Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0092

I didn't want to make too much of a splash at the class reunion,

I got up, washed up, and chose a vintage, white, linen top with delicate floral embroidery around the neckline and cuffs and paired it with light blue culottes made of the same material.

For accessories, I opted for a pair of small, exquisite diamond stud earrings and a fine platinum chain to add a touch of elegance to my neck.

Standing in front of the mirror, I carefully examined my appearance. I looked well-prepared but not overly extravagant, and I was quite satisfied.

Before leaving, I called Neal to check if there were any updates on the situation.

Since Silas couldn't assist me with the communication with the Hawk family anymore, I had to handle things on my own, even if it meant dealing with Nicholas directly.

I wanted to give myself some closure on this matter, even though Frances' confident attitude was clear and all the evidence seemed to suggest that I could only deal with the scapegoat, Brittany. The phone rang a few times before it was suddenly disconnected. Subsequent attempts were equally futile.

Neal might have been busy, so I had no choice but to give up and head out with my handbag.

I took a taxi to the address Yasmine had sent me for the gathering. Just as I was about to call her to ask which private room we were in, I heard someone shouting my name. "Ariana!"

The vaguely familiar voice made me pause. I turned around to see a few men in suits standing at the entrance of the lobby, waving at me.

They were dressed formally as if they were professional lawyers. Due to the distance, I couldn't make out their faces and felt even more confused.

However, Yasmine soon pushed past the men and ran out from behind them, exclaiming, "Oh, Hunter, you're in my way!"
