Chapter 914
Gabrielle let out a long, melancholle sigh but did not elaborate further.
Sheena smiled as she pretended to joke, âAre you afraid these desserts will make your gain weight? Donât worry. These are all made with sugarâfree buttercream by a fiveâstar pastry chef, sweet but not too heavy. Theyâre delicious and not very high in calories.â
Gabrielle accepted the dessert Sheena offered but did not eat it right away.
Instead, she grumbled, âI got scolded by Romello yesterday, and I almost got grounded today. Itâs been a bit of a downer for me.â
Sheena was surprised, asking, âWhy did Romello want to ground you? Is it⦠because of me? Is he trying to keep you from attending my tea party?â
Gabrielle shook her head quickly. âNo, itâs because I messed up.â
She lowered her head in frustration, then leaned closer to Sheena, whispering mysteriously, âSheena, Iâll tell you a secret, but donât tell anyone else.â
Sheena nodded solemnly. âDonât worry, I wonât.â
Gabrielle trusted her and continued, âYesterday, I couldnât resist my curiosity and wanted to peek into Phoebeâs room. And guess what I found?â
Sheenaâs expression became serious. âWhat?â
âThere was no one in Phoebeâs room!â
Sheena furrowed her brow and whispered, âRomello said sheâs been sick, resting at home. How could there be no one in her room? Did you see Romello taking Phoebe out?â
Gabrielle was adamant about the matter, replying, âShe couldnât have left the Nicholls. residence. Iâve been watching every day and havenât seen her leave. She must be inside. the mansion!â
She glanced around before leaning in closer to Sheena again, adding, âRomello 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 sheâs contracted some rare or
contagious illness and needs to be quarantined.â
Sheena listened quietly, feeling even more worried about Phoebeâs situation.
Originally, she had planned to slip the crystal earrings into Gabrielleâs 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, âSheena, whatâs on your mind?â
After some time, Sheena raised her head again, locking eyes with Gabrielle, deciding to
take a risk
She asked, âGabrielle, youâre curious about what happened to Phoebe too, right? I have a way to let you see her.â
Gabrielle blinked innocently, looking intrigued. âWhat way?â
Sheena leaned in close to her car and whispered a few words.
Gabrielleâs expression quickly changed, exclaiming, âSheena, no way! If Romello finds. out, heâll kill me!â
Sheena patted her hand, reassuring her. âDonât worry, Iâll teach you what to say. When the time comes, you just need to shift all the blame onto me.â
Gabrielle was hesitant and uncertain.
Sheena persuaded her earnestly until she finally relented.

Meanwhile, the news about the Santos Groupâs food safety issue had been circulating online for two days..
During these short two days, the Santos Group had suffered greatly, and their major hotels and restaurants faced boycotts, with their stocks plummeting, leading to huge

Wayne tried everything to suppress the news but failed.
Finally unable to sit still, he took the initiative to meet with Howard, hoping to enlist his help in removing the trending topic.
In the private dining room of a hotel, Wayne nervously rubbed his hands, waiting silently.
His heart was heavy with uncertainty as he needed to seek assistance.
After five anxious minutes, the door to the private room opened.
