Chapter 572 572: Do You Want Me To Compete With Him?
Lilith drew back her hands and clenched her cold fingers.
"Did his leader tell you this news?" But Cassie thought it was impossible because it was confidential information.
Lilith shook her head and replied, "I can't contact him for a long time, so I went to the Anti-drug center to find his leader. However, I got no information from him, and he just comforted me not to be worried. But when I intended to leave and passed through an office, I heard someone say they couldn't get in touch with Jay."
Speaking of this, Lilith's eyes turned tearful, and then she looked at Cassie, "I heard it personally."
Cassie was also flurried when she heard of this.
"Have you told this news to Irish?"
Lilith shook her head, and her tears shed down, "I don't want her to be worried. You know she is also occupied by those pictures."
Cassie sighed and nodded.
But soon Lilith wiped her tears and said firmly, "I have decided to go to Florida in person.
Cassie was stunned by her words violently. "What?"
"What if an accident occurred to him? I must find him in Florida, and I can't wait anymore."
Cassie perceived her seriousness and felt worried, "You can't go there. Do you know where Jay is? Can you protect yourself? Even if something occurred to him, can you help him? You will make trouble for him if he is in a critical position."
Lilith was silent and began to cry.
"Well, don't cry." Cassie took a tissue for her and helped her to wipe her tears while comforting her, "I can understand you, but now you can't act rashly. Think about how dangerous it was for you, a delicate girl, to find him in Florida alone. What if an accident occurred to you if you couldn't find him? You may encounter these drug traffickers, and you may lose your life. You must have seen such news before."
Lilith burst into tears immediately.

Irish came to the countryside of New York with Leo and Adam. It was the first time Irish and Leo had come here, but Adam had climbed the rock here before, and he thought it was a good place with beautiful scenery for rock climbing.
It was in the winter, and they couldn't see the beautiful scenery, but it was good to look down halfway up a hill.
It was more dangerous to climb a mountain in winter, and it had a higher requirement for the climber's physical strength.
Adam didn't choose a mountain with too much difficulty coefficient but chose a position with a gentle slope. When they were preparing the equipment, Leo took two bottles of water and threw one of them to Irish while saying, "You didn't tell me he would come with us."
"Adam is good at rock climbing and dare not to come out with you without him." Irish took a sip of water and replied.
Leo was dissatisfied with her words and sat beside her, staring carefully at her.
"What are you looking at?"
Leo pouted his mouth and said, "You said his name is Adam. Is he your ex-boyfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense. They just have the same name."
"But what a coincidence that he enjoys rock climbing and also likes you. Don't tell me that he is not wooing you." Leo said frankly.
Irish smiled and replied, "That's why I asked you to go out with me together."
"Do you want me to compete with him? Irish, you have to pick a sport that I am good at, and I will definitely be defeated in rock climbing." Leo raised his eyebrows.
"You think too much." Irish giggled and put her hands on his shoulder, "There are two goals to asking you out."
Leo didn't reply to her but waited. "I must overcome my psychological block, but I don't hope he will misunderstand me, so you have to go out with me. And the second goal is that I am trying to cure your acrophobia while at the same time I hope you could be my ally." Irish explained to him.
Leo was at a loss whether to smile or laugh, "Irish, you are good at considering yourself, and others even have to extend appreciation to you."
"I really care about you. You have acrophobia, so you have to overcome it." Irish said seriously.
Leo had no choice but made a compromise, "Okay. Then talk with me about the ally."
Irish drew back her hands and sighed slightly, "I have a hunch that Joseph will find his existence someday. In fact, we are innocent, and I have told him clearly that we are impossible to be with each other though he is wooing me. And have no choice but to go out this time, but you are here with me, so if he finds out the truth someday, you can be the witness for me."
Now that you have known the result, why are you still hiding it from Joseph?"
"Though Joseph said nothing before, I can feel he cared about my past story with Adam. Of course, I mean the Adam I knew before. But now, when he appeared for the first time, I have chosen to lie to Joseph, and now I have to keep this lie, though I don't want to tell a lie to him again." Irish clenched her fingers and asked, "Leo, you won't tell Joseph, will you?"
Leo glared at her and replied, "I am not a gossiper."
"Then you choose to stand by me?"
Leo stared at her but answered beyond question, "You know I also like you."
"It makes no sense to say this now."
Leo made a compromise and replied, "Okay. I promise I will stand by you."
"That's better."
Adam also had prepared, and after finishing dressing up, he took another two sets of equipment to them. He didn't show great passion to Leo since he saw that Irish chatted with him intimately.
But he still squatted and checked the equipment for Irish while urging her repeatedly.
Leo patted Adam's shoulders and said, "Man, you have to be clear that I am the person who will climb the rock for the first time."
Adam was a little bit embarrassed while Irish suppressed a smile.
Adam began to teach Leo how to climb the rock. He gave a casque to Leo and told him the importance of it. On the one hand, rockfall occurred frequently, and on the other hand, the head was a risk of landing first during the process of climbing.
"I have prepared the hanger of Keith. Irish, have you used this kind of hanger before?" Adam asked.
Irish nodded.
