Chapter 244
The corners of Daphne’s mouth stiffened as she looked at Elara,
Seeing Elara like this, Daphne felt uncomfortable.
However, Elara’s husband was Lysander.
She had married into the Hawthorne family and there was nothing Daphne could do about her.
Daphne told Elara, “You said you wouldn’t hold it against us. But haven’t you always been looking for trouble with us?”
“When?” Elara asked.
“You knew Lacey was from our company, but you still poached her. Haven’t you been keeping an eye on me and Asher…” Daphne asked.
At the mention of this, Elara’s lips twitched.
She did not expect that she could be blamed for this.
“It’s Lacey’s own choice to leave your company. It’s normal to poach people in the workplace. Besides, you don’t take her seriously, do you?” Elara asked.
If they took Lacey seriously, Lacey wouldn’t want to leave.
Daphne chuckled and said magnanimously, “Forget it. I won’t argue with you. I can understand that you feel uncomfortable about me marrying Asher.”
“Pfft…” Elara laughed and said, “Don’t flatter yourself.”
Daphne said to herself, “One day, Lacey won’t be able to survive outside anymore. She will come back.”
Elara knew QuickClip was doing well recently, so Daphne was a little smug.
However, Elara could only say Daphne was too arrogant if she still had this thought.
After Adam’s company’s new app was released, the effect was much better than before.
However, Daphne did not notice this.
Elara said, “Not everyone is willing to endure your anger.”
“Alright,” Daphne said impatiently, “That’s it. I won’t waste any more of your time. Take care.”
With that, she turned around and left.
After she walked away, Elara’s phone rang.
It was a call from Crispin.
Elara picked up the phone and answered, “Hello.”
Crispin said, “Elara, holy shit! I’ve found out about Lizzie. Do you know how she got in?”
“How did she get in?” Elara asked.
“It has something to do with Daphne,” Crispin said, “You won’t be able to imagine what happened”

“Tell me.” Elara talked to him on the phone as she walked inside
Crispin sounded very excited as if he had heard some big news. Lizzie went to jail because of Daphne. Wasn’t she with Daphne before she went in?”
“Yeah,” said Elara.

“In the end, she poisoned Daphne… causing Daphne to be infected with AIDS. Daphne called the police to arrest her,” said Crispin.
This news shocked Elara.
Especially the word AIDS…
It made Elara feel an inexplicable fear.
After a while, Elara said, “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Crispin continued, “She has been collecting her medicine regularly for the past two years…. I have to say Asher must love her so much. At this time, he didn’t leave her and even married her. I heard her previous blind date dumped her because he knew about this.”
After the call with Crispin, Elara went to the dining area.
When she reached the door, she held her phone and chatted with Crispin for a while. She was not in a hurry to enter.
Elara, why aren’t you going in?” Aubrey’s voice sounded from the side.
Elara turned around and saw Aubrey.
He was looking at her with a look of concern.
Elara said, “I’m making a call. You can go in first.”
Seeing Aubrey, she recalled the last time she saw him with a man.
Elara thought it should be a work partner, so she didn’t ask.
Aubrey said, “Okay. I’ll go in first.”
After Aubrey entered, Elara finished her call outside. Knowing that Lysander was about to arrive, she waited at the door.
Lysander came over and saw her here. “Are you waiting for me?
Elara nodded. “Yes, I wanted to wait for you to come over before going in together.”
Lysander looked at her and said, “Why? Did you miss me?”
“You don’t like it? Then I won’t wait for you next time,” said Elara
Lysander held her hand. “Let’s go in.”
Felicity did not only invite them.
Zavala and Evelyn were also there, and Adair too.
After she canceled her engagement with Asher, Adair had been quiet for a while.
She might have been hurt because of Asher.

Chapter 244
Especially since Asher and Daphne got married so grandly.
She was still wondering why she had lost.
Adair was especially quiet today. She sat there and did not participate in everyone’s conversation.

Zavala was chatting with Felicity. Elara sized Felicity up. Perhaps it was because she had not had to serve her husband and child for a while, but she seemed to be in a much better state than before.
When she saw Elara, she took the initiative to greet her. “Elara,”
Elara walked over and sized up Felicity. She had changed her hairstyle and style of dressing.
If there was a shadow of Yessenia in her previously, she had completely become herself.
Elara said, “I haven’t seen you for a while. You’ve become prettier”
Zavala had the same opinion as Elara. “That’s right. I almost didn’t recognize her when I saw her today. She looks like a different person. Wyatt is coming today, right?”
“I asked him,” Felicity said, “I don’t know if he’s coming. He didn’t say it. Forget it if he’s not coming. He’s quite busy.”
In the past, she would have looked forward to it.
But now, she only asked him out of politeness.
Therefore, Felicity did not care if Wyatt came or not.
Zavala looked at Felicity and said, “You and Wyatt can’t keep being like this. His character is quite good. Don’t keep being angry with him. Even if he doesn’t contact you, you have to take the initiative to contact him.”
“Yeah,” Felicity replied.

They chatted for a while. When it was time to eat, everyone sat down.
Not long after they sat down, Wyatt arrived.
When Zavala saw him, she smiled and said, “We thought you weren’t coming.”
Wyatt walked over and his gaze landed on Felicity.
He saw that she had changed her hair and that her long hair had been cut shorter.
She knew that he liked long hair the most.
However, he was quite surprised to see her in such a different state.
Wyatt sat down at the side and said to Felicity, “I was a little busy with work and came a little late.”
Felicity said, “Actually, you can choose not to come.”
When Wyatt heard her words, the corners of his lips twitched. “It’s a family meal. How can I not come?”
He took off his jacket and draped it over the chair.
Felicity looked at this man…

Chapter 244
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but he seemed to have changed.
In the past, she treated him like a bootlicker, but he didn’t take her seriously at all.
Now, she did not want to talk to him anymore.
But his behavior toward her had become much more proactive than before.
However, she had been in a good mood recently, and her condition had improved.
When she saw Wyatt, her attitude was not so cold anymore.
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
When Elara and Lysander came out, they happened to see Felicity.
She was at the door with a man.
Elara could not help but stop and take a few more glances.
Lysander asked, “What are you looking at?”
“That man…” Elara said, “The man who was talking to Felicity, I saw him last time.”
“When?” Lysander asked.
“The last time you went out to eat with me, that person was with Aubrey,” Elara replied.
Elara and Lysander had just finished gossiping when they heard Wyatt say, “What are you two looking at?”
Elara turned around and looked at Wyatt. She said, “Hey, Wyatt.”
