Ever since Ethan’s identity was exposed in the dark web, Miller Group had also taken a hit.
The company had a lot of subsidiaries. Recently, a lot of them, such as the real estate arm and the F&B arm, experienced strouble.
Speople were manipulating things from the shadows. They were from all sorts of shadowy organizations.
When running a business, the scariest threats cfrom the ones hiding in the dark. Even Bryan had received word of what was happening.
“If this goes on, your losses will be overwhelming. What’s your next move?”
“You know me. It’s going to be an eye for an eye. I’ll make them pay a hundred times over.”

“But he didn’t expectto let Liv go free. So, even I don’t know where she is. Needless to say, no one else knows. Without my biggest weakness, what else can he possibly do?”
Initially, everything was part of the plan. Sending Olivia away meant he could do whatever he needed to without any reservations.
The only uncertainty was Jack. If Jack was on his side, he would emerge victorious. But if Jack had ulterior motives, he would be defeated because of Olivia.
“Not being able to find Olivia might not be a bad thing. We’ll only have to trust that Jack has no ill intent.
“If he really wanted to do anything malicious, he had many chances to do so in the past two years. Your twins were with him the whole time, but he didn’t do anything to them.”
Ethan sighed. “I hope so.”
He could only hope that everything would go as he had planned without any more accidents.
He thought, “Liv, you have to stay safe.”
As if sensing Ethan’s thoughts, Olivia woke up abruptly and gasped for breath. She actually heard the heart -wrenching cries of a baby in her dreams.
There was a person standing a short distance away from her. The mask was reflecting the moonlight.
The twins were sleeping next to Olivia. She placed a hand on her chest in fright.
“W-What do you need?”
Jack probably didn’t expect her to wake up.
Olivia couldn’t see his expression because his face was hidden behind the mask.
For sreason, maybe it was the dim lighting, Olivia felt like Jack was looking at her in a weird way.
“It’s nothing. I just heard you talking, so I cin to check. Were you having a nightmare?”
“Yeah.” Olivia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She didn’t feel like sleeping anymore after such a scare.

She always had questions for Jack but never had the opportunity to ask. They finally had a moment of peace.
The insects were chirping outside. It was the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere.
The town was very poor, and it was especially obvious at night. It was dark everywhere, unlike the city. where lights were all around.
There was a lone lightbulb at the entrance of the town. Its dim light could only illuminate a small area, but it attracted a lot of moths.
“Is it cold?” Jack asked.
Olivia sat down on the steps of the door and looked at the starry night sky.
She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Jack, doesn’t this feel like we were back on the island?”
“Yeah, when Tom and Jerry were still there.”
“I met Jerry stago. He’s about to go to university. He’s a promising kid and has a bright future ahead of him.
“I heard that Tom has been going out on missions. He’s a very impressive young man, too.”
Olivia was reminiscing.
“Jack, there’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask.”
