Chapter 1392 Peace
As he spoke, his lips curled into a playful smile.
She will be mine!
"Well, I can't wait to taste your grilling skills."
Elisa reciprocated with a smile, albeit forced.
Eden gestured an 'OK' sign with his hand, then lowered it and made a 'please' gesture, exuding a
gentlemanly aura.
"Why don't you take a seat first? I'll get started once everything is ready."
And in the next second, Eden devoted himself to preparing for the barbecue. As she watched Eden's
attentive figure, Elisa felt nothing but indifference.
Had she been a naive young girl and not witnessed his ruthless side, she might have been fooled by
his current facade.
At that moment, a call from Terry came through.
Terry spoke with utmost respect over the phone, "Ms. Benett, my brothers have already gathered

downstairs at the hotel where you're staying. You might want to come and see for yourself..."
Elisa was taken aback by their unexpected arrival, seeking her help detoxifying his comrades.
However, the hotel Terry mentioned wasn't the seaside one she currently resided in; it was the city
center hotel that Thomas had booked.

Elisa felt apologetic, "I'm not at the hotel now. I'm at a seaside villa called the Moonlight Coast. If you
come from there, it'll take at least an hour. But by the time you arrive, I'll be just finishing up here."
When she made a promise, she had to fulfill it. Otherwise, she would have no credibility.
"Sure, I'll bring my brothers over now," Terry expressed his unwavering trust in Elisa.
But after he hung up the phone, he faced skepticism from his four comrades.
"Listen up, Terry. I don't trust that woman. Suddenly changing the meeting place is suspicious. She
may be up to something!"
"Guys, let's not be naive. We're in this mess because of her. We should take her down with us if we're

going down!"
"I don't know why you're so distrustful, Old Lace. If Ms. Benett is genuine in helping us detoxify, then
we'll finally be free from this nightmare. We can go back to our families, put all this behind us and live a
normal life."

"I don't know why you're so distrustful, Old Loce. If Ms. Benett is genuine in helping us detoxify, then
we'll finolly be free from this nightmore. We con go bock to our fomilies, put oll this behind us ond live o
normol life."
Terry joined in, sharing his confusion, "Hey, we've been through hell together, Old Lace. We've cheated
death countless times. We know our bodies better than anyone else. Suppose Ms. Benett is truly
offering a chance at detoxification. Why shouldn't we take it and enjoy the freedom and peace we've
been deprived of?"
Old Lace let out a cynical scoff and said, "Guys, you are too naïve! Sooner or later, our boss will know
about the fake Ganoderma Caligo. And when he realizes we've been detoxified, who do you think he'll
suspect? Elisa will be in his crosshairs. If we want to save our lives, following our boss is the only way
out!"
These words hung heavy in the air, leaving the remaining few in contemplative silence, exchanging
glances that spoke volumes about their realization of the harsh reality they faced.
