Chapter 189
Today, the mask he wore seemed different from the ones Sherry had seen before.
Sherry blinked and took a closer look, confirming her conclusion.
When she was with him, Mr. Sniper wore a simple white mask that fit his facial
contours. But the mask he was wearing now had many embellishments, resembling the
extravagant styles seen at masquerade parties, completely different from before.
However, based on his walking posture and the habitual gesture of touching his cuff,
she confirmed without a doubt that it was him.
“Sophia, is it him?” Nora whispered to Sophia.
David was seated several tables away from the main table. Moreover, the person kept
lowering his head and seemed to be whispering to Mr. Martin. Apart from knowing that
he was wearing a mask, it was almost impossible to see his facial features clearly.
Sophia squinted her eyes, still unable to see clearly. “It seems like him.
Chapter 189 Was It Him Just Now?
“What do you mean ‘seems like? You’ve been with him.” Nora furrowed her brows,
realizing that her words were too explicit. She looked around nervously and held back.
“Take another look; if you can’t see his face, then look at his height or physique. This
young master, why is he wearing a mask for no reason?”
Sophia nodded and affirmed, “I think it’s him. And the young master even invited me to
be his dance partner just now.”
Nora was delighted. “Dance partner? Does that mean there will be a dance party later?”
“After dinner, there should be one. Sophia smiled contentedly, blushing slightly as she
lowered her head. She recalled the intimate whispers and passionate words they
exchanged in the corner of the garden earlier, and her heart was still beating hard.
“No wonder he wore a mask. So there will be a dance party later,” Nora chuckled, her
expression filled with pride. “Sophia, is he wearing a mask to imply that it was him just
now?”
Sophia blushed and said coyly, “Oh, Mom, I don’t know either. When I asked him if he was the young–master of this house just now he didn’t directly answer. He just said!

would know later. How would I know?”
“That’s it!” Nora exclaimed with joy. “Isn’t it obvious? He invited you to be his dance.
partner and came with a masquerade mask. Isn’t that a hint?”
Upon hearing this, David also chimed in, “I think the young master probably knew that
many girls would come today, most of them attracted by his family’s wealth and
influence. By not revealing his true identity to you, he wants to find someone who
genuinely likes him.”
“Exactly! And now he’s wearing a mask, so the other girls can’t see his true face. He
only showed you what he looks like, right?”
Sophia blushed slightly at Nora’s words and said, “Mom, please stop…”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore. Girls are sensitive, and I’m just happy for you.” Nora
didn’t expect the plan to go so smoothly today.
Originally, she just wanted Sophia to make an appearance and clear her name from the
recent scandalous photos. But unexpectedly things took a turn for the better!
She truly couldn’t have imagined this outcome.
However, there was one thing she didn’t mention because David was present.
That is, the dress Sophia was wearing today was originally a gift from the young master
to Sherry. She had suspected that the young master and Sherry knew each other, but
upon further thought, it didn’t seem right. When the assistant delivered the dress, he
referred to it as “Mr. Wilson’s daughter” instead of “Sherry. Moreover, today, he and
Sophia were intimate in a corner of the garden, without mentioning Sherry at all. Sherry
herself claimed not to know the young master. Did this mean that he doesn’t have
much connection with Sherry?
But the assistant seemed to be getting along well with Sherry. Nora couldn’t quite figure out the relationship between them. It seemed illogical.
But it didn’t matter. After all, the assistant was just an assistant. The one with the real decision–making power was the young master. What did it matter if the assistant was close to Sherry? Didn’t the young master himself resist getting intimate with Sophia?
Once Sophia’s relationship with the young master stabilized, she would find an
opportunity to deal with the assistant, who was familiar with Sherry. She would make
him disappear so as not to cause any trouble.
Meanwhile, at the chairman’s seat, a different scene unfolded.
“Mom, Dad,” beneath the white mask, lied a handsome face.
Mr. Martin said with disapproval, Why did it take you so long to come down? Don’t you
know that so many people were waiting for you?”
Mr. Sniper smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t find the mask for a long time. It
took some time.”
Claire blinked. “Nathaniel, why are you wearing a mask today?”
Patrick glared at her. “He must be wearing a mask for a reason. You’re still young, so
you shouldn’t interrupt.”
Claire pouted. “I’m already an adult; I’m not a child anymore!”
Alright, alright, Patrick is right. Your brother must have his reasons, Mrs. Martin
Chapter 109 Was It Him Just Now?
intervened. “Nathaniel, the scars on your face… sigh. You should have had surgery a
long time ago. All these young girls came today just for you. It’s not good to always hide
your face, you know?”
Mr. Sniper’s face showed no special expression as he picked up a piece of vegetable
and handed it to Claire. “Stop eating steak and fries all the time; eat some vegetables.”
“Wow, I don’t want to eat vegetables; they taste like grass… Can I not eat them,
Nathaniel?”
“No,” Mr. Sniper refused straightforwardly. “Children shouldn’t be picky eaters.”
Claire got so angry that she threw her utensils. “I’ve already said that I’m not a child
anymore, and I just don’t like eating vegetables. Vegetables really taste terrible. Mom…”
Mrs. Martin ignored her tantrum and simply said, “Listen to your brother.”
Mr. Sniper glanced at her but didn’t say anything.
It was Mr. Martin who spoke up. “I heard that you had Dylan deliver a dress to a girl
yesterday, Nathaniel?”
