Chapter 276

Lucy called Stella to capture fish from the sea.

As Lucy called out to Stella, urging her to join in the endeavor of capturing fish from the sea, Eva, still embodying the guise of Stella, found herself caught off guard by Lucy's suspicious gaze. With a quick glance exchanged between them, Eva realized she needed to think fast to maintain her cover.

Gathering her wits, Eva feigned innocence as she inquired about the whereabouts of the fishing rod, hoping to deflect Lucy's scrutiny. Yet Lucy's raised eyebrow betrayed her skepticism, prompting Eva to quickly concoct a plausible explanation.

With a forced smile, Eva explained that she had assumed they would need a fishing rod to supplement their efforts in capturing fish from the traps. However, as Lucy questioned the necessity of such equipment, Eva's facade began to crack under the weight of her deception.
