Chapter 248 He Ran Away

Elizabeth gave Rosalie her phone for the latter to input the number while mentally rejoicing that shehad gained another

potential customer.

After adding Elizabeth’s phone number, Rosalie saved her contact with a remark that read: Matthew’sPlaything

Her large eyes wandered as she sketched a plan to get closer to Elizabeth from then on. If she couldhave a good

relationship with Elizabeth, then she would naturally meet Matthew sooner or later.

After Chelsea and Linda finished chatting, the former called Elizabeth, “Let’s go, Lizzy,”

Elizabeth then bid farewell to Rosalie and Linda before getting inside Chelsea’s car and leaving CorvinStreet.

Inside the car, Chelsea held Elizabeth’s hand and apologized, “I’m sorry for making you go through allof that, Lizzy. It’s

not like I can’t help you, but I just hope that you can adapt to this kind of gathering since you will beattending more of them in

the future.”

Chelsea did not like this kind of gathering where the ladies from rich and influential families gathered.However, she was

a part of the Hilton family, so she had an obligation to attend such gatherings.

Elizabeth smiled and said, “I am fine, Old Mrs. Hilton. Please don’t apologize.”

Elizabeth just felt that being able to watch Celine being isolated and sitting at the farthest table wasundeniably pleasant.

Celine definitely did not have a good time that day.

“That’s good, then,” said Chelsea with a nod.

She felt that the younger woman was very caring and sensible, so she was even more pleased withher.

At her age, Chelsea was tired after having spent most of the day outside, so she had to go straighthome to rest.

She sent Elizabeth to Hilton Group, and after the younger woman got out of the car, the driver droveback to the Hilton

residence.

Matthew was not there when Elizabeth returned to the office.

She put down her handbag, went to the pantry, and poured a glass of water for herself before taking afew sips

She found a quiet place to make a call to Jessica.

That morning was pretty hectic for her and she also had to follow Chelsea out after that, so she did nothave the time to

call her friend

The call was connected soon after. “Hello?”

When Elizabeth heard Jessica’s voice, she thought that the latter had just woken up.

Chapter 248 He Ran Away

“Did I wake you up, Jess?”

Π

Jessica immediately sobered up when she heard Elizabeth’s voice. She took a glance around the roomand found that the place was quite famuliar. After all, she had been there more than ten times.

“Sorry, Lizzy I drank too much last night, so I slept in.

As a matter of fact, that was not the truth. After being picked up by a certain man last night, she spentmost of the night.

with him in bed.

That man was energetic, and she could not keep up with him at all. She was so tired that she could noteven get up.

Leonard had sent someone to watch over Pearl at the hospital, so she slept at his place with peace ofmind.

If it was not for Elizabeth’s call, she did not know how long she was going to sleep.

Elizabeth was relieved after hearing her excuse. “I’m just checking up on you because I’m worried.Leonard didn’t bully you after taking you away last night, did he?”

Jessica got up and put on her pajamas. Her throat was parched, so she went to the kitchen to pourherself a glass of

water.

When she walked into the kitchen, she saw a note on the table.

The note read: Jessica, my team has a mission, so I have to go back. I’ll leave this condominium toyou.

There was a grant for the condominium underneath the note and a black card.

Jessica’s face turned pale, and she mumbled to herself, “He ran away?”

Elizabeth just wanted to express her worries and also ask Jessica about something. Before she coulddo that, however, she

heard Jessica mumbling

“What did you say? Who ran away?”

Jessica slammed her palm on the table, right on top of the grant. Her eyes were filled withdisappointment.

“It’s Leonard. He ran away.”

Leonard had agreed to donate his bone marrow to Pearl on Friday but did not keep his words. Theymade an agreement that Jessica would be with him for a month. Whenever he called, she would comeover and sleep with him.

Jessica’s only wish was for Pearl to live. She was willing to do anything for that wish to become areality.

However, Leonard actually lied to her.

Bastard. You bastard…

Elizabeth did not understand what was happening “Jess, are you still waiting for Leonard bone marrowbecause you haven’t found another person that matches?”

Jessica was not in the mood to discuss this matter at the moment. Her voice was very hoarse as shesaid, “Lizzy, I have to hang up. I need to replace him Let’s talk about this later.”

She then hung up the call, leaving Elizabeth staring at her phone dumbfoundedly. Her eyes blinked afew times, and

Elizabeth finally understood what had happened.

She got up and went back to the office. Matthew was already inside, and it seemed that he had justreturned.

“Mr. Hilton, do you know where Mr. Johnson is right now?”
