Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince By Dark Knight
Chapter 106 The Mysterious Figure
Cherry’s POV:
I hugged the box tightly, feeling guilty. “Where is the invitation?”
The she-wolf sat straight and snorted at me. She took out an exquisite invitation from her bag and waved it in front of me.
My eyes lit up, and I reached out for the invitation, but the she-wolf quickly took it back.
“The box.” She sounded cold and ruthless.
I coughed nervously and gave the box to her. I was very apprehensive, hoping that she wouldn’t tell me something was missing. The she-wolf elegantly placed the box on her lap and examined the contents. Suddenly, she looked up at me with sharp eyes.
“Are you sure you have taken everything?” she asked rudely. My heart leaped to my throat. I couldn’t help but wonder if she had realized that something was missing in the box. I could barely maintain my composure. “Pretty sure. This was the only box in Sylvia’s dormitory. I didn’t see anything else.” The she-wolf examined my face as if trying to read my mind. I gulped and looked at her. “What else do you want? Is there anything special about these things? I saw the box; I took it and that was all. Why don’t I go back and help you find what you’re looking for if I miss something? Sylvia and her roommate are in cla*s*s. She wouldn’t be back any time soon.” I feigned innocence to get information from the she-wolf. But she didn’t fall into my trap. She snorted coldly and looked away. Her arrogance made me unhappy. I pursed my lips and frowned.
“It’s just a box.” My disdain made the she-wolf lower her vigilance. She ignored me and rummaged in the box again. Perhaps she was afraid I would see what was in the box, so she deliberately turned around. Moments later, she finally closed the box.
It seemed that she really didn’t know what was in the box. Her question had been a trick to test me. I was secretly pleased. Fortunately, I had gambled now. If I had known it earlier, I would have taken more things with me.
The she-wolf put the gift box beside her. When she raised her hand, I saw a faint scar on her wrist. I observed her behavior and mannerisms from the corner of my eye. My brain raced as I tried guessing who she was.
The she-wolf didn’t do anything after putting down the gift box, so I got anxious again. I feared she would go back on her word after taking the box. “Where is the invitation? Give it to me now.” The she-wolf threw the invitation on me as if I were a beggar.
I suppressed my anger and securely put the hard-earned invitation into my pocket. No one had treated me like this before. I hated her. If it weren’t for the invitation card, I would have lashed out at her.
“Don’t tell anyone about what happened today. You better be smart. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences,” the she-wolf warned again. I reluctantly decided, even though her arrogance irked me. But now that I had got the invitation, I didn’t want to argue with her. I would get even with her after the ball.
“Get out. Remember to keep your mouth shut!” the she-wolf growled and drove me out of the car. The car spewed the exhaust gas on my face as they drove off. Anger surged through my veins. I covered my nose and stomped my foot in frustration. ‘How could they be arrogant?’
Although they seemed sophisticated, they were cheap people who secretly stole clothes. Sooner or later, I would make these snobs surrender to me. I glared in the direction where the car had disappeared, took out my mobile phone, and turned off the recording. With the recording and the license plate number, I was sure I could find out who the mysterious figure was.
After taking deep breaths, I took out the invitation and read it over and over again. The exquisite cover exuded a faint fragrance. I couldn’t help but inhale the sweet scent. I felt close to the royal family for the first time. I began thinking about what to wear at the ball. Red was said to be Prince Richard’s favorite color, so I decided to wear a red outfit. The mere prospect of getting close to Prince Richard cheered me up. I believed my beauty would sweep Prince Richard off his feet. I was not afraid to compete with Lucy. I walked back, feeling thrilled and excited.
