"Why didn't you pick up the phone?"
Just as Sophia's words fell, Ella answered the phone.
Filbert's voice came through: "Ella, let's meet tonight."
Ella pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
"You'll be staying this time for a year. If you need anything, just ask me. The Fisher Family has quite a bit of influence in Sheffield City."
"Thank you."
The two hung up the phone after exchanging a few words.
Sophia had been staring at Ella since she answered the phone: "Was that Filbert?"
"Yeah, meeting tonight."
Sophia said, "When you meet, be sure to keep things in check."
Ella replied, "I won't let myself be trapped by marriage troubles before fulfilling my dreams."
Sophia nodded, "You're still young, just wait a few more years."
"Mm."
"The Slaughter Squad is in the Stephens Family, stay away."
Ella's expression flickered, "I know."

Fisher Family.
After hanging up the phone, Filbert hesitated for a moment and then called to make a reservation for dinner.
