However, was Sandy going to give up just like that? Not
Lucy and Naomi went to the cafe nearby to try out some newly launched cakes during
lunchtime. “The cakes here are quite nice. A lot of people are talking about them on
Instagram, and that’s how I was poisoned.”
Naomi was curious. “What do you mean poisoned?”
Lucy paused, “That means I wanted to try them really badly. When someone online
recommends something so that everyone knows about it.”
Lucy then tapped her head. “Don’t you go online a lot? I think you’re quite young, but there
seems to be an age gap between US.” Naomi pushed her hair behind her ear and smiled

“That’s why.” Lucy took a scoop of cream. “ But I can understand. A socialite like you
probably is very strictly controlled by your family. It isn't surprising that you don’t have time
to go online.”
Naomi smiled but didn’t answer. She had no idea how to explain her past.
“By the way,” Lucy looked around and leaned in to say, “Did you know that Mr. Boucher is actually
Helios Boucher’s cousin?”
Naomi paused, then nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard of that.”
“Did you know all along?” Lucy was surprised and felt ashamed. “I’m glad you knew. I almost made it
worse for you.”
She then said, “Listen, that Mr. Boucher was a playboy back then, and I heard that he impregnated a
lot of women and even caused their miscarriages. By the way, that woman was a Hannigan, the sister
of the man who eloped, but she wasn't a good person anyway. I heard that she’s in prison now, and it
was because of Mr. Boucher.”
Naomi’s hand that was holding the coffee cup paused, and she looked at her. “How did you learn that?”
Lucy smiled. “I just heard it from someone. You know I just love gossipping.” She then looked really
serious. “Anyway, it’s best to stay away from them, as far as possible.”
“But I don’t think he would do that.” Naomi looked down. “It’s all just rumors, and there is never solid
evidence since no one knows the truth.”
Lucy thought about it and figured that she was right. Even though that was the rumor, Ms. Hannigan
was not a nice person, so who knew what the truth actually was?
She looked up. “You’re right, but we don’t know the truth either. To be safe, since we’ve lost contact

Naomi turned around and saw Francisco standing up and saying goodbye to someone. They were just
a walkway away.
Lucy was stunned, she raised her hand to cover her face and lowered her voice, “oh my
god, everything I said—”
Since Francisco had his back facing them, she didn’t notice it was him, and they were
pretty much literally talking behind his back. That was so embarrassing!
Francisco walked past them and stopped. He looked at them and smiled, “You seem to be
very interested in my past.”
Lucy blushed, “No... No, I was just talking nonsense.”
Francisco took a look at Naomi and walked away.
Naomi watched him leave through the door and stood up. “Wait for me here.”
Lucy looked at her. “Where are you going?”
