?Chapter 976:


    Both men willingly embraced their assigned roles in this improvised drama, agreeing without reservation.


    Onceprehension dawned across their friend group, relief washed over everyone involved.


    They genuinely hoped that Ellis and Freya would find their way to each other.


    With all details arranged, Ellis and Freya carefully exined their scheme to Alyssa. For seamless futuremunication, Alyssa and Freya exchanged numbers.


    After lingering over final bites, they settled the bill and departed into the evening air.


    Freya and Ellis slipped into one vehicle together, while Alyssa and Ethan upied another, the separation creating an intimate space for conversation.


    “Do you genuinely intend to meet those men?” Ethan inquired, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel as he cast sidelong nces at his passenger.


    “Why not?” Alyssa countered.


    “Don’t your affections lie with Bruce Aston?”


    “He harbors feelings for someone else. My emotions are destined to remain unrequited, so exploring other possibilities seems only logical.” Alyssa delivered these words with remarkableposure, masking the truth behind casual indifference.


    Ethan’s lips pressed into a thin line, silence hanging between them before he finally offered, “I could help you capture his heart, without question.”


    “Please don’t disturb him,” Alyssa said firmly. “I’d rather not burden him with the weight of my feelings.”


    Ethan retreated into thoughtful silence.


    Your story hub is g?lnσν???s???????


    The mystery of Bruce’s exceptional qualities eluded himpletely. Did this man truly merit years of her unwavering devotion and steadfast affection?


    Meanwhile, Ellis and Freya explored identical territory in their conversation, though Freya approached from a different angle, asking, “Has Ethan developed feelings for Alyssa?”


    “I believe so,” Ellis replied.


    “You only believe?”


    “I didn’t spend much time with them these years,” Ellis rified, his melodious voice filling the car. “Theplete history between them remains somewhat obscure to me, yet I find it peculiar that Ethan has maintained his single status throughout these years.”


    “So you’ve orchestrated this encounter with Trent and Frederick as a test?” Freya deduced.


    “Precisely,” Ellis confirmed with a deliberate nod.


    Freya acknowledged her understanding with a corresponding nod.


    They navigated toward an expansive entertainmentplex boasting diverse attractions—a racing circuit, immacte golf course, professional tennis courts, and even a sophisticated nightclub-esque establishment.


    This impressive venue had been specifically developed under the Seymour Group’s vision, sprawling across an impressive expanse ofnd.


    When the fourpanions arrived, Frederick alone awaited them, his proximity to the location enabling his earlier arrival.


    “Freya, Ellis,” Frederick greeted them warmly, his eyes dancing with unasked questions.


    Curiosity radiated from him regarding Ellis and Freya’s evolving rtionship.
