Chapter 1156
Panic began to set in as the guards watched helplessly as Chase's car disappeared into the distance.
âWhat the hell are we gonna do? How're we gonna explain to Mr. Blanchet that we lost Ellinor?â
âDamn it! Mr. Blanchet's gonna flip his lid!"
âWe're screwed!â
The lead guard snarled. âEnough! If you know Mr. Blanchet's gonna have our heads, what are you
waiting for? Go after Mr. Larios! They didnât just show up here for no reason! We might still find
Ellinor!â
âRight!â

Meanwhile.
On a quiet lane outside the park, a white Bugatti was parked.
Ellinor strode over briskly, opened the door, got in, and took off the wig she was wearing.
She'd already changed out of the clothes she was wearing when she left the Blanchet Villa, choosing
instead to wear the clothes Ida had stashed in the park restroom, which was how she'd managed to
evade the Blanchet familyâs bodyguards.
Bartlett Rex grinned at her, âYou've got some pretty good disguise skills!"
Ellinor was tired from the run and not in the mood for small talk, âCut the crap; can we get going?â
Bartlett smiled, started the car, and whisked her away from danger.
But they didn't go far before he made a turn into a residential area.
Seeing the change in route, Ellinor frowned, âI thought we were going to the airport. Where are you
taking me?â
Bartlett replied, âHeading straight to the airport now would be like walking into a trap. Theo will
definitely send people to guard all the major airports and train stations the moment he finds out
you've escaped. Even the highway exits won't be overlooked.â
Ellinor pondered it and found what Bartlett said reasonable, though she doubted Theo would go to
such lengths for her.
âSo where are you taking me now?"
Bartlett replied, âThe most dangerous place is the safest. I donât need to explain that, do 1? We'll
hide out at my place for a couple of days, wait until things cool down with the Blanchet family, and
then I'll arrange a private jet to get you out of the country.â
Ellinor nodded, âI guess I should thank you then. But is this home?â
your
She looked out at the ordinary residential area and thought it didnât seem like somewhere Mr. Rex
would live.
Bartlett smiled slightly, âYes, this is my home. What? Is it not to your liking? It's certainly not as
luxurious as the Blanchet Villa."
Ellinor shook her head, settling comfortably into her seat, âWhat do I care? I lived in worse places
when I was a kid. It just doesn't seem to fit your status. Don't wealthy people like you live in
mansions or upscale apartments?â
Bartlett chuckled, âThis is actually where I lived as a child, so I haven't been back in a while. Given
you've just escaped from the Blanchet family, we can't stay somewhere too conspicuous, so I
brought you here for the time being.â
"Ah, got it.â Ellinor still found it a bit odd. After all, Bartlett was also from the Rex family as a child,
wasn't he? Living in such an ordinary residential area seemed a bit out of the ordinary.
However, she didn't press further.
It wasn't appropriate to pry into other people's private affairs.
The old residential area didn't have an underground parking lot, so Bartlett parked the car
downstairs and then led Ellinor out of the car and into one of the buildings.
On the second floor, Bartlett took out a key and opened a door, âAfter you.â
