Chapter 277 As they approached the highway, an unusual purple-gray SUV caught their attention, parked conspicuously among more traditionally colored vehicles.

Oliver maneuvered their car to pull up alongside it, and Camille immediately leaned out from the passenger window, calling out, Elizabeth! Albin, seated at the wheel behind her, also leaned forward and said, Hey, Elizabeth.

Elijah.

Albins presence surprised Elizabeth.

She shut her laptop and asked, Albin? What are you doing here? Before Albin could explain, Camille interjected, He was free, so he decided to help out.

Hiring a driver for such a long drive gets pricey, and Im trying to manage my expenses now that Im on my own.

Elijah gave them a doubtful look, clearly skeptical of her rationale.

Brushing off his scrutiny, Camille suggested, Lets skip that topic.

Elizabeth, why dont you hop in here with us? You and I can squeeze into the back.

Ive downloaded loads of movies.

We can watch them together! Sure! With enthusiasm, Elizabeth quickly exited their car.

She had grown weary of overhearing Elijahs discussions about multimillion-dollar deals, finding them increasingly disheartening.

She slid into the back seat of the SUV, and as she was about to close the door, she saw Elijah stepping out of his car.
