Chapter 871

"What are you talking about, Bruce?" Yasmine sounded furious. "Who says Nance came here to seduce you? I practically begged her to join me here! You've really changed over the past two years. "No, actually, maybe I was just fooled by your looks. I thought you were a decent guy, but clearly, you're not!" Upon hearing her words, I finally felt a sense of relief. Bruce and I had played our roles seamlessly. We continued the act where the maid had seen him drunkenly flirting with me. It seemed our performance had done the trick. We'd fooled both Ernest and Yasmine. Ernest was already telling the maid to help the "drunken" Bruce, keeping him from following me and causing more trouble. But I didn't let my guard down. I continued to bury my face in Yasmine's shoulder, sniffling for effect. Yasmine gently patted my back. "Don't cry, Nance. I'll take you home. You don't have to stay here and put up with this!" She agreed to take me home, which was exactly what I'd wanted. Harold Residenc
