They Are Waiting for Me
“Joe, take Naomi inside first,” Mrs. Louise commanded.
With everyone gathered here, any oversight on the part of the guests would surely invite gossip.
Joe nodded and led Naomi away.
Once they were gone, Yvonne exclaimed indignantly, “This Cynthia Shannon must be doing this on purpose!”
Mrs. Louise shot her a warning glare. “Hold your tongue! Be careful not to incur your grandfather's wrath and end up confined again!”
Hearing this, Yvonne had no choice but to grudgingly close her mouth. Ever since she had been grounded for a whole month after the last time at her grandfather's birthday banquet, she hadn't stepped out of the house. If it weren't for the Louise Corporation's anniversary celebration today and her persistent pleading, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to leave her room until now.
Standing beside her, Mrs. Louise was fraught with worry. She had arranged everything with the reporters inside. If Cynthia didn't show up today, her plan would go down the drain.
