Valuable Information  I knew very little about the Harmony incident. I’ve been busy with thepany''s upgrade these past few days and haven''t inquired about the aftermath.


    However, I overheard As say to Jared that day, "Your people were  involved."  I believe Jared''s people are those associated with Trinity.


    After I asked, she fell silent, ying with the cup in her hand. She looked at me as if debating whether to tell me what happened.


    I wasn''t in a rush. I kept my gaze fixed on her, waiting for her to exin.


    "They''re not my people," she said,


    then hesitated before continuing,  "They''re Jared''s people."  I was taken aback for a moment.


    Jared''s people?  Her expression was inscrutable.


    I couldn''t figure out why Jared''s people would go after Harmony. From the look on Trinity''s face, it didn''t seem like she was making excuses for herself.


    However, the information was important.


    It meant that she and Jared''s people wanted to keep their distance from each other. They were operating independently.


    I raised an eyebrow. "So, what''s the point of telling me this? Are you asking me to ry the message to Ivanna to


    step back or topromise? Let''s be more direct here. Besides Ivanna, I can''t think of anymon ground | between us." "Ms. Chloe, you''re not naive," she said, smiling for the first time.


    I chuckled in response. "You''ve made me see you in a new light. I used to think you were just a fierce, reckless woman. But now I have to admit I was wrong!" I swirled the wine in my ss, my eyes still fixed on her face.


    Then I took a sip and continued, "You''re rational, calm, and not easily swayed by others." She remained nomittal, still watching me. Beyond her figure, I saw a piercing gaze directed straight at us


    from a corner of the central hall,  I smiled, and she frowned. I was confident that she understood what my shifting gaze meant.


    She was wise like that, yet she hadn''t handled her emotional affairs well.


    Ilooked at Trinity again. "But you''re mistaken about one thing. You picked the wrong target for this conversation.


    You should have said all this to Ivanna.


    "However, you''ve lost the chance to face her in person. You''ve already lost the first round!"  "What do you mean?!" Trinity''s voice wasced with arrogance. It was clear she wasn''t one to admit defeat.


    Of course, perhaps for her, the y had  only just begun.


    Lo AR eh "Trinity, the power of love is formidable. No matter who it is, they shouldn''t use an iron fist to crush it." 1 | added, "That''s why they say love conquers all!" I said with some regret, "I can''t help you. But I''m still grateful for what you''ve said to me." "Why?" Trinity''s voice carried a chill.

    "Because Ivanna is my friend!" With that, I stood up, ready to leave.


    Trinity didn''t stop me, but she said, "Aren''t you afraid of gaining another | enemy?" I paused, then turned around gracefully. Though she was trying to threaten me, there was no pressure


    behind her words.


    "Evil will not suppress the righteous. I believe they’re not your friends either!"  I gave alight smile and turned to leave.


    From the corner of my eye, I saw Ste slowly making her way over to Trinity.


    I gave a cold snort, convinced that now that Trinity had openly stated she hadn''t taken sides, she simply couldn''t be bothered to do so.


    This information excited me a bit.


    Since Trinity had started contact with me, Ste seemed to lose her grip. How could I use this to my advantage and dent her confidence? I needed to find out why Jared''s people targeted Harmony.
