Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 1757 Prepared A Trap



Countess Kerr started talking to Huo Yao enthusiastically.

Most of the time, Countess Kerr did all the talking and Huo Yao simply listened quietly.

Countess Kerr did not know what Huo Yao was doing at a banquet like this.

After a while, Huo Yao yawned gently and put down the glass in her hand nonchalantly. She decided to pretend that she needed the bathroom.

A waiter holding a tray of alcohol walked past them. He lost his balance somehow and suddenly lunged toward Huo Yao. The tray of drinks in his hands flew out from the momentum.

In an instant, a few glasses of juice and red wine came flying toward Huo Yao and Countess Kerr.

Huo Yao detected this and moved slightly, wanting to pull Countess Kerr aside as well.

When she caught the waiter casting a knowing glance at Countess Kerr, she suddenly put down her hand.

Huo Yao did not dodge the drinks. She acted as though she was unable to avoid them in time and let the drinks scatter on her dress.

As the glasses crashed to the ground, they broke crisply.

The commotion attracted everyone's attention, so they turned to look in unison.

Huo Yulin also caught the scene. His eyes turned dark as he strode toward Huo Yao.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I didn't mean to…" The waiter steadied himself and apologized immediately in fear.

Countess Kerr lowered her eyes glancing at her clothes and looked at Huo Yao's damp dress. She promptly frowned and reprimanded. "How could you be so careless?"

Countess Kerr was already standing close to Huo Yao, so her clothes had unavoidably gotten wet. Since she was wearing a light-colored gown, the stains were particularly obvious.

"I'm sorry." The waiter trembled as he apologized repeatedly without daring to make any excuses.

Huo Yulin had already come over. He placed his hands on Huo Yao's shoulders and checked her up and down. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Some wine got onto my dress." Huo Yao shrugged with her hands up.

When Countess Kerr saw Huo Yulin suddenly walk over, she was stunned. She finally noticed the pin on Huo Yao's chest.

Was she from the Huo family?

What was her husband trying to do? How could he touch someone from the family?

Countess Kerr hesitated with her eyes glinting.

However, she quickly calmed down. She looked at them apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry. I will get someone to show you upstairs and clean up."

Huo Yao raised her brow.

They had finally gotten to the main event of the day.

Huo Yao tutted inwardly and said to Countess Kerr, "Appreciate it."

Countess Kerr shook her head and replied politely. "It's no trouble at all. My staff shouldn't have been so careless."

She gestured at the maid for her to come over.

Huo Yao glanced at Huo Yulin and said with a calm expression on her face, "Brother Yulin, I'll be right back."

Huo Yulin paused briefly before he let go of his hand. "Okay."

Before long, the maid showed Huo Yao upstairs to the second floor.

There were a lot of rooms on the second floor. The maid showed Huo Yao to the room right at the end of the corridor.

After entering the room, the maid bowed. "Please wait here first while I get you another dress to wear."

She quickly left the room before Huo Yao could answer her.

The door clicked shut as it closed.

Huo Yao raised her brow. She glanced around the room until her eyes stopped at the window.

She walked over and reached her hand out to open the curtain.

Sure enough, the window was locked dead and impossible to open.
