Chapter 356

While Lyman and Vinson Elliott were deep in conversation, Nita leaned in close to Effie and whispered, "Earlier today, when I went to meet a client, I suddenly spotted Vera and Suzan slipping into this really unusual store. I got curious and followed them inside."

Effie's eyes flickered with suspicion. What kind of place could make Nita so hesitant to even speak its name?

Lyman's tone was gentle. "Is everything alright?"

Effie forced a bright smile and shook her head. "It's nothing. Nita just dropped a bit of gossip on me, and I need a moment to process it."

Nita caught Lyman's gaze and offered him an embarrassed smile before turning back to Effie.
