A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 245

“What’s happening now? Is Russell going to punish Mason right here?”

“Doesn’t look like it, though.”

“D*mn. I’m so glad I made it in time for this!”

“Am I the only one who finds it strange that none of the Bakers has turned up for Yvette’s birthday party?

No matter how busy they are, surely they can afford to come over for a while?”

“Perhaps the Bakers already knew what a shameless and promiscuous woman Yvette is!”

Arielle remained silent even as the guests continued with their fervent discussion and speculations.

She had already guessed Russell’s next course of action, but thankfully, she had a backup plan.

Arielle was no saint, and she especially couldn’t forgive Yvette for wanting to destroy her reputation. For

those who loved her, she loved them fiercely back. But for those who meant her harm, it was

an eye for an eye. Thus, Arielle was determined to let Yvette have a taste of her own medicine.

Why isn’t Vinson back yet, though? It has been so long. Could he have run into some obstacles?

Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of his guests, Russell calmly led Mason onto the stage.

This time, however, Russell was in a different state of mind.

The first time he stood on the stage, he was happily celebrating his daughter’s birthday. Now, he was

going to have to put on a pretense and lie through his teeth.




Russell accepted the microphone from his housekeeper and took a deep breath.

It was tough having to face a group of guests, who had only swarmed in to watch the show. Russell

wanted nothing more than to chase all of them out, but he knew he couldn’t do that.

If he did, not only would the Actonwards not be able to live down the

embarrassment, but they would also offend many people in their circle. It might even lead to them

spreading the rumor about Yvette being nothing more than a promiscuous woman.

As such, there was nothing else Russell could do other than to offer a reasonable explanation.

Steeling himself, Russell forced a smile and pulled Mason toward him. “Everyone, what happened today

was truly shameful, and I sincerely apologize for it. I have prepared a gift for each of you which you can

take on your way out. And now, I have two other announcements to make.”

The guests craned their necks excitedly, waiting to hear what Russell had to say

However, no matter what Russell said, they knew he wouldn’t be able to hide the fact that Yvette had

messed around with Mason while being engaged. There was no way he could explain his way out of

that.

After a pause, Russell continued, “The truth is, I had intended to make one of those announcements right

from the start. But as you know, I fainted and

subsequently forgot about it. I gues’s now’s as good a time as any to break the news.”

Everyone got even more curious and started chattering among themselves.

“Truth be told, Yvette had broken off her engagement with the Bakers a while back.”

After such shocking news, the room was instantly in an uproar.

“So the Actonwards called off the engagement with the Bakers? No wonder the Bakers didn’t respond

even with what was happening on the internet.”

“Exactly! But why would Yvette ditch a perfect man like Jordan Baker to be with Mason Moore?”

Just then, someone shouted, “Even with the engagement called off, it’s still inappropriate for Yvette to be

involved with Mason, isn’t it?”

Russell knew the question was coming and calmly replied, “That’s what I was about to announce. Yvette

is already engaged to Mason.”

Once again, everyone was taken aback.

Russell added, “My original plan was to announce this tomorrow after they’ve collected their marriage

certificate. But after what happened, I can’t delay that anymore. I do believe that you aren’t pedantic

people, so naturally, you can understand the needs that an engaged couple might have at home.”
