Chapter 579: Chapter 578: Chase!

After William Griffith left, Elijah Butler felt troubled and unsure of what to do next. She was almost certain that the man would find Cherish Turner in the shortest possible time. However, the city was so vast that he might not have the ability to do so. Elijah told Cherish to stay in Binzhou and not go anywhere. She needed to think about where she could hide.

When William Griffith returned to the Griffith residence, a subordinate handed him a document, "Young Master Griffith, we’ve found Miss Turner’s whereabouts. Miss Turner’s good friend, Miss Elijah Butler, owns a private property in Binzhou. We’ve confirmed that Miss Turner is staying in her ancestral home in Binzhou, where she is being taken care of and is safe."

William Griffith’s eyes narrowed, he hung up the phone, and hurried out of his office.

Meanwhile, the document quietly lay on the desk, motionless.

The small fishing village in Binzhou boasted a peaceful and simple life.

The most abundant features of the village were its fish ponds, with practically every household owning one. At any time, one could catch and cook delicious fish, which the village was never short of. Most of the houses were three-story villas built side by side. The villagers were like one big family, with no conflicts and very friendly interactions.

The village head was a big-bearded, sixty-year-old man who was energetic and honest, treating everyone warmly.

His mischievous grandson was especially well-behaved around Cherish Turner, visiting her daily. Cherish would occasionally teach him arithmetic and children’s songs. The smart boy would quickly learn and memorize them. The village head was pleased to see his grandson’s progress and treated Cherish even better.

"Cherish, this is a chicken raised by my family. My wife made some soup today, and I thought I’d bring you some to taste," the village head said cheerfully as he walked into the house with a bowl of soup.

"You’re too kind," Cherish replied, feeling embarrassed.

"Don’t mention it. It’s just a bowl of soup," the village head said, placing the bowl down and continuing, "My grandson doesn’t bother you too much, does he?"

"Grandpa, I’m very well-behaved and obedient!" the little boy stood up and said in a grown-up manner.

Cherish smiled and shook her head, patting the boy’s head affectionately, "Village head, your grandson is very smart. He’ll definitely be successful in the future."

"Sister Cherish says I’ll be successful!" the little boy exclaimed proudly.

"What a boast! We’ll see if you really will be successful!" the village head scolded playfully, trying to hide his pride and anticipation. He took his grandson’s hand and said with a smile, "Alright, Cherish, we’ll be going now. Remember to drink the soup while it’s hot."

"Bye, Sister Cherish," the little boy waved at her.

"Goodbye," Cherish waved back as she saw them off to the front yard, watching as the pair walked away.

The sky was getting darker at five o’clock, and the sight of the old man and boy walking hand in hand, gradually distancing themselves from her, was especially heartwarming. Faint laughter could be heard in the background.

This two-story villa was Elijah Butler’s family home. Elijah’s grandmother had lived here all her life. The old house was filled with memories and had been witnessed by the aunt who had seen Elijah grow up. Elijah’s grandmother and the aunt were best friends. After Elijah invited Cherish to live there, the aunt would often visit and take care of her, keeping her company with conversation. However, the aunt couldn’t make it today, as she had previously informed Cherish.

Cherish went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and prepare a stir-fry dish.

With the leftovers from lunch and the chicken soup just brought by the village head, there was more than enough food for her meal.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Cherish wiped her hands and rushed to the living room to answer the call.
