Elisa Field felt a pang of anxiety as she watched Miles Gu bully Gavin Gao.
Miles Gu's actions were clearly motivated by Yina Yin; he was targeting Gavin Gao because of her.
Did this mean he was starting to like Yina Yin again?
Elisa Field absolutely could not allow that to happen.
Elisa glanced around, and when no one was watching, she snuck away from the scene.
Ethan Yin said to Quentin Sheng, "Have someone follow her."
"Let Jason go," Cherry Miller nodded at Jason. "Follow her, but don't alert her."
Jason lowered his head in silence and vanished the next second.
After Elisa Field returned to her room, she quickly closed the window and curtains, then took out a phone she had never used before and dialed a number. "Head Housekeeper, something's wrong—Miles Gu seems to be falling for Yina Yin again."
An exasperated voice came from the phone, "Didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's absolutely necessary?"
"Isn't this absolutely necessary?" Elisa Field retorted, confused.
The person on the other end was furious. "As long as you're Miles Gu's fiancée, what is there to worry about?"
"But..."
"No buts! Remember this! You must hold onto your position and never let Miles Gu waver! Four days from now, Miles Gu will be completely separated from the Yin Family. After that, he’ll belong entirely to the Field Family! You’ll be the future mistress of the Field Family! Elisa Field, we chose you out of thousands—don’t let us down!"
"Yes, Head Housekeeper," Elisa Field replied quietly. "But what about Miles Gu..."
"It's normal for him to be suspicious. After all, the information we gave him was all false. Anyone with half a brain would doubt it. But so what? Just hang on for four more days—once the engagement is dissolved, even if his primary persona returns, it won’t matter! Without the protection of the Yin Family, Miles Gu will have to rely on the Field Family! At that point, whoever he marries is up to us!" The Head Housekeeper was running out of patience.
If they’d known Elisa Field was this clueless, they would have picked someone smarter.
She was more trouble than she was worth.
"Alright, alright," Elisa Field said, as if she’d finally found her backbone. "I’ll do as I’m told."
Afraid she might really be replaced, Elisa Field hurriedly hung up the phone.
She didn’t pull open the curtains or open the window to look outside.
If she had, she would have seen Jason Yuan hanging upside down like a bat under the eaves outside her window, listening to her phone call, catching every word.
After eavesdropping, Jason Yuan slipped away as if he’d never been there at all, returning lightly to Cherry Miller’s side. He nodded to her and said, “Found them.”
“Is the location accurate?” Cherry asked.
“Five percent margin of error,” Jason replied.
Cherry immediately handed the address to Ethan Yin. “Our fish has finally bitten the bait.”
Ethan’s lips curled into a smile. “Looks like our setup paid off. If they hadn’t put Elisa—the weak link—here, we wouldn’t have found them so quickly. Quentin—”
Quentin Sheng stepped forward, took the note, and said, “I’ll send someone over right away.”
“Sneak in quietly, no guns blazing,” Ethan winked at Quentin.
Quentin grinned. “Got it.”
Meanwhile—
After hanging up, the Head Housekeeper turned to Mr. Locke. “Elisa was reckless this time. But there are still four days left. In four days, Miles will be completely cut off from the Yin Family. Even if they find the world’s best hypnotist, they won’t be able to awaken Miles’ primary personality. Mr. Locke, don’t you agree?”
Mr. Locke twitched his little mustache, looking smug. “I’m the world’s best hypnotist. No one but me could wake him.”
“Good.” The Head Housekeeper turned and left, telling his followers as he walked, “Announce it—we’re about to start our own wild party! To celebrate our Field Family welcoming a new leader to take us to new heights!”
“Woohoo!” The crowd shouted excitedly, “Leader! Leader! Leader!”
The Head Housekeeper looked up at the cave ceiling above.
The days of hiding and running are finally coming to an end.
Just four more days. Only four days left!
All his grievances and patience would finally pay off!
Ten kilometers outside the cave, Jason Jiang and Sharon Yun had already arrived.
