‘The waiter, who was putting the honeyed salmon on the table, smiled when he heard what Jocelyn said. “Miss, you’re right. The corn cream soup today was indeed made by Head Chef Blake.”

“If Head Chef Blake found out that his food was recognized by such a beautiful lady, he would be very happy.”

“Being able to eat the delicacies cooked by Head Chef Blake is also a very happy thing for us,” Jocelyn replied with a smile. Eliza, who was sitting opposite her, nodded as well.

“Yes, she’s right.”

“In that case, please enjoy. I hope this meal can bring happiness to you two beautiful ladies.” The waiter nodded slightly and left.

“Although it’s wonderful to be able to eat the delicacies made by Blake, I have to remind you not to forget what happened to you today.”

Eliza propped her chin on her hand and looked at Jocelyn with her dark green eyes that were like superior gems. “Although there is no concrete evidence, my intuition is telling me that what happened to you today has something to do with your stepmother and her daughter. You have to be careful of

them.”

Jocelyn ate slower. “I know. I’ll be careful of them. You don’t have to worry about me. I can protect myself.” Jocelyn grabbed one of Eliza’s hands that was on the table, trying to comfort her friend in this way.

At times, Jocelyn really did not understand what her stepmother and sister were thinking.

Although she was the child of his first wife, his father did not like her and even hated her.

In the Wilson family, she was not even as important as a maid.

She was no threat to her stepmother and sister at all. If her father wanted, she would be chased out of the Wilson family penniless.

Why were they still unwilling to let her off? What kind of deep hatred did they have?

Eliza felt bad and sorry for Jocelyn.

“Why don’t you move into my house?” Eliza suggested. “Anyway, your father doesn’t like you and your stepmother treats you so badly. Instead of staying at home and being bullied by them, why don’t you move in with me?”

‘The more Eliza talked, the more she thought it made sense, and her eyes lit up.

It was not that Jocelyn was not tempted by Eliza’s suggestion. However, after thinking about it, she shook her head and rejected Eliza.

“Why? If you stay in my house, I will take good care of you. Moreover, with me around, no one will dare to bully you. I promise.” Eliza turned around and grabbed Jocelyn’s hand. She looked at Jocelyn sincerely.

“Tknow you mean well, but my father won’t allow me to do this. If I do anything against his will, he will make me drop out.” At this point, Jocelyn sounded dispirited.

“You know, going to college is my dream and the only way I can escape this family. If I get expelled, I’ll be a real puppet.” There was sadness in Jocelyn’s voice.

Like a bitter coffee without sugar, it was poured into Eliza’s mouth at once, making her feel down.

“Sigh, what should we do then? Are we going to let that mother and daughter bully you?” Eliza wracked her brain trying to figure out a way.

Jocelyn smiled at her and said, “Alright, stop racking your brain. It’s gonna cause you a headache at night.”

“Te already endured for so many years. When I graduate from university, everything will be fine.”

“Everything will be alright!” Jocelyn said firmly, not knowing if she was comforting Eliza or herself.

“Yes, everything will be okay. If…” Eliza paused for a moment and looked at Jocelyn firmly. “If you can’t hold on anymore, come to me. I’ll definitely help you.”

“Alright!” Jocelyn agreed.

“Alright, hurry up and eat. If these things get cold, it’ll affect the taste.” Jocelyn patted Eliza’s hand and urged.

At Wilson’s house.

Maria, who had been waiting for her call, checked the time on her phone and then threw it on the sofa.

“Mother, are you sure the person you found is reliable? It’s almost dinner time, why is there still no good news!” Maria said sharply..
