Chapter 74

In the photo, it was clear that the two people were in love. In contrast, the pictures of Elara and Lysander looked like they hardly knew each other.

They hadn't even confirmed their relationship yet. Moreover, Lysander had always kept a respectful distance in her presence. Sometimes when Elara adjusted her skirt, he would avoid her, steering clear of any hint of impropriety. Staring at the photo, Elara felt genuinely shocked. "How could this happen?"

"Why couldn't it?" Daphne replied, her voice laced with vulnerability as she looked at Elara. "I know he's great, and you want to marry into the Hawthorne family. But Elara, he likes me, not you. So please, stop trying to mess with my boyfriend out of jealousy, okay?" Daphne's words made Jacqueline glance at Elara. "So, you've got nothing to say now, huh?"

Elara picked up her phone and called Lysander, but found that i was turned off. Just moments ago, Daphne had managed to get through. That could only mean one thing. The person who had just spoken to Daphne wasn't Lysander.

Elara couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. Quarry observed Elara's shocked expression and tried to defend her. Jacqueline, Elara probably didn't even know that Lysander was really dating Daphne.

"But this does confirm that she knows him. Since we're all friends here, let's not make things harder for her, okay

Jacqueline replied, "I don't have an issue with her. I barely know her. But Daphne, what do you think? If you're unhappy. I can just kick her out right now

Jacqueline was clearly siding with Daphne.

Daphne looked at Elara's reaction and said to Jacqueline. It's fine, She just likes Lysander. The reason he didn't tell Elara about it is probably to avoid hurting her feelings.

"I didn't expect this misunderstanding to happen. Jacqueline, let's not hold this against her. After all, she seems pretty upset.
