Chapter 175
Sophie ceased her struggles and looked up to meet Colby’s barely-there smirk.
“Come with me.” Colby grasped Sophie’s hand, leading her towards a secluded hallway.
The makeup artist had already set everything up. Colby pressed Sophie into a chair, and as she watched Colby’s exaggerated makeup in
the mirror, she teased, “With that makeup, you wouldn’t need a mask for me to fail to recognize you.”
Colby slowly respraded, “Even if you wore a mask and had even more dramatic makeup, I’d still know it was you.
Sophie blushed at his words.

The makeup artist quickly added a few touches to Sophie’s makeup, then pulled out the costume she had prepared earlier-a clown outfit as Sophie had described.
“Has James arrived yet?” Sophie inquired.
Colby’s mood soured at the mention of James. He replied indifferently, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” Tuming around in surprise, Sophie remarked, “If he doesn’t show up today, then this whole act would have been for nothing.”
“Whether he comes or not doesn’t matter. As long as he knows that tonight’s masquerade ball is fully booked, that’s enough.”
Sophie sensed a strong hint of jealousy in Colby’s tone. That’s true…
“But you just want to provoke him, right?”
Sophie couldn’t deny it, though she wasn’t that childish.
“If he comes and sees that Blake and I look nothing alike, he won’t suspect me anymore”
She had gone to great lengths to craft Blake’s identity. This time, she would wear flat shoes and don the clown costume to appear before James, dispelling any doubts he might have about her
“Sophie? Sophie? Are you ready yet?” Jenna’s voice whispered from outside the door.
Sophie, now dressed as a clown, opened the door to see Jenna in a fabulous dress. Sophie nodded, “I’m ready.”
