NovelFinishChapter 399 "Ms. Thorne got spooked?" Tarquin's voice was ice-cold.
"All this talk of hauntings, as if! Even if there were such things, they wouldn't dare cause trouble on my turf! It's gotta be someone playing tricks! Did anyone check the lip-reading expert on that video?" "Yeah, but the footage was too blurry. They couldn't make out what Ms. Thorne was saying." Tarquin stared at the video, lost in thought for a moment.

Over the years, he'd seen his fair share of bizarre incidents. Apart from unexplainable phenomena that might occur in old ruins, in populated living areas, specters simply didn't make the cut! It was always people pulling stunts! And frankly, people are far scarier than any ghost! If it had been a ghost chatting with Elysia that night, he wouldn't be worried. But the thought of someone masquerading as a ghost to communicate with her? That was troubling.
What sane person goes around pretending to be a ghost? Only someone off their rocker would do such a thing! What could someone possibly discuss with Elysia in the dead of night to scare her like that? After a few drags of his cigarette, Tarquin said in a deep tone, "We need to step up the investigation, find this nutjob!" Lowell looked startled and tense, "Tarquin, do you think the person who played ghost with Ms. Thorne is the sone who left a dead cat in Elijah's room?" "It's a strong possibility. Let's find this person first!" He sensed this individual was mysterious and dangerous, hiding sdark secrets! Perhaps these secrets involved him, Elijah, or maybe even something about Elysia! After the car had left, a shadowy figure emerged from the corner, chuckling as he watched them go.
Then, looking up at the floor where Elysia was, his eyes filled with adoration, "Lil' Elysia's happy, my lil' Elysia, heh heh..." "Ding-dong, ding-dong." The doorbell rang.
Elysia was still prepping ingredients when Blossom went to answer the door, only to find a delivery guy standing there, looking curious. "What's up?" The delivery guy spoke softly, "Your cake has arrived." Blossom was even more curious, "I didn't order any cake." "Isn't this the address? Aren't you Elysia?" "Elysia?" Blossom glanced at the order, indeed it had Elysia's name, phone number, and their address. "It's ours, thanks a bunch." After signing, Blossom brought the cake inside, "Elysia, did you order a cake? Is it someone's birthday?" Elysia, who was in the kitchen julienning potatoes, replied, "Not me." "Not you? Then who ordered this? It's got your nand number."
"Letsee." Elysia looked at the order and indeed, it was placed under her name, with a note to avoid mango. She's allergic to mango.

Blossom suggested, "I bet it was Elijah, that dashing dad of yours." "But why would he order a cake when it's nobody's birthday?" "To celebrate, of course! Today's a big happy day."
Elysia didn't get it. They were happy about recognizing Elijah but whyn would helbe? And then...
Elysia scrutinized the card attached to the cake, her brows furrowing,
"It couldn't be him! Look at what's written on the cake. If it were fram him, he'd never write something like this!" Blossom tilted her head, looking curious, "This... Yeah, doesn't seem like his style at all!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
