Chapter 1803 Demolition Payment
It was Ellen’s first time in a sports car, hence the nervousness and thrill running
down her spine. I didn’t know Mr. Tillman is loaded.
“Is there anyone else in your family?” Jared initiated a conversation. “No. I’m the
only one,” she replied naturally. “You? Alone?” He looked at her in surprise.
“Yup. I’m all alone. My brother is gone a long time ago, and my grandmother
passed away two weeks ago.” She could not mask the overflowing sorrow.
“I’m sorry for your loss,” he apologized for pricking her sore spot. She shook her
head. “Thank you.”
Ellen’s address was added to the navigation system. She felt guilty to have him
take the long route just to send her home.
When they arrived at her place, his brows furrowed. “Is this where you live?”
“Yeah, it’s my grandmother’s place, but it’ll be demolished soon.”
The corner of Jared’s lips slightly curved upward. If his memories served him
right, that was within the area he planned for demolition.
“Thanks for the ride! Be careful on your way back.” She bent over to bid
goodbye.
He nodded before driving into a street in the rain. It was not until the sports car
vanished from her sight that she finally came back to her senses. Red tinges
crept onto her cheeks, and there was something familiar about that man for
some reason. Despite his sophisticated grace and the social strata difference
between them, she was not afraid of him.
Meanwhile, Jared gave his subordinate a call on his way home. After inquiring
about the demolition area with the address he had, his conjecture hardened into
certainty.
“Why are you there, Mr. Presgrave? That’s the Lockwood Village.”
“My friend needed a ride back home.”
“Your friend lives there?” The subordinate doubted that Jared had a friend living
in such a place.
Meanwhile, at Aguirre Residence, Olivia was worried about her daughter, who
was in low spirits despite going to work every day. So, she decided to chat with
Selena.
