Chapter 320

Chapter 320 Yuna glanced back at Elysia before shifting her gaze to Zane, who stood not far away. “Ms. Rosewood, if you need anything, just call me.”

With that, Yuna pried Phoebe’s hand off her arm and walked away without hesitation.

40 “Yuna, you- Phoebe felt a surge of displeasure, instantly realizing that Yuna’s actions were a deliberate attempt to distance herself.

Watching Yuna’s cold and indifferent back, Phoebe pursed her lips. ‘Forget it. Since you’re not staying here to be a third wheel, I won’t hold it against you, she wondered.

Yuna has always been as cold as ice. If she ever tried to get close to me, now that would be something unheard of. she thought.

Having come to terms with this, Phoebe quickened her pace to catch up with Yuna.

Even though Phoebe had decided to let it slide, she still could not help but nitpick. ‘If Ms. Rosewood needs anything, just call her? That sounded way too off, she wondered.

Phoebe had a strange feeling that Yuna was just seconds away from charging at Zane and engaging in an all–out battle. She needed to help Elysia avoid unnecessary risks.

Elysia still had a long road ahead in the dating department, and with Yuna acting like this, she would ruin all of Elysia’s chances.

‘For the sake of Elysia’s future carefree life, I need to take precautions. I can’t let Yuna kill off her love life before it even begins, Phoebe wondered.

Determined, Phoebe moved closer to Yuna, even softening her tone to show sincerity. “Yuna, in the future, don’t be the kind of person who interferes with Elysia and her boyfr-”

‘Wait? Just referring boyfriend seems too limiting. It should be male friends. And I mean good–looking male friends,‘ she wondered.

With that thought in mind, Phoebe gave herself a knowing nod before continuing, “In the future, don’t go around intimidating Elysia’s good–looking male friends. They’re just having romantic moments, not getting into fights. No need for you to step in Yuna raised an eyebrow, seriously doubting whether Phoebe was deliberately tarnishing Elysia’s reputation.

‘Ms. Rosewood is such a principled person. Phoebe sounds as if Ms. Rosewood would start a romance with every good- looking guy she meets,’ thought Yuna.

“Phoebe, watch your words,” Yuna said.

Phoebe was momentarily stunned.

Their conversation was loud enough for Elysia to hear. Watching Phoebe’s back, Elysia could not help but think she was getting more ridiculous by the day.

As she turned around, she noticed that Zane was still looking in her direction. Regaining her composure, she strode towa him.

“Zane, why are you still here?”

“Elysia, are you trying to kick me out?” Zane’s voice was deep, yet his eyes remained fixed on her, a faint smile playing at his lips.

“Pretty much,” Elysia replied.

“Pretty much means not really,” Zane countered.

40 Chapter 320 Elysia mentally sighed. ‘Since when did Zane become so tricky?

“Elysia, Ljust got here, and I haven’t even had a cup of coffee yet.” Zane said.

“So, if you have your coffee, you’ll leave?” Elysia asked.

“Not necessarily. Elysia, wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be. Or, you could always move to Royal Bay, Zane said.

He had brought this up before, but with Fabian’s arrival, the plan had been put on hold.

For a moment, Elysia hesitated and wondered. Was my decision back then the right one?

“Royal Bay is close to campus. It’ll be more convenient for you to get to school,” Zane added. “That way, we can see each other all the time.”

Elysia was convinced that was his real motive. Ever since he had said those words, he had stopped holding back even a little.

“Zane, I think you’re right. I’m still young, so maybe you should cut back on saying things like this in the future.” Without waiting for his response, she turned around and walked straight inside.

Zane watched her retreating figure, the smile in his eyes tinged with a rare softness.

“Elysia, I will head out now. I will pick you up for school tomorrow.” Leaving those words behind, he got up and left.

Elysia was momentarily stunned; she had not expected him to say that.

The drive from Royal Bay to here would take quite some time.

Realizing this, she quickly stuck her head out to look, but by then, Zane was already gone.

-Jeremy had already left the café, and Fabian remained seated. His upright posture carried an air of authority, and the atmosphere around him grew noticeably heavy.

“Mr. Evans, it turns out Mr. Murphy only brought you into that long conversation for Mr. Hartley. That would have been fine, but the topic had absolutely nothing to do with the western district land,” Joel said.

Fabian took a sip of his coffee, unhurried. “The more he does this, the more he is helping me.”

Joel could not quite grasp the meaning behind those words. Just as he was about to ask, Fabian continued, “Send word to the Murphy Family. Embellish tonight’s events, and make sure to throw in the words ‘western district land‘ while you are at it.”

“Understood, Mr. Evans,” Joel replied.

Fabian glanced at his watch. “It is about time we head back.”

“Mr. Evans, Ms. Evans is currently at Arcanum House. So, should we-” Joel started.

“Wherever Elysia is, that is where we will go. Also, have you handled what I assigned you?” Fabian asked.

Joel immediately understood what he was referring to and handed over the tablet. “It was taken care of this afternoon. only temporarily put on hold due to the discussion with Mr. Murphy.”

“From now on, no matter what happens, Elysia comes first,” Fabian said.

Joel was puzzled. He did not understand what a building had to do with Elysia.

Then, as if something clicked in his mind, he quickly asked, “Mr. Evans, is this building for Ms. Evans?”

2/3 Chapter 320 40 “Did you think I was building it just for fun?” Fabian said. “It is a gift for Elysia. Make sure you keep an eye on this matter and do not let anything go wrong.”

Joel was taken aback. ‘Mr. Evans truly spoils Ms. Evans. He must have noticed that all the places where she had lived carried a touch of elegance, so he decided to construct a similar residence in his own estate, he wondered, Joel had always thought Fabian was cold and emotionless, but unexpectedly, he was quite meticulous.

When Fabian received no response for a while, he frowned. “Huh?”

Joel snapped back to reality and quickly said, “Understood, Mr. Evans. You can rest assured,”

Meanwhile, Jeremy was feeling quite pleased with himself and even called Zane to claim credit.

The moment the call connected, his cheerful voice came through the receiver. “Zane, I went to great lengths for you.

“I managed to keep Fabian occupied until now, so do not forget what you promised me.”

Zane raised an eyebrow, a flicker of doubt crossing his mind. ‘Jeremy is really capable of holding Fabian up for this long?‘ he wondered.

Shaking his head, Zane felt something was off.

“How exactly did you manage to keep Fabian busy?” Zane asked.

“Curious, are you?” Jeremy said smugly. “Alright, I will let you in on it. It was actually quite simple. I just scheduled our meeting at a place that was a little farther away than usual.”
