I had never run this fast in my life. I reached the door of Sylvia’s room as fast as I could. I knocked for a long time, but no one answered. I opened the door without hesitation. At a glance, I saw the gift box on the table with a note on it.
“Are you okay?” I asked as I approached him cautiously.
Harry weakly waved his hand, and the two swelling bumps on his forehead seemed to shine brighter under the sunlight.
“Aren’t you the she-wolf with Sylvia? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you looking for her?”
I nodded and said, “Yes. My name is Maya. It’s an urgent matter, so I need to find her immediately. Do you have any idea where she is right now?”
Harry shook his head and stretched his arms, revealing his strong muscles. “I heard she asked for leave this afternoon. You can go to her room to find her.”
I was a little confused by his behavior. I couldn’t understand why he needed to show off his muscles while talking. But I didn’t have time to think about it. All I wanted was to find Sylvia as soon as possible.
“Okay, I’ll go to the girls’ dormitory to find her. Goodbye.”
After saying this, I ran toward the dormitory building. Harry kept shouting behind me, asking who was stronger between him and Sylvia. What a strange man!
I had never run this fast in my life. I reached Sylvia’s room as quickly as I could. I knocked for a long time, but no one answered. Without hesitation, I opened the door. At a glance, I saw a gift box on the table with a note on it.
I picked up the note and realized something was wrong. Sylvia had backed out of tonight’s ball.
I knew how much Prince Rufus had been looking forward to the ball. In the past, he always turned a blind eye to such events, but this year, everything was different because of Sylvia’s presence. I could imagine how disappointed he would be if he found out she wasn’t coming anymore.
But I believed Sylvia wouldn’t do something like this without a reason. There had to be some misunderstanding.
I immediately took out my phone to call Prince Rufus, hoping he could persuade her to change her mind. However, he wasn’t answering either. He must be busy with work.
Feeling anxious, I grabbed the gift box and left the room, planning to report this to him in person.
But as soon as I reached the corner near the dormitory entrance, someone covered my mouth and nose with a cloth. The pungent smell of chemicals filled my nostrils. I immediately held my breath and struggled hard, but I couldn’t resist the drug’s effect. My consciousness gradually became fuzzy.
Before I completely blacked out, I saw the hand covering my mouth and nose-it had a flamboyant, diamond-studded manicure.
I picked up the note and realized that something was wrong. Sylvia actually backed out from tonight’s ball.
I knew how much Prince Rufus was looking forward to the ball. In the past, he always turned a blind eye to such activities. But this year, everything was different because of Sylvia’s existence. I could imagine how disappointed he would be if he found out that Sylvia wouldn’t be coming anymore.
But I believed that Sylvia was definitely not someone who would do this for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding.
I immediately took out my phone to call Prince Rufus, hoping he could persuade her to change her mind.
However, he was not answering either. He must be busy with his work at the moment.
I was so anxious that I picked up the gift box and left the room, planning to personally report to him.
But as soon as I reached a corner at the entrance of the dormitory, someone covered my mouth and nose with a cloth. The pungent smell of chemicals penetrated my nostrils. I immediately held my breath and struggled hard, but I still couldn’t resist the effect of the drug. My consciousness gradually became fuzzy.
Before I completely lost consciousness, I saw that the hand that covered my mouth and nose had a flamboyant diamond-studded manicure.
Cherry’s POV
I asked for a leave in my afternoon classes because I planned to break into Sylvia’s room to steal the dress.
But I didn’t expect that someone had taken action ahead of me. As soon as I walked to the front door of the dormitory, I saw a round-faced she-wolf wearing a dark blue dress coming out with a gift box. It looked exactly the same as the one in the photo.
I immediately hid behind a tree. When she got closer, I recognized that she was the servant who had been with Sylvia before.
Was she going to meet Sylvia to give her the gift box? I couldn’t let her get away with it.
Without a second thought, I took out the handkerchief from my pocket. I had put an overpowering drug on it. Actually, I prepared it especially for Sylvia, just in case.
I successfully stunned the round-faced servant with the handkerchief. Then I dragged her to a nearby warehouse, tied her up, and gagged her mouth.
At this moment, the servant’s phone rang. I took it out of her pocket and saw that the caller was the driver.
I thought about it for a while and decided that it was better not to alarm the enemy. So I rejected the phone call and sent a message to the driver. “Change of plan. Cancel the schedule.”
After sending the message, I threw the phone back disgustedly.
I looked at the delicate gift box on the ground, hesitating whether I should open it or not. I wanted to hand it over directly to that mysterious person, but I was too curious. What kind of thing would make that mysterious person take so much trouble?
Cherry’s POV
I struggled for a long time, but I still reached out and touched the edge of the lid of the box. Anyway, no one would know that I took a look at it.
And when I opened the gift box, I was shocked. How could there be such a beautiful dress and jewelry inside? I stroked the shining necklace, lost in thought.
I couldn’t help but pick up the beautiful dress and admire it up close. Although it looked a little smaller than my size, I should be able to wear it if I held breathed in.
On second thought, I wondered where Sylvia had gotten these things. Was she going to the ball too? But she was just a slave. How could she be qualified to attend such an event? I couldn’t even get an invitation. How could Sylvia have one?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I didn’t expect that I would be defeated by her one day.
But it didn’t matter now. It was a good thing that I took the gift box away. Sylvia wouldn’t be able to go to the ball anymore even if she wanted to. Thinking about it, I couldn’t help smiling complacently. I looked at the unconscious servant on the ground. She was as stupid as her master.
The more I looked at the things in the gift box, the more I liked them. I even had the urge to take them for myself. But my reason reminded me not to be so impulsive.
The identity of that mysterious person was definitely not simple and not to be trifled with. It might not be easy for me to get away if I misappropriated these things. Moreover, judging from Sylvia’s humble identity, what good things could she have? Perhaps these things just looked expensive but were actually knock-offs. The invitation was the most important thing for me at this moment. I didn’t want to suffer a double loss.
After I put the dress back, I opened the lid again and peeked at the items inside. Eventually, I couldn’t resist the greed in my heart. I took the diamond bracelet and hid it in my bag.
Maybe that mysterious person didn’t know exactly what was in the box. And even if they did, what could they do to me? If necessary, I could just return it to them. With this thought, I kept reassuring myself all the way. I skillfully avoided the surveillance cameras and ran to the back door of the academy.
I looked around and found a blind spot. I went there, turned on the recording app on my phone, and hid it in my pocket. Then I fixed my hair and got into the black car as if nothing had happened.
Inside the car sat a she-wolf wearing sunglasses and a mask. The driver was similarly dressed. The she-wolf raised the collar of her coat and said in a hoarse voice, “Did you get it?”
