?Chapter 624:
“How could that be? Besides Kaiden, who else could afford such luxury for Ellie?”
“Miss, it might be wise not to measure others by one’s yardstick. Miss Gordon is quite capable. What makes you think she couldn’t own the ind herself?”
“Owned by her? That’s hard to believe.”
“Just a bit of humor,” Garfield put on a fake smile and said, “Considering Miss Gordon’s ess to exclusive jewelry collections from the Light Show, wouldn’t you agree that her resources are beyond those of ordinary people?”
Garfield was intimately involved in the jewelry dealings.
This revtion sent a shiver down Carole’s spine.
He was aware of the Light Show!
Wasn’t he using the term “ordinary people” to describe her? Was this Garfield’s way… of issuing a caution?
The crew’s evening gathering was held. It was only at this event that Ellie and Baylee made their presence known again.
As the six participants and directors convened around the bonfire, discussing ns for the uing live broadcast, the day’s responsibilities were set aside, offering everyone a chance to rx.
Yet, rxation was far from anyone’s mind.
They pondered the connection between Baylee, Ellie, and the ind owner.
No matter how they tried to get the information, Baylee and Ellie refused to tell them the truth.
Kristopher, after taking a call, departed the scene in his wheelchair.
Ellie quickly approached him once the call ended. “Mr. Wright!”
“Ellie.”

People often referred to her as Ellie, but when the word came from his mouth, it carried an unexpected tenderness.
It made her feel a tad uneasy.
“You don’t seem to be here for the show. Is it not to your liking? I didn’t expect you toe,” said Ellie.
Considering his fragile health and somewhat reserved demeanor, he didn’t seem like someone who would be inclined to participate in such a spectacle.
Kristopher offered a smile, hinting at deeper motives. “I’m here for a specific reason.”
What he desired was the individual right before his eyes.
Ellie chose not to probe further.
She also arrived here for a reason—to repay Charlie for helping her once and to honor her alma mater’s kindness.
Carole’s eyes clouded with resentment. She discreetly snapped a photo of Ellie and Kristopher from afar and shared it with Kaiden.
