Quinn's jaw tightened as he spat out, “You bullied my girlfriend.”
Elyse’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “I don't like Fiona, that’s true. But do you even know why?”

Elyse shrugged, her smile broadening. “You don’t believe me? Well, we just have to wait and see.”
Uncertainty clouded Quinn’s eyes. “Do you even know what you're talking about?”
“Yes. My worry is that the truth might be too much for you, and you could react badly, possibly hurting
someone,” Elyse replied, still smiling.
Quinn shook his head. “That won't happen. | need to know who's lying.”

Elyse responded, puzzled. “Where's Edward? Why isn’t he here?”
“He left about an hour ago, claiming he had a stomachache and needed to go to the hospital,” Geraldine
explained with a shrug. “His acting was unconvincing, though. Only the instructor fell for it and let him go. | think

Elyse nodded in understanding. As the governor's son, Edward might have had an urgent matter to attend to.
However, she was concerned about being allowed back into the Moon Palace alone. Worry was evident on her
face.
Exiting the music hall, she made her way to the entrance, where she encountered Louise. Dressed impeccably in
a tailored suit, a black cloak, and a hat adorned with lace and silk flowers, Louise stood in high-heeled black
shoes, looking down at Elyse with a haughty expression.
Taken aback, Elyse asked, “What are you doing here?”
Louise tilted her chin up, adopting a patronizing tone. “Edward sentto fetch you. He was called away on a
sudden assignment and had to leave by helicopter. He didn’t have tto say goodbye, so he sentto look
after you.”
