âHeâs busy,â Carlos answered briefly.
At this time, I chimed in, âDenise, Caleb asked Carlos to bring some desserts from Roz Town.
He brought enough for me and you.
Would you like to have a taste?â
Although Carlos didnât know what I was up to, he still played along.
âYes, this is Roz Townâs specialty.
Itâs very delicious.
You should try iti
âReally? What is it?â
Denise looked at the dessert in the box in my hand in surprise.
After we sat down at the table, I handed her a piece and she began to eat it.
Denise chewed it slowly, as though she was trying to savor its sweetness.
When Gwen came over to serve breakfast and saw what Denise was eating, all the color drained from her face.
Without saying a word, Gwen shoved the plate of dessert onto the floor.
Denise was obviously startled.
She looked at Gwen in surprise and opened her mouth, as though she was about to ask her something.
But for some reason, she couldnât make any sound.

Debraâs POV:
Carlos looked at Denise, who was flailing her arms helplessly, and asked curiously, âWhatâs going on, Denise? Why arenât you saying anything?â
Denise stretched out her hand and made a crazy gesture, but she still couldnât make a sound.
She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes and she stomped her foot loudly.
I sneered.
It turned out that I had been right about Gwen.
The maid had laced the dessert with some sort of drug thatâd make me mute.
Fortunately, I had seen through her trickery, or else Iâd be the dumb one now.
If I became mute, I wouldnât be able to attend the etiquette classes, which in turn meant that I wouldnât be able to meet Calebâs father.
ALL of Jeniferâs plans would be disrupted.

Realizing this, I stared at Gwen with sharp eyes.
âWhat on earth is going on?â
Suddenly, a dignified female voice came from behind us.
I turned around and saw Jenifer walking in elegantly.
Doubt filled her emerald eyes as her gaze swept across the room.
Tears welled up in Deniseâs eyes and she immediately ran over to
Jenifer.
Again with the pitiful act, she held Jeniferâs hand and sobbed silently.
