Kane got the hint and followed Susanna across the room.
The Smiths were waving him over. They were long-time neighbors and often held barbecues together,
sharing a bond as tight as family.
William, sensing Kane's potential discomfort, quickly introduced himself to Susanna, "Hi, Susanna. I'm
Keith, William's brother. Great to meet you."
"Hi, Keith," Susanna replied with a friendly smile, and they all went over to greet Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Kane would have struggled without William's assistance.
Leopold was unfazed by his son making online friends. After all, he was a whiz with computers.
But William's rapport with Susanna seemed unusual, almost as if they were more acquainted than
Kane was. Could William also be one of Susanna's online pals?
Skyler, sitting beside him, sipped on his juice, also sensing something off.
Why did William call himself Keith? When Susanna had greetings, it had caught Skyler off guard.
After all, William had grown up abroad and had many friends there.
Usually, online friends didn't greet each other so warmly when meeting in person.
Nina, bobbing her head to the music, said, "I've got online friends too. I even run a fan club group."
"I know, it's the fan club for Avery Hawthorne," Mira teased, sticking out her tongue playfully.
Nina covered her mouth, giggling. She planned to take advantage of the school break to create more

Following a hearty meal of pizza, they returned to the Stirling Mansion.
The kids were soon tucked away in their rooms.
William patted his chest in relief, "Man, that was close. I thought for sure we'd be busted."
Thankfully, their quick thinking had saved the day.
"Do you think Uncle Leopold suspects anything?" he asked.
Kane stroked his chin, "Dad seemed cool about it. No suspicions, I guess. I told him she's just an
online friend."
William exhaled, returning his excitement, "I can't believe Susanna's here in Elysium. This is
awesome."
"You must miss your friends back in Goldstone," Kane remarked.
Nodding, William said, "Yeah, I do. I worry they'll forget about me if they make new friends."
Kane clapped him on the shoulder, "How about next summer we both head to Goldstone? We can ask
Mom and Dad to take us. I'd love to see where you used to live."
Though only older by half an hour, Kane always played the role of the protective older brother.
"Sounds good," William agreed.
Meanwhile, in another room.
A sharp glint of suspicion flashed in Leopold's eyes.
William! Susanna had shouted William today.
He was certain it was William. Perhaps it was an online alias that coincidentally matched William's?

Why had William lied about his name being Keith? Was that an alias too?
Even if Kane had ventured out alone, his bodyguards would have reported back to him.
But this was Susanna's first visit to Elysium, making a prior meeting impossible.
