Chapter 476 It's a Trap Why was Dawn calling her? If she remembered correctly, the two had not contacted each other over the phone for a long time. Not to mention, Rose felt like Dawn had turned into a different person when they had reunited in Regalia this time. Surprised, Rose quickly comforted her after sensing she was crying. "Dawn? What's wrong? It's okay. Calm down, and talk toslowly." Her concern was genuine and contagious. Had Dawn actually been in a terrifying situation, she would've felt comforted by her.
On the other side of the call, Dawn becstartled but only for a fleeting moment. As though discarding a part of her real self, she continued feigning terror and cried.
"Rose, I was wrong. I lied to you. This morning at the hospital, I wasn't crying out of happiness. It's supposed to be my wedding in two days. I asked Evan to return to Aquastead with me, but he refused, saying he wanted to postpone the wedding..." Rose was surprised to hear her mention this.
Dawn continued, "I cried because of that, Rose. I'm pregnant with Evo's baby, and the baby needs this ceremony. That's why I was anxious about it... I was mad, so I left the hospital to get sfresh air. I took a cab and told the driver to drivearound. "I was too focused on my thoughts and forgot about the time. When I realized, the fare meter showed an amount way out of my existing cash. I fought with the driver because I couldn't pay the full amount.
"After taking my money, he kickedout of the car... Rose, what should I do? There are no cars here at all... I'm hungry and thirsty..." She sobbed helplessly.
Rose softened her tone and comforted her. "Hey, relax. Does... Evan know?" For sreason, she thought Evan should be the first person Dawn reached out to when she needed help.
Dawn paused briefly and panicked. To avoid raising suspicion, she cried even harder. "Rose, I called Evo, but his phone was switched off. He's been too tired taking care of Eve lately. Maybe he's sleeping. I don't know... Rose, I'm scared..." Rose frowned upon hearing her sobs. If anything happened to a pregnant lady in the wild...

When Rose exited the ward, Dawn described her location. "I don't know where I am. After the driver left, I wandered and saw a sign labeled Mount Ebott." Rose didn't think much about that name. "Wait forthere." After ending the call, Rose told the nurses to look after Yvonne before leaving the hospital. She took a cab and tried to call Evan's number but was informed that his device had been switched off.
In the meantime, Dawn stood at Ebott Road, which she had carefully chosen beforehand. Just a distance away was 1 Mount Ebott, the designated location on the note.
She also anticipated Rose calling Evan on her way here. In an attempt to make the settings real, she deliberately returned to her hotel and prepared a glass of water, dosed with sleeping pills, for Evan. After he fell asleep, she unplugged his phone from the charger, knowing that his remaining battery wouldn't be sufficient to last the night.
As such, she wasn't lying when she told Rose that Evan's phone was dead. Even if Rose were to check out the situation, she would only hear an automated message stating his phone was switched off. Dawn caressed her belly and smiled coldly. "Sorry, Rose." She was, however, not sorry at all.
After a while, she thought of the lady she had met and quickly called the number on the note. The call soon connected.
"Hello?" A voice rang from her speaker.
Dawn's tone was careful. "It's me, madam." "It's you, Ms. Stevens. Have you done what I asked?" Lizzie looked and sounded amicable, but her eyes were tinted with coldness.
"I can only make Rose pass by your location, madam. That's... all I can do." Dawn had thought of countless ideas, but she arrived at this plan, which had the mildest chance of being exposed.
She knew that the lady, with such exquisite appearance, probably had a way to lure Rose inside.
As expected, Lizzie smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Stevens. That's more than enough. Rest assured that I'll repay you with my gratitude. Is your wedding in two days?" Dawn was shocked. How did she know that? "Yes- Well... no. It was supposed to be, but something happened. The wedding might be postponed." She didn't hide the disappointment in her tone.
Lizzie quickly knew what Dawn wanted. "There are still two days, Ms. Stevens. Perhaps things would fall back into place," she hinted at her. To Dawn, however, her consoling words were merely out of courtesy and didn't have any impact on her.
After ending the call, Dawn sat by the road. She pondered that lady's intention and what she wanted to do to Rose.
Nonetheless, she didn't regret being an accomplice. All she needed to do next was continue waiting. She had to finish the show without raising any suspicions.
At Finch Manor, Eleanor organized the family banquet that night in a rush. Although it was supposedly a family gathering, she had invited people outside the family, like Anastasia, Yara, and Rose.
Lizzie heard from Anna that Eleanor had personally sent Anastasia and Yara invitation cards while instructing Jonathan to bring Rose along.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter asking around about the incidents lately, Lizzie easily deduced why Eleanor wanted Jonathan to bring Rose.
If she could, so could Jonathan.
Judging by his affection for Rose, he affectioner couldn't possibly send her to the manor and face Eleanor's obstacles. As such, she concocted a plan. Since Jonathan prevented Rose from attending, Lizzie had set a trap for her to come! Recalling the phone call earlier, she revealed a sly look.
It wasn't a problem to her that Rose by the would only "pass by the manorm because she could easily make her stay! She burst into a cold laugh and called a number. The garden of Finch Manor was
especially busy at the moment. Yara had arrived early. Knowing Eleanor fingers and always stayed had green at the manor, she purposefully gifted her a few expensive plants Eleanor adored them and couldn't stop smiling. As Jonathan entered the manor, he heard a cheerful laugh...
