After saying that, he didn't forget to pat his chest and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

Elodie blinked her eyes a few times, with a strong look of hesitation on her face.

It seems that the words of the Director-General just now did have a big effect.

She was really thinking seriously about whether to confess to the Director-General.

Of course, this is only temporary.

In just a moment, she regained her "sanity", shook her head vigorously, like a rattle, and her long pale golden hair spread out.

"That's not the case! I don't like anyone!"

"I was just curious and asked casually."

After saying that, she picked up the tea cup next to her, held it up in front of her face as if to hide her expression, and drank in small sips, not putting it down for a long time.

Seeing that Elodie didn't want to say anything, the Director-General didn't press any further.

Although she didn't ask further questions, she smiled like an aunt and looked at him kindly.

She looked like an old mother who accidentally discovered that her daughter had grown up.

At this moment, the sudden rapid sound of footsteps interrupted the communication between the two women and attracted their attention.

"Ah, Elodie, it turns out you are here. I finally found you."

The person who came was none other than Sanako.

She pressed her lower back with one hand and her round belly with the other hand, and walked towards Elodie quickly and unhurriedly.

Seeing this, Elodie subconsciously thought that some emergency related to her had occurred, so she hurriedly asked:

"Miss Sanako, what's wrong?"

Sanako pursed her red lips lightly and said quietly with a strange expression:

"Elodie, a middle-aged man came outside the mansion. He claims to be your...father."

"...Huh?"

In an instant... the moment she heard the word "father", Elodie's eyes widened, her pupils contracted into pinhole shapes, and the blood on her pretty face quickly faded.

Click.

The teacup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
