Chapter 273

I felt a sudden chill before a searing heat set in. It felt like someone had thrown me into an oven before plunging me into an ice cavern. The Wood family's household staff went away to wake up the aforementioned Ms. Lancaster. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wood turned around and approached the circle of noble ladies before resuming her chat with them. I heard Logan's voice. "Let's take a seat over there, Ari." I nodded numbly before I moved my stiffened feet and followed him to a corner of the living room. I didn't realize that I had forgotten to breathe until I took a seat on the chair. This was a huge mistake. I shouldn't have come to this party. I hung my head as tears fell on my dress. The fabric was so smooth that they slid right off and disappeared from sight. Logan stood next to me and handed me a piece of tissue quietly. I glanced at him for a second before I quickly lowered my head. At that moment, someone by the stairs said something. A figure in white swiftly darted toward us.
