Capítulo 164: Bridging Guilt with Chance  

[EVE]

"I'm fine, Daniel and Riri. You don't have to worry," I reassured them with a smile.

To avoid any unnecessary drama or pestering by the media, my kidnapping incident had been kept under wraps.

Zen, and the rest of my bodyguards spun a tale that I had a sudden stomach cramp and had to be rushed to the hospital.

"It must've been those cupcakes," Riri whispered conspiratorially, narrowing her eyes at Lily's group across the room. "I bet they poisoned them."

I stifled a laugh, shaking my head. "Don't be ridiculous. If that were true, wouldn't you be sick too?"

Riri grinned mischievously, sticking her tongue out and playfully twirling her hand in the air. "Oh, I've got an iron stomach. Poison wouldn't stand a chance against me."
