‘I was wrong from the start. I made a considerable mistake!’ Eloise thought.
Chester regained his senses and looked at Sienna for a solution. He pleaded, “Please help my daughter. I’ll pay you however much you want.”
Sharron also looked at Sienna with eager eyes. “Sienna, I know you have a way to save my daughter. Please help her. She’s my only daughter. I can’t continue living if she stays in prison!”
Eloise gradually regained her senses from extreme fear. She looked at Sienna pleadingly and said, “S-Sienna, please help me. I realize what I’ve done and won’t dare to do it again!”
Sienna remained silent as she looked at her crying friend. The former looked at Eloise for a long while before finally saying, “Ms. Bonita is the pride of Arvandor’s scientific research community, yet you hired people to slander her.

Chester paused with a sense of foreboding in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he stiffly approached Ivor and asked, “What brings you here?”
Ivor stood upright and gazed at Chester coldly. “Mr. Chester, I believe you already know why I’m here. There’s no need to ask such a question, right?”
Chester clenched his fists and then relaxed after a heavy sigh. “Just say it. What do you want us to do after what happened with Bonnie?”
Ivor did not beat around the bush. He said, “Considering our families’ long-standing friendship, I don’t want to handle it too harshly. So, I won’t touch what your family owns. However, you must all leave Pyralis and promise me you’ll never contact Bonnie again.”
Chester had guessed that Ivor was here to help Bonnie. Still, the former did not expect Ivor to tell the whole family to leave Pyralis.
