After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 189

Lysander spoke, "Someone you don't know is probably here because of Jack."

Elara looked at Lysander, and as soon as she heard Jack's name, she was instantly wide awake. "Is this trouble for you?"

"He wants to meet me for dinner tomorrow," Lysander replied, pulling her close. "Nothing serious, don't worry about it."

Elara couldn't help but care about what others said, especially since Natalie had mentioned it.

The next evening, when Lysander went to meet Sully, he brought Elara along. The meeting location was chosen by Sully. It was Harold's estate hotel.

In the private room, Sully saw Lysander and walked over. "Mr. Hawthorne, hello."

Sully was wearing glasses and looked scholarly, with an air of elegance. He extended his hand to shake Lysander's. Lysander gazed at him and remarked, "Mr. Myerson, you really know how to pick a spot. Inviting me all the way here." "This place is familiar to me," Sully explained. "I know Mr. Jarvis here. I come by sometimes."

Upon mentioning Jarvis, he turned his attention to Elara, who was standing next to Lysander. "Ms. Kensington, hello."

Elara asked, "You know Uncle Harold?"

"Yes," Sully replied. "We've had dealings, but our relationship is fairly casual. I'm not one for mingling much. Please, have a

seat."

He gestured toward the chairs and sat down first. Elara followed Lysander and sat down beside him.

Lysander observed Sully and said, "Mr. Myerson, I've heard that you're known for never leaving room for negotiation. Many of the powerful people in Starfield City have had a hard time with you."

At the mention of this, Sully didn't deny it. "It's simply part of the job, doing what I can to contribute to society."

Sully's position in Starfield City wasn't particularly high, but even the most influential people feared crossing someone like him someone who hadn't been promoted in years and refused to bend. They feared drawing his attention.

On top of that, he had the backing of his father-in-law. Most people were too afraid to make a move against him, which led to a strange situation: everyone disliked him intensely but couldn't get rid of him.

Rumor had it that even Wyatt avoided angering Sully. Anyone else was even less likely to stir up trouble with him.
