If he ever found out | wrote him into the script, he'd be over the moon." Grinning mischievously, Beverley said, "Does this CEO have a sister? Con, writeinto the story, too. | can join in on the rescue mission as the CEO's sister." Nodding enthusiastically, Aurelia agreed, "Sure, let's add a sister to the mix." Lisbeth looked up thoughtfully and glanced at them, "Do you think Skyler would be into concocting antidotes, or did you make that part up?" "He's definitely into it," Aurelia replied earnestly. "He's the guy with four PhDs and three Master's degrees. There's no antidote in the world he couldn't whip up." Lisbeth was sparkled with surprise, "Who would have thought he's that brilliant?" Aurelia explained, "Don’t judge a book by its cover. Skyler is like those eccentric geniuses you read about, the ones whose skills are unparalleled. He could outsmart any villain with his wit." Nodding in agreement, Beverley chimed in, "Lisbeth, if you ever run into a tough spot, just go to Skyler. | bet he could help you figure it out." Lisbeth gave a nod, recalling how Skyler, despite his age, would play with the neighborhood kids always like a big kid himself. She had once thought Skyler was a little slow, never guessing he was a genius.

Aurelia made a face, "Would a villain fall for poison that easily? Wouldn't that make him look a bit dumb? He is the boss, after all." Beverley replied, "That's why we've got to make the poisoning super stealthy and clever. It'll keep the audience on the edge of their seats." Aurelia mused, "I'll need to cup with a wicked poison then. Something that works on touch, seeps through the skin, and tortures without killing. That way, he'd have no choice but to hand over the CEO." Lisbeth's eyes gleamed in the sunlight, her gaze deep and inscrutable. "Aurelia, you've got quite the imagination. How did you dream up this story?" she asked.
Aurelia chuckled, revealing a bright smile, "I've watched over two hundred s and read three hundred romance ." "You're amazing," Lisbeth said, the corners of her mouth twitching into a smile, wondering if Aurelia had clairvoyance or had stumbled upon ssecret, sharing this story on purpose.
Beverley laughed, "Aurelia is the world's most creative genius designer. When it comes to writing a script, she's bound to have an endless supply of wild ideas." Sipping her juice, Lisbeth felt uneasy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was thinking, “Aurelia was no ordinary woman. Had she sensed something? Was she dropping hints? Could Aurelia have started suspecting that Raines was an impostor? Or was Aurelia harboring doubts and covertly testing me?” Lisbeth picked up an orange and began to peel it slowly.
Then Beverley asked another question, "Aurelia, have you decided whether the story ends with a tragedy or a happily ever after?" "lI haven't decided yet," Aurelia shrugged, "Of course, I'm rooting for a happy ending, not a fan of tragedies. In repentance there is salvation." Lisbeth trembled her shoulders slightly. The last sentence seemed to hint at her.
She was out in repentance, with no salvation in sight. How was she ever rescued?
