Chapter 1976

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.

Ellen? Why is her non the list? Jared knew there was no mistake. It was Ellen's name. At that moment, he returned to his

senses and quickly clicked on her nto rewatch her match.

When the screen switched scenes, Ellen's beautiful face unfolded right before his eyes. Looking at her, he stood up in

bewilderment. He couldn’t believe he would find 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 much to do, | watched the video and saw Miss Reiss.”

“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

Hearing his words, Stanley shook his head and smiled. Fortunately, he had done some. research beforehand and replied, “I have

already checked that. I'll send the address to you right away. I'm sure you know Miss Reiss is the champion, right?”

“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!

As the lamppost shone its light, a sports car dashed through the road as fast as lightning. On the other hand, at the hotel, Ellen

had taken a bath and was sitting on the couch, looking at the trophy on the table.

Looking at it, she thought about a familiar face. She wanted to see Jared but had no reason to do so. After all, he had never come

looking for her when she left without saying anything for an entire year. That meant that they were over.

Thinking about it, she turned her head to look. outside the window. The neon lights were shining brightly. Is there a woman beside

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Ellen believed it was the hotel staff since she had ordered a plate of fruits. Thus, she stood up

and opened the door without much thought.

However, it wasn't the hotel staff who stood before her, but a man who was panting. He was leaning against the doorframe,

seemingly out of breath. When Ellen saw who he was, her pupils constricted. You. It’s you. In that split second, the duo looked at

each other without saying a word.
