So, Ellis ignored Morty’s driver and took a cab home. Unbeknownst to her, a car followed the taxi she was in all the way to her. apartment complex.

Upon arriving safely at the front gate of her complex, a young man in a suit approached her as soon as she got out of the cab and asked, “Hello, are you Ms. Harper, Ellis

Ellis took a cautious step back, I’m not her; you’ve got the wrong person.”

With that, she quickly dashed toward the inside of the complex.

g man, who was clearly faster, he blocked her path with absolute case,

Finding herself in a dangerous situation, Ellis quickly pulled out her phone to call the police.

Just then, the young man, gasping for breath, said, “Ms. Harper, your upstairs neighbor accidentally dropped something on your balcony and is desperate to get it back. I tried contacting you during the day, but couldn’t reach you.”

Ellis almost called the police, taken aback by the young man’s words.

Could he be from the property management?

She scrutinized the young man, “Are you with the property management?”

“Yes,” the young man nodded.

A resident on the 13th floor had been pestering the property management to contact Ellis, wanting to retrieve their item as quickly as possible. He had checked Ellis’s registration details and called her several times during the day, but no one

answered.

He had planned to call again in the evening, but seeing Ellis return, be decided to ask if he could now enter her apartment. However, Ellis denied her identity and started running, causing him to chase her until he was nearly out of breath.

“Can you prove you’re from the property management for me?” Ellis felt like a startled b

Just a moment…”

“What is it?” Before the young man could finish, another male voice interrupted.

It was Easton! Such bad luck! She immediately averted her gaze and pretended to forget she was in the middle of talking to the property management guy, and without looking back, she walked away.

“Who are you? What are you trying to do following her?” a cold, imposing pressure came from the newcomer.

The young man, sensing hostility from the other man’s expression, shivered slightly and hurried to explain. “I’m with Serenity Estate property management, Ms. Harper’s upstairs neighbor asked me to contact her.”

“Property management? Easton scanned the young man skeptically.

As someone unfamiliar and given the high property management fees, the property company had a duty to prevent strangers from entering unchallenged, or else they would face complaints and dissatisfaction from residents, which could lead to the property management company being replaced.

Not a resident of Serenity Estate, Easton pursed his lips and remained silent.

He was here purely by chance.

Perhaps drawn by some mysterious force, he had stopped his car, just as Ellis was getting off work and heading home.

Seeing her running hastily, eager to shake off the young man following her, he decided to get out of his car to take a look.

Just briefly watching her relieved some of his chronic insomnia. Meanwhile, Jess, coming out of Building C, humming a tune and cheerfully preparing to go out, glanced ahead and spotted a familiar figure near the entrance of the complex

Easton was there. Should I greel him?

suddenly, the image of Victoria hitting Ellis a few days ago flashed through her mind,

Deciding to sneak away quietly, not letting Easton see her, Jess tiptoed back stealthily. However, it was already too late.

Jess!

Easton called out her name aggressively, and Jess turned around with a frightened smile, “Mr. Hudson…

Pleasing him was futile: Easton’s cold gaze bore into her, tinged with a hint of anger.

Jess froze on the spot, unsure whether to walk away or continue speaking

Easton strode over, his eyes scanning her from head to toe, his lips pressed into a thin line, then he slowly asked, “What are you doing here? Did Victoria send you?”

The video Maya sent him showed Jess was also there.
