There was barely any light in the cabinet.
Olivia was trembling in fear. She would not have cif she knew how scary it was.
A familiar voice suddenly started laughing softly next to her. The person was amused by her fear.
The voice resembled someone she knew.
At that moment, a prop lamp was turned on. Eerie green light shone on his deathly pale face.
Olivia was about to scream, then the voice said, "It's me."
Olivia paused and swallowed nervously. She called out his ncarefully, "Jack?"
"Yeah." The usually reserved man's voice had a hint of joy.
"I'm sorry we have to meet this way. I didn't know you were so easily scared."

He didn't expect to be grabbed and dragged along by Olivia before he could speak.
Olivia patted herself on the chest and said, "You scaredto death."
Jack has never seen Olivia so frightened, not even when he had a knife against her throat when they first met.
She looked livelier this way.
"Okay, let's get back to the main issue. I've got a lead on the person you askedto look into." Jack stopped teasing her and updated her on his investigation.
"What did you find?"
"The Ryan you mentioned didn't cback to the country recently. Occasionally, he travels overseas on business trips."
Olivia was not surprised that something was fishy about Ryan. She knew that the mastermind had spawns placed around her and Ethan.
When she was at her wits' end, Ryan was the pawn that the mastermind placed close to her.
The information that Lee uncovered was only the information that the mastermind wanted her to know.
It was still up for debate how much of the information was true in the report Ethan had.
The truth was still under wraps because Jeff was still unconscious in the hospital.
The mastermind knew Jeff's importance to Olivia.
He was an important piece of the puzzle, which was why he was going to be used as the most integral part of the scheme.
"Can you find out who Ryan is working for?"
Jack was frowning. Although his face was painted white, Olivia could see that he had a strong jawline.
His facial features were well-defined and sharp.
He was definitely a good-looking guy underneath the face paint.
"I didn't have enough time. So, I haven't uncovered anything about that yet. But I'll have something for you in two weeks, tops."

Jack said without hesitation, "What is it?"
"Find a good nursing hfor my father. His current location is no longer safe. He could beca forsaken pawn at any time.
"You need to take him away without anyone knowing. I can't do it because that person must have someone spying onand Ethan.
"You're the only one I can trust."
Olivia felt like she was asking too much of Jack. They weren't family or friends.
She added, "I only have 500 million dollars left now. I can't take this money withto the afterlife. I will leave it to you as compensation."
Jack looked at her with a hint of condescension. "Our deal was the island. You have kept your word. That's enough for me."
Olivia nodded and said, "There's one more thing I need your help with."
"Yes?"
"Takeaway from here. I want to go and investigate Belle. She is full of secrets."
