When the TV showed the special highlight from the chess tournament, Jared scrolled through it with


    curiosity. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something. His eyes widened as he stared at a name.


    Ellen? Why is her name on the list? Jared knew there was no mistake. It was Ellen’s name. At that


    moment, he returned to his senses and quickly clicked on her name to rewatch her match.


    When the screen switched scenes, Ellen’s beautiful face unfolded right before his eyes. Looking at her,


    he stood up in bewilderment. He couldn’t believe he would find Ellen, the woman who had disappeared


    for one and a half years, this way.


    Ellen had changed a lot. Jared could tell that she was more mature. At the match, she wasn’t wearing


    anything ssy, sporting a in turtleneck, looking sharp. When the camera zoomed in on her, she


    didn’t cower away, looking like a porcin doll.


    Immediately, Jared grabbed his phone and dialed Stanley’s number. “Stanley.”


    “Yes, Mr. Presgrave.” “How did you find her?” “It looks like you have watched it. Except for work, I love


    to y chess. Hence, I knew a chess tournament would be right around the corner. Since I have


    nothing much to do, I watched the video and saw Miss Reiss.”


    “Is… Is she still in Averna? Which hotel is she at?” Jared suppressed the excitement in his voice.


    “Are you going to see her tonight, Mr. Presgrave? It’s already 10.00PM, though. Why don’t we meet her


    tomorrow morning?” Stanley suggested.


    “Do you think I can wait until tomorrow? I want to know which hotel she stays in within ten minutes.”


    Jared wouldn’t give him the time to ck off.


    Hearing his words, Stanley shook his head and smiled. Fortunately, he had done some. research


    beforehand and replied, “I have already checked that. I’ll send the address to you right away. I’m sure


    you know Miss Reiss is the champion, right?”


    “What?” ‘Don’t you know about it?” “Really?” “Yes. I just watched herst match. It was amazing. She is


    truly gifted as a chess yer.”

    When Jared heard his words, he felt a pang in his chest. Does that mean more men will like her? Will


    she be popr around people? A sudden rush of jealousy surged toward his heart as he thought about


    the possibilities.


    After a while, Stanley hung up the phone and sent him the address, including Ellen’s room number.


    Immediately, Jared grabbed his coat and quickly rushed to the garage. He didn’t want to wait any


    longer. At that moment, all he wanted to do now was to find her and ask about her sudden departure.


    That was enough to make him look for her!


    As themppost shone its light, a sports car dashed through the road as fast as lightning. On the other


    hand, at the hotel, Ellen had taken a bath and was sitting on the couch, looking at the trophy on the


    table.


    Looking at it, she thought about a familiar face. She wanted to see Jared but had no reason to do so.


    After all, he had nevere looking for her when she left without saying anything for an entire year.


    That meant that they were over.


    Thinking about it, she turned her head to look. outside the window. The neon lights were shining


    brightly. Is there a woman beside him now? I wonder if she’s the same woman that I heard of before I


    left.


    At this moment, the doorbell rang. Ellen believed it was the hotel staff since she had ordered a te of


    fruits. Thus, she stood up and opened the door without much thought.


    However, it wasn’t the hotel staff who stood before her, but a man who was panting. He was leaning


    against the doorframe, seemingly out of breath. When Ellen saw who he was, her pupils constricted.


    You. It’s you. In that split second, the duo looked at each other without saying a word.
