Chapter 531
Cyril put his phone away. He had no idea why Olivia would suddenly ask that question. He wondered ifshe had found something.
He went to the surveillance room in person. The villa was situated halfway up the mountain.Surveillance cameras were installed along the path to the estate.
If any car went up the mountain, they would’ve noticed it while it was at the foot of the hill. Then, theywould keep watch on
the vehicle in real time.
This was a remote place, and a mansion was also built there. Ordinary people wouldn’t normally comehere.
Even if some hikers occasionally came to the mountain, they would be told to turn back halfwaythrough.
Usually, only the Millers’ cars were seen in this area, transporting various resources. No strangerswould be in sight.
After looking at the footage for a long while, Cyril didn’t notice anything off.
Cyril’s gaze moved downward. He noticed that a few surveillance cameras on the bottom had blackedout.
Those cameras were installed on the cliffside. The cliff was steep, and the water level was on the risethese days. With the raging waves and heavy rain, the cameras might be ruined by the waves.
People couldn’t climb up the cliff even during the day, much less in the harsh conditions at night.
Cyril made sure that there weren’t any suspicious people or cars on the path up the mountain. Then, heleft the surveillance
room.
He had already confirmed that nothing was off, but Cyril kept feeling uneasy about it. He felt as if hehad overlooked something.
But he didn’t know what it was.
A figure suddenly flashed across his mind. It was Warren, whom he had met once yesterday.
The two only shook their hands when they met. After that, Mona took Warren into the ward. Cyril feltthat he would only get in the way, so he left.
It was only now that he remembered the man’s strong grip. The area between Warren’s index fingerand thumb was filled
with calluses.
Mona once said that her upperclassman was working on academic research overseas. It didn’t makesense for someone who always used computers and pens to have calluses in that area.
Unless …
Cyril looked at his hand. Warren might have an identity like his, where he would always be holdingguns. That was the only reason why he had those traces on that spot!
Cyril thought back on it. There was something suspicious about the accident Mona’s younger brothergot into. He wasn’t seriously hurt at all.
Cyril thought about the possibility of the accident being a bait to lure Mona away. Warren’s true targetmight be Olivia instead.
There could be something wrong about the bracelet Mona so fondly admired all day. If a tracker wereinside, then Olivia’s location would be exposed!
Cyril shook his head. It was too much of a coincidence.
Also, he couldn’t think of anyone who would set up this trap. He felt like he was overthinking it.
That was what he thought, but he still felt uneasy inside. He got ready to call over more backups for thenight shift. He had to make sure that there were no mistakes.
He had just dialed the number when he heard a woman screaming.
Chapter 531
“Ah!”
It was Mona’s voice.
Cyril turned on the walkie-talkie and called for backup as he ran toward the room.
When he barged in, he saw the phone Mona left on the bed, with its screen still lit. The window waswide open, and the cold wind blew in, sweeping the white sheer curtains outside.
Cyril picked up the phone. The screen was still showing the conversation between Mona and Warren.
Warren’s icon was pitch black. It was only after he zoomed in that he could make out a figure in thedarkness. The corners of the person’s lips were curled up like a phantom.
His gaze
fell upon the last message in the conversation.
Warren: “Darling, I’m here.”
Cyril’s eyes went wide. He wouldn’t think that Warren had rushed over to meet his lover.
Olivia was in danger!
Cyril looked down. He saw the whole cliffside covered in people who wore bulletproof vests andhelmets!
There were also gliders constantly landing above them. Cyril couldn’t believe that they had chosen toland in such a risky way.
It made sense now that no figures could be seen on the surveillance footage along the road.
That night, Ethan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep as he listened to the thunder outside.
Olivia didn’t like rainy days at all. On stormy nights, she would always lean into his arms.
There were a few times when Ethan got out of bed, wishing to go over to Olivia. But then, heremembered how much Olivia hated him. So, he would only be affecting her emotions if he went there.
The doctor said that she should avoid mental burdens. So, Ethan lay down again.
But he didn’t feel like sleeping at all.novelbin
Lightning flashed across the sky again. As the thunder rumbled, Ethan got up once again.
He could keep his distance from Olivia, but he had to go.
“Kelvin, get the car.”
The car was halfway there when his phone rang. It was a call from Cyril.
He had sent Cyril to protect Olivia. Cyril wouldn’t have called him so late at night if it didn’t haveanything to do with Olivia.
Ethan felt extremely anxious. After
end of the line.
answering the call, he hadn’t even spoken a word when a gunshot sounded on the other
Cyril’s voice rang out breathlessly. “We’re in big trouble, Mr. Miller!”
