Chapter 208

One opportunity with these wealthy elites was all Jonathan needed to make his fortune.

Evelyn waited patiently until Jonathan finally appeared. "Was the line long?" she asked.

"A bit," he replied, masking his excitement. He chose not to mention his unexpected meeting with Nathaniel.

Settling beside her, he inquired, "So, you have three brothers. One's a doctor—what about the other two?"

"They live in Nord City. My eldest brother works in real estate, and the other is at a law firm. Just a junior associate, really."

Jonathan nodded knowingly. "No wonder that prestigious firm took legal action when Cassandra slandered you. I doubt your brother is just a junior associate. You can be honest with me, Evelyn."

She shook her head. "It's probably just because he gets along well with his colleagues. They were willing to help."

Her humility only intrigued him more. Getting into that firm wasn’t easy—its employees were highly educated with bright futures.

To Jonathan, Evelyn clearly came from a well-connected family.

Aside from her reputation as a top designer, dating her would elevate his career to new heights.

The thought sent a thrill through him, visions of success and triumphant homecomings flashing in his mind.

Soon after, Julian returned to the emergency room with a frown. "Evelyn, an emergency surgery just came up. I can't take you home."

Jonathan immediately offered, "I can drive her."

Reluctantly, Julian agreed. "Alright. Be careful on the road."

Evelyn understood his demanding schedule. Besides, she was well enough to go home alone.

She turned to Jonathan. "You don’t have to trouble yourself. I can just take a cab."

"It’s no trouble at all. I promised Julian I’d make sure you got home safely."

After a brief hesitation, she accepted.

An hour later, they arrived at her neighborhood. Jonathan glanced around. "You live here?"

If he remembered correctly, she used to stay in an older district slated for demolition.

"Yes, I moved recently," she replied.

"And you claim you're not wealthy? These properties are expensive."

Jonathan had started his business right after college, yet even now, he couldn’t afford a home in this area.

"Not really. Remember my prize money? My brothers helped me with the down payment."

Jonathan deduced her brothers must be well-off. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to lend her such a substantial sum.

The realization fueled his enthusiasm. "Text me when you get inside. I’ll feel better knowing you’re safe."

"Alright. And thank you—I owe you dinner sometime."

He waved her off, watching as she disappeared into the complex.

Pulling out his phone, he checked property prices in the area. Plans began forming in his mind—strategies to win Evelyn over.

Since she was an orphan, she must crave love and security.

The thought lingered as he drove away.
