Chapter 1339
Elijah walked Elliot out to the parking lot outside. One of the bodyguards opened the door for Elliot and
he slid in before saying to Elijah courteously, “Thank you for seeing me out, Mr. Jackman.”
“You’re most welcome. Goodbye, Mr. Presgrave,” Elijah replied and watched as the procession of
bulletproof cars drove off.
Then, Elijah returned to the office and brought the pile of documents to Ren, who was standing in front
of the French window with a cup of coffee. He seemed to be in deep thought.
“Did everything go smoothly, Sir?” Elijah asked in concern.
“Yes. Very smoothly.” Ren nodded.
“Miss Singed has arrived safely at her parents‘ new villa. The Singeds won’t be leaving their house for
the next few days. They will be under our protection at all times,” Elijah reported.
Ren narrowed his eyes. He could not help but think that Ruka would be bored out of her mind if she
stayed cooped up inside the house for too long. If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have had to go
through all of this.
Just then, Ren’s phone rang, and he picked it up. “Yes, Scarlet?”
“Ren, did you send Ruka back to her parents? It’s Christmas Eve today. Do you think it’d be alright if
we invited them to join us for a celebration?”
“I’m a little swamped today, Scarlet. I’ll let Elijah handle the arrangements.”
“Alright. Come home for dinner once you’re done with work. Mom and Dad are here too.”
Ren’s heart tightened. “Scarlet, make sure Dad doesn’t find out about my relationship with Ruka.”
“Relax. Everyone’s on high alert right now. No one will inform Dad about it before the elections. We
know what his temper’s like,” Scarlet assured him before adding a reminder. “Don’t work too late. You
need to take care of your health too.”
