Later that day, a "modest" welcome party began "in a low-key manner" at Carrington's mansion.

Although there were still two days before the wedding day, some friends who had a good relationship and important guests to the Carrington family still arrived early.

This was good news for Peter and Belle.

When there are many people, there are many things, and there are many things, and the people of the Carrington family are naturally more busy. Once they start to get busy, they don't care if someone is doing a scout in their house.

In the afternoon, Peter and Belle split up and searched the east and west wings of the mansion.

After the banquet began, the two of them shrank in an inconspicuous corner, secretly exchanging the harvest of the afternoon.

"Nothing was found," Belle said worriedly, "what about you?" ”

"Found a gun store, but I heard that their family likes hunting and skeet shooting, and those guns should be for fun." Peter said, "But they are really rich, don't you see, in the men's dressing room next to their master bedroom, the cabinet with the watch, is really...... Tsk tsk. ”

"Are you doing your work?" Belle complained, "It's Adam Carrington in question, what are you going to do in the master bedroom?" ”

"How do you know Blake Carrington isn't lying?" Peter asked rhetorically.

"Because Blake didn't tell me anything," Belle said, "I read it out of his head, and he should have known that I could invade thoughts through physical contact, and when he shook hands with me, his mind was full of 'Save us, Adam is going to kill us all,' and that shouldn't be false?" ”

"It's hard to say if it's true or not, but there must be a lot of questions," Peter whispered, "how does he know what you're capable of?" How did he know you would save him? How did he know that Adam was going to kill them all? Since he knows, why can't we ask him directly, but instead look for clues ourselves? ”

"Good question," said Belle, and felt very relieved to have such a teammate, "I can't answer the first three questions, which will have to be clarified through further investigation, but the fourth point, it is obvious, if I were Adam and wanted to kill the family after the wedding, then I would definitely keep an eye on the most threatening person in the family, that is, the resourceful and shrewd father-in-law." ”

"And this kind of surveillance, to the point of pervasiveness," Peter continued, "is impossible to conceal by any means, no matter how covert, except for telepathic active discovery." ”

"That's right, this kind of surveillance can't be done by ordinary people." Belle said, "I know Blake can lie, but a lie can't fool telepathy, but if he can do it, then I'm out of luck." ”

Peter asked, "Didn't you shake hands with Adam?" Didn't you find anything? ”

"Hey, I don't have that penchant for intruding into other people's minds," Belle said, "and to Blake, I did it because he squeezed my hand so hard and had a strange look in his eyes." ”

"That's not a big problem, he's over there anyway, just find a chance to contact him again." Peter took it for granted and said, "This kind of thing won't bother you anyway, right?" ”

The two of them only exchanged briefly, after all, Fallon announced in a high-profile manner that he wanted Belle to be her bridesmaid, and as a bridesmaid, it was naturally not appropriate to hide and whisper, so she had to deal with it a little.

Belle walked into the middle of the crowd and approached Fallon and Adam, who were chatting with the guests.

When Fallon saw her coming, he took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and handed it to Belle.

"I know you're under legal age, but you definitely like this."

Before Belle could take it, Helen came out of nowhere, snatched the champagne glass, and stuffed Belle with a glass of sparkling water that looked very much like champagne.

"We're watching her quit drinking," said Helen, turning to Belle, "I'm keeping an eye on you, don't try to play tricks in front of me." ”

Belle didn't want to play tricks at all, after all, she had a task on her body, and it was inevitable that she would make a mistake when drinking, and it happened that Helen came to relieve her, and she couldn't ask for it.

But as soon as Helen finished speaking, a man took it from her hand.

"It's a pity that you can't drink such a good wine."

As he spoke, he exchanged Champagne for Belle's sparkling water with the exaggerated movements of a theatrical actor.

"You must be Belle, Fallon made a bad decision to find you, everyone knows that if you are looking for a bridesmaid, you must find someone uglier than yourself."

After speaking, he also glanced at Fallon defiantly, and the latter rolled his eyes angrily, but it was not good to attack because of the occasion.

"Can't you just eat something in your room and hide inside?" "This is my banquet, who asked you to come?" ”

"You should be grateful that I'm here," the other party didn't show weakness, "your surname Carrington doesn't understand the essence of banquets at all, and when there is wine and music, you should dance and sing, and it's really boring to think about business before the wedding." ”

He was really qualified to say that, and he looked like a person who was very good at having fun.

He was the only one to wear a V-neck shirt with a leather jacket and ripped jeans and Martin boots in a banquet where all the guests followed a high standard of dress etiquette.

Belle looked at him carefully. He has a Latino face, young, handsome, and even a little flattering.

He had a beard, but it was carefully trimmed, and it didn't look rough at all, but delicate to the point of being contrived.

At the same time, Belle had a hard time ignoring his shaped eyebrows, the foundation on his face, and the bloodshot eyes.

Belle and Helen looked at each other and saw that the other was just as she thought: this man was like a male peacock who hadn't rested well after jumping all night!

In any case, he could have been an invited guest, only a relative of the Carrington family, but it was difficult for everyone to understand, how could the Carrington family have such a relative?

"This is my stepmother's nephew, Sam Flores, and my brother Steven," said Impatiently, "This is my stepmother's nephew, Sam Flores, and my brother Steven...... You know. ”

Belle let out a meaningful "oh".

None of this had anything to do with her anyway, she just wanted to find a chance to get in touch with Adam again.

But she never got her way.

"Hey, guys, this is Fallon's bridesmaid!"

Sam suddenly shouted loudly, as if he had become a blind date host.

I don't know if it was out of courtesy, or because it wasn't too big of a deal to watch the excitement, the guests present did not show any dissatisfaction with Sam's sudden behavior at all, but politely kept smiling, and even applauded.

Seeing that the success had captured everyone's ideas, Sam immediately continued his performance.

"If I were to say, this is the most beautiful bridesmaid I've ever seen," he exaggerated, "and if she were to be dressed in a white dress, I'm afraid our Japanese friends would dump Fallon and take the bridesmaids home." ”

After saying that, he laughed first, and the guests followed suit, anyway, such a joke is harmless, and no one will feel offended by such a joke.

Except for the Carrington family.

Blake Carrington was chatting with someone when he was interrupted by this sudden unexpected.

He forced a smile on his face as he whispered to his second wife, "Take him back to his room, and don't let him mess with me here!" ”

Christy Carrington, the hostess who just married into a wealthy family, is actually not a few years older than her nephew, and obviously doesn't take it too seriously.

Perhaps, she was happy to see it, and she didn't mind seeing Fallon steal the limelight at her wedding by bridesmaids who were more beautiful than her.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Christie said nonchalantly, "Sam is kind, too, and the atmosphere of this banquet is indeed too dreary." ”

One of the parties to the joke, the bride-to-be, Fallon Carrington, was so angry that she would have slapped the damn nephew a few times if it hadn't been for the public eye.

"Don't be angry, dear," Adam grabbed his fiancée's shoulders from behind and said gently, "You know, you are the most beautiful, no matter what, I will not leave you, Sam is just more fun-loving, let him go." ”

The only two people who could break through the situation in front of them were tripped up, and Belle was directly put on the fire.

Fortunately, she is not an ordinary person.

"Well, Sam, thank you for that," Belle said, using her superpowers on Sam, "could you please go outside for a while, I have something to talk to about with Fallon." ”

"We can't wait until tomorrow," Sam said with a laugh, "and don't worry about it tonight, listen to this music, and do a dance." ”

He couldn't help but take Belle's hand, and with the other hand, he grabbed her waist, and he couldn't allow Belle to resist at all, so he jumped up with her directly.

"What's going on?" Belle was shocked, she had no idea that Sam Flores would be able to resist her orders.

For the sake of the plot, most of the main characters are somewhat resistant to Belle's orders, otherwise the story would not have been made up.

But Belle herself knows that those who can resist her orders are all dragons and phoenixes among people, all of whom are resolute and tenacious.

No matter how you look at it, Sam can't be that kind of person.

What's even more unfortunate is that Sam still wears leather gloves, which fundamentally cuts off Belle's opportunity to invade his mind.

In addition to these two abilities, Belle's other superpowers are not suitable for the current situation.

But without superpowers, she's really just an ordinary person, and any healthy adult man can easily subdue her.

For a while, she was helpless, she could only let Sam take her, and she couldn't get rid of it at all.

She looked around and saw Helen surrounded by a group of noblewomen, who kept asking all sorts of questions about the beauty salon.

And Peter, who was still in the corner just now, is nowhere to be found at the moment.

Hernan Alvarez didn't show up at the banquet, and when Belle asked him to help him get Adam away, Adam asked him to check the wedding process and everything that was going on, and he was making the final preparations with the wedding planner.

If a person who can resist Belle's orders suddenly comes out to stir up trouble when she tries to get close to Adam Carlin, it can be explained by chance.

It couldn't be an accident that her people couldn't get out of her when she needed help.

It's all arranged.

However, this arrangement has also exposed a lot of information.

Adam Carrington is likely aware of Belle's abilities and has the ability to take precautions in advance.

And if he was really planning something and knew the true identity of Belle and the others, the best choice was not to invite them.

And they not only invited Belle, but even asked her to be a bridesmaid, which shows that they need her to be present and have confidence that they can handle it.

Judging from the current situation, their confidence is really not groundless.

Adam Carrington is a god opponent.
