    Chapter 531


    Cyril put his phone away. He had no idea why Olivia would suddenly ask that question. He wondered if


    she had found something.


    He went to the surveince room in person. The vi was situated halfway up the mountain.


    Surveince 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, they


    would keep watch on


    the vehicle in real time.


    This was a remote ce, and a mansion was also built there. Ordinary people wouldn’t normallye


    here.


    Even if some hikers asionally came to the mountain, they would be told to turn back halfway


    through.


    Usually, only the Millers’ cars were seen in this area, transporting various resources. No strangers


    would 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 surveince cameras on the bottom had cked


    out.


    Those cameras were installed on the cliffside. The cliff was steep, and the water level was on the rise


    these 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, he


    left the surveince


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    room.


    He had already confirmed that nothing was off, but Cyril kept feeling uneasy about it. He felt as if he


    had overlooked something.


    But he didn’t know what it was.


    A figure suddenly shed 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 felt


    that 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 finger


    and thumb was filled


    with calluses.


    Mona once said that her upperssman was working on academic research overseas. It didn’t make


    sense for someone who always usedputers 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 holding


    guns. That was the only reason why he had those traces on that spot!


    Cyril thought back on it. There was something suspicious about the ident Mona’s younger brother


    got into. He wasn’t seriously hurt at all.


    Cyril thought about the possibility of the ident being a bait to lure Mona away. Warren’s true target


    might be Olivia instead.


    There could be something wrong about the bracelet Mona so fondly admired all day. If a tracker were


    inside, 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 the


    night shift. He had to make sure that there were no mistakes.


    He had just dialed the number when he heard a woman screaming.


    “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 was


    wide 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 ck. It was only after he zoomed in that he could make out a figure in the


    darkness. The corners of the person’s lips were curled up like a phantom.


    His gaze


    fell upon thest 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 and


    helmets!


    There were also gliders constantlynding above them. Cyril couldn’t believe that they had chosen to


    land in such a risky way.


    It made sense now that no figures could be seen on the surveince 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, he


    remembered 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, Ethany down again.


    But he didn’t feel like sleeping at all.


    Lightning shed 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 sote at night if it didn’t have


    anything 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!”
