Life at the Top

As Jasper drove away from Faith County, an Audi approached it from the opposite direction.

Excluding the driver, there was a man and a woman in the car.

“This is your hometown, Miss Hunt? What a great and scenic place. It’s just as I expected.”

The man in a smart outfit spoke with stilted Somerish as he looked out the window.

Beside him was a woman dressed in a feminine suit with light makeup on her face.

This woman was the ‘Miss Hunt’ he was referring to.

Jasper would be shocked if he saw this, for Miss Hunt was none other than Penelope.

With Jasper’s recommendation, Penelope had gotten a job in ICBS thanks to John. However, she resigned two months later and was now completely different.

Not even the people closest to Penelope would believe that the harsh and calculative girl would turn into someone that now oozed with confidence.

“Are you implying something else, Mr. Carr?” Penelope asked calmly.

Leroy smiled and replied, “I was just voicing my genuine thoughts. Oh, right, do you plan to stay for a few days now that you’ve returned to your hometown, Miss Hunt?”

Penelope replied, “I’ve only come this time to fetch my mother to Waterhoof City for treatment. It won’t take long, so don’t worry. I know what my mission is, and I won’t add to Mr. Atticus’ troubles. I’ll return as fast as I can.”
