gathering ground for demons and ghosts. If one's not careful enough, their reputation will be ruined." Theodore's expression changed. In an instant, he realized something and hurried towards the bathroom. He pulled open the curtain of the bathtub.
Seeing what was in front of him, his cold eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Everleigh was curled up in the bathtub, unconscious. There was only a thin blanket covering her body and her snow-white shoulders were exposed under the blanket.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBehind him cCecil's cold sneer. "If I hadn't cearly, your Godfrey family would have drowned her with all their mouthfuls of spit." Cecil's voice echoed in the bathroom, and every echo was like a needle pricking his heart.
This was a trap. Someone had set up Everleigh and Leon, aiming to catch Everleigh and Leon having s*x in front of everyone. Leon's reputation had always been bad, and this would not cause much damage to him. So, this was aimed at Everleigh.
At the thought of this, Theodore's eyes were filled with deep remorse. He took off his suit jacket, covered the woman in the bathtub, and picked her up.
Cecil blocked him at the door. "Do you know that she suffered all this because of you? in order keep her away from you, the people around you are unscrupulous!" "I'll take care of it." Theodore's expression was calm yet tense, and his eyes were as deep as pools of water.
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability to deal with it. Do you know who did it?" "I do."
After he said that, Cecil met his cold eyes and she was also stunned for a moment. At that moment, Theodore had already left with Everleigh in his arms. Leon, who was sitting on the bed and putting on his pants, was so shocked by this scene that his jaw almost fell off.
Watching Theodore carry her out, he subconsciously explained to Cecil, "By heaven and hell, I didn't do anything. I'm still wearing my underwear!" Cecil looked at him from the bathroom door and scanned him from head to toe. She sneered. "Do you even have the guts?" "Huh? What do you mean?" "What I meant is given your understanding." Without looking back, Cecil left the room arrogantly in her 12cm high heels.
"What?" Leon got up from the bed out of anger. He took two steps andm on the ground in kicked the dummy on the head. He was so scared that he shivered. Seeing the dummy's head spin around on the ground, Leon suddenly thought of something.
Cecil had been in the bathroom from beginning till the end, that was to say, this dummy... Thinking of this, Leon's eyes suddenly narrowed. "Cecil, stop this instance!"
