Chapter 872:
Realizing Elyse was open to returning, Pearce secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “I was really worried you'd never
cback once you went overseas.”
Hearing this, Elyse chuckled. “I never said | was planning to settle abroad, did 1? Pearce, don’t worry so much.”
Pearce exhaled. “I know there's not much for you in Lesbourg. If you choose to settle somewhere tranquil, |
guess I'll have to travel abroad to see you.”
Elyse answered helplessly, “Don’t talk like that. You're one of the reasons | might stay.”
“Given that, once you're done enjoying your tabroad, cback soon. I'd love to introduce you to my
friends. | must commend you for your talents before them!” Pearce’s voice was cheerful.

“Alright,” Elyse said with a smile.
Pearce responded, “I have to go now. There's something | need to handle.”
Elyse nodded and ended the call.
As soon as the conversation finished, Pearce looked up and found Felicia gazing at him expectantly.
Felicia was seated in a conservatory, cradling a cup of hot tea. She inquired eagerly, “So, what did Elyse tell you?
When is she coming back?”
Under Felicia’s intense scrutiny, Pearce felt slightly awkward. He rubbed his face and shifted uncomfortably.
Finally, he couldn't keep it in any longer and said, “She said she’s not returning for now. She wants to stay
abroad a bit longer.”
Felicia responded with a soft “Oh,” then muttered, “It's good for her to explore for a while. She must have felt
very confined preparing for the competition. She’s still young. It’s beneficial for her to experience life
elsewhere.”
After her musing, she questioned again, “Does she have enough money? How much savings does she have? Is it
enough to cover her expenses?”
Pearce hadn't inquired about this, so he honestly replied, “I'm not sure about her finances.”
Felicia immediately becupset and slammed the table. “You're a terrible cousin. She doesn’t have a job or a
boyfriend. She's all alone abroad with such high expenses, and you haven't even thought about supporting her
financially. What kind of family are we?”

Pearce was at a loss for words. He had indeed forgotten, but he acknowledged his oversight. He quickly said,
“Grandma, don’t be upset. I'll send her smoney right away.”
Elyse leaned against the wall, momentarily lost in her thoughts, when her phone suddenly buzzed. She picked it
up and saw a hefty sum had just landed in her account.
She counted the zeros, her mind drifting into a fog. Why on earth had Pearce transferred her so much money?
She was about to shoot him a text to ask when his message popped up first.
It read, “Consider this my sponsorship for your trip. Spend it however you like, and if it's not enough, just ask me
for more.”
Elyse couldn't help but chuckle after reading his words. She quickly typed back, “Thank you, Pearce. I'll happily
take it!” Pearce replied with a smug emoji.
