Chapter 703:
“Can’t you do it?” Ellis’s tone was teasing, almost boyish.
Freya hesitated a beat, then nodded. “I can do it.”
“I'll call him first. Wait half an hour before you plant it,” Ellis instructed. When Ellis decided to prank someone, no
one ever escaped.
Freya couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for Ellis’s friend.
Out of all the reckless things he could’ve done, he just had to go and pick a fight with Ellis. What on earth was he
thinking?
Ellis didn’t bother dodging Freya. Right there in the study, he pulled up his contacts and dialed the paragliding
instructor without a second thought.
The call connected, and Ethan’s unhinged laughter cblaring through the speaker, along with his smug, self-
satisfied voice. “Yo! How about that little tune I left you? Catchy, huh?”
Ellis switched the call to speaker mode. “Feeling proud of yourself?”
“You tell me! Takeout for a fancy meal and say you're sorry. Admit you messed up, and maybe I'll have
someone fix your phone for you. Otherwise, that thing's toast.”

Ellis didn’t say a word. He simply waited, letting Ethan finish strutting around like a peacock.
He knew speople only learned when they were teetering on the edge of disaster.

It never even crossed Ethan’s mind that Ellis had someone on his side who could solve his problem.
Ellis asked, “Where are you right now?”

“North Avenue. Why, coming to beatup?” Ethan sounded positively giddy. “Too bad for you—I'm heading out
soon. No way you're catching me.”
“Mm.” Ellis ended the call.
He did a quick calculation, then told Freya, “Set it to trigger at six. And besides what he just said, add another
line: “Too bad. You can’t catch me. Hahaha."
“That's the paragliding instructor from earlier, right?” Freya thought the voice rang a bell.
Ellis nodded. “Yeah.”
“You toldyou'd only met him a few days before | did.” Freya shot him a look, calling him out without
hesitation.
Ellis answered smoothly, “Let’s just say | never wanted to meet him at all.”
Freya was at a loss for words.

pretty clear. They gre justold

“Yeah.” Ellis added, “And make it sound just as irritating as he does.”

Once done, Ellis messaged the group chat to confirm that he was free tomorrow night.
That evening at six sharp, Ethan was seated at the dinner table with his folks. Just as he lifted his fork, his phone
began to buzz.
