?<strong>Chapter 989:</strong>


    Elyse nced at Louise and smiled. “You don’t have toe if you don’t want to. Go home and rest.”


    With a frown, Louise replied, “As if I could do that. You know how dangerous things are for you right now. Honestly, it would be best if you weren’t on this tour. You’re putting yourself out there, totally exposed.”


    Elyse felt taken aback and inquired, “Why would you say that? Did those men from yesterday disclose something?”


    Louise paused, weighing her words. She believed Elyse to be an average girl and worried that revealing the high bounty on her in the ck market might frighten her. After some contemtion, she finally spoke, “You are in danger, but I’ll make sure you’re safe.” Louise partially hoped for the best.


    Noticing Louise evading her question, Elyse realized the situation might be graver than she initially thought. The men from yesterday had definitely targeted her, and though they were captured, others likely remained atrge. The threat was still present.


    Was it necessary for her to withdraw from the tour? For the first time, Elyse hesitated. Touring was a rare opportunity, yet it was possible another chance would arise. She could always find another asion in the future, but she only had one life to live.


    Silently, Elyse continued walking, deep in thought. Louise, walking beside her and observing her contemtive state, blurted out sharply, “You aren’t considering backing out and quitting, are you?”

    Caught off guard, Elyse found herself at a loss for words. Louise yfully tapped her on the back and chided, “Why forfeit an opportunity over something that’s not your fault? I’ve told you, with me here, there’s nothing to fear.”


    Elyse exhaled deeply, annoyance creeping in. “I don’t want to involve you in this. It’s about life and death—it’s not to be taken lightly.”


    Louise quirked an eyebrow. “Didn’t I keep you safe yesterday without trouble? What’s there to fret about?” She continued, “You ought to be picking out a dress quickly so we can get back, and I can get some sleep.”


    Elyse let out a chuckle. Louise’s rant somewhat brightened her spirits. “Alright, alright. I’ll choose a dress quickly so we can head back,” Elyse responded.


    Louise nodded with an air of royalty. “Good, lead the way. I’m tired of seeing you down.”


    “Okay, okay,” Elyse replied, both amused and epting. Louise was certainly a character.


    While shopping, Elyse unexpectedly bumped into Theo. His face brightened when he saw her. “Elyse! What a surprise to see you here!”
