Nina's eyelids flew open. She was in a cold, strange room. The clock on the wall said it was one past eight. It was light out.
She had been in here all night.
She willed the mories of last night to flood her mind. A sickeningly sweet sll still lingered on the tip of her nose. She instantly recognized what it was. It was diethyl ether.
Albert had rendered her unconscious with diethyl ether.
Before she passed out, she rembered kicking open a cabinet in front of her, which was full of Pink Panther dolls.
It was because of those dolls that she realized that George was Albert.
Nina had always known that Albert had a secret girlfriend who liked Pink Panther dolls. She had seen him smiling at Pink Panther dolls several tis, and it was not just a simple, innocent smile from soone who appreciated toys. It was a smile that ca from fondness and longing.
Nina knew that the dolls reminded Albert of soone special. The loving glint in his eyes practically scread.
But even though she was able to finally guess it, she was still a little too late.
She had fallen into Albert's trap.
Nina climbed t
harply at Isabella. It was said that a person who had been away for three days must be looked at with fresh eyes.
Isabella seed to have changed a lot since she slapped and humiliated her. She was calm and firm with her threats.
She had finally learned how to play the ga with complete self-confidence.
This ti, Nina was not going to win against her the way she had done before. She had to use another strategy. Vengeance had always been her way of doing things, and the most effective thod was manipulation.
Nina glanced at Isabella's tassel earrings and asked curiously, "Why are you wearing different tassel earrings today? Didn't you always wear the pair that Albert said he liked?"
Isabella's heart jolted. She touched the tassel earring, guilt clouding her beautiful face. "I accidentally lost them," she murmured.
She was in a hurry to leave a place
when she dropped it.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Isabella did not dare look into Nina's eyes, fearing that she would notice sothing.
She had lost the tassel earrings in a dangerous place, and if people found out, she would be dood.
