Chapter 109 Karma Always Comes Around
Finished
Behind the folding screen, Yunice rose quietly to prepare the medicine. Outside, the well–dressed noblewoman leaned in close to whisper to the girl beside her. “Doesn’t it seem like Paul isn’t that into you? Could it be… he’s seeing someone else?”
The girl froze, her eyes widening in shock.
Gill, who was nearby, silently tiptoed behind the screen, her face practically spelling out ‘hot gossip‘ as she threw Yunice a conspiratorial look.
Yunice’s expression remained indifferent. She glanced sideways through the carved gap in the screen, fasting a brief look at the girl.
The girl’s face was bleak. She was clearly unhappy,
It did not take much for Yunice to guess her identity. She was probably the marriage prospect Jackson had arranged for Paul
Most likely, Paul had snuck out on this blind date without telling Elsie.
Yunice was not the least bit surprised. This outcome had been inevitable from the start.
