Chapter 3113
Ellar pondered, ’Don't people usually meet and chat first, even for a blind date? But my
mom's acting like she's arranging a marriage straight off?'
"Just tell her straight; you've got someone in mind. That's the truth, right?" Lulu nudged
Ellar, urging him to confess.
Right as Lulu's words hung in the air, Patricia was seized by a sudden coughing fit.
"Easy there, drink some water," Ell ar quickly handed her a glass, concern etched on his
face.
Patricia's coughing subsided after a moment, and she took a few sips of water,
murmuring, "Thanks."
"Long as you're alright," El I ar commented, pained to see Patricia flush from the coughing
spell.
"Let's focus on the meal, Lulu," Patricia interjected before Lulu could delve deeper,

"Alright, let's eat," Lulu agreed, holding back her questions.
She recognized that some issues needed to be navigated delicately. The evolving dynamic
between Ellar and Patricia was something they had to untangle on their own.
Post-lunch, Ellar excused himself, and Nicole, alongside Patricia and Lulu, made their way
back to Riddle Corporation.
"Nicole, any idea what Everett's next move might be?" Lulu inquired, concern creasing her
forehead.
Nicole responded with a heavy tone, "My concern's actually more with Ellar right now."
"You think Everett's targeting him because of his involvement?" Lulu probed cautiously.
"It's not just that. Everett's too familiar with our circle. For him, going after Ellar could
disrupt US significantly," Nicole speculated, contemplating Everett's potential motives.
Targeting Ell ar could simultaneously weaken their side and force Nicole to split her focus.
Everett likely anticipated this, making Ellar a continued subject of his machinations.
"What's our play, then? Is Ellar at risk?" Lulu's worry was palpable.
"We need to ensure someone's keeping a close eye on Ellar, for his safety," Nicole
concluded with a firm resolve.
Patricia hesitated before speaking in a low voice, "Ms. Riddle, please don't worry. The
agents I deployed to BayCorp remain on guard, closely monitoring Ellar's safety."
Her implication was clear: no harm would come to Ellar under their watch.
Nicole raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, while Lulu couldn't hide her admiration, "Wow,
you're really keeping tabs on him."
It seemed Patricia's concern ran deeper than mere professional duty.
Blushing, Patricia tried to deflect. "It's strictly a professional precaution."
Despite her absence from BayCorp, the situation there remained volatile, justifying her
decision not to recall her team.

Lulu, however, wasn't buying it, leaning in to whisper, "Come on, admit it. Does the whole
Doretta thing make you jealous?"
Patricia's silence was telling, prompting Lulu to press further. "It bothers you, doesn't it?"
With a hurried excuse, Patricia made her escape, her pace quickening as she left.
Lulu looked on, her expression a mix of frustration and concern. "Leaving us hanging with
nothing but her pride."
Nicole offered a light-hearted reprimand, "Let's not push them too hard."
Lulu's reply was tinged with resignation, "They're the ones complicating things, driving US
up the wall."
"Patricia has her reasons," Nicole said, recognizing the deeper layers of Patricia's actions.
Patricia's commitment to her mission, despite the freedom to step back, hinted at
unresolved personal conflicts. Nicole sensed that given time, Patricia might reconcile her
duty with her feelings.
Lulu, reflective yet disappointed, conceded. "I get it. It's just sad to see chances slip away.
But in the end, we all have our paths to choose."
