Mrs. Murphy stood where she was, waving and watching him leave.
It was not until his car was out of sight that she put her hands down and turned and entered the old house.
In the car, Jared looked in the rearview mirror until the house was out of sight.
He then rolled up the window, picked up Amber's phone, and called her.
At Goldstone Co., Amber had been waiting for Jared to arrive.
It was half an hour before seven o'clock, and Jared hadn't arrived, which made her wonder if he hadn't finished seeing his grandmother or had been held up by something else on the way.
Amber hesitated for a few seconds and was about to call Jared when her cell phone, which was sitting on her desk, rang.
As she looked around and saw Jared bouncing across the screen, she smiled, grabbed her phone, and held it to her ear.
“Hey!” “Sorry to have kept you waiting.
I had a long talk with my grandmother.” Jared said.
Amber shook her head, “No, grandma comes first, and besides, it’s not time yet.
Are you done talking to grandma now?” Amber asked.
“Yeah.” Jared said, “I just left the old house.
I'll be there in less than twenty minutes.” “Twenty minutes?” Amber raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “Are you kidding me? The old house is in the mountain, far from the city, you just came out, and it will take at least an hour and a half, how can you get here in twenty minutes? If you think it’s too late, I'll just let Mrs. Lyon know we'll be there later.
Don't drive too fast to get here in time.
It's dangerous.” Even if he drove very fast, he could not arrive in less than twenty minutes, but at least he could arrive a little earlier.
So, she was worried he would do it.
What if something went wrong? Speeding was one of the biggest causes of traffic accidents.
Hearing the concern and disapproval in Amber's voice, Jared chuckled, “Don't worry, I won't go fast.
I have my own way.
I said I'd be there in 10 minutes, and I'll be there, trust me.” “What can you do?” Amber was curious.
Jared was so secretive about it, “You'll see.
All right, I'll see you in less than wenty minutes.” Then he hung up the phone.
Amber had more to say but it was stuck in her throat.
She shook her head and laughed at the screen that had turned back to the main menu.
“All right, well, I'll just wait and see if you show up in less than twenty minutes.” Don't be bragging.
Or he was gonna be embarrassed.
Amber mumbled, put the phone down, and headed to the bathroom.
On the other side of the Cloudy Hill private road, Jared pulled over and got out of his car and looked up into the sky.
After watching for about a minute, the sky suddenly heard the sound of a spiral machine turning, and getting closer and closer.
Then a silver-white luxury helicopter appeared in the sky.
The helicopter went from far to near and finally hovered about 10 feet above Jared's head.
Jared looked at the helicopter and gestured.
The next, the door of the helicopter opened and a ladder was suddenly thrown out.
Then a man ina bodyguard’s uniform poked his head out the door, nodded at Jared, grabbed the ladder, and stepped off the helicopter.
“Mr. Farrell.” The bouncer jumped down the ladder, walked over to Jared, and saluted.
Jared nodded and gave him his car keys, “Take the car back to the Farrell Group.” “Okay.” The bodyguard took the key and answered.
Jared ignored him and walked past him to the helicopter ladder.
