Elyse was equally surprised to see Theo. Curiosity sparked within her as she asked, “How are you feeling? Why

haven't you gone hyet?”

Theo smiled, replying, “I'm recovered, but I'm still here to finish sbusiness.”

Elyse looked puzzled. “Are you working? Have you rejoined the Ward Group? Did your mom change her mind?”

“No, this is something I've chosen to pursue independently. I'm here to meet someone for a discussion,” Theo

explained.

He glanced at Louise, his expression momentarily shifting before he quickly masked his surprise. “I was about to

Elyse glanced at Louise, waiting for her response.

Theo's forehead creased as he began, “Lately, in my dealings, I've connected with sshady figures. Just

Elyse’s mind raced. “Who would be so idle as to place such a bounty?”

Theo answered, “Do you suspect it’s a joke? In the underworld, deals involve actual cash. For high bounties like

yours, half is usually paid upfront to ensure the buyer doesn’t back out once the job is done.”

Elyse’s discomfort deepened. “So, someone is actually paying to havecaptured? Who would go to such

lengths?”

Theo's gaze held a mix of sympathy and concern as he faced Elyse. “I'll do what | can to protect you, but my

abilities are limited.”

Elyse sensed something amiss in Theo's tone, feeling as though her life hung in the balance. After a moment of

reflection, she pressed, “What more can you tell me? | need to be ready.”
