?Chapter 762:


    Cole’s face grew stormy, and it was clear he was getting more upset by the second.


    Connecting the dots instantly, Paulina jumped in to help Elliana out, her smile still bright. “Miss, are you sure this is your car?”


    Elliana and Paulina exchanged a discreet nce and kept up the act. Elliana replied, “How could I be mistaken? My ride is a limited edition Rolls-Royce, only two in the world. I know which car is mine.”


    Paulina yed along. “I didn’t expect you to own this model as well. Coincidentally, Mr. Evans owns the other one. You indeed got into the wrong car.”


    Elliana suddenly stopped drinking her coffee and put on an expression of shock as she nced around. “Could it really be such a coincidence?” A re from Cole’s cold eyes made it clear he found her theatrics over the top.


    His mind wandered, wondering how much longer she nned to keep up this performance. In her attempt to get close to him, she had gone so far as to im she owned the same rare car. She did not seem to realize this vehicle was valued at one hundred seventy million dors, far from something an ordinary person could acquire.


    He found her lie clumsy, something that was almost amusing. This particr car represented the very best in craftsmanship and luxury, a true work of art that had captured the dreams of both engineers and designers. In the world of automobiles, it sparkled like a wless gem and drew eyes from all over the world.


    Only two such cars existed anywhere—he had purchased one, while the other was rumored to belong to an enigmatic billionaire whose fortune was impossible to measure.


    The young woman in front of him looked about twenty and probably still attended Ublento Medical University. He doubted she could afford something so expensive. Even with all the money in the world, she would stillck the connections. A car like this was not for sale to just anyone. Only those with significant influence stood a chance.

    Suppose, just for a moment, she was telling the truth about being the other owner. Most likely, her wealthy father had made the purchase, and she was simply a privileged daughter.


    But even that exnation did not fit the facts. Not once had he seen a rich man’s daughter march straight into a stranger’s car, only to end up resting on hisp. He had never watched a tycoon’s daughter openly flirt with every subordinate the car’s owner had.


    All signs pointed to her inventing stories. Every bit of her little charade came off as a calcted effort to catch his attention.


    A shortugh almost slipped out from him. After meeting all sorts of fawning admirers, he was still surprised to find one so determined to deny her own feelings—she clearly wanted to be near him, tried every possible approach, yet always pretended otherwise. He couldn’t help but think she was utterly ridiculous.


    While Cole was busy judging her in silence, Elliana had nearly finished her act. She looked over the inside of the car and offered Cole a weak smile. “Looks like I really did get in the wrong car.”


    Cole let out a scoffing sound, as though he had been waiting for her to finally admit it.


    A half-hearted apology came from Elliana. “Sorry if I caused any trouble.” She reached for her mask, preparing herself to step outside.<fnb2a6> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find[?]ovel</fnb2a6>


    Just then, Wanda came hurrying toward the vehicle, her voice bubbling with excitement as she called through the open door, “Cole, did youe to pick me up?”
