472 His Help Behind the Scenes
Chapter 472 His Help Behind the Scenes
That kind of elegant, slender script wasn’t easy to pull off. Getting it right took time and patience.
Henry’s impression of Elijah had shifted, and not just a little.
He must have been practicing this since he was a kid.
“Impressive.” He was praising the handwriting, but also the discipline behind it.
Elijah gave a faint smile. “You’re too kind. Old Mr. Campbell, would you like some coffee?”
With just a glance from him, the manager stepped in to prepare it personally.
Henry looked around and spotted the chess set on the stone table. “You play chess?”
“A little,” Elijah said.
They sat down.
“Then let’s have a game,” Henry said.
Good coffee, soft music, and the two of them went back and forth across the board.
It had been a long time since Henry felt this refreshed. “Not bad at all.”
Winona has good taste. This kid’s actually got something, he thought.
“That’s enough for today. We’ll pick this up another time. I should be heading home,” he said.
Elijah didn’t overdo it. He walked him to the door and stopped there. “Come by again sometime.”
He watched the black car disappear into the distance, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
I’ve got to be sitting at least an eighty in his book after today, right?

Winona had no idea Elijah was over there, treating this like some kind of strategy game to win Henry over.
She and Sue had been busy preparing, and three days later, they met Danielle again.
The deep angora red velvet gown looked understated at first glance, but there was something quietly mysterious about it.
Gold hand–embroidered branches and leaves were traced along the skirt. Sue had pulled in three embroiderers to rush it, working nonstop for three days and nights. Every detail felt organic, almost alive.
The layered tulle skirt paired with velvet created a two–in–one illusion, keeping the silhouette light instead of bulky. When Danielle stepped out in it, she looked like something out of a forest, almost otherworldly.
She smiled, clearly pleased. “It’s beautiful. I love it.”
Winona adjusted her styling with a few simple touches and smiled. “Add a pair of gold earrings, and it’ll tie in perfectly with the

Danielle leaned in and gave her a light hug. “Thankyou, both of you. I’m really happy with this. Looks like my friend knew exactly what he was doing.”
Winona had been so caught up in the excitement that day that she completely forgot to ask who had referred Danielle, “Could you tell me the name of the person who sent you our way?”
Danielle gave a small smile. “He’s from the Paynes.”
Winona froze for a beat.
So it’s Elijah.
After seeing Danielle out, Winona lingered on the blocklist screen for a long while, staring at that one name as she weighed whether to unblock him. In the end, she figured it felt a little cold to keep him blocked after he had brought her business.
She unblocked him for exactly one minute. A single period popped up from the other side.
“Thanks for introducing Danielle to me,” Winona texted back.
She kept her eyes on the chat window. The typing indicator stayed on for a full two minutes before he finally sent a reply.
