Chapter 73

CHAPTER 73

Jane’s apartment was a lone mountain, dwarfing the other rooftops in the neighborhood. Now it was fully covered in dazzling lights and caught everyone’s attention. Jane’s family had been living off like royals in this neighborhood from the rents alone.

When regular cars arrived, Jane’s parents didn’t bother to come out to personally receive them. When the Porsche stopped outside, Jane’s mother came to receive them. She put on quite a bit of gold and was all smiles as she received Elizabeth and others. She thought Benjamin was a driver, so she didn’t even spare a glance at him and left.

Elizabeth and her parents also completely ignored Benjamin after getting to the apartment, but they kept talking to almost everyone they thought were worth their time.

Benjamin went to park the car in the parking space, but there was no room. He had to go to the nearest parking lane and park there. At the same time, another man was parking his car there. He saw Benjamin and immediately frowned in anger. This was the same officer who was at Oliver’s accident scene. After getting knocked out cold by Benjamin, he felt too embarrassed to go after him, but now that Benjamin was right in front of his eyes, he couldn’t just walk away. “Hey, you!” he called out Benjamin as he walked toward him. Benjamin glanced back and recognized this man immediately. He adjusted his shirt a little and started running “Wait!” the officer chased him. “You think you can outrun an officer?” he said almost arrogantly, but to his surprise, Benjamin’s speed wasn’t anything to slight at. The officer gave it his all, but he couldn’t close the gap between him and his target.

Benjamin made him run around a block until the officer grew tired and gave up. By the end of it, he was sweating crazily, with his lungs on fire. He hadn’t run so hard in years. “Dammit. Now that I’m in my late thirties, my body isn’t the same anymore.” After taking some rest and catching up his breath, he adjusted his tie. “I shouldn’t be late to the party.”

He hurried to the apartment and got there in a couple of minutes. An old lady was sitting outside on the stairs, with a stick next to her. “Isn’t she Jane’s grandma?” he approached her.” How are you doing, grandma?” he spoke loudly because he knew she had both seeing and hearing issues.
