Chapter 1064 – Out of Kindness?
Elise laughed softly, though her eyes stayed on Lux. "Then perhaps your reputation needs cleaning more than I thought."
Lux's hand slowed over the cat. "You want to help clean my reputation."
"Yes."
"Out of kindness?"
Elise smiled. "Out of family interest."
Naomi's eyes cooled.
Elise looked at her, then back at Lux.
"Since you are dating Naomi, your reputation affects hers. And hers affects ours. Like I said we rise and fall together, remember?"
Lux's smile stayed pleasant.
But Naomi knew him.
The softness had left the edges.
He did not like that sentence.
Victor watched with approval carefully hidden.
Elise was good.
She was turning personal interest into strategic approach. She wanted closer access to Lux, but she was wrapping it in reputation management, family concern, and business cooperation. Good instincts. Too much curiosity perhaps, but useful.
Hugo watched his sister and smirked behind his teacup.
She had definitely fallen.
