Elsie smiled shyly. “I don’t know what it is about him, but when I’m with him, I feel so happy, even if we’re not doing anything at all. My heart just feels incredibly sweet.”
Isabelle looked at Elsie’s expression, clearly smitten like a young girl in spring, and tutted. “I can tell. You’re definitely a woman in the throes of new love. That look, that intelligence level… sigh can say is, good luck to you.”
Lilian chuckled. “Alright, we know you and Cameron are in the honeymoon phase, so you don’t need to flaunt your affection in front of us. As for hiding your relationship, since you’re treating us to such a sincere lunch, we’ll let it go. But as your close friends, we still hope you’ll be happy and won’t get hurt.”
Elsie nodded. “I know you two worry about me getting hurt, and I know Cameron can be a bit unreliable. But don’t worry, I, Elsie, can pick it up, and I can put it down. I won’t let myself become desperate for love. So, if that day ever comes, I’ll turn and walk away from his life with my head held high.”
Isabelle couldn’t help but applaud. “That’s the Elsie I know–you’ve got backbone! Hearing you say that puts our minds at ease. But if he ever dares to bully you, relax, we’ve got your back. We’ll definitely torment him until he doesn’t know which way is up.”

Lilian agreed with a smile. “Exactly. I’ll be the first person to deal with him.”
Elsie looked at the two with a sly smile. “You don’t need to worry about me too much. I have plenty of ways to handle a guy like Cameron. Maybe, in the end, he’ll be chasing me, begging me to marry him.”
“Great,” Lilian said with a laugh. “If that day truly comes, I’ll give you a huge gift to celebrate you taking down that menace.”
Following that, the three of them laughed together.
Just then, a notification sound went off.
Lilian picked up her phone and opened the message. A photograph appeared on the screen, showing a white–haired elderly man lying quietly on a bed in a space less than five square meters.
When Lilian clearly saw the man’s face, she instantly stood up, staring at the figure in shock.
Elsie and Isabelle exchanged confused glances and looked at Lilian. They had know for a long time but had never seen such a panicked expression on her face.
Immediately afterward, the phone rang.
Lilian quickly answered the call.
A cold, sinister male voice came through the speaker. “Did you see the photo? Isn’t that a lovely surprise?”
Lilian said coldly, “Who are you?”
Gray sneered. “Who I am isn’t important. What is important is that our boss wants to meet you. So, please be good enough to come with us.”

“What if I refuse?” Lilian asked in a cold voice.
