Chapter 1361:
“Coming!” Elissa called out, her brow knitting in confusion. Who could be visiting at this hour?
Opening the door, she froze. There stood Ernest, his tall frfilling the doorway.
“Mr. Flynn...” Elissa stammered, her heart skipping a beat. What brought him here?
“Yes,” Ernest said with a slight nod, stepping past her into the apartment with an air of quiet authority.

Elissa spun around, startled to find him practically in her shadow. Her heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, she
took a step back and gestured nervously. “Mr. Flynn, uh... maybe we could take this conversation over there?”
Ernest didn’t budge, his forehead drawn in like storm clouds gathering before a downpour. A shadow crossed his
