Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 427

"I'm Belinda. I'm very sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

The woman, Belinda, stepped into the center of the hall and introduced herself.

Guests gradually began drifting toward her. And the closer Vespera got, the more something about her felt off.

Belinda was stunning. She had high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and plump lips. Her skin was perfect. Her beauty was so flawless that she didn't seem human.

Her pale skin had no pores, and her smile was too stiff. With her perfect looks, she seemed uncanny.

Dominic and Vespera weren't the only ones who noticed. The other guests noticed it too. The castle was already mysterious and eerie enough. Now, a female owner showed up.

Some guests frowned, some had a shift in expression, and some were frightened, but most were calm and composed, as if they didn't sense anything off.

After all, they knew where they were and what their motives were. Naturally, they had prepared themselves to face anything strange.

Vespera looked ahead and muttered under her breath, "Belinda means beautiful serpent. It suits her well."

Behind her, Dominice leaned down, close enough for his breath to brush her ear as he murmured, "Perhaps she might even shed her skin."

Shed skin? The image alone made Vespera's skin crawl.

Meanwhile, across the hall, Belinda's gaze slid across the crowd and landed on Dominic. She didn't openly stare, but her gaze returned to him again and again. If one weren't paying attention, one might miss it. However, Vespera didn't miss it.

Vespera glanced sideways at Dominic. She thought, "Does Belinda like him? He seriously attracts everyone."

Gerard couldn't help but hug Calvert's arm. That woman looked like a ghost. Why were they sitting this close?

Calvert pulled Gerard down into the seat beside him and pried his fingers off. He comforted, "Gerard, relax. There's nothing dangerous about her. That isn't her real skin, that's all."

When Gerard heard there was nothing dangerous, he let out a sigh of relief. But in the next second, his face went pale. What the hell did Calvert mean by that was all?

On the other hand, Evelyn and Vance took their seats directly opposite Dominic. Clearly, they were bold as well.

Once everyone had settled in, Belinda took a seat in the center. She said, "I've arranged for you to try some of the island's local delicacies. I hope they suit your taste."

With that, she gestured to the steward at her side to start serving the dishes.
