Vespera slowed down. She was conflicted about whether she should interfere.

While pondering, a slightly plump middle-aged woman in a gown walked out from a room. She faked a bright, enthusiastic smile as she walked toward Fawn.

Both of them walked while chatting. They seemed to be heading in the direction of the mask room.

"That is..." Fawn had noticed Vespera standing in the corridor. Upon noticing Vespera, she found her rather familiar. A vague memory seemed to tug at her heartstrings.

Initially, Vespera decided against saying anything. She had already been through enough, so she couldn't be bothered whether someone was in trouble. At most, she would make an anonymous police report.

However, everyone had noticed her and was looking in her direction. It seemed like it was meant to be.

Vespera walked over. "Good evening."

"This is our VIP guest for tonight," Mrs. Dawson explained while secretly feeling nervous. Why did Vespera show up all of a sudden?

Fawn shook hands with Vespera graciously. Emily had explained earlier that the purpose of a masquerade ball tonight was to remove any barriers. Everyone would disregard their identities and chat freely.

Fawn greeted Vespera. "Hello! Your mask is gorgeous."

"Is it? Shall I help you pick yours?" Vespera responded naturally. To her, Fawn was lucky that she could help her out of this mess.

Fawn immediately agreed. "That's amazing. I'm sure young ladies like you have better taste than we do."

Emily was at a loss for words. Although she didn't want Vespera to enter the mask room, she had no other choice.

One, Vespera was a guest. Two, if Emily disagreed, that might raise Fawn's suspicions.

Emily could only say, "Sure. Let's pick a mask together."

They entered the room filled with masks hanging on the wall. Fawn was taken aback by the wide assortment of masks. "They look lovely."
