?Chapter 754:
Daniel’s curiosity about Ellie’s life and the people in it had led him to uncover quite a bit about her connections and the events surrounding them. His aim was to unearth the individual who had tampered with the evidence, so he was well-informed about Ellie’s acquaintances.
Ellie eyed Daniel with a mix of surprise and curiosity. “You’re aware of Levy and Flossie?”
A flicker of pride passed through Daniel, pleased to be of use to her. “They shared the same middle school, but Levy was known to be quite the troublemaker and a hard case back then, likely having minimal interactions with Miss Yount.”
Ellie’s mind raced back to Flossie’s admission of her feelings for Levy, which had persisted for over ten years, a stark contrast to what others perceived about her and Levy’s interactions. It was merely the beginning of their story.
Upon exiting the elevator, Ellie unlocked her door.
“Please,e in. I’ll get you…” Her words trailed off unexpectedly.
Kaiden was sprawled on the sofa, still dressed in his shirt and trousers, looking up at the sound.
“When did you get back?” Ellie couldn’t help but beam with joy at the sight of him.
Kaiden had nned a surprise visit for Ellie, not anticipating her absence. He had decided to wait for her return, unaware that she would be apanied by others.
Kaiden’s face was unreadable as he nced at the unexpected guests trailing behind Ellie.
Susanna felt a twinge of unease, on the verge of suggesting a rain check on their ns with Ellie, when Daniel stepped forward, breaking the ice with a casual, “Hi, Mr. Thorpe.”
Merely five minutester, Daniel and Susanna had made themselvesfortable on the living room sofa.
Just as Ellie was about to serve them water, she realized, to her dismay, that she only had two cups in the house. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment at the oversight.

Observing the situation, Kaiden reconsidered his initial assessment of the living room’s ample seating, realizing it might have been a bit too generous.
“Mr. Thorpe, could I have a moment of your time?” Daniel initiated a conversation, seeking a private talk.
Ellie, having found two bottles of mineral water in the fridge, returned to find the men stepping out onto the balcony, deep in conversation.
On the balcony, Daniel didn’t beat around the bush. “Mr. Thorpe, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t stand a chance with my little sister El if you weren’t as fortunate as you are to be with her now,” he stated bluntly.
Kaiden inquired, “And when are you nning to reveal the truth to Ellie?”
“It’ll be a while,” Daniel responded, sharing his findings and expressing their family’s collective concern. “My older brother Glenn ising back next month. He’s looking forward to meeting you.”
Initially, Kaiden’s demeanor was rxed, but the mention of Glenn—known as the Lambert family’s formidable figure—caused a slight shift in his expression, hinting at a newfound seriousness.
