"Why's that?" Eunice asked with a playful smile.

“If there truly is a mole within the Griffith family, they'd be terrified of getting caught if they've been undermining Uncle Bard

behind his back. Rumors have it that Alexander is quite fond of you. Since you spent such a long tthere and suddenly returned,

the mole must be worried that Alexander has shared ssecrets with you.

They're scared you'll spill the beans to Grandpa and Uncle Bard. So, your attendance at the birthday bash is basically bait!"

Eunice's eyes sparkled with admiration and approval.

“Tonight is undoubtedly their best chance to act. Catch whoever takes a swing at you, and we've got our mole!"

Eunice's laughter was as radiant as her beauty, "You're truly my clever niece, thinking layers deep. You're certainly not just any

college kid. Is there something else about you, something your auntie doesn't know?"

“It's nothing much." Arabella played it down, and Eunice didn't pry further, sensing that this girl was sharp and far from ordinary.

“| brought you along because you're clever and quick-witted, ready to adapt on the fly. If things go south and | cant get out in time,

with your skills and smarts, you can still get a message out for me,” Eunice explained with a laugh, "If | brought Serena along, she'd

probably end up in tears."

That's also why she didn't bring Serena.

“And you can guess why | didn't bring your uncle, right?"

“You want to draw the mole out into making a move on you. If Uncle was there, they'd be cautious, maybe too scared to act. So,

you purposely kept Uncle Bard busy elsewhere?"

"Not exactly on purpose.” Eunice's laugh was enigmatic, leaving things unsaid.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I've got this."

Arabella knew tonight's birthday celebration held danger, but she didn't know who exactly might be targeting Grandpa and Uncle

Bard.

Why did it have to cto this within one family.

Thirty minutes later.

They drove up towards the hilltop mansion, which shone like a beacon in the night with its glittering grandeur.

The driveway was lined with dozens of luxury cars, a testament to the wealth and status of the attendees.

The driver opened the door for them and followed, carrying the gifts Eunice had prepared in advance.

In the garden, guests chatted in small groups, enjoying the evening.

Sguests did a double-take upon seeing Eunice.

“How did she get an invite?"

"Lheard Alexander was smitten with her, that she wasn't out of the picture. Seeing her now, it seems true."

“What was Bard thinking, keeping a woman like that around?"

“And letting her cto tonight's birthday soiree."

“How can she be the lady of the Griffith family?"

Arabella overheard their snide comments from a distance and frowned, "These people are so rude."

“You get used to it.” Eunice's stride was confident, her red dress accentuating her commanding presence. She ignored the

murmurs, striding past them into the main building.

The other women felt a pang of irritation. That damn Eunice, treating them like they were invisible.

What was there to be proud of, for a woman who had been toyed with?

Inside the mansion.

Relatives surrounded an elderly man, keeping him chuckling and in high spirits. He looked vigorous, his charm undiminished by

age, a birthday hat placed humorously atop his head.

The driver handed the gifts to Eunice and Arabella, with Eunice stepping forward with a beaming smile to lead the way.
