Chapter 1986
Night of Destiny
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 name on the list? Jared knew there was no mistake. It was Ellenâs name. At that
moment, he returned to his senses and quickly clicked on her name to rewatch her match.
When the screen switched scenes, Ellenâs beautiful face unfolded right before his eyes. Looking at her,
he stood up in bewilderment. He couldnât 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 wasnât wearing
anything classy, sporting a plain turtleneck, looking sharp. When the camera zoomed in on her, she
didnât cower away, looking like a porcelain doll.
Immediately, Jared grabbed his phone and dialed Stanleyâs number. âStanley.â
âYes, Mr. Presgrave.â âHow did you find her?â âIt looks like you have watched it.
Except for work, I love to play chess. Hence, I knew a chess tournament would be right around the
corner. Since I have nothing much to do, I watched the video and saw Miss Reiss.â
âIs⦠Is she still in Averna? Which hotel is she at?â Jared suppressed the excitement in his voice.
âAre you going to see her tonight, Mr. Presgrave? Itâs already 10.00PM, though. Why donât we meet her
tomorrow morning?â Stanley suggested.
âDo you think I can wait until tomorrow? I want to know which hotel she stays in within ten minutes.â
Jared wouldnât give him the time to slack off.
Hearing his words, Stanley shook his head and smiled. Fortunately, he had done some. research
beforehand and replied, âI have already checked that. Iâll send the address to you right away. Iâm sure
you know Miss Reiss is the champion, right?â
âWhat?â âDonât you know about it?â âReally?â âYes. I just watched her last match. It was amazing. She is
truly gifted as a chess player.â
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 Ellenâs room number.
Immediately, Jared grabbed his coat and quickly rushed to the garage.
He didnât 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!
