Ian Winters appeared out of nowhere, startling Chloe Sinclair.
But when Jasper Shaw invited her to a meal, she naturally accepted without a second thought.
She slid into the familiar Bentley with practiced ease.
The sleek, black car glided down the long highway.
「Two hours later.」
The Bentley pulled up to Emberfall’s largest five-star hotel.
However, the license plate was so conspicuous that many passersby couldn’t help but turn their heads for a second look.
"Holy shit, am I seeing things? A license plate that’s just 888? Their luck must be insane to win that in the lottery."
"No way. A plate that flashy had to have been bought for a fortune. And did you see the car? That’s a limited-edition Bentley. You can’t just buy one of those, even if you have the money."
Soon, more and more people started pulling out their phones to take pictures.
Jasper Shaw sat inside the car. Even though he couldn’t hear what people were saying outside, his mood soured.
"Ian, drive into the parking garage."
"Yes, sir."
The Bentley’s engine, which had just been shut off, started up again, and the car slowly drove into the adjacent underground garage.
Inside the car, Chloe Sinclair raised an eyebrow, unable to contain her curiosity. "The 888 plate... did you win it in the lottery or buy it for a high price?"
Jasper Shaw might not have been able to hear them, but with Chloe Sinclair’s exceptionally sharp hearing, she had heard every word from the crowd outside the car.
The passersby had been curious, and so was she. Her lovely eyes were fixed on Jasper Shaw.
Jasper Shaw’s expression remained unchanged, but his voice was deep as he asked, "You want to know?"
His voice was unique, unlike anyone else’s. It had a magnetic quality that always sent a pleasant tingle through Chloe Sinclair.
Touching her ear, Chloe Sinclair nodded vigorously, like a little chick pecking at grain.
At this, Jasper Shaw let out a soft, clearly amused laugh. "Regulations are so strict these days. Mr. Shaw is a law-abiding citizen, so of course the plate was won in the lottery."
