Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Jealousy Strikes (4)

In fact, Gan Yuan didn’t wish him to endure the exhaustion of travel, but she also understood his personality and knew that persuasion would be futile.

Therefore, she simply obediently agreed with a "Okay".

After ending the call on her cell phone, Gan Yuan glanced around the hall but didn’t see Moses.

"Moses didn’t come?"

Helen immediately relayed the information she had gathered, "He arrived at the hotel an hour ago, and just sent someone to inform us that he wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be coming to the banquet."

Just moments ago she had been wondering how to handle it if Moses also showed up at the event, and she breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing that he wouldn’t be there tonight.

Gan Yuan handed her cup to Helen and covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned delicately.

"It’s about time, let’s head back to our room!"

After becoming pregnant, she found herself feeling sleepier, and she had been exceptionally busy with work lately, busy every day which inevitably led to some fatigue.

Helen signaled to the bodyguards, and a group of them began to escort Gan Yuan out of the venue. On the side of the event, Annie observed their movements and immediately turned to walk to a secluded area to make a call.

"They’re heading upstairs now, you can get ready!"

After hanging up, she walked over to whisper something to Marquis Smith then quickly left the event to enter the elevator. Once inside, she didn’t press the button for her own floor but went straight for the top floor.

...

...

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and Gan Yuan followed Helen out of the elevator. Just as they returned to their room, a staff member came with a large bouquet of flowers.

"Miss Gan, you have a bouquet of flowers here for you to sign for."

Wrapped inside the white packaging paper was a striking bunch of red Spider Lilies.

"Let me take it," Helen gestured, and a bodyguard immediately extended his hand to take it, using a metal detector for a thorough inspection.

"Who sent it?" Gan Yuan asked.

The floor attendant simply shook his head, "The bouquet was sent here from the front, with a request that it be personally handed to you. I don’t know exactly who sent it."

Gan Yuan smiled and thanked the staff member, then gestured for Helen to tip him, and the attendant thanked them and left.

After turning the flowers over and smelling them to make sure there was nothing unusual, Helen handed the bouquet to Gan Yuan.

Before the Duke left, he had specifically instructed Helen; if a single hair on Gan Yuan’s head was harmed, she and all the bodyguards were as good as dead.

In such critical times, Helen was, of course, exceedingly careful.

Gan Yuan took the bouquet and glanced at it before reaching to remove the card stuck to it, pulling it out of the envelope to read.

"Top floor, within one hour, come alone. I have important matters to discuss with you."

The signature at the bottom of the card was unmistakably Moses’ name.

Gan Yuan’s pupils constricted, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"What’s wrong?" Noticing her expression, Helen asked with concern.

Gan Yuan handed the card to her, and after Helen read the note, her face also grew serious.

"This... are you going to go?"

Gan Yuan didn’t respond.

Helen didn’t know much about the affairs between Gan Yuan and Moses, but she was somewhat aware of their history. Thus, receiving such a card suddenly made it impossible for Helen to judge whether it was genuine or false, or what the sender’s intentions might be.

"This is too dangerous, in case he has ill intentions..." Helen pursed her lips, "Or perhaps, shall I go in your stead?"

Gan Yuan stared at the card in her hand, her gaze resting on that signature.

Good morning, Little Princesses~!~
