The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 804

Just bringing it up made Lilian's blood boil.

This was a neighborhood of single-family homes situated in prime downtown real estate. Anyone living here was either incredibly wealthy or highly connected.

"They're just renting the place, but even then, the rent here costs a fortune."

Penelope had only asked casually, and since Lilian didn't know much more about them, they dropped the subject.

At noon, Penelope grabbed a working lunch with Marin Payton. It had been over a month since Marin joined the company, and she was adapting beautifully. Even her complexion looked radiant, as if she had finally moved past the trauma of what happened.

"The police tracked Ellison Jeffries down somewhere up north, so they're working with the local authorities to apprehend him right now." The moment Marin mentioned Ellison, pure hatred flashed across her face. "I never imagined he'd be capable of something so psychotic. He ran my dad over with his car!"

Penelope gave Marin's shoulder a comforting squeeze. When she first heard the news, she had been just as shocked. Ellison always seemed like such a refined, intellectual guy; she never expected him to do something so deranged.

"By the way, how are you liking your new place? Do you want me to help you find a different apartment?"

"It's great, actually. Timothy has been helping me out a lot."

Speak of the devil. Timothy Anderson walked over with his lunch tray. Acting as if Penelope didn't even exist, he sat down and immediately started geeking out over tech specs with Marin. When Marin offered a slight shift in perspective, Timothy's eyes lit up like fireworks.

"You're a genius! I knew there wasn't a coding problem in the world you couldn't solve!" Timothy said excitedly.

Marin blushed at the compliment. "You're being too modest, Timothy. You're brilliant too. You gave me some great advice just the other day when I was stuck."

Timothy rubbed the back of his neck, looking a little bashful.

"Hey, Marin, let me take you out to dinner tonight."

"Oh, uh, sure. That sounds nice."

"Awesome, I'll book a table right now."
