HIS CANARY (CAGED) 18+

CHAPTER 5

Cara set off late on purpose, so when she arrived at Fin's house, almost everyone had already arrived.

She looked around, but didn't find Maximus, and didn't know if the master hadn't arrived yet, but she quickly found the boring family, and, of course, Tori was holding her ex-fiance Ken.

I don't know if Cara's outfit today is very eye-catching. When she came in from the door, she felt that many eyes in the banquet hall were focused on her.

As she approached, her family members who were gathering around the master and talking also heard the movement and looked this way.

In fact, Cara paid close attention to the reactions of these people, so she saw their expressions when they saw her. Mr. Marchel's attitude towards her didn't change much, with a sullen face, no matter what she became, she was still his unhandy daughter, obstructing his eyes as usual.

As for the step-mother and Tori, their expressions when they saw her were much more complicated.

At first, both of them were stunned, and then they squinted their eyes at the same time, especially Tori. Cara clearly felt that there was a kind of threatening vigilance in her eyes.

And Ken, this calm and prudent man, because he is a doctor, has an extraordinary calmness, but she found that when his eyes fell on her, something trembled slightly in his calm eyes one time. And that gaze stayed on her for a few seconds.

Although he didn't react too aggressively, it can be called a little shock to Ken, who had always been calm and stable.

It's really rare that Ken, who has never put her in his eyes, would lose his composure towards her sometimes. I'm not afraid that Tori will think too much when he sees it.

Tori naturally also noticed Ken's abnormal behaviour, but she didn't say anything, she just glanced at Ken, and this glance was not insignificant, at least it made Ken recover immediately.

Cara didn't pay too much attention, she walked up gracefully to say hello one by one.

Mrs. Fin seemed to have been waiting for her. As soon as she saw her, she eagerly came over and took her hand and said, "Cara, you are here. I was worried that you would not come."

"Aunt Fin specifically told me to come, how dare I not come! It's just that I haven't been to Aunt Fin's house for a long time, so I don't know if Auntie misses me. Cara said something obediently with a smile, and the words brought her and her closer in an instant. Fin's distance.

Mrs. Fin hurriedly said: "I think, of course, I want to. Your mother used to bring you with her every time she came here to play. Auntie can be regarded as watching you grow up, but..." Mrs. Fin couldn't help sighing when she said this, and immediately thinking that this didn't seem too good to discuss this for now, she hurriedly smiled and said, "But it's been a long time, Cara has become more beautiful, and she looks like your mother back then."

Cara immediately said, "Aunt, you're flattering me."

Could it be that the host's enthusiasm for Cara played a role? Many people around also came to say hello to Cara, praising her for her beauty and her beautiful clothes.

As a result, Tori was left out in the cold. It can be seen that today's Tori has also been well-dressed. She is wearing a pink dress, which is exquisite and yet cute. Tori looks very good. In addition, she has undergone some minor adjustments to enter the entertainment industry, making her facial features even more exquisite. .

Tori followed the pure and lovely route when she debuted, so her makeup is mainly light and elegant. Her whole body is like a lily that has just bloomed, exuding a fresh and sweet breath all over her body, and she is an attention-grabbing existence as soon as she stands in the crowd. Before Cara came, many people chatted around her. One reason is that she is the second daughter of the Yan family after all, and the other reason is that she has already made her mark in the entertainment industry. Public figures always make people feel special and concerned.

However, with Cara's arrival, Tori's side became relatively deserted. Tori still maintained a sweet and generous smile on her face, but that smile gradually became a little stiff.

There were a few girls standing beside Tori, whom Cara also knew. These girls were the daughters of some upstarts in the capital recently.

Because of Tori, a few people also disliked Cara, and they were obviously not happy to see Cara now. Seeing Cara's complacent face and talking with others with ease, a few people also had the same hatred.

One of them sneered and said: "How can this kind of person who climbed the tutor's bed in order to get credits have the face to appear here?!"

One of them immediately continued: "Yes, if I were her, I would just hide at home obediently and dare not go out." The voices of several people were not low, and everyone on Cara's side heard it, and everyone looked a little embarrassed. Cara listened to the words, but her expression did not change.

Tori seemed to think that what these people said was too outrageous, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, it is obvious that the mentor has bad conduct and slandered my sister, otherwise why would her uncle's family go to him once and he would immediately admit it. He spread those rumors by himself."

She looked a little angry, and her tone of speech was also very hasty, fully interpreting the image of a good sister who tried her best to protect her sister's reputation.

But Cara is not a fool. The second part of her sentence seems to be mentioned inadvertently, but it's hard to tell what the people who hear it think.

Why must it be mentioned that her uncle went to find the mentor, and why did she immediately admit that she had spread rumors after mentioning that the mentor had been found?

Everyone knew the influence of Cara's uncle in the capital, and when she mentioned this, it inevitably made people feel that the mentor admitted that the rumor was spread by him after being threatened by Uncle.

It seemed that the person who was oppressed was the tutor, and Cara was still the slut who climbed into the tutor's bed in order to get credits. As for her uncle, he was a bully in order to save his niece's reputation.

Look at Tori's way of arguing for her sister wholeheartedly. She is so kind and so nervous for her sister.

As expected of a mistress's daughter, she is really clever.

Cara looked at her with a half-smile and said: "It's really strange, when did my uncle go to find a mentor? I don't even know. Tori, how did you know?"

Tori asked in surprise, "Didn't Uncle go to that tutor? I don't know, I've heard people say it."

Her expression was innocent, like that of an ignorant and innocent child.

Cara rolled her eyes, "So I heard someone say it." She smiled meaningfully and said, "Tori, you recently accepted a play by a big director, right? I heard that you are going to star as the lead actress. You must have gotten this role after crawling on the director's bed, right?"

Tori's complexion darkened, and she said sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She was so anxious that she didn't even care about her image.

Cara also imitated her appearance, opened her big eyes and asked innocently: "Isn't it like this? I heard a lot of people outside talking about it."

Whoever can pretend to be innocent and splash dirty water depends on who splashes it more. Be tough.

Tori was blocked by her, she knew that the stern roar just now was too disrespectful, now she softened her voice and said with aggrieved face: "It's all nonsense from outsiders, sister! Why do you still believe it?"

Cara didn't listen to her at all, just nodded lightly and said, "Oh, so it is."

I have realized that there is such a saying that women inherit their mother's career." Mrs. Fin, who had been silent for a long time, said leisurely, and she looked at her step-mother with a smile on her face, but her tone was full of sarcasm, "Ms , you are really a good teacher. Your daughter is just like you, and the daughter you teach is really better at crawling into someone else's husband's bed."

Everyone could hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Fin's tone, the evil woman naturally knew what she was referring to, she was furious, but she still insisted immediately and replied with a smile: "Mrs. Fin, you are too proud."

However, the others present were confused and did not understand what Mrs. Fin meant when she said that she inherited her mother's nature.

Cara didn't expect Mrs. Fin to be so direct and powerful. She was indeed her mother's best friend during her lifetime. Since her teammates are so powerful, then how can she not add fuel to the flames?

Cara glanced at Ken beside Tori and said: "This Mr. Ken has been engaged to me since childhood, but he got together with my sister for some reason a few days ago. Some time ago, I committed suicide not because I was willful and crazy, but because I was betrayed by my own lover and sister, and I did it in pain and despair."

Many people know that the Ken family and her family have a good relationship, but between Ken and Cara, there is a marriage contract, but few people know about it. I only know that the two have a good relationship because they have known each other since childhood.

The fact that Cara committed suicide because of Ken's betrayal of her, the family deliberately concealed it for the sake of Tori's reputation, only said that she was willful and crazy, and she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself for the sake of gaining attention.

Anyway, her reputation is just that, but Tori is different. She interferes in other people's feelings, snatches away their fiance, and causes others to commit suicide. However, because she is so good and beautiful, many people love her. Willing to provide convenience for her. The eldest daughter of the family who failed to live up to expectations, her reputation has rotted to the dust anyway, and being stepped on again to protect Tori is considered a meritorious deed of hers.

Go f**k the merits. Why should she sacrifice herself to become a stepping stone for others to succeed?

Why can those who hurt her feel so at ease? Want to destroy her? I'm sorry, no matter how you ruined her, she will return it!

Moreover, Cara mentioned that he and Ken had a marriage contract. Just now, everyone thought that Tori and Ken were a match made in heaven. They couldn't be more suitable for each other. Only now did they know that they were together. It's not too glorious to pass by.

As a result, the people around looked at these two people with a little more interest.

Tori really didn't expect that Cara would bring up this matter in public. Although Cara usually likes to flaunt her teeth and flaunt her claws, and plays with her temper when she has nothing to do, she knows that she is a person who is strong on the outside but capable in the middle, and Mr. Marchel had made it clear, he warned her should I say threatened that she should never say it in public.

So Tori never expected Cara's sudden attack.

Facing everyone's meaningful gazes, the always reserved and noble Second Miss of the family started to panic. Her mother didn't know how much she had spent in order to reverse her reputation as a mistress. How heavy the shackles are.

So she didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said to everyone: "No...it's not like this. When I was with Ken, he and my sister had already broken off the engagement. I didn't have any plans to steal my sister's fiance." She held Ken's hand and shook it anxiously, with a pleading expression on her face, "Ken, tell everyone quickly, you had already broken up with my sister at that time, right?"

Ken looked like he was not easy to get close to, but he is actually a gentle and considerate person. She knows that he will not let her be wronged.

Tori's words made everyone focus on Ken, and Cara was no exception. She smiled slightly and looked at this man who once made the original owner mesmerized.

This person who betrayed her regardless of her feelings, even if she committed suicide, he would take a stingy look at her, and she didn't expect him to tell the truth at all.

Goodbye to Tori's pitiful appearance, with tears in her eyes that are about to fall. It is really pitiful.

Such a delicate and pitiful beauty waiting to be loved by others, I am afraid that any man will take pity on her.

Ken lowered his head, it's not that he was avoiding everyone's gaze, he likes to think very much, so slightly lowering his head is his habitual action.

It took a while for him to raise his head. He didn't seem to be afraid of other people's strange stares, his face was very calm, and his gaze fell on Cara somehow.

Then Cara curled her lips into a slight smile, and slowly looked away.

However, the contempt and disdain at the corners of her eyes could not escape Ken's eyes.

She didn't seem to care about his answer, she suddenly had a kind of absolute self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence could make her not afraid of anything, whether he would defend Tori and today's lie seemed to have nothing to do with her.

For some reason, he felt that her eyes were particularly dazzling.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his usual cold voice: "I was the one who was sorry for Cara first. I betrayed her."

Tori was stunned by this answer, and even Cara didn't expect Ken would answer like this.

If he said this, he would admit it in disguise. He was the one who betrayed Cara, so he naturally admitted the fact that Tori ruined other people's feelings.

Tori's eyes widened with disbelief.

However, Ken bowed respectfully to everyone, "I'm sorry if I make everyone unhappy." After he finished speaking, he pulled Tori and left directly.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Cara couldn't help but narrow her eyes. What is Ken thinking? Didn't he pity her sister Tori so much? Aren't you afraid of hurting Tori's heart by saying that?

Cara thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but sneer.

The evil step-mother could bear it, even if she was stabbed severely by Mrs. Fin, even if Tori lost such a big face, she still kept a generous and kind smile on her face.

But she saw her walking up to Mrs. Fin with a glass of red wine, and said with a smile: "Cara and Tori are ignorant, I'm here to apologize to Mrs. Fin."

Cara frowned when she heard this. Her daughter was ashamed, she just wanted to make amends to her daughter. Why did she bring her along? It sounded like Cara was making trouble for no reason just now.

Cara was upset, and was about to turn back, but Mrs. Fin didn't want to accept the toast, but she just glanced at the ugly woman coldly, and then said with a mocking smile: "Cara's mother would bring my favorite wine to me from time to time, and we would always sit on the balcony in the backyard of my house for an entire afternoon. Cara's mother and I are best friends, but who are you??!"

While being polite, no doubt she slapped the evil woman hard on the face. No matter how hard she could bear that expression, she couldn't hold back her expression, and Mr. Marchel's expression on the side was also ugly. It was just a matter between women, and it was really not easy for him to intervene as a man.

Mr. Fin probably also felt that his wife's words were too hurtful, so he hurried over to apologize for his wife, and then changed the topic wittily, trying to ease the atmosphere.

The evil woman looked devastated but tried her best to maintain her generous and friendly appearance. Cara saw it in her eyes and felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

I don't know if the original owner's mother will feel relieved.

Of course, she will let them relieve their hatred more and more in the future.

At this time, on the second floor of Fin's house, there was a large black shadow in a corner that no one could see.

The tall figure stood in the shadows, his sharp and icy eyes penetrated the darkness, watching everything that happened downstairs.

He didn't come out of the darkness until the dramatic scene downstairs ended.

A male servant from Mr. Fin's house downstairs whispered something in his ear. Mr. Fin was shocked for an instant, and turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw the tall figure walking down the stairs with elegant steps and unhurried steps.

Mr. Fin didn't have time to think about it and rushed to meet him. Everyone naturally noticed Mr. Fin's abnormality, and they couldn't help turning their eyes to the figure who was slowly going downstairs.

Cara is no exception.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, when she actually saw this person, she didn't expect that she would still feel nervous because of fear.

Maximus King IS HERE. She never expected that she would meet him again after a lifetime of separation.
