After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 71

Upon hearing them mention Lysander, Elara cleared her throat softly. Quarry noticed her and politely greeted her. "HL Elara, you're back."

Elara touched her nose and sat down in her seat. "I just overheard you talking about Lysander's girlfriend?" she asked.

'Has my relationship with Lysander been exposed so quickly? I haven't told anyone, have I?' she wondered.

Cynthia looked at Elara with curiosity. "You know Lysander too!

They had previously gotten along quite well. Both came from Starfield City and had a bit of money, but they weren't close enough to Elara to think much of it.

Elara thought to herself, 'Oh, I know him very well. She nodded and replied. "T've heard of him."

Quarry continued, "I heard he's pretty handsome and treats his girlfriend extremely well. He even gives her a heads-up and ensures she's protected from any bullying. She's so lucky to be with such a great guy. I mean, he's from the Hawthorne family!"

Even though they all had a bit of money, the Hawthorne family was still a prestigious name they could hardly aspire to reach. Hearing others say such things about Lysander made Elara feel a little pleased

She recalled how foolish she had been before her time travel, giving up her bright future for Asher.

Cynthia asked, "Why did you suddenly bring him up

Quarry replied. "Because someone told me about her identity."

Elara felt a jolt of anxiety. Since joining the school, she had never mentioned anything about her relationship with Lysander

to anyone.

She wanted to keep a low profile and avoid any trouble. After finally changing schools, she just wanted to focus on finishing her college education. "But who is out there spilling my secrets?" she wondered. "Who?" Cynthia asked, intrigued by Quarry's statement.

Seeing that they were asking to this extent. Elara decided it was better to come clean than to let Quarry reveal it first. She raised her hand timidly and said, "Actually, I'm Lysander's girlfriend." Although she and Lysander hadn't officially acknowledged it, she had met his parents, who had no objections to her. Calling herself his girlfriend didn't seem unreasonable.

As soon as she finished speaking. Quarry looked at her and pushed her raised hand back down. "Actually, my boyfriend is

Setting down her cup, she picked up her phone and zoomed in on the photo. What the heck? Isn't that Daphne? She's Lysander's girlfriend? Surely, Lysander wouldn't even know how to spell her name!' she wondered.
