After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander)

Chapter 71

Upon hearing them mention Lysander, Elara cleared her throat softly. Quarry noticed her and politely greeted her. "HL Elara, you're back."

Elara touched her nose and sat down in her seat. "I just overheard you talking about Lysander's girlfriend?" she asked.

'Has my relationship with Lysander been exposed so quickly? I haven't told anyone, have I?' she wondered.

Cynthia looked at Elara with curiosity. "You know Lysander too!

They had previously gotten along quite well. Both came from Starfield City and had a bit of money, but they weren't close enough to Elara to think much of it.

Elara thought to herself, 'Oh, I know him very well. She nodded and replied. "T've heard of him."

Quarry continued, "I heard he's pretty handsome and treats his girlfriend extremely well. He even gives her a heads-up and ensures she's protected from any bullying. She's so lucky to be with such a great guy. I mean, he's from the Hawthorne family!"

Even though they all had a bit of money, the Hawthorne family was still a prestigious name they could hardly aspire to reach. Hearing others say such things about Lysander made Elara feel a little pleased

She recalled how foolish she had been before her time travel, giving up her bright future for Asher.

Cynthia asked, "Why did you suddenly bring him up

Quarry replied. "Because someone told me about her identity."

Elara felt a jolt of anxiety. Since joining the school, she had never mentioned anything about her relationship with Lysander

to anyone.

She wanted to keep a low profile and avoid any trouble. After finally changing schools, she just wanted to focus on finishing her college education. "But who is out there spilling my secrets?" she wondered. "Who?" Cynthia asked, intrigued by Quarry's statement.

Seeing that they were asking to this extent. Elara decided it was better to come clean than to let Quarry reveal it first. She raised her hand timidly and said, "Actually, I'm Lysander's girlfriend." Although she and Lysander hadn't officially acknowledged it, she had met his parents, who had no objections to her. Calling herself his girlfriend didn't seem unreasonable.

As soon as she finished speaking. Quarry looked at her and pushed her raised hand back down. "Actually, my boyfriend is

Leonardo."

Cynthia chimed in. "Me too!"

Both of them were huge fans of Titanic. Elara found herself at a loss for words.

Quarry resumed. "On a serious note, his girlfriend is from the finance department. She's quite good-looking."

Lysander's girlfriend? And she's from the finance department? Elara wondered.

Upon hearing the mention of the finance department, Elara let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness that's not about me."

She nearly spilled everything. Since they hadn't recognized her, she decided to leave it alone. It was likely just some false information circulating outside.

However, that weekend evening, while Elara was having dinner home, she saw Quarry tagging everyone in their dorm group chat

Quarry: [Check out Lysander's girlfriend! OMG. My friend from the finance department sent this to me. Keep it under wraps!]

Cynthia replied: [Show me, please.]

Elara widened her eyes in anticipation.

Before long. Quarry sent a photo. Elara initially thought it would be something outrageous, but when she saw the person in the picture, she nearly choked on her drink. Setting down her cup, she picked up her phone and zoomed in on the photo. What the heck? Isn't that Daphne? She's Lysander's girlfriend? Surely, Lysander wouldn't even know how to spell her name!' she wondered. Elara messaged in the group: [Who said this is Lysander's girlfriend?]

Quarry responded. [Everyone's saying so. My friend is pretty close with his girlfriend. They met back when Lysander was at Brookfield. They've known each other for a while.]

Quarry added: [Next weekend, my friend is having a birthday party. We're going to eat at a hotel, and Lysander's girlfriend will be there. Maybe he will show up too. Do you guys want to see him? We could go together!] Cynthia replied: [Sounds good!]

Elara chimed in: [Sure!]

This situation was getting more and more interesting. Elara had heard Daphne came to Starfield City for school and thought she might reunite with Asher.

However, Elara never imagined Daphne would become Lysander's girlfriend. Elara already despised Daphne for the past, Lizzie took the blatne for her, but she never expected Daphne would be such a nuisance. "Now Daphne even wants to latch onto Lysander. What a bold move! Elara wondered.

In the afternoon on Saturday, Elara sat on the sofa, holding her phone as she logged into Lysander's Instagram account. He rarely used his phone, so Elara kept his account active for him.

Ursa approached with a dress. "Miss Kensington, this gown is from Louis Vuitton. Is it okay to wear this tonight?"

Elara glanced at it. "Okay."

Quarry wanted them to wear formal attire for her friend's birthday party, so Elara knew she had to dress up a bit Elara set her phone aside, stood up, and began trying on the dress. Ursa stood nearby, helping her with the zipper. at moment, a maid entered. "Miss Kensington, Mrs. Shawn is here to see you?

At that

"Mrs. Shawn?" Elara momentarily couldn't recall. After removing the dress, she headed downstairs.

ting on the sofa, none other than Asher's mother, Edith Shawn Barrett was greeting her

There, she saw a familiar woman sitting warmly,

Edith's eyes

were red. "Mr. Kensington, please, you must help me find Asher. He hasn't answered my calls for a whole day, and I can't reach him at all. I'm really worried about him." Chapter 71

Barrett replied, "I'll contact-you as soon as I find him."

"Thank you, Mr. Kensington. You're so kind," Edith said gratefully

Barrett had someone escort Edith and her assistant out.

Elara came downstairs and asked her father, "What was she here for?"

"She thought Asher was here, so she came looking for him," Barrett said.

Elara frowned. "Isn't Asher her son? Why doesn't she find him herself and ask you to help?"

Dad is just too kind-hearted, she wondered.

Barrett sighed. "She's in a tough spot. After all, Asher is her child with Mr. Blackwood. It wouldn't be right to bother her current husband.

"He has a bit of a temper, and if he found out, they'd definitely end up arguing. Asher's been alone in Starfield City and hasn't contacted anyone. He hasn't come to see you, has he?"

"No." Elara shook her head. After the last time she saw him make a fool of himself, he probably didn't want to see her. He was a proud person.

Barrett said. "I'll send someone to look for him later.

Elara replied, "Dad, can you please not get involved with Asher's matters?"

Barrett looked up at Elara without responding, only asking. "Didn't you say you were going out?"

Knowing her father wouldn't give up on finding Asher, Elara decided it was pointless to argue. She went back upstairs, changed her clothes, and headed to the hotel address Quarry had sent.

Quarry and Cynthia were already there, waiting for Elara at the entrance. Both looked quite stunning. Elara followed them into the banquet hall.

As soon as Elara stepped inside, she spotted Daphne. Surrounded by a crowd, Daphne radiated her usual aura, captivating everyone around her.

Elara couldn't help but admire Daphne's charm. No matter where Daphne went, she seemed to be the center of attention.
