?Chapter 212:


    Kaiden offered no response, instead asking, “What about Ellie’s family?”


    “All I discovered is that Ellie and Demi were swapped on Demi’s first birthday. I don’t have any other info,” Jerome said with a chuckle. “Kaiden, this sudden interest in Ellie’s background, are you trying to help her find her family? Or, do you take a liking to Ellie?”


    Kaiden shot Jerome a frosty re. “How did Cecelia afford Ellie’s talent training andpetitions without any savings? The person who swapped Demi and Ellie at Demi’s first birthday left no traces? It doesn’t make sense, as it should have been a joyful event with so…


    Many attendees were present around them. “How did Demi end up back with the Gordons? Didn’t these questions cross your mind? What are you thinking?” Jerome felt Kaiden was being tough on him.


    “Kaiden, gossip is my forte, not deep investigations. Maybe we should wait for Levy to return. He’s better at this kind of work.”


    “Mr. Thorpe, we’re here to unwind. Forget work for a while. How about trying this wine? I’ll serve it to you,” said the woman in a knit red dress and elegant makeup. She was thetest star sensation.


    Kaiden surveyed the star from head to toe, his mind drifting to Ellie in her red dress on her birthday.


    He couldn’t recall the dress in detail, only the stunning color thatplemented Ellie’splexion.


    He absentmindedly removed the red dress and tossed it onto the hotel’s carpet…


    Sensing Kaiden’s gaze, the star’s eyes sparkled. She leaned closer, pressing against Kaiden’s arm, inviting him to feel her.


    “You look awful in red,” Kaiden bluntly remarked, pushing her away in disgust.


    The sight of the red dress intensified Kaiden’s longing to see Ellie again.


    At the break of dawn, the logistics team brought in a brand-new furnace and heater, getting ready to set up additional rest areas for the crew.

    “Did you know? Yesterday, someone invested millions into our crew,” Susanna shared the buzz with Ellie. “The sponsor insisted the money be used to improve the crew’s working conditions.”


    Ellie nodded in agreement. “That person is truly kind-hearted.” Ellie disliked feeling cold more than anything.


    Meanwhile, the rest of the crew was abuzz, specting that the generous sponsor must have a soft spot for someone among them. “Could it be Demi’s boyfriend behind this?” someone suddenly suggested.


    “Yeah. Demi’s boyfriend is wealthy and dotes on her. We’re all benefiting because of you, Demi.”


    “Indeed, thanks a lot, Demi.”


    Everyone in the crew showered Demi with gratitude andpliments. Demi merely smiled in response, remaining silent.


    She wasn’t certain if Erick was the sponsor, but it seemed like only he could be capable of such a gesture.
