Chapter 2737
Having said that, Patricia turned around and began walking away.
Although her injury was not severe, she still wanted to take a good rest and wake up early the next day. She needed
to be extra vigilant and alert during work tomorrow.
As she was about to leave, Ellar reached out and grabbed her.
However, he had made the mistake of seizing her by the arm which had been injured, causing Patricia to grimace
and cry out, "Ow!"
She winced as her bad arm was in tremendous pain, and pulled away from Ellar's grasp.
Realizing that he had caused her pain, he immediately released her with a remorseful look on his face. "Sorry for
hurting you. Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?"
"Never mind." Patricia said, dumbfounded and speechless.
Going to the hospital would be totally unnecessary. It was just a brief moment of pain, not something severe

"I'll take you home." Ellar pulled her into his car.
He was still worried sick for her, as she had refused a trip to the hospital.
Patricia sighed, feeling helpless and defeated. "No, I'm fine, really. I can go home by myself."
"Well, you're going home anyway. What's the harm in letting me take you?" Ellar insisted and turned to look at the
driver." Take us to Flora Apartments."
"How do you know where I live?" Patricia asked with a frown.
"I asked," Ellar pointed to the two men she had assigned to protect him.
The two bodyguards lowered their heads at once, their faces guilt ridden. 'Did we do something wrong?'
Patricia then took a deep breath and warned the two, "Don't tell any outsiders my address in the future."
"Ye-yes, Patricia," they stammered. 'How are we supposed to know that Ellar is an outsider?'
However, Ellar did not seem to know what Patricia meant, and proceeded to chime in, "Yeah, don't tell any
outsiders next time."
Besides, he already knew her address, so it was better if others did not.
Patricia could only roll her eyes at that point. She just could not be bothered to pay attention to Ellar anymore, and
so, she simply closed her eyes and took a power nap.
After a while, the car pulled up in front of Flora Apartments.
"I've arrived. You can go back home." Patricia got out of the car.
When she saw that Ellar wanted to follow her out, she slammed the door, locking him inside.
Ellar rubbed his forehead, having narrowly missed being hit." Hey. Let me take you upstairs!"
"No," Patricia sternly declined, before spinning around and hurrying back to her apartment.
Ellar issued a sigh of helplessness as he watched her recede from view. He was just worried about her, but as things
stood, it seemed that Patricia wanted him off her back.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were already on their way to the Riddle residence.
"What do you think is the reason for the Eastern Falcon's reemergence?" Nicole asked Jared.
She was not familiar with any organization by the name of Eastern Falcon, so she could not guess what their

"It's been so many years, so there shouldn't be any problems within the organization. If it's not due to the changes
in their surroundings, we can rule out internal factors as the cause of their reappearance. That said, I believe they
are motivated by external forces," Jared said, his voice heavy and low.
"External?" Nicole frowned slightly. 'What could that be? Benefits of some sort?'
'Is it possible that they have been given enough incentive to come out of hiding?' she wondered.
"There might be lucrative rewards offered to them," Jared said calmly, though his words conveyed a sense of
nervousness and pressure.
"Yeah, that's the only reason that makes sense to me right now." Nicole agreed after pondering over it for a
moment.
They could only wait for the results of Charlie's investigation, which would hopefully be over soon.
"Those thugs exposed themselves today, but they didn't manage to complete the mission, so they'll probably lay
low for a few days," Nicole inferred.
It was evident that the group were well trained and coordinated. They would never act rashly and recklessly, as
everything was well planned from the very beginning.
Moreover, they had probably lurked around Ellar for a while, waiting for the right moment to strike.
