“Alright,” the mover replied and put the two boxes on the coffee table.
The mover with the crate asked, “Ma’am, the computer is quite heavy. Shall I help you move it to theoffice table and assemble it for you?”
“Don’t worry about it. You can leave it there. Thank you,” Luca said politely. It was not hard for her toassemble a computer.
After the movers put the boxes down, they left the office.
Luca took out the important documents and placed them on the table. She turned to look at the doorand realized that Jason was still standing there. “Is there anything else, Mr. Doyle?”
“That’s all. I heard that you’ve arrived, so I wanted to welcome you. Feel free to tell me if you needanything, Dr. Craw,” Jason said.novelbin
Luca smiled politely and said, “Alright.”
Jason left the room after that.
Luca went to close the door. When she turned around, she discreetly glanced at one corner of theoffice, then continued to unpack her belongings.
From Jason’s actions earlier, she could tell that there was a surveillance camera in the office.
However, she could not let them know that she knew about it. She continued to unpack as though shewas oblivious about the surveillance camera.
After putting the most important documents in the safe, she set up a new passcode and began toassemble the computer.
She was very busy at work in the office and soon forgot about the surveillance camera.
It was as though she was already used to being spied on…
Luke stared unblinkingly at the computer screen. On the screen, Luca was unpacking her documents.After that, she began to assemble the computer. It did not take too long for her to set it up, as thoughshe was very familiar with computers.
Jason knocked on the office door. “Come in,” Luke said.
Jason opened the door and came in. “Mr. Crawford, Dr. Craw doesn’t seem interested in what I toldher.”
“Mm,” Luke replied. He had overheard their conversation earlier.
He had tasked Jason to investigate her, and he did not expect that Luca’s expression and words didnot expose anything. However, that only made him even more suspicious of her.
Could Luca have some relation with the Island of Despair?
Jason said, “Mr. Crawford, I think that there’s something suspicious about Dr. Craw.”
“Say it,” Luke said as he drummed the table with his fingers, as though he was thinking of something.
“She’s too composed. She doesn’t show any emotion on her face, and her breathing is even. It’s asthough she’s doing that deliberately. Anyone who’s doing that must be hiding something.”
Luke’s phone vibrated, and he read the message that he had just received. He stood up and said,“Prepare the car. I’m going to the mansion.”
Jason nodded and immediately did what he was told. He knew which mansion Luke was referring to.
He went to the basement parking lot to get the car, then drove it to the main entrance and waited forLuke.
Five minutes later, Luke came to the main entrance and stepped into the car. The two people went tothe mansion on the outskirts.
An hour later, the car drove into the mansion and parked in the garage.
Luke stepped into the living room. Gale was sitting on the couch typing something.
“I found something, Boss,” he said.
“Show it to me,” Luke said.
Gale opened a clipping of the dashcam footage.
The footage was captured the day after the impostor Bianca took Rainie away. Gale had been trying toaccess the footage of those two days, but there was a problem with the memory card, and it took himsome time to fix it.
“I’ve managed to restore the footage, but I don’t think there’s much to be gained. Take a look,” Galesaid and clicked on the play button.
On the computer screen, Luke saw Luca and Amur walk to the entrance of the house. Before they wentin, Luca turned around and looked in the direction of the car, as though she wanted to confirm that itwas from Crawford Manor. Some time later, Luca came out of the house carrying Rainie in her arms.Walking next to her was Amur and the impostor Bianca.
Amur asked for the car keys from the impostor Bianca, and they all got into the car. The footagestopped playing immediately after that.
“That’s all we have. Someone must have forced the dashcam to shut down, and the data wascorrupted,” Gale said. Thanks to the forced shutdown, he had spent a lot of effort to restore theinterrupted footage.
Luke asked, “When was the next time the dashcam was turned on?”
“That’s two days later. I’ve searched through all the locations captured in the dashcam. The impostorvisited some places multiple times, and other places only once. I think the most likely location is thisone.” Gale opened another video file.
Jason opened the map application on his phone and recorded the locations shown on the dashcamfootage. He would analyze each of those locations later.

Meanwhile, Luca finished unpacking her belongings and saw that it was almost time to go off work. Sheremembered that Tommy was discharged from the hospital earlier today, and according to what shehad agreed to Luke, the driver would be sending Tommy over to her apartment.
She did not linger in the office for too long because she did not want Tommy to wait for her, so she tookher personal belongings and left.
The T Corporation building was located downtown, so traffic around the area was quite heavy. It tookLuca some time to find a vacant cab.
After she got into the cab, she sent a message to Abel telling him about the current situation. Sheguessed that the surveillance camera in her office would be able to capture voices, so she told him thatshe would not be able to answer her call if he called her during office hours.
After that, she flipped through her stored notes on her phone. She had prepared several recipes forTommy.
She was willing to do that for Luke. After all, Tommy was her son. Every recipe was carefully designed.
She got out of the cab at the supermarket near her apartment. After paying for the food, her phonebegan to ring.
Luca answered the call, and Tommy’s voice was heard. “Ms. Luca, I’m in front of your apartment now.When will you be home?”
She could not help but grin when she heard his childish voice. He was so irresistibly endearing eventhough he was already five years old. She said, “I just got out of the supermarket. I’ll be there in tenminutes.”
“Yay! I’ll be waiting for you!” Tommy said happily and ended the call.
Luca briskly walked toward her apartment while carrying two shopping bags.
She saw Tommy standing at the entrance to the apartment, so she quickly walked up to him and asked,“Why are you standing here?”
“I want to see you as soon as I can, Ms. Luca!” Tommy said as he stretched out his arms. “I’m a strongboy now, Ms. Luca. Let me help you with the bags!”
