Chapter 15: Task Successfully Completed

By the time Ella Lacey returned to the Lindsey Family residence, it was already dark.

Sally Jefferson was watching TV in the living room. Upon seeing Ella return unhurt, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ella, how did you get back? I thought if you didn't catch the flight and had to take the bus from the suburbs, you wouldn't make it home until after ten. But it's only seven now."

Sally felt rather smug. She had ridden on Arthur Lindsey's private plane, but Ella had not.

It was clear that Arthur cared more about her, or rather, he liked her more!

Now was her time to gloat.

"A kind old man gave me a ride home," Ella flopped onto the couch, feeling a little tired.

"You don't know him?" Sally was surprised. Did Ella have such good luck?

"Mm-hmm."
