Chapter 183 The Mysterious Man

I was still upset as I drove home after dropping Carol off. Matthew had crossed so many

lines that I

vowed to take my revenge one day.

Later that night, Ryan called to check if I had reached home safely. I laughed and told him

I was about to go to sleep. Relieved, he chatted with me for a while before hanging up.

Cale, the CEO of Echelon Group

“Where is he?” I found it hard to believe. The CEO of Echelon Group was paying me a

visit? How could i

be possible?

Pointing toward the door, she whispered, “He’s just outside”
