Chapter 496

• During this waiting process, my mind was almost blank. I didn't know if Olivia Yarlett would survive, I didn't know how she would accuse me once she was rescued, and I didn't even know where to go from here. The surrounding accusations were suffocating me, and I wanted to explain, I wanted to tell them that I didn't do anything, but I couldn't. It felt like something was choking my throat, and my feet were weighed down by heavy sandbags. I could only stand there, dumbfounded and silent.
• I didn't know how long I had been waiting, but more and more guests gathered around me. Those people were eagerly anticipating this spectacle, their whispered conversations making me sick.
• I couldn't help but mock myself in my mind. Wherever I am, there's always a spectacle. If they want to join in the future, they can find out where I'm attending a dinner party.
