    Ellinor recalled that when they first arrived at Dr. Callum’s ce, they were informed by his


    housekeeper that he was upstairs meeting with a friend.


    With that, she temporarily put her suspicions about Bartlett to rest. “So, you’re friends with Dr. Callum


    too?”


    Bartlett, with his devilishly handsome face, gave a charming smile. “Well, I’m quite popr. I have


    friends all over the world.”


    Ellinor scoffed, pulling a face. “Clearly.”


    Bartlett jingled the car keys in his hand. “Let’s go. I’ll give you a lift.”


    Ellinor nced around the quiet surroundings. There was not a single taxi in sight. She looked at her


    son, still a little bewildered from their recent reunion, and, after some consideration, decided to ept


    Bartlett’s offer.


    “That would be much appreciated, Mr. Rex.”


    Bartlett sighed in a slightly annoyed manner. “Ellinor, considering our rtionship, you really shouldn’t


    be so formal with me.”


    Ellinor gave him a sidelong nce. “Even though we are friends, it’s best to maintain some formality. I


    wouldn’t want to give people the wrong idea.”


    “Fair enough.” Bartlett responded, though secretly wishing for such misunderstandings.


    Carrying her son, Ellinor walked out of the greenery and got into Bartlett’s car.


    Bartlett drove while Ellinor, cradling her son, sat in the backseat.


    As they slowly drove away from the quiet vi district, Bartlett, ever the chatterbox, began a


    conversation. “Ellinor, heard you recently bought the plot in Blue River Estates.”


    Ellinor hummed in acknowledgment. “Who told you? Balfour?”


    Bartlett chuckled. “Balfour wouldn’t tell me anything. I heard from a friend who works at the auction


    house. You know have a wide circle of friends.”


    “Seems like that auction house isn’t very reliable, leaking customer information like that. I did purchase


    the Blue River Estatesnd under the nchet Corporation’s name. Why? Do you have some interest


    in it?”


    Bartlett, not one to feign modesty, smiled and asked, “I am indeed interested. So, I’m curious about


    how you n to develop it.”


    Ellinor looked out the window at the passing scenery. “I haven’t made a final decision yet. Thend was


    indeed bought under the nchet Corporation’s name, so the final decision will be based on the


    company’s needs and decided at a board meeting.”

    Bartlett nodded. “I see. The location of the Blue River Estates is quite good. It’s suitable for andmark


    commercial district. If the nchet Corporation decides to develop it into amercial area, could I


    possibly join the project?”


    Ellinor’s gaze shifted from the window to the driver’s seat. “You mean Rex Enterprises wants to


    coborate with the nchet Corporation on this project?”


    “That is indeed my intention. Rex Enterprises also has a plot near Blue River Estates, but it is not as


    large as the one you just bought. It’s a bit awkward. It’s too small forrge-scale development, but too


    big for a small one. If we could coborate with the nchet Corporation, it would definitely be a


    win-win situation,”
