Chapter 51
“That woman earlier, Ms. Lopez, was it? She was as fat as a pig. I can’t believe she had the guts to come on a blind date.”
“She looked like a dinosaur. It felt like the whole building was about to collapse when she walked.”
“And then there was Ms. Shelton, with her bright red lipstick; she looked like a ghost…”
“So, who’s next?”
“I think it’s the heiress of the Torres family. I heard she just returned after studying abroad…”
“Oh? She must be very open–minded and wild, then.”
“Let’s ask her to dance for us later. If she does a good job, she might just make the cut!” The man burst out laughing.
The men’s foul words made Yvette frown. She understood why those well–mannered women had left so angrily after their blind dates.
This guy wasn’t here for a serious blind date; he had just brought his friends here to have fun.
Yvette was glad that Kiki hadn’t come. Knowing her, she would’ve been upset for quite some time.
The receptionist led Yvette inside. The restaurant was usually elegant and sophisticated. Yet, it now seemed filthy.
The men held several beautiful women in their arms, just to provoke the women who came for the blind dates. When Yvette appeared in front of them, one by one, the men burst into laughter.
“Oh, look, she’s wearing a mask.”
“Is she wearing a mask because she’s ugly?”

Their taunts and jeers were incessant. But Yvette remained unfazed. Her gaze landed on Tristan, who was seated at the head of the table, drinking and playing poker.
She had wondered who had the power to gather all the eligible
women from Tirion for him to choose from. It was none other than the prince of Tirion himself!
If Xavier was the tyrant of Tirion, then Tristan was its prince. After all, one controlled the city’s economy, while the other oversaw the people’s livelihood. More importantly, both of them were very close.
Tristan didn’t look at her, so he didn’t realize that the woman who had shown up this time was Yvette, not Kiki.
The others noticed Yvette’s silence and asked, “Is she a mute?”
Yvette figured that since she had already shown up, Michael probably wouldn’t bother Kiki anymore, so she turned to leave.
But then a drunken man abruptly stood in her way. “Aren’t you here on a blind date with Mr. Shaw, Ms. Torres? How could you leave without showing us your face? Take off that mask!” he demanded, reaching out for it.
The others started jeering, “Let’s see if she’s mute!”
The drunken man did more than just attempt to take her mask off; he wrapped his arms around her and tried to grope her.
Meanwhile, Ray and Zachary were in an SUV outside Plate & Palette. Ray’s forehead creased as he listened to the voice coming through his earpiece. He then told Zachary, “Wait here for me.”
Zachary nodded. “Okay.”
Back inside Plate & Palette, the drunken man yanked Yvette’s mask off and froze when he saw her beautiful face. Then, he became even more brazen and tried to pull at her clothes.
