Chapter 429

• Tedmond knew Lisa too well to be mistaken. After all, she had cosplayed in the past, and he had saved every look and photo on his phone to revisit later. Even if she was dressed in a bunny suit for amusement parks, he would still recognize her.
• Studying her more closely as she entered the restaurant with the others, he picked up on the subtle cues—the careful distance she kept, the faint tension in her posture, the quick, almost imperceptible glance she gave Evelyn before relaxing. This wasn’t just a change of style.
• His mind clicked. The interaction, the timing, the way she tried to blend in… it was a disguise. Lisa wasn’t just altering her appearance; she was hiding in plain sight.
