Chapter 512

On the emergency lane of the highway, Ellinor was standing alone by the road.

The surroundings were pitch black, with occasional cars whizzing by, providing a fleeting brightness.

Walking on the highway was risky; a speeding car could easily hit you. So, after getting out of the cor,

Ellinor didn’t continue walking She turned on her phone’s flashlight, hoping to get noticed by passing

cars.

Meanwhile, she was also on the phone with Ida Gipson.

“Ida, where the heck are you?”

Im in Y state, remember? You told me to fly out here and have a sit-down about the LifeForce

Corporation takeover Caught the morning flight. Did you forger?-

Ellinor rubbed her forehead; she had forgotten that Ida was out of the country.

“Something up, boss? How’s the Howard family’s shindig going?”

“Uh-huh, just be safe out there in Y state, I’ll get Chase Larios to pick me up!”

After hanging up with Ida. Ellinor tried calling Chase.

Shockingly, Chase’s phone just kept ringing, no one was picking up. What on earth was he up to?

Ellinor looked around the dark surroundings, furrowing her brows in thought. Was she really going to be

stuck on the highway till dawn?

In the old days, she could’ve easily spent a night outside, no matter how harsh the conditions or how

cold the winter night was.

But now she was pregnant. She could take risks, but she couldn’t risk her unborn child.

If she got sick from staying out in the cold, it would affect her baby. Plus, she couldn’t even take

medicine.

If she called the police now, she might end up in the news tomorrow

Just as she was contemplating whether to call the police, a bright headlight suddenly shone on her.

Instinctively, Ellinor lifted her arm to shield her eyes. What was going on? Was someone else’s car also

having trouble?

When the light finally dimmed and turned into flashing lights, Ellinor could finally see what was

happening.

Collin got out of the passenger seat and walked solemnly towards her, saying respectfully, “Ms.

Mendoza, please get in the car.

Ellinor glanced at the Mercedes not far away and recognized the familiar license plate. She was

puzzled.

Why was Theo here?

Why was he on the highway? Neither his office nor home were in this direction.

Ellinor thought for a moment, then politely said to Collin, “Thanks for the offer, but there’s no need. A

friend will be here to pick me up soon.”

She had no reason to get in his car now

Theo already had a fiancée and a child. Any decent woman would know to avoid any potential

misunderstanding.

Collin looked a bit helpless but still stared at her firmly, “Ms: Mendoza, I implore you not to put me in

this predicament. We can’t linger on the highway for too long If you don’t get in the car, it will be really

risky for us to stay here.”

Ellinor fell silent.

Judging from Collin’s attitude, if she didn’t get in the car, he couldn’t complete his task and would have

to wait with her.

That’s just how Theo operated. He didn’t accept no for an answer.

Ellinor felt a bit annoyed by this, but she was out of options.

She thought for a moment and checked the time on her phone. It was almost midnight. She didn’t want

to be a nuisance to the police.
