She still wanted to be by her father’s side the most.
After she had dinner, she called Hunter. They hadn’t spoken to each other since he left. If the staff weren’t caring for her every need, she would start to think she had been abandoned on this deserted island.
The call went through. Hunter’s deep voice sounded from the other end. “Hello?”
In the past, Madison’s heart would skip a beat whenever she heard his voice. But now, there was only calm.
Madison asked, “How long do you plan to keep me prisoner?”
Hunter frowned at her choice of words. “Aren’t you having fun on the island?”
He had designed the island according to her preferences. He was sure no matter how picky she was, he wouldn’t be dule in find a problem with it Madison replied honestly, “The island is great. I even have the urge to stay here for the rest of my life but i want to go back for + bit I’m worried about my father”
She pleaded softly, “Hunter, please let me go back for a while, okay?”
Hunter rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He couldn’t refuse her request *I’ll send someone to pick you up in a few days”
After he hung up, Hunter looked at all the new leads before him. In the time Madison was out of town, he had gotten to investigating the whereabouts of Toxic Hive and about the past.
He found the hometown of Paul Cruz and Clara Foster. According to what his people found out, the child had been gone for some days. From the pictures provided by the villagers, the child looked a lot like Belle and had some of Paul’s features.
Paul and Clara had also disappeared from Aldenvine. Even though he couldn’t bring the child back, their existence was proof enough.
Someone had pinned the blame on Jeff. The claims about Belle having his baby and Jeff forcing her away, which caused her to suffer from mental illness before she ultimately committed suicide didn’t hold up to scrutiny.
Someone had plotted everything, even before Jeff’s traffic accident. But it didn’t seem like the person wanted to harm him. Their main objective was to destroy his relationship with Madison.
The person went to great lengths to get him to divorce Madison. They spent countless time and energy over a few years to set everything up.
Now that most of the truth was revealed, one thing remained a mystery. What did the person stand to gain from his divorce? If it was to take Madison’s place, no young women had approached him in the two years he was divorced.
Hunter also didn’t understand the connection between Leia’s death and Jeff.
After he went through all his leads, he looked at Brent and asked, “Did that Moriarty kid take any action?”
“No. His routine has been very simple. He spends most of his time at the office and goes home afterward. Besides the occasional social engagement, he hasn’t been anywhere special.”
“What about people he socialized with?”
“We’ve people keeping an eye on those people as well. We haven’t noticed anything off about them. But our tapping devices are running out of power soon.
“Mr. Williams, we’ve spent the entire week keeping an eye on the kid. We haven’t found anything suspicious. Could we be wrong about him? Maybe his motive was just to help Mrs. Williams escape.”
Hunter rested his head on his hands and said with a severe expression, “No. The most suspicious thing abou. is that we can’t find anything wrong with him.”
Hunter felt like Colin seemed too calm. He wasn’t even 20 years old, but he didn’t even show the slightest bit of fear when he was about to be thrown overboard.
He might’ve already known it wouldn’t happen. Hunter recalled Madison’s actions that night. Colin had stood farther from Madison than him, but they grabbed Madison almost simultaneously.
That meant he had known what Madison was about to do. Hunter smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect Madison to pull a stunt like that just to get him to let Colin off the hook.
But there was nothing Hunter could do even if he knew. Colin was cunning. Hunter had already witnessed that firsthand.
“If my guess is correct, he must’ve known we would monitor him.”
Brent was stunned momentarily. “So that means he has been putting on a show for us? Damn, this kid is so cunning.
“No wonder he would always go the longer route. Sometimes, he’d buy a slice of cake. Other times, he’d buy pastries. So he’s been playing us all along.”
Hunter said with a grunt, “He’ll reveal his true colors eventually. He’ll keep scheming as long as Liv doesn’t show up. We have the initiative.”
“Mr. Williams, you mean …”
“Liv wants to come back. I need to clear out all the threats before she does.”
Brent frowned. “But we haven’t found Toxic Hive’s lair.”
“If we can’t trap them in their lair, why don’t we lure them out?”
They had always been put in a passive position and manipulated at every turn.
“What will we use as bait?”
Hunter stood up. His coat slipped off his shoulders as he moved. His tall figure blocked the light above, casting a shadow over his desk. His face was shrouded in the shadows.
Only the silhouette of his face was visible. He was like the devil in the dark.
He said slowly, “Me.”.
Meanwhile, at the Moriarty residence, Colin was toying with a tapping device on his palm. He smirked as its power ran out. He then threw it on the floor and stomped on it.
The device was instantly crushed, and Colin disappeared into the darkness.
There was a hidden tunnel under the cherry blossom tree in the garden of the Moriarty residence. Colin jumped into it.
At a certain underground base outside of the city, Colin was seen in a black outfit and a mask. Scanning his fingerprint, he entered the base.
He walked down a long dimly-lit flight of stairs where the air smelled like mold and rotten corpses.
He walked through a door, and the scenery behind it was completely different. There were advanced mechanical devices glowing with blue lights and robots everywhere.
His identity was being verified at the door. A robotic voice said, “Verified. Welcome home, Leo.”
Colin quickly walked forward, but someone pressed something against his head.
A woman asked, “Where did you take the old man?”
The gentleness he usually showed for Madison was gone. He swung his elbow hard toward his back with a sullen face. The woman dodged instinctively.
He used the opening to grab the woman and got behind her. With one hand, he grabbed her arm and pressed his other hand against the back of her head toward the wall.
The vixen mask on the woman’s face made a sharp sound as it rubbed against the wall.
He was very rough with her. “Didn’t I tell you that you can do whatever you want as long as you keep your hands off her?”
The woman smirked.
“Why are you so subservient when it comes to her? I’m curious what kind of magic she has to be able to mesmerize every one of you.”
“That has nothing to do with you! Stop interfering with the Evanss! Or else…”
Colin lowered his voice and continued, “Don’t blame me if I lay my hands on him.”
“You can certainly try. Do you think he’s useless like Madison?” The woman didn’t care about his threat.
“I heard you were met with a setback this time.”
The woman’s merciless mockery rang in his ears, striking Colin’s nerve. He applied even more pressure as a re “Did you already know his identity and not report it?”
“What about you? You also took Jeff away behind my back. You’re just as bad as me, so zip it.”
A voice came from behind Colin. “I see you’re both aware you’re as bad as each other. Now let her go.”
Colin released the woman in frustration before looking at the person behind him.
The person was still the same as she was ten years ago. She wore a huge hat and a cape that covered her from top to toe. She also wore a demon mask.
A pale hand reached out from within the black cape. Her fingernails were covered in crimson nail polish. In her hand was a test tube with some liquid in it.
“Here’s a new mission.”
Colin could feel her gaze fall on him. He bowed slightly and said softly, “What’s the mission?”
“Come with me.”
Colin and the woman in the vixen mask looked at each other before following the woman. They set aside their grudge momentarily. Their faces became serious under their respective masks.
