The caller was his side chick, Aida. For the past year, she treated him like trash and threatened him to give her money by using his son. If Connor refused to give her money, she would not allow him to visit his son.
Luckily for him, Olivia had not known about Connor’s affair yet. Otherwise, life would be harder for him. The most important right now was welcoming Selena, who would get out of prison in three days.
After the award ceremony, Ellen returned to the hotel with the others. Everyone was thrilled because they had returned with fruitful results.
When they had dinner together, they discussed whether they should stay and have fun in Averna before going back. Since Brook had a place he could stay for the long term, he asked Ellen, “Do you want to stay here, Ellie? You have already achieved your goal. Next, it’s time for you to find someone and start a family.”
“I still haven’t thought about it yet, Mr. Linton.” Ellen smiled. It went without saying that she was excited because winning the championship was the highlight of her life.
At that moment, the chairman of the team got a phone call. Then, he quickly said to Brook and Ellen in excitement, “Mr. Linton, Ellie, the TV station just called and wanted to invite you guys for an interview.”
When Ellen heard his words, she was shocked. Brook looked at her and asked, “Do you want to go, Ellie?” “I…” Ellen didn’t know. She didn’t mind the
cameras when she played chess. However, she would be nervous if she was being interviewed live. “Just go! Take the opportunity and be famous when you are still young!” one of them suggested.
“Yeah! What are you afraid of, Ellie? You are even more beautiful than most celebrities.” In the end, Ellen agreed to it. Since the staff from the TV station kept urging them, she and Brook would be interviewed on live TV that Friday.
At the secretary department of Presgrave Group, Stanley had finally finished his job. He decided to take a break and watched his favorite show-the chess tournament held at Averna. He had wanted to watch it but didn’t have the spare time since he had been busy the past few days.
Now, he had finished his job and was ready to enjoy himself. When he opened the VOD and saw the players’ names, he saw a person called Ellen. Before seeing the actual player, Stanley thought it was someone with the same name as Ellen. Then, he clicked on Ellen’s match.
As he clicked on the edited video, the players were seated while the cameraman gave them a close-up. At that moment, Stanley almost jumped out of his chair in shock when he saw the woman. Although the woman wore glasses, Stanley could still recognize it was Ellen!
Oh god! This is not a coincidence! She is actually Ellen! Stanley was thrilled as he thought about it. Then, he took out his phone and dialed Jared’s number, wanting to tell him about the news.
“Hello.” A tired voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Stanley decided to surprise him. After all, it wouldn’t be much fun if he directly told Jared that Ellen had taken part in the chess tournament. He wanted Jared to see it for himself!
“President Jared, I have some great news to tell you. Go and watch the chess tournament that was held in Averna when you have the time. Maybe you will find the person you have always been looking for.” “Who is it?”
“I’ll keep it a secret. Find out for yourself!” Stanley chuckled and hung up the phone. Although he was dying to spill the beans, he still suppressed the urge. After Jared hung up the phone, Stanley texted and urged him. ‘You must go and take a look!” he wrote.
Jared sat at the back of the car. After he had ended the call with Stanley, he had another business call. It was a discussion about a recent investment proposal. Soon, Jared went back to work. When he finally returned home, it was already 9.00PM.
As soon as he entered the living room, he took off his suit, revealing a dark shirt that showed his perfect figure. Then, he walked toward the refrigerator and took out a glass of ice before retrieving a bottle of whiskey, after which he poured himself a drink.
After that, he returned to the sofa and drank some of it before closing his eyes tiredly. Suddenly, Stanley’s words flashed across his mind. Then, he took the remote control and turned on the TV.
