Ethan, with his usual playful tone, quipped, "Looks like Lysander's playing the generous host tonight, or else how would we get a piece of the pie?" Hertha let out a laugh and said, "Since you are no longer interested in our designs, Mr. Sinclair, perhaps we shouldn't waste any more of your time."

She maintained a professional, fake smile, her round, sparkling eyes cheerfully looking at Lysander. Her words clearly suggested it was time for Lysander to leave.

or being careless. She was tirelessly seeking out doctors to cure Lysander's ailment. Yet, as soon as Lysander got better, he had Thalassa ousted from Royal Estates without so much as a goodbye. He was not even willing to see her face.

Hertha felt it was unjust for Thalassa, feeling a sense of indignation on her behalf. So, her mind was filled with bias while seeing Lysander.
