Hearing Barrett's words, Elysia didn’t squander the moment. She took out the catfink from her pocket and put it
in four of him. “I'm seeing you for this?
Barrett looked at the cufflink, a look of surprise tinted on his face. “This is my design”
“It is indeed your design. I'm here today to ask you who customized this outfink!

“Do you know who this person is? Elysia demanded.
Barrett nodded, “Indeed, | do. | know him well. He cuntomizes cufflinks fromevery year at a high price.

Elysia raised an eyebrow. “A few years ago? Mr. Black, could you givemore details? This is very important to

Barrett counted on his fingers and said, “It would have been three years ago?

“Yes, I'm sure
Elysia frowned and thought, “Three years ago? Evelyn passed away three years ago. Could this be a
coincidence?
“Ada, wh-what's wrong?
Elysia looked at him urgently. “Mr. Black, can you tellwho customized this cufflink?”
Barrett looked a little embarrassed. “Ada, as a designer, | need to protect my clients’ privacy. I'm sorry. | can’t tell
you”

Barrett hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement under Elysia’s eager gaze.

He thought, ‘Ada is not supposed to guess who customized the cufflink. If she does, it only means that Ada and
the person knows each other. If so, she is not supposed to harm the person's interests.
Seeing Barrett nod, Elysia calmed down and said the nthat she thought of. “He is Jim Evans.”
Barrett's face darkened. Elysia saw the change in his expression and continued, “He is a member of the Evans
from Jorlandia. To be precise, he is one of the heads of the Evans family, the general manager of Evans Group.
He has been married twice and has two daughters.”
Hearing Elysia’s words, Barrett was surprised. “Ada, what is your relationship with him? How do you know him so
well?”
Elysia’s heart sank. Barrett did not contradict her. Then it meant that this person was Jim indeed. Her guess was
right, but she was not happy at all. If her guess was right, it meant that Evelyn might have been through
something bad before she died, and no one knew about it.
“Ada, what's wrong with you?”
Elysia cback to her senses and shook her head. “He’s my uncle.”
“I see. Ada, no wonder you know him so well. But you don’t seem very happy about it.”
Elysia shook her head and forced a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Black.”
Barrett shook his head. “I didn’t do anything. Ada, you're smart. You figured it all out yourself.”
Elysia knew what he meant. He was trying to distance himself from the matter, so that he wouldn't get caught
up in any trouble in the future. She understood. She was grateful that Barrett had told her what he knew by
nodding and shaking his head.
“Mr. Black, there's one more thing that you need to helpwith.”

Barrett hesitated for a moment and said, “Go ahead please.”
“I'd like to ask you to keep our meeting today a secret. Mr. Black, please don't tell anyone.”
Barrett was happy to agree to her demand. It would do no good to either of them if he said to others. Barrett
agreed immediately. “I promise.”
“Thank you.” Then Elysia called the waiter over. As she was about to pay, Barrett stopped her. “No, Ada. It's on
Elysia smiled slightly, handed the card to the waiter, and nodded.
The waiter understood and swiped the card through the card reader. Elysia then looked at Barrett. “It's my honor
to serve you on your visit to Clusia. Just enjoy yourself. Moreover, you've helpeda lot today, Mr. Black.”
As she finished speaking, the waiter gave the card back to her and left.
Elysia said she had something to deal with and got up to leave. But after taking two steps, she stopped, looked
back at Barrett, and smiled faintly. “Next twe meet, just make it more informal. You can relax before me. I'm
just a young lady.” Then she turned away.
Barrett withdrew his eyes from her retreating figure.
He never thought that he would feel nervous in front of a young lady, but he thought, ‘It’s fine. In fact, it's quite
good. Ada is the one who has broughtback to life. She is like a ray of light in my dark life. | admired her

‘And she has achieved what many spent their entire lives chasing. That is really impressive.
