NovelEnglishChapter 54 Lysander cast a cold glance in Nathaniel's direction.
Nathaniel shrugged and turned to Giselle with a grin. "Hey, Giselle," he said playfully, "haven't you dug up anything else juicy? You've been studying in Feloria all these years, surely you've cacross this guy in the business circles there?" Giselle's eyes twinkled with amusement.
"This person's mentor is even more renowned," she replied. "Alex Tyrell is a member of the Feloria Academy of Sciences and a godfather of investment. His big data company has ties to the Feloria Intelligence Agency, and everyone around him is under government protection. We could only find surface-level information: 'Forest Team' is a group of our people who went abroad for further studies, and I've heard they're bringing their team back hsoon." Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke.

Nathaniel whistled appreciatively. "Giselle, you've really got sskills! Letknow when you meet them; I'd love to see what all the fuss is about. Must be quite the character if they're this hard to pin down!" "Well, Lysander trustswith Falcon Technologies, our joint venture. I have to give it my all and not let him down," Giselle said softly, her eyes filled with affection. Her delicate hand lightly rested on Lysander's, which held a glass of wine. "Don't drink too much, it's rough on your stomach. We have things to do once we get htonight." "Alright, as you say," Lysander replied, his sharp features softening for a moment as he set down the glass gently.
"SPDA, huh? Do it somewhere else, you lovebirds!" The group started teasing them good-naturedly. Giselle blushed, leaning into Lysander, her fair cheeks hidden against his neck. Suddenly, the door swung open. Mila stood at the entrance, quietly observing Lysander at the center of attention, his face uncharacteristically warm and friendly, with Giselle practically melded to his side.
She chuckled bitterly.
Knowing she was coming, yet he still brought Giselle along it was just like him to get under her skin.
An awkward silence filled the room.
With Ryan absent today, the place was filled with people adept at reading the room. Though their faces betrayed no emotion, their eyes darted about, filled with anticipation for the . Their looks at Mila were tinged with mockery and disdain, all eager to see how things would unfold.
Mila recognized everyone there-Lysander's childhood friends and Giselle's close acquaintances. Though they weren't as overtly hostile as Ryan, they had their share of subtle jabs at her due to her strained relationship with Lysander, whose dislike for her was well-known.
She hadn't expected to find them all here.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Giselle, still draped over Lysander, turned her head. Seeing Mila, she raised her eyebrows slightly, her hand tightening on Lysander's shoulder and deliberately moving in a possessive circle.
Lysander didn't pull away, his deep-set eyes fixed on Mila at the door, a faint enigmatic smile playing on his lips.
Giselle, emboldened by this, ignored Mila and turned to Leonard, who was also standing at the doorway. "Leonard, what are you doing? Can't you see we're busy? Get rid of the unwelcguest!" But Leonard ignored her, his gaze shifting to Lysander.
Giselle didn't have the authority to order him around.
