The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 781 Rianne Saw Way Too Much

+8 Pearls

The moment Eddie stepped out of the Dawson residence, he was practically gloating; he stripped off his clothes as he walked. To his surprise, the trick had actually worked–but the stench was so unbearable it almost made him gag himself.

Rianne had just gotten out of the car.

And there, right in front of her, was Eddie–completely stark naked.

Their eyes met. Eddie blinked but didn’t say a word; he bolted straight into his own car.

Rianne remained rooted to the spot, staring at the pile of clothes Eddie had tossed onto the ground, utterly dumbfounded.

“Ugh…” The stench hit her next, so strong she nearly retched. She fought down the wave of nausea and hurriedly fled the scene.

Inside the house, a servant was frantically spraying air freshener, waving the bottle around as though battling the smell itself.

Rianne immediately caught the same stench clinging to Eddie’s discarded clothes.

The butler approached respectfully. “Ms. Dawson will be down in a moment.”

“Alright.”

Rianne nodded.

The butler had juice and coffee brought over; Rianne opted for juice.

About twenty minutes later, Stella finally came down the stairs. Her skin looked freshly cooled, damp strands of hair clinging to her forehead–it was obvious she’d just showered.

“Rianne.”

Stella’s tone carried an apology. “I meant to come down and greet you earlier, but something unexpected came up.”
