The night went past without any more incidents in Alden manor.
The guards kept tight watch all through the night.
The New Year day might have been ruined by the incident but at least they all survived. That's all that matters right now.
The maids brought out some cakes after dinner at Monica urging.
She was a bit shaken after hearing Nok's betrayal. After all he has been serving her for a very long time.
It was understandable for her to be downhearted for a while. Yet she tried her best to smile at the dinner table.
Elena and Lucius weren't there as they were in the underground checking out the different poisonous powders in different bottles.
So it was just them the family members sitting around the table.
If one looked closely the one that was feeling the most frightened among the group was Jasmine.
She is strong minded person.
But being caught up in all this mass really gave her a scare.
