Chapter 1378 Natalie Heard Rachel's Voice
Cara smiled and gave a quick wave.
"Eve, are you mad? It's not what you think," Cara said hurriedly, worried Rachel might get the wrong idea. "It's just... my mom used to work for the Roach family, so I spent a lot of time there. I've known Mr. Roach since I was a kid."
"You don't have to call me Mrs. Roach. Just call me Eve."
"Eve."
Rachel nodded. "So, do you like him?"
"No, no, no. I see Mr. Roach as just a friend," Cara's face flushed a bit. "How could I like Mr. Roach? Eve, don't overthink it."
"Then who do you like? Jeffrey?" Rachel asked casually.
Cara looked down, her ears turning a bit red.
Rachel, feeling a bit bored, chatted with Cara in the lounge for a while. Cara had decided not to join the birthday party outside. Rachel was preoccupied with finding Natalie, and Cara seemed to notice Rachel's distraction. "Eve, you don't have to stay here with me."
Rachel told her, "If Mila gives you any trouble again, come find me. I'll handle her." After saying that, Rachel's eyes dimmed. She might be leaving tonight, and if Cara ran into Mila again, she wouldn't be able to help her.
In the banquet hall...
Kamille held Natalie's hand as they stood on the stage, announcing their new fashion brand, Thread & Theory.
Kamille looked stunning tonight, having changed into a black rose gown that made her appear even more mysterious and elegant.
Rachel stood on the second floor, waiting for the right moment.
At that moment, Natalie slowly walked down, leaving the spotlight to Kamille. Rachel saw her and quickly called out, "Natalie!"
She called out, lifting her dress to go down.
But the surrounding noise was a bit chaotic.
Natalie didn't hear her, so Rachel called out again, "Natalie!"
Natalie paused, vaguely hearing someone calling her.
Just as she was about to turn around, a socialite approached her with a glass of champagne. It was Claribel.
Claribel was dressed conservatively today, with a faint smile on her face. "Hello, Natalie."
Natalie didn't have much interaction with Claribel, but since Claribel greeted her, Natalie returned the gesture with a polite smile.
They exchanged a few words, with Claribel mentioning she was planning to start a film company and asking Natalie for some advice. Natalie answered her questions, and finally, Claribel smiled and said, "Your outfit is nice. Is it from Thread & Theory?"
"Yes, it is."
"Do you think I could pre-order a few pieces from Thread & Theory? I have an event next week."
"Next week? That's a bit tight. Custom orders won't be ready in time, but we have ready-to-wear pieces in the store. As long as we have your size and you like them, it should be fine."
"Great, thank you."
Even though Claribel seemed a bit down, she still stood tall, looking as graceful as a swan.
Untouched by the world.
She glanced around the dazzling banquet hall, filled with elegantly dressed guests.
The voice she thought she heard behind her was gone.
Was she missing Rachel too much?
She could have sworn she heard Rachel's voice here.
Rachel's mouth was covered, and she struggled hard. The dose of the sedative was strong, and she quickly passed out. Two men lifted her and swiftly carried her to a lounge.
