Lauren's reaction was lightning-fast, pressing her ear against my phone.
I was at a loss for words.
Liora's voice rang out from the phone, seemingly carefree. She continued in a cryptic tone, "Surprised, huh? Well, it's not every day I call someone like you." "Indeed! Considering I don't have much rapport with you, Ms. Liora, your call must have ulterior motives. So, spill it. What's the gplan?" I scoffed, dripping with sarcasm. "Haha... How about we meet?" She suggested, takingoff guard once again. This was truly bewildering. What kind of schwas she cooking up? "Meet? There's got to be a reason for that," I casually remarked, and Lauren gavea thumbs up.

"I don't think it's necessary to talk with you. Is your bag of tricks running dry? It can't be, right?" I responded disdainfully.
"Chloe, what about Ardora? Don't you have anything to say?" "I'm not interested." I declared firmly, wondering what gLiora and Melvern were playing. Why did they keep bringing up Ardora? "Don't act so indifferent. After all this time, it's about twe had a face-to-face chat. Who knows, I may have something you want." Liora's tone remained ambiguous.
"I'm not interested in anything you have. Our tastes differ. But if you want to meet, get to the point. Don't beat around the bush." I was genuinely curious about her intentions, and asked, "So, spill. Where shall we meet?" When she heardfinally giving in, she quickly said, "Since you love going to the Vanderberg Palace so much, let's meet there at 11." After that, she hung up.
Lauren stood up, looking at me. "What is she planning?" "I'm curious to discover what's in her bag of tricks. I got to go," I said, glancing at the time.
"I'll cwith you," Lauren said. "I haven't seen Bella for a long time." SEAR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Now that you mention it, it has been a while since I visited the Vanderberg Palace and saw Bella. Let's go. We can head there now," I replied.
Lauren heldback. "Hey, why the rush? The key figure usually makes a late entrance, you know? Don't go too early. It may make her think you're anxious." "I'm not in a hurry. Didn't you say it's been a while since you saw Bella? We can go see her first," I explained. Lauren sighed. "Even if you want to see Bella, it doesn't have to be today. Let her wait. If she takes the initiative to meet you, something must be important. Make her wait!" I glanced at Lauren. "What if she's up to something bad again?" "That's very likely. We need to figure out a way to find evidence against her and Felix Lauren said excitedly. "I wanted to call you when I discovered it last night, but it w too late. I spent the night " Wguessing whether she would cause trouble again, especially with Matthew's case nearing the trial. This woman is absolutely insidious!"

"Could it be connected to Trinity? From what I know, Stella was inseparable from Trinity during that period. Then suddenly, Both of them left Foswood," Lauren said with a serious expression. Lauren's words maderealize I had overlooked this detail. "Do you think Trinity and Stella might have joined forces?" "It's a possibility. Although Trinity
has an unusual relationship with you, it doesn't mean she would reject Stella's advances because of you. But one thing is clear. She's already distanced herself from Stella," Lauren reminded me.
Taking in Lauren's words, I pondered the situation and Liora's sudden request for a meeting.
Suddenly, an idea struck me.
"Let's go to the Vanderberg Palace!" I said, pulling Lauren along.
