Chapter 787 Visiting Elizabeth


    J and her bodyguard continued to walk on. In order to lure Jorge out, they made sure to walk


    towards a dead end.


    But even after waiting for a few minutes, he didn''t show up.


    J looked back, only to find that Jorge was already gone.


    This meant that he didn''t follow them.


    The bodyguard went back in search of Jorge. Shortly afterward, she returned and said, "That guy is


    cunning. Seems like he saw through our n and ran away."


    "Perhaps I was acting too obvious just now." J was annoyed. However, Jorge''s sudden


    emergence here took her by surprise. It was difficult for her to pretend like she didn''t see him.


    "It seemed as though this wasn''t his first time following us." The bodyguard rubbed her chin. "If he


    hadn''t been following us too closely, I wouldn''t even have noticed him."


    J got goosebumps. "I now understand why we haven''t been able to track him. It turns out that


    Jorge has been following me around this whole time. Brandon thought that with you around, I will be


    safe from harm, which is why he didn''t send too many men to protect me. And Jorge took


    advantage of it."


    J didn''t like the idea of having too many bodyguards around her, which was why Brandon sent


    just one bodyguard to protect her, so as not to disturb her daily life and work.


    He must not have anticipated that Jorge would use it to his advantage.


    "I''ll report this to Mr. Larson. For now, I think we can rest assured. I believe that Jorge won''t be


    following us around for the time being now that he knows we know. He must''ve gone somewhereContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    else already."


    J bite her lower lip, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down. She then turned to her


    bodyguard and asked, "Do I look calm enough? I''m worried that Elizabeth might notice something


    off about me when she sees me. She must be thinking that she had finally escaped from Jorge. If


    she finds out that Jorge appeared nearby, she''ll be scared out of her wits."


    The bodyguard looked around cautiously again, and said, "You look fine. Let''s go upstairs, Mrs.


    Larson."


    Unbeknownst to her, there was a man drinking a bottle of water in a convenience store a hundred


    meters away from them.


    He put down the bottle, wiped his lips, and looked ahead with a sneer.


    It was Jorge.


    When he noticed that J looked around seconds ago, he realized that they must''ve spotted him.


    Because of that, he ran away and hid himself at the convenience store.


    He meant J no harm. She was Brandon''s wife. Hurting her would only invite trouble for himself.


    His goal was Elizabeth all along, the bitch who turned him in to the police!


    It was clear to him that she was close friends with J. She would certainly tell J about her


    new address. Following that logic, he gathered that as long as he followed J, he''d be able to


    find Elizabeth.


    "Does she think she can get rid of me by moving? How naive of her!" he muttered under his breath.


    ******


    Most of the blocks in this neighborhood had been built for decades, and they had no elevators.


    Fortunately, Elizabeth lived on the third floor.


    J knocked on the door, and it was opened shortly afterward.


    Elizabeth was delighted to know that J was her visitor. "I was actually just wondering when


    you''ll have the time to visit me!"


    Uncertain of how to exin, J stammered, "We, uh... we had dinner just now."


    "I see," replied Elizabeth. It seemed that she was doing much better than before. "You had dinner?


    My aunt and I had been wanting to cook dinner for you."


    J was stunned to hear that.


    She scratched the back of her head and awkwardly replied, "You know what? I guess it''s fine. We''re


    not that full yet."


    Elizabeth nodded affirmatively, letting J into the room. "Come! I''ll introduce you to my aunt."


    Upon entering the room, J saw a woman in her fifties, sitting on the sofa and folding a nket.


    Seeing that Elizabeth came in with J, she paused and said, "Well, this is a surprise. Elizabeth


    has never brought any friends here. Do you happen to like pumpkin pie? It will be out of the oven


    soon."


    J thought that Elizabeth''s family would be just like her, and she was pleasantly surprised to see


    that her aunt was such a kind and nurturing soul.


    Just then, a ding was heard from the kitchen, and the smell of pumpkin pie spread across the room.


    "Yes! It''s finally ready. Kids, go to the table and have a seat. I''ll take it out now." Elizabeth''s aunt


    smiled brightly. Her kind, elderly presence was a joy to behold.


    She asked Elizabeth, J, and the bodyguard to sit at the table before heading into the kitchen.


    J wanted to help her, but the older woman politely refused her help.


    Elizabeth shook her head at J. "That''s just how she is. Let her be."


    While they were at the table, J looked around and noticed that Elizabeth''sptop was on. There


    was a half-finished draft of her design on the screen.


    After taking a sip of the tea, she looked at Elizabeth''sptop and asked, "Why are you still working?


    You should take some time off and recuperate."


    Elizabeth ran her fingers along the edge of the teacup and replied, "Whenever I''m not working, I


    would think of all sorts of stuff. To tell you the truth, I''ve pondered on a lot of things after leaving the


    studio."


    Seeing as Elizabeth was hesitant to speak, J smiled at her and said, "If there''s something you


    wish to say, just say it. Your secret''s safe with me."
