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.

senses and quickly clicked on her nto rewatch her match.

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 classy, sporting a
plain turtleneck, looking sharp. When the camera zoomed in on her, she didn’t cower away, looking like a porcelain 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, | love to play chess. Hence, | knew a chess tournament would be right around the corner. Since | have nothing

“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 | can wait until tomorrow? | want to know which hotel she stays in within ten minutes.” Jared wouldn't give him the

“What?” ‘Don’t you know about it?” “Really?” “Yes. | just watched her last match. It was amazing. She is truly gifted as a chess
player.”
When Jared heard his words, he felt a pang in his chest. Does that mean more men will like her? Will she be popular 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. Inmediately, 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!
