Chapter 381

"That wasn't mentioned." Yasmine shook her head with a slight frown.

Rebecca was only there for fun. Mask or no mask, she probably had no idea who most of the attendees were.

Seeing how distracted Yasmine and Vespera were, she whispered, "What's up? Is something wrong with this ball?"

Yasmine thought about it. She relaxed before saying with a smile, "I've dealt with Mrs. Dawson very often. She's a great philanthropist.

"Whether it's her or her husband, both are highly regarded in society and aren't running some shady pyramid scheme. Although things are a little strange today, there's no need to be nervous."

Vespera added, "While what you said makes sense, you never really know someone. Since we're both suspicious, we should be on our guard."

Yasmine exclaimed, "Oh, look around! This place is full of wealthy socialites. Everyone in Halewick knows this place belongs to Mrs. Dawson. If she was up to something, surely she'd pick somewhere more remote-like a place in the mountains."

"It's better to be on our guard." Vespera insisted on remaining cautious. She took one look at the wine in Rebecca's hand and reached for it. She even put her own glass aside.

Yasmine gazed at Vespera in silence. Wasn't that a bit much? Would Emily serve poisoned drinks in the hall?

Did Vespera suspect that Emily wanted to poison everyone in the banquet hall? Was Vespera out of her mind?
