Chapter 66 The Scarf and The Trap

Yunice thought. The next time I go to the Powell mansion, vill have to return the scarf.

Finished

Elsie was prone to jealousy, and the way she had looked at this scarf earlier, it was as if she wanted to set it on fire. I had to be careful not to give Elsie the opportunity to damage

As she folded the scarf. Yunice noticed a fish at the end that reminded her of the fish in Jackson’s yard.

It was common knowledge that Jackson loved fish. The ones his pond were specially bred Platinum Arowana, worth millions each.

If the scarf had a fish embroidered on it, could it really belong to Mr. Jackson?

After some thought. Yunice still couldn’t decide where to put the scarf.

It was too big and too conspicuous.

I had no privacy in the Saunders mansion, and Giana often immaged through my things…

With that in mind. Yunice simply wrapped the scarf around her neck again. Keeping it with me was the safest

Her cell phone buzzed against her lower back

Yunice hopped off the stool and checked her phone, tuning her back to the surveillance camera.

Bale had been a doctor for too long; why was he always telling things halfway?

He didn’t explain what was wrong or what he wanted me to do; he just asked me to go to the hospital.

After a moment’s hesitation, Yunice decided to go. I had nothing else to do, and Bale had helped me before. This could be a way of returning the favor

Yunice noticed something odd, the driver hadn’t turned on the meter.

She looked at him suspiciously and reminded him, “Sir you forgot to start the meter.

The driver let out an “Oh and fumbled with the device Yunice frowned. “Are you new to this job?”

The driver turned his head and grinned. “Yeah, just started a few days ago. Still getting the hang of it. Please stay seated,”

Only then did Yunice release her grip on the door handle.

Half an hour later, the cab pulled up near the hospital.

Yunice

ed the driver a hundred–dollar bill and got out.

“Ugh!”

The moment her feet hit the ground, a bag was thrown over her head. Before she could make a sound, a hand was clamped over her mouth, and she was shoved into another car!

Back at the Saunders mansion, it was business as usual

It wasn’t until dinner that Owen realized Yunice wasn home. He put down his tableware in a huff.

Owen teased, “Mom, Elsie will have a good life with the Powells. It’s a happy occasion.”
