Seeing Elysia sit down, he sat down on the chair beside her and continued, “Ida, you don’t know disa sa doop wased to see you

“By the way, Ada, what can I do for your 1l do my best as long as I can!
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!
Hearing this, Barrett picked up the cufflink and examined it, his brow furrowed “Ada, is there anything you wan to know about this
person? Perhaps I can help you?
“Do you know who this person is? Elysia demanded.
Barrett nodded, “Indeed, I do. I know him well. He cuntomizes cufflinks from me every year at a high price. However, he stopped
Elysia raised an eyebrow. “A few years ago? Mr. Black, could you give me more details? This is very important to me.”
Barrett counted on his fingers and said, “It would have been three years ago?
“Three years ago? Are you sure?
“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 tell me who customized this cufflink?”
Barrett looked a little embarrassed. “Ada, as a designer, I need to protect my clients‘ privacy. I’m sorry. I can’t tell you”
okay? “I’m sorry. How about telling me in another way? I’ll tell you my guess and you just nod or shake your head. Is t
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 name that 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 came back 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 help me with.”
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 me today.”
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 helped me a 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 time we 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 brought me back to life. She is like a ray of light in my dark life. I admired her before, and now I met her and have
more respect for her. She has already become a famous designer at such a young age, while some at here can’t do anything.
‘And she has achieved what many spent their entire lives chasing. That is really impressive.
