NovelFinishChapter 472 "Given your attitude, we'll definitely put in a good word for you with Winona when she gets back. Maybe she'll soften up a bit toward you." Zane chuckled, "Alright, then you guys better head back. I've got to dash for a meeting at the office. Let's catch up when we're free." "Sure thing," Blossom waved goodbye.
Elysia, snapping back to reality, waved at him too.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Zane's expression shifted instantly.
Stepping out of the elevator, he returned to the call he had earlier, "What's the problem now?" "You've got a tail." "Who?!" "Not sure yet, looks like it's more than one party." Zane furrowed his brows as he got into his car, slamming the door with force, "Could it be someone from the Newsom family?" "Possibly, has the old man noticed anything odd?" "His daughter's been out of touch for a while; he's getting anxious." "Didn't you show him the video?" "I did, and he bought it, but that old fox is cunning. We can't take him lightly." "Should we take him out?" "Not yet, the timing's not right!" "The only thing we're sure of is someone named Callum is on your tail! He's been snooping around for Winona lately, seems like he caught wind of her agent's mishap but isn't quite sure, so he's digging deep." A vicious gleam crossed Zane's eyes, "Callum once had a thing for Winona. His digging might just be because he can't reach her. Don't sweat it; we'll find an opportunity to deal with him. Focus on finding out who else is poking around!" "Got it." After hanging up, Zane tossed his phone into the glove compartment and massaged his temples.
Looking up at the building, his face creased in frustration, "Elysia, when will you ever see the truth behind my actions? Sigh..." Zane lingered for a while before leaving. Axel, hiding in a corner, watched him go, eyes narrowing.

Elysia sighed, feeling something was off about the way Zane looked at her, but couldn't quite place it. It was an unsettling feeling.
Taking an excuse to head to the restroom, Elysia messaged Callum, [Have you found anything about Winona recently?] Callum replied with promising news. He was on the verge of final confirmation and would reach out proactively once done.
Elysia's heart raced inexplicably at the message. Was it bad news? It took a while before Callum responded again, suggesting they meet in person to talk.
The more Callum withheld, the more Elysia feared the worst. Gathering her courage, she asked if something happened to Winona.
It seemed her agent had run into trouble.
Before Elysia could inquire further, Callum sent another message, "Don't mention this to Zane yet; I'm still confirming. And don't scare yourself. A friend mentioned seeing Winona a few days ago; she's probably fine." Elysia felt a bit relieved, "Okay, I'll wait for your news." Putting away her phone, Elysia took a deep breath.
She trusted Callum more than Zane.
Later that afternoon, due to a last-minute issue, Blossom had to return to the nursery school.
Elysia was left to do a thorough cleaning at home.
Taking advantage of the clear weather, she stripped all the beds to replace the linens with fresh ones e and tossed the dirty ones into the washer. After cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, she also tidied up the bedrooms. The four little ones helped out, making the chore tlively and filled with laughter, a precious moment of mother-child bonding.

After leaving Blissful Uncle's Bar, having delegated his responsibilities, he made a quick stop at his villa to pick up sgroceries before heading back to Sunshine Community. Living alone, he busied himself in the kitchen.
Though he was reluctant to host this dinner, having promised his sons, he intended to make it a good one.
In his mind, he was hosting Elijah, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett for dinner.
Elysia, on the other hand, was merely En an extra mouth to feed. But he didn't mind her company; after all, he had something to ask her tonight.
