Chapter 853
He could hold out against Mia, but not Scarlett. With a sigh of resignation, Steven picked up the giant bag of food
and trudged over to the barbecue grill.
Mia followed him to help out, while Scarlett and Sarah chatted nearby.
After a while, Mia got bored and wandered off around the island. Most of the celebrities at the party were people
she'd met before. Honestly, she found it kind of boring. On her own birthday, those sstars had practically
trampled each other just to show up and bring her gifts-half of which she didn't even want.
The fans at this event were all desperate to get a single signed photo, while the storage room at the Reynolds
estate was overflowing with autographed pictures. Speople had gone to ridiculous lengths just to get a
selfie with her.
So, yeah-this party? Pretty boring. Apart from the food.
Luckily, she'd asked Sarah to prep a private grill station just for her before the event. Knowing that the best
chefs in East Coast were here tonight, she fully intended to take advantage.
So once again, after a round of pouting and fake tears, Steven ended up doing all the heavy lifting at a party—
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecause, well, Scarlett wanted barbecue too.
While Steven manned the grill, Mia couldn't resist sneaking off again to explore. It was her first ton the
island, after all.
She'd heard that Sarah had opened an insanely popular "Emotional Release Center" here, so she ran off to check
it out. Sure enough, a long line had already formed at the entrance.
She plopped down to the side, groaning and stomping her foot. "Ugh, so many people!"
Just then, she spotted someone slipping around the corner-hat, sunglasses, and a mask, bundled up like they
were hiding from the world.
That was weird.
Mia frowned, thinking for a second. Of course she knew about the unspoken feud between Sarah and Vivian
Vivian was always pulling Shady tricks behind the scenes. And at a party like this, people usually wanted the
cameras on them. No one would show up dressed like that unless they had something to hide. s
That had to be one of Vivian's people.
Without hesitation, Mia jumped to her feet and quietly followed the stranger.
The Emotional Release Center was a four-story building just a short walk from the hotel, Behind it was a small
garden—a space Sarah had added so guests could cool off after releasing their emotions inside. s
Mia followed the mysterious figure into the garden, watching them skulk around
like they were up to something. She stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The person froze, clearly not expecting anyone to follow him instead of going to the party.
He straightened up. "I'm lost."
"Liar!" Mia snapped, hands on her hips. She glanced around, trying to find something she could use in case
things got dangerous. What if this person was planning to hurt someone?
The man looked completely confused. "What are you talking about?"
He took a step toward her.
Mia immediately shrieked, "Stop! One more step and I'm calling the cops! What are you trying to sabotage?"
The man paused, then let out a long
sigh. "Miss, I'm just here for the
party. | heard there's a really famous Emotional Release Center on Pine Mist island, so | cto check it out |
didn't think I'd get lost."
s
"You're lying!" Mia narrowed her eyes. "If you were really here for the party, how
could you possibly get lost? There are signs everywhere!"
