As Lambert entered the car, he grabbed Corey’s shoulder blade and whispered, ‘Bring her luggage to my place, or your parents will know what you’ve done today.”
“You’re brutal, dude, barked Corey. After seeing Lambert off, he hailed a cab to return to the hotel. He did not expect the day he would see his indifferent cousin be infatuated with a woman to come.
Meanwhile, Jared’s face fell upon the bodyguards’ return to the Presgrave Group. “You had one job, and you failed me.”
“There were too many cabs on the road at the same time. We got the wrong one.” The bodyguard felt helpless because it was too late back then.
Jared heaved a heavy breath. “Look into the license number and contact the driver. Find out where she went. Just track her down!”
The authoritative tone proved how distressed he was. She’s way too emotional at the moment. What if she happens to pass by a lake and think of something silly?
He could not bring himself to think further. about it. The Aguirre Family was merciless to sever their relationship without considering. Ellen’s emotions and livelihood.
Through the black box recorder of their car, the bodyguards soon contacted the driver. However, he kept his lips tight. It was not until they revealed that Ellen showed suicidal tendencies that the surprised driver blurted the hotel’s location. As such, the bodyguards dashed to the hotel thereafter.
On the other hand, Ellen, who was in Lambert’s car, thought he was going to take her to the hotel. Yet, he drove the car into the garage of a huge mansion. “Mr. Orey, I thought you were going to send me to the hotel,” she questioned.
“The doctor said you need a few days of rest. The hotel is inappropriate for that. You can stay here instead.” “No, the hotel is better!” She refused.
“Do you think I’m a bad guy? Relax. I’m famous for my chivalry.” He then opened the car door for her. “You don’t have to be afraid, Miss Reiss.”
The second she got out of the car, a pang of dizziness caught her off-guard, after which he held her shoulders. ‘Are you okay?” “I’m dizzy.” Ellen could barely speak.
“It seems like it has been a hard day for you. Your injuries are making it worse. Stay. I’ll look after you. Lambert was too worried to let her go.
She could not leave even if she wanted to as she had nowhere to go, and her circumstances were not helping. In hindsight, she accepted his offer. Ill just stay for two days, Mr. Orey. Sorry for the trouble.”
“I don’t mind you staying for a week or two.” He helped her to the living room. “Let’s go to the couch. You need to rest. Corey will bring over your luggage later on.”
Squirming on the couch like a frail kitten, she shut her eyes to get some rest while he covered a thin blanket on her.
In the meantime, the bodyguards arrived at the hotel to inquire about Ellen’s check-in record, yet her name was missing from the list. “Are you looking for a girl in a white shirt?”
“Yes. Have you seen her?” “She was sent to the hospital after meeting at car accident. A man left with her luggage a while ago.”
‘Do you have any video of the accident? We’re her friends.”
“Yes. Hold on. The receptionist contacted the security guards to obtain the footage that recorded the car accident until the arrival of the ambulance.
The bodyguards called Jared as soon as they acquired the footage. “Mr. Presgrave, Miss Reiss met an accident and was taken to the hospital. I’ll forward the footage to you right now.”
