Chapter 227
Lysander flipped through the book and looked up at Elara, standing silently at the side.
She had just taken a shower and looked wet.
She was standing there, looking at him in a daze…
Lysander closed the book and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
Elara walked over and sat down beside him, “Oh, just now, I thought you were good–looking, so I was stunned.”
Lysander was at a loss for words at that moment.
After some silence, he said, “Didn’t you say you were sleepy?”
Elara hugged him. “When I saw you just now, I suddenly didn’t feel sleepy anymore.”
Hearing her words, Lysander pressed her down on the sofa and leaned over to kiss her.
Elara looked at Lysander and took the initiative to hug him. “Lysander.”
“I’m here…” He reached out and gently brushed the hair away from her cheek. “What’s up?”
Elara said, “Say you love me.”
“I love you,” Lysander said immediately.
“Pfft…”
“What are you laughing at?” Lysander frowned unhappily.
Elara said, “I didn’t expect you to be so cooperative.”
“Yeah, I’m not like you.” His face was filled with resentment.
Elara kissed his eyebrow. “Alright, I love you too. Is that enough?
“Perfunctory.”
Late at night, the two of them lay on the bed. Elara hugged the pillow and told Lysander about her trip to the countryside that day.
Lysander lay beside her and looked at her quietly.
Whenever she had something interesting about her work, she would share it with him..
She loved sharing with Lysander what she did when she wasn’t by his side.
Lysander listened attentively.
At this moment, Elara’s phone rang.
She took the phone over and Lysander asked, “Who called you this late?”
“The pretty boy I hooked up with while you were gone.” Elara joked. Seeing Lysander’s dark expression, she said honestly,

“It’s Daphne.
“Why would she call you?” Lysander asked.
“I don’t know either.”
Elara pressed the answer button and heard Daphine’s frightened voice on the phone. “Elara, help…
“What happened to you?” Elara found it funny when Daphne called her.
“I’m alone at home now. Someone’s knocking on the door. I dont know anyone else at Starfield City. I can only call you…” said Daphne.
“Where’s Asher? You two aren’t together?”
“He’s on a business trip. He’s not in Starfield City,” Daphne said, “Elara, save me…”
As she spoke, there was another violent knock on the door.
Elara said, “You can call the police. I’m not a police officer. Why are you calling me?”
Daphne said, “It must be Adair’s people. She wants to kill me. If I die, will you be happy? I snatched Asher away, causing you two to break up. If I die, you must feel relieved.”
“Don’t morally kidnap me. I can’t be bothered with your business.” Elara hung up after that.
Lysander looked at her angry expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Daphne said that someone wanted to harm her and asked me to save her. I don’t know what she was thinking. I can’t believe she called me. She said that Asher wasn’t around…”
She did not know how Daphne could be so self–righteous.
Elara realized that Daphne wanted to be related to her now.
Lysander said, “Should we send someone to take a look?”
“I’ll ask her where she lives,” Elara said. Then, she picked up her phone and sent Daphne a message.
Daphne quickly sent her the address.
Elara looked at the address and called the police for Daphne.
She had already done what she could. As for the rest, it had nothing to do with her.

The next night, Lacey made an appointment with Elara for dinner, and Elara went over.
Lacey didn’t expect Elara to agree to eat with her.
But she still asked.
In the end, Elara agreed.
Lacey was happy to see Elara. She greeted Elara. “Hi, Miss Kensington.”
Elara said, “Did you come alone?”

Lacey nodded. “Yes. Daphne hasn’t been in the company recently, so I didn’t call her. Why don’t we send a message now and
call her over?”
“Why should we ask her to come?” Elara asked. “I don’t know her that well.”
“Aren’t you two close?” Lacey was surprised.
Elara nodded, “No.”
“I heard that you were classmates…”
“We’re classmates, but we have a bad relationship. Can you understand if I put it this way? She’s the person I hate the most in our class.”
Lacey looked a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know before.”
“It’s alright,” Elara said, “I came to look for you because I have something to tell you. Don’t worry about her.”
Hearing Elara’s words, Lacey heaved a sigh of relief.
Elara sat next to Lacey, drinking water and sizing her up. “Do you want to come to work at Windmill Video?”
Hearing Elara’s words, Lacey said, “Miss Kensington, are you trying to poach me?”
“Yeah.” Elara didn’t deny it.
Lacey said, “But I remember your father invested in QuickClip. If you poach me like this-”
“My dad is my dad,” Elara said, “I just think that with your ability, you will have a better future if you go to Windmill Video.”
In her previous life, Lacey had made a name for herself in Windmill Video.
Elara poaching her should not be considered going against the development of the matter.
Lacey said, “But I’m doing quite well at QuickClip. I get along well with Mr. Blackwood. He treats me quite well.”
Elara said, “You don’t have to rush to answer me. You can take your time to think about it. Let me know when you want to come.”
Lacey nodded. “Okay.”
When Elara and Lacey were eating, Lacey mentioned Daphne. “Daphne seems to be hospitalized.”
“Hospitalized?” Elara was surprised.
Lacey nodded. “I saw her Instagram.”
As she spoke, she showed her phone to Elara.
Elara remembered that Daphne called her last night…
I had called the police, but why was she still hospitalized?‘ With this question in mind, Elara asked, “What happened to her?”
“I’ll ask.” With that, Lacey quickly asked about what happened and told Elara. After Elara called the police last night, the police went over. Daphne was fine. In the end, early this morning, someone rushed into her house and beat her up.
Tue,
Chapter 227
The people who hit her had already been arrested. They were just some hooligans.
It was obvious that Adair had done this.
Although the method was simple, it was rough and effective.
Adair had always been willful and could not stand people like Daphne the most.
Naturally, she had to vent her anger.
When Asher returned, Daphne was still in the hospital.
She was seriously injured. She had recuperated for a few days, but the wound on her face was still there…
Asher originally thought that this matter was over.
He didn’t expect Adair to find Daphne.
After leaving the hospital, Asher called Adair, but Adair did not answer.
Instead, his mother called.
Asher returned to the Linde family’s house.
As soon as he entered, Dana greeted him. “Asher, you’re back?”
Asher responded.
Edith walked out and looked at Asher. “You’re back? I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?” It was rare for his mother to be concerned about him.
Every time she looked for him, it was probably for something.
Edith questioned, “You broke up with Adair?”
