After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 49

Elara said to Lysander, "I haven't seen Uncle Harold in a long time. He doesn't know anything about my situation. Don't take it in your heart."

"Okay," Lysander replied as his phone rang. He glanced at the screen but didn't pick up, instead declining the call immediately.

"Is something going on?" Elara asked, remembering that he must have had a reason for coming here.

"It's nothing important," Lysander said.

Elara looked a little worried. "Are you sure it's not serious?"

Lysander looked at her and said, "I just arrived in Starfield City, what could be important? It's just the usual eating and drinking with the elders, so boring. It's much more peaceful here,"

He was always someone who enjoyed quiet. Whenever he went out with Elara, he'd often have places cleared out, just so they could enjoy some peace and quiet.

Not long after, a waiter approached and said to Lysander, "Mr. Hawthorne, our boss is asking for you."

"Your boss?" Lysander was puzzled.

"Yes, Mr. Jarvis, the one who just stepped out," he explained.

If it had been anyone else, Lysander wouldn't have cared. But Harold was Elara's uncle.

In the banquet hall in the next room, the waitstaff were trembling.

Aubrey Hawthorne stood in front of an expensive vase. "This one looks pricey, doesn't it?"

"Don't," Harold tried to stop him. With a loud crash, the vase shattered on the ground.

"This brat! I went through so much trouble to collect these antiques, and he's just smashing them to pieces. And he always breaks several! Such a naughty boy!' Harold thought bitterly, feeling his heart bleed. But since Aubrey was someone from the Hawthorne family, Harold had no choice but to tolerate it.

Aubrey stood nearby, snorting coldly at Harold. "You'd better really know where Lysander is. If he goes missing, you'll regret it."

"How could he possibly be missing? He's at our estate, perfectly safe," Harold replied.

'Lysander doesn't show up! It's not my fault. Just because he isn't coming, Aubrey's smashing up all my antiques! He's being so unreasonable!' Harold thought to himself.
