Even though they had paid for the test, the result would only be out in 48 hours as they were not anyone affluent.
The next day was a weekend, Dylan called Elena early in the morning and asked if she was free to accompany him to the sea. She only had three hours of rest after returning to her apartment before she got the call from Dylan. Since Caleb accompanied her the entire night until the break of dawn, she only brought Layla and Lois along to the outing.
“Why do you look so sleepy? Been out thieving the previous night?”
When the three friends went out of the apartment building, Elena hung her head low as she walked on the road; she looked like she was about to fall asleep. It was not strange that her friends were suspicious of her behavior.
“Were you with Second Young Master Sharp last night?”
Lois was very optimistic about the relationship between Elena and Second Young Master Sharp. The man was personable and handsome, and he was a good match for Elena. It was more than enough for a suitable match too.
Elena wanted to roll her eyes at her, “Why don’t you court him yourself since you like Second Young Master Sharp so much?”
“I do like him. I drool whenever I see him.”
Lois did not conceal her admiration for Second Young Master Sharp. She said with a smile, “Unfortunately, he does not view me the same way.”
“Yes, Elena. Even I can see that the second master is interested in you. No point in denying it.”
“Yeah, would he stay by your side all the time if he didn’t like you? The time when you were sick, you didn’t even know…”
“Was it really Second Young Master Sharp who stayed by my side when I was sick?”
Elena had wanted to ask about that, but she did not dare to think about it in detail. When she was half-conscious, she could sense that it was someone else, another man, who had been by her side. It was the same man who she dared not think about, but she had no choice. However, she was insensible at that time, so she was not too sure about it. After all, Henry was by her side when she woke up.
“Of course, it was Second Young Master Sharp. Who else did you think it was?”
Unfortunately, the corridor to her hospital room had been heavily guarded by Henry’s people, so they hardly had a chance to see her. Every time they were there, though, Second Young Master Sharp was also there. Who else could it have been if not Henry?
“You’re taking things for granted. If he doesn’t like you, why is he so good to you?”
Layla knew that Elena still had feelings for Eldest Young Master Williams. Too bad he was already with Ava.
Ava posted on Weibo daily to show her intimacy with Eldest Young Master Williams. Her posts were an eyesore, but Layla still read them. She was reluctant to Elena’s fate, so she looked forward to the day that Eldest Young Master Williams would dump Ava. However, good people finished last. It would probably take a long time before Layla would hear any good news about that.
That bloody woman! Not only did she live in WongRiver Pavilion, but she had also started to work in Williams Corporation. She got to spend time with Eldest Young Master Williams every day! She would upload a few posts daily about her interaction with Eldest Young Master Williams! Layla wanted to puke whenever she saw Ava’s post!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Layla mumbled under her breath, “Eldest Young Master Williams had not even cared to look at Ava in the beginning, but why did he suddenly have a change of heart?”
“Did you also see the post about Ava and Eldest Young Master Williams?” Lois joined the conversation.
She knew about Elena’s relationship with Eldest Young Master Williams. They had dissolved their engagement, had they not? In Lois’s opinion, it did not matter if a marriage through business connections like the one between Eldest Young Master Williams and Elena blew up. She did not notice her friend’s sadness, so she must not have cared about the incident.
Everyone in Bentson knew about Ava and Eldest Young Master Williams. After all, the man was the golden bachelor in Bentson. He was a much better news material compared to any well-known artists!
“Eldest Young Master Williams had never thought Ava as someone significant. Other people had seen them in a banquet before this, and Eldest Young Master Williams did not even look at her once.”
“How did you get this kind of gossip?” Layla was interested whenever there was gossip. Lois was particularly proud of herself for her resourcefulness.
“I know a lot more. Before Elena got engaged to Eldest Yong Master Williams, Ava had tried to approach Eldest Young Master Williams so many times, but he had always given her the cold shoulder.
“After that, Ava started going out with Second Young Master Williams, but I guess it was all part of her plan to get close to Eldest Young Master Williams.”
Lois was right. Ava had only been with Dylan to get to Michael. It was the perfect cover for her perfect plan.
“I don’t understand why Eldest Young Master Williams would change his behavior when he had been so cold toward Ava in the beginning?”
“Only God would know about that. Perhaps, he was possessed…”
Elena walked behind the two chatty girls. She had completely ignored her two nosy friends.
She agreed with what Lois had said. Eldest Young Master Williams would not change his opinion about someone if he did not like them. Ava had pursued him for several years in her previous life, and yet he had never allowed Ava to live at his place. Elena’s new life, however…
It was very strange, indeed. What if Eldest Young Master Williams had the same idea as the old madam and thought that Ava was the old madam’s granddaughter? He might have allowed Ava to stay there for the old madam’s sake. Could Ava have lied to both of them? The old madam also mentioned that she wanted to clear things up with the old master and Eldest Young Master Williams…
“Elena, what’s wrong with you?” Layla and Lois had moved quite far ahead, and there was a huge distance between them and Elena.
When they noticed that, the two quickly turned around and walked to Elena and held her hand. “Are you not feeling well? Let’s not go if you are unwell. Just tell Second Young Master Williams that we can’t go out with him.”
“It’s okay. I was just thinking about something.” Elena smiled and sped up.
She had to return his favor anyway. She might as well get it done earlier. Besides, they had worked so hard over a long period, so it was a good idea for them to go out and relax.
Dylan waited for them outside Sharp’s Industrial Park’s back entrance. Even though he did not get much sleep, he still looked energetic when they saw him. As for Elena, she had fallen asleep as soon as she got into the car. Dylan had a lot to say to her, but unfortunately, she was exhausted and had fallen asleep almost instantly. He did not want to wake her up.
The two girls in the back seat prattled throughout the car ride and pestered him with questions about their trip to the sea, which had annoyed him. However, they were Elena’s friends, so he tried his best to be patient with them.
Half an hour later, the car arrived and parked at the dock. Elena rubbed her eyes when she woke up. As soon as she got out of the vehicle, the fresh sea breeze blew on her face and took her sleepiness away. She looked up, and a tall and sturdy figure at the sunny beach caught her eye.
