Chapter Unveiled 73
Chapter 73
"He can't take your call right now," Elara said. Lysander hadn't returned for the weekend, and he rarely used his phone
anymore
The military academy had strict rules, and his coach was particularly attentive to him. This left him little time to play with his phone. Even his Instagram account was managed by Elara.
Hearing Elara's words, Jacqueline let out a cold laugh. "Is it that he can't take your call, or do you just not have Lysander's
number at all?"
Elara responded firmly. "Of course I have it
Jacqueline smirked. "I doubt you really do. If you have his number, why don't you call him? Do you think we're all fools?"
"Why am I the only one being singled out?" Elara gestured toward Daphne, who was standing nearby. "Why doesn't she have to call?"
"Daphne talks to Lysander on the phone every day at school. I obviously trust her." Jacqueline shot back.
'Daphne can really call Lysander? Elara thought, struggling to believe it.
"Then how about we have her call him right now? Elara challenged.
"Who do you think you are?" Jacqueline continued, her voice rising. "You show up at my birthday party and question me! Everyone here should believe me, right?" She looked toward her friends for support. Naturally, the crowd sided with Jacqueline. They didn't know Elara at all. In their eyes, she was just a crazy woman trying to get attention from Lysander and his girlfriend.
Seeing that everyone was on her side, Jacqueline turned to Quarry. "Quarry, if your friend keeps making trouble. I'm really going to get angry
Quarry glanced at Elara, lowering his voice. "Elara, let's discuss this later. Why don't we just leave? You don't need to act this way."
Quarry truly didn't want to cause any trouble. Since Jacqueline had declared that Daphne was Lysander's girlfriend, Quarry didn't want to escalate the situation. Elara glared at Quarry. "I can't stand her pretending to be Lysander's girlfriend."
"But you're not Lysander's girlfriend either," Quarry replied. "This has nothing to do with you. Even if she's lying, it's not our business."
Besides, Quarry didn't think Daphne was lying at all.
Elara turned her gaze back to Daphne. "Since she claims you can call him, why don't you give Lysander a call? If you can reach him, I'll believe you." Daphne looked at Elara and said, "I can call him."
Elara was taken aback. She hadn't expected Daphne to agree so readily.
In front of everyone, Daphne picked up her phone and directly dialed a number, putting it on speaker. The room fell silent
held their breath. Elara's eyes fixed on the scene.
as everyone
Soon, the call connected, and a man's voice came through. "Hello, babe, why did you suddenly call me
10:56 Thu, Nov
Chapter 73
Elara froze. That voice does sound a lot like Lysander, she wondered.
Daphne glanced at Elara before speaking into the phone. "Lysander, I'm at my roommate's birthday party. I just suddenly missed you, so I thought I'd call". The man on the other end of the line chuckled. "I miss you too, babe. up
"Okay," Daphne replied before hanging up the call.
elcome pick you once I'm done with my work"
As soon as the call ended, the others around her couldn't help but gush. "That's so sweet! Lysander called her babe. Oh my god, I want a boyfriend like that!"
Daphne turned to Elara, challenging her. "Do you have any more questions?"
Elara had to admit she was a bit taken aback. How could that voice belong to Lysander? she wondered. However, compared to Lysander, the man on the phone seemed a bit sleazier. Lysander would never say such things. Elara responded doubtfully. "It might just sound like him. It's not definitive that it's Lysander."
"But it is Lysander," Daphne insisted, locking eyes with Elara. "Why do you think he wouldn't like me? Are you jealous or something? Do you expect everyone in the world to revolve around you?"
Jacqueline glared at Elara, already feeling angry.
She roared, "You have no proof to show that you have a relationship with Lysander. But Daphne can provide evidence. What do you have to say for yourself? Either you apologize to Daphne now, or I'll have to ask you to leave." Elara countered, "I may not be able to call Lysander, but I have pictures with him. Doesn't that count as evidence?"
The crowd turned to Elara, intrigued. "Let's see the photos, then
Elara pulled out her phone and scrolled through her gallery to find her pictures with Lysander. They had taken some together, after all.
Sometimes she sat next to him, taking selfies. Other times, she had snapped photos of him alone.
Quarry took a quick look at Elara's phone. The man in the pictures was indeed handsome.
"Is this really Lysander?" Quarry asked, raising an eyebrow
Cynthia chimed in, 'I heard he's very good-looking. He looks too handsome to be fake."
Jacqueline leaned in "Let me see." She stepped closer, and Quarry passed her the phone.
Jacqueline studied the photo and then glanced at Elara before hesitantly showing it to Daphne. "Is this guy Lysander?" Daphne looked at the photo and nodded. "Yes"
"Wow," Quarry exclaimed. "So, Elara, you really are Lysanders girlfriend. Daphne confirmed it. Elara isn't lying"
Seeing Daphne confirm it eased Quarry's tension. She had thought Elara was just talking nonsense.
Jacqueline frowned. "But, Daphne, how does she have pictures with Lysander?"
Jacqueline looked skeptically at Elara.
Daphne explained. "Elara's dad knows Lysander's family. They sometimes hang out together, so having pictures is totally normal" Thu, Nov

Then who is really Lysander's girlfriend?" Jacqueline asked curiously.
Daphne smiled. "Even if there are pictures, it doesn't necessarily mean we're dating. I have pictures with Lysander too
"No way," Elara interjected, seeing Daphne boast about it. "Lysander would take pictures with you? Daphne, are you kidding
me?"
Lysander had never interacted with Daphne. Before the semester started, he had been with Elara the entire time. There was no way he would take photos with Daphne.
Daphne pulled out her phone and flipped through her gallery to find her photos, showing them to Jacqueline. Jacqueline handed Quarry back Elara's phone before taking Daphine's phone to look at the photos. "Wow!" Seeing Jacqueline's astonished expression, Elara felt confused, unsure of what Jacqueline had seen.
Jacqueline looked at Elara and said, "It's just a picture, and Daphne has those too. Even though you have pictures with Lysander, it's obvious that you two aren't that close. But with Daphne's, you can clearly tell who Lysander is fond of." Does she really have pictures with Lysander? Elara asked, disbelief coloring her tone.
Quarry, curious, said, "Let me see."
Quarry took the phone from Daphne and stared at the photos. After a moment, she glanced at Elara, her expression stiffening. She hesitated but eventually walked over and handed the phone to Elara..
On the screen was a picture of Lysander and Daphne together, with him leaning in to kiss her cheek.
