In the end, Brian admitted defeat gentlemanly and went to wash the dishes. He had been training for years, for he had been. throwing darts when he was bored ever since he moved into this villa. Yet, how long has this brat learned? An hour at most? And he’s become this good? Is he some sort of a monster?
Eugene was calling Olivia when she was on set, so she did not answer it. Later, it was Jewel who informed her about it. As such, this made her worried as her mind was wandering elsewhere during dinner.
Although the cast shared a meal, her mind remained out of the zone. Suddenly, a voice sounded opposite her. “Is the food not to your liking today?”
Looking up, she found that it was Avery, who played Caspian Alpin in the show, talking to her, so she smiled. “It’s not. It’s just that something is on my mind.” Avery Mauve chuckled. “What is it? You can say it. I might be able to help you.”
His words made Olivia frown. He’s being like this again. I haven’t heard this actor’s name before, so he must be a newbie. Yet, he has an arrogant and nonchalant gaze, which a newbie should not have.
Especially with his sinister smirk, it strangely reminded her of Christoff, who was wild and dangerous. Still, the unfamiliar voice and face told her that she was wrong. “It’s private,” she vaguely replied.
Still smiling, Avery said, ‘Okay, that’s fine, but I think you’ll come to me for help soon.” Hearing that, she shot him a warning glance without saying anything. Help? Why would I seek him for help?
After school, North tried to contact Eugene again but to no avail. This made him suspect why he could not contact his father. If it’s because he was on the airplane and I couldn’t contact him, then fair enough. Yet, why can’t I contact him today?
As such, he found Brian in a hurry and asked, “Uncle Brian, did you manage to contact my daddy?” He responded, “I called him once this afternoon, but he didn’t pick up. You can’t reach him either?”
Somewhat in a panic, North replied, “I can’t. Do you have any other way of contacting him?”
“I can try calling Curtis.” While saying that, Brian phoned Curtis. Although he did pick up, the answer was not as optimistic. “Eugene had arrived. After understanding the case, they found that the accident was a plot, for one could see knife marks where the rope was snapped. Yet, before he could look into it any closer, the local police called him to assist with their investigation. Till now, he hasn’t come out.”
Hearing that, North nodded knowingly. “No wonder he hasn’t been picking up any of my calls.” He turned to his computer again. “Where did it happen? I want to look into it. Since it was planned, they must have left something behind.”
Brian, who did not doubt his nephew’s investigative prowess, sat beside him and helped him with the case. Just as he sat down, Olivia came calling.
“Olivia…” He had a surprised tone. Although everyone in the family now addressed her lovingly as ‘Liv, he had still yet to call her that way out of habit. Obviously, Olivia did not mind this as she asked, “Did you manage to contact your brother?”
He stated, “No, but I managed to call Curtis.” He then relayed what Curtis had said earlier to her..
