‘As I rummaged through the boxes, I suddenly found an extremely gorgeous gown with complicated patterns.
I took it out and revealed it under the sunlight. I was surprised to find that its color was a standard ice blue.
“Winnie, look. Mommy seems to be trying on a dress. Is she going on a date?” Nicole poked Winnie and asked curiously.
‘Winnie looked carefully around the room before shaking her head. “That’s a very formal dress. Mommy wouldn’t wear it to a date.”
“A formal dress?” Nicole cupped her chin thoughtfully. “Does that mean Mommy is going to a ball? Should we tell Galen?”
After saying that, Nicole raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
This watch was a portable communication device that Galen had modified so that it could be used to communicate and send messages. It had been his little invention in his boredom, but now it had come in handy in his plan to matchmake Alpha and Luna.
With it, Nicole and Galen would be able to report the situation from both sides at any time.
Seeing Winnie shrug her shoulders in a non-committal manner, Nicole thought about it and sent a message to Galen.
On the other side, Galen hadn’t been in his new residence long before Alpha called him again.
“Has there been any progress on the ghost doctor’s whereabouts?” Alpha asked expressionlessly.
‘The reason why he was in such a hurry to find the ghost doctor was because he realized that Noelle’s situation was becoming more and more out of his control. If he didn’t get rid of the poison in Noelle’s body, there might be other changes to Noelle.
Seeing Alpha’s scrutinizing and coercive gaze, Galen secretly wiped his sweat.
Ghost doctor Luna lived right next door to Alpha, how would he come up with her whereabouts!
And yet, he couldn’t say he didn’t know. Because once he lost his usefulness, Alpha would surely remember to get even with him, then he’d be screwed.
Just as Galen was racking his brains to come up with something, he suddenly saw a message from Nicole. His eyes lit up.
Luna was going to a ball? Wouldn’t that be the perfect way to treat it as information to tell Alpha and at the same time promote their relationship?
“I did find something. The ghost doctor might appear at a ball the day after tomorrow, I’ll send you the details of the ball later.” Galen narrowed his eyes and pretended to be profound.
“Hmm, well done.” Alpha revealed all his thoughts and nodded.
Time flew by, and it was the third day. I put on the ice blue dress I found in my mother’s box and headed to the ball location alone.
I know nothing about the details of this ball and the other invited guests because the commission would always keep the information of the clients confidential. I can only react accordingly to what would happen next.
Everything went very smoothly for the process of verifying my identity. However, what surprised me was that the venue of the ball was an extremely luxurious manor. There were also many guests at the ball, and they all looked like wealthy and noble people.
Why did I come here as the first heir of my mother’s inheritance?
I walked into the banquet hall with my heart full of doubts. However, no one came to pick me up. I could only follow the crowd aimlessly.
I walked all the way to the front of the crowd. Just as I was looking around for suspicious people, the lights suddenly lit up. Thereafter, an old silver-haired gentleman in a gray suit walked down the stairs. He held a microphone and coughed lightly. “Dear guests, welcome to Miss Luna’s inheritance
ceremony. On behalf of Miss Luna, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude.”
