Shortly after, Elva and Gerard entered the living room, engrossed in conversation.

Jenna chuckled and said, "It seems Elva and Gerard have much to talk about."

"Indeed. Gerard is quite knowledgeable. I can learn a lot from him,"

Elva shyly remarked. "Those insights can enrich my books."

Gerard replied casually, "“Lilah is also quite knowledgeable. You should chat with her when you have the time."

Elva glanced at Lilah skeptically, doubting Gerard's words.

Deep down, she looked down on Lilah.

To Elva, company CEQs focused solely on business; Lilah, in her opinion, should excel in drinking, negotiating, and signing contracts rather than literature.

When Gerard suggested that Elva learn from Lilah, Elva perceived it as a mere superficial judgment based on appearances.

Disdain filled Elva's heart. Then, coming up with an idea, she smiled and sat beside Lilah. "I didn't know that you were knowledgeable, too, Lilah. I heard that you lived in Mirello for several years; you must be an expert in the language and culture of that country, right? I'd love to learn more about it."

Nodding, Lilah replied, "Sure, what would you like to know? Please, ask away."

Deliberately, Elva spoke in a Mirellian dialect she had studied during her time there. She assumed someone as uninformed as Lilah wouldn't comprehend it.

After hearing her questions, Lilah replied to her.

Elva was taken aback, gazing at Lilah in a daze.

Lilah lifted an eyebrow and asked, “Can't you understand it? Didn't you speak one of the dialects in Mirello to me? I thought you were an expert in it."

Embarrassment flushed Elva's cheeks. She realized she only knew a little about the language, while Lilah spoke it fluently, highlighting the gap between them. Inwardly cursing her oversight, Elva hadn't expected Lilah to be so proficient in the language.

"Ah, that dialect is known only in a specific town. I learned a few lines from the locals. It's alright. Let's discuss other things. Do you have any insights into the royal family of Mirello? When I studied there, a classmate of mine was a distant relative of the royal family. She shared a few stories, and I'm eager to learn more details."

Elva spoke with modesty, yet her pride was evident as her classmate was a royal relative. Elva sought to display her uniqueness, presuming Lilah lacked knowledge about the royal family.

Jenna, who overheard their conversation, was impressed. Initially viewing Elva as a studious individual, she was surprised by Elva's connection to royalty.

Jenna felt excited and wished to demonstrate Elva's capabilities to Brenda, hoping it might facilitate Elva's relationship with Gerard.

Meanwhile, Lilah paused to consider before responding, "I'm not well-versed in that area either. However, if you're interested, I can share what little I do know."

"Oh? Where did you hear those things from?" Elva asked.

"One of my friends is a royal prince."

Upon hearing this, Gerard narrowed his gaze, wondering if Lilah was referring to Andrew.
