His Eagle Eyes on Me

Even if she did manage to get close to Hayden, he might not believe that she had overheard such a conversation in the bathroom.

There was a chance that the people who were plotting against him were his relatives, so it was only natural for Hayden to believe his own relatives over a stranger. If Hayden found out that Shelly was a reporter, he might get his bodyguard to throw her out.

Shelly shook her head and thought, "I can't risk getting exposed, nor can I afford to cross Hayden Tate. But then... I don't have the heart to watch as he gets hurt..."

After a few moments of hesitation, she decided to change back into the uniform.

"Poppy, I heard that you have been playing with a lady. Where's she?" The little girl's mother returned to the hall and asked her daughter.

"She said she needs to do something else and left. I don't know where she went." The little girl unlocked her smartwatch to show her mother the photos. "The lady took some photos of me and they look great." The woman glanced at the photos and asked, "Did she do anything else with you apart from taking photos for you?"

"I don't know... We just walked around, I guess."

"I see." The woman did not think much of it.

Someone she knew had told her that Poppy had been playing with a strange woman for over an hour.

Anyone who could enter the hall would be a relative of the Fosters or the Santoses, and since they belonged to Elliot's side of the family, they assumed that the strange woman belonged to the Santoses. When dinner was about to start, Shelly finally spotted Hayden.

He stood under the chandelier, and his cold, elegant demeanor set him apart from the crowd. He stood out wherever he went, and it was almost as if he was the wedding's center of attention. Since Eric could not drink, Hayden had taken his place in entertaining the guests. Since Hayden was constantly surrounded by people, Shelly did not have the chance to approach him. She had written a note and just needed a chance to pass Hayden the note.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

There were ranks amongst waiters, and since the ones who could serve food to the guests were carefully selected, Shelly had no opportunity to get close to Hayden.

She did not know anyone in the hall, so she could not seek another person's help in delivering the note either. All she could do was stand by anxiously.

If she approached Hayden, the bodyguard would pin her to the ground before she had the chance to speak to Hayden.

Hence, Shelly was left with only one option.

The wedding celebration was to last for two days, and most of the guests, which included Elliot and his family, would be staying the night at the hotel. Shelly decided she would need to wait outside Hayden's room to inform him about the plot against him.

Even if Hayden ended up drinking the drugged beverage, he would not fall for the trap if he did not lay his hands on the woman who had planned it.

...

After having a few drinks, someone approached Hayden.

"Hayden, you've been drinking all day, so you must feel sick. Why don't you drink some juice instead?" A

kind older woman walked over to Hayden with her daughter and grabbed a glass of juice from the waiter's tray and handed it to Hayden.

"I'm Eric's aunt, and this is my daughter, Lola. We've all heard so much about you but haven't had the pleasure of meeting you in person. We finally got that chance today, so Lola insisted that we come over and say hi," the older woman said before pushing her daughter forward.

Hayden did not suspect anything of Eric's relatives and took a sip of the juice. "You look young, madam."

"Haha! Yeah! I'm actually the same

age as Eric, so he refuses to call me his aunt," the older woman said. "Lola has always looked up to you. Will you let her sit next to you and maybe learn a thing or two from you? It can be anything! Her father and I aren't that sociable, so Lola grew up a little introverted."
