The bodyguards watched helplessly as Aaron’s minivan drove away, and they started to panic.
“What should we do now? How are we going to tell Mister Jeremy that we’ve lost Miss Corinne?”
“Sh*t! He’s definitely going to punish us for that!”
“We’re done for…”
“That’s enough!” shouted the lead bodyguard through gritted teeth. “Instead of sh*tting your pants over here, you
all should be tailing Mister Aaron. He definitely has something to do with Miss Corinne’s escape. It can’t be a
coincidence for them to be here. We might be able to find Miss Corinne if we follow them!”
“Yes, Sir!”

people, was a parked white Bugatti.
Corinne half-jogged over to the car, got into it, and took off her wig. She had changed into the clothes left by Xante
in one of the public restrooms to escape notice from the bodyguards.
“You look good in your disguise,” said Jason with a smirk.
Corinne was tired from the journey, so she was in no mood to joke around with him. “Cut the chit-chat and drive
now.”
Jason smiled, started the car engine, and drove her away from the park. Not long after that, he turned the car into
a residential area.
Seeing this, Corinne frowned and said, “Where are you taking me? I thought we were going to the airport?”
“Going to the airport now is as good as turning yourself in,” explained Jason. “The moment Jeremy knows you’ve
escaped, he’ll arrange for his men to keep a close eye on you at every major airport and train station. Heck, it
won’t even surprise me if he puts some eyes over the highway too.”
After thinking about it, Corinne found his explanation logical. However, she was not really convinced Jeremy would
go through all that effort to find her.
“So where are you taking me, then?”
“Have you ever heard of the saying ‘hiding in plain sight’? That’s exactly what we’re for a couple of days, and when
things die down, I’ll arrange for a private jet to fly you out.”
Corinne was a little taken aback, but she nodded after a while. “Thanks, Jason. But is this really where you live?”
She looked out at the average-looking buildings. No matter how she looked at them, they did not look like
somewhere a rich guy like Jason would live.

Jason smiled. “Yeah, I live here. Why? You don’t like it? I know it’s not as nice as Jeremy’s mansion, but it’s still
home.”
Corinne shook her head and leaned back lazily on her seat. “No. It’s not that. I’ve lived in places far worse than this
when I was little. It’s just… This doesn’t look like a place that a rich guy like you will live in. I mean, guys with
daddy’s money always live in a mansion or penthouse, don’t they?”
Jason laughed. “Well, I used to live here when I was little. It’s been a long time since I came here. I don’t think it’s
wise for you to live in a flashy place when you’ve just escaped from the Holdens, so that’s why I brought you here.”
“I see,” she said, even though she still found it weird that Jason would live in such a humble place when he was
little. ‘Does that mean he didn’t grow up rich?’ she wondered. As curious as she was, she thought it would be rude
for her to pry into his personal life.
They stopped in front of a shabby-looking flat since there was no underground parking. Together, they walked up to
the second floor, and Jason took out a key to open the door.
“Welcome to my humble abode,” said Jason.
