Upon hearing his words, Neera also found them a bit strange.

“But what could the Medicina family be planning if they have hidden motives? Besides, Mr. Medicina has always been sincere
towards me. If he truly wanted to do something, there would be no need for him to wait until now...”
Shane nodded, glancing at the few people who were planning a counterattack.
“I’m not sure if the Medicina family has hidden motives or if they genuinely have no interest in the district president. I don’t know
Caleb well, but he has had a good reputation over the years. He is a non-competitive man who avoids trouble. The Medicina
family is also fully dedicated to the field of medicine. If they suddenly have the urge to help the Gordon family, that would be the
best outcome. We would definitely remember their kindness. However...”
“We should not have ill intentions towards others, but we must also be cautious of those who might harm us. We don’t know the
Medicina family well, and it’s difficult to understand their intentions. Moreover, the two families have different levels of power. I
know it may sound paranoid, but it’s better to stay vigilant.”
Next, he brought up a point that he was particularly concerned about.
“Furthermore, some of the people the Medicina family brought with them don’t seem to be part of the Medicina family itself. Luna
and Darcel, their skills are not something inherited within the Medicina family. But I’ve never heard of the Medicina family joining
forces with any other family. So, what exactly is the identity of these people?”
Neera understood what he meant.
“I understand. I will be cautious.”
Shane let out a deep sigh. “This election has everyone on edge. It would be better if it ended soon.”
Neera nodded thoughtfully, her gaze falling on the group of people engrossed in discussion.
As she recalled Shane’s words, she also became distracted from the situation over there.
Gradually, she noticed something strange.
Even though Caleb was clearly the leade
seemed more like the main figure...
of the Medicina family, she couldn’t help but feel that Dargel, somehow,
Once everything was settled, Caleb pulled Darcel aside.
“Do you need something?” Darcel responded with his usual indifference.
Caleb raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Garcia and Shane were watching you the whole time you were making arrangements. I wonder
what they were talking about.”
Upon hearing this, a slight movement flickered across Darcel’s eyebrows, but he remained silent.
Caleb leaned against a rock, a blade of foxtail grass dangling from his mouth that he had picked up from somewhere, looking
every bit like a carefree and idle young nobleman.
“I’m thinking, Shane probably wants your precious fiancée to be wary of us. After all, you are officially representing the Medicina
family now. Yet, you are so devoted to her, always attentive, and even go out of your way to protect her. It wouldn’t be surprising
if Shane suspects that you have hidden motives.”
Darcel glanced towards the Gordon family and immediately found Neera in the crowd. Seeing her sipping some water, he
paused for two seconds before shifting his gaze away.
“So what?”
Caleb turned his head to look at him. “You seem to not care about anything. Of course, the Gordon family wouldn’t do anything to
the Medicina family. At most, they would just be a bit cautious. However, I don’t think Ms. Garcia sees it the same way. Don’t
think I didn’t notice earlier, but the way she looks at you is completely different from before. Perhaps you have done too much
and revealed something? Maybe she already suspects you.”
Darcel leaned against a large rock with one leg bent, and his arm casually draped around his leg. His ordinary face was resolute
and indifferent, yet his gaze was profound, his expression inscrutable.
“She won’t recognize me,” he said.
Caleb was confused. “I heard you two had a falling out? Was it because of the things that were posted online? Haven’t you made
up yet? Is that why you chose to be with her in this way? Isn’t that unnecessary? I don’t think she’s the type to hold grudges.
From the way she looked at you just now, she probably wishes you were him. Can you bear to disappoint her? Even if the truth
comes out, it wouldn’t be a big deal, right?”
Upon hearing this, Darcel recalled the phone call he received after arriving in District Twenty-One.
Recalling what she said...
“We have reconciled, and there are no hard feelings anymore.”
“There you go!” Caleb tossed aside the foxtail grass. “So what’s holding you back?”
Darcel stood up. “My identity could bring her trouble. I cannot reveal myself until everything is settled.”
Caleb sighed. “Given your status, it’s not impossible for you to protect her. Besides, people are bound to find out sooner or later,
so why make things so complicated?”
Darcel’s gaze was deep. “For now, it’s better to leave things as they are to avoid unnecessary complications.”
Caleb gave in. “Alright then, you have your own reasons, so do as you wish. It seems you truly cherish her, huh. Tsk tsk, I never
thought I’d see the day when you’d fall deeply in love...
