Declan and his wife sensibly moved aside. It was fine for Olivia to read the letter, but they had no right to do so.

The moment she opened the letter, she was dumbfounded. The content was straightforward, as it only included one sentence. ‘If you wish to get your relative’s ashes back, come to Green Lake Manor at midnight tomorrow.’

Relative’s ashes? Olivia frowned as she wondered whose ashes it was. Thomas was an orphan and had no relatives. Could the sender be mistaken? But it can’t be because it says ‘To Thomas’, so there’s no mistake. Wait! Who says Thomas has no relatives? He has a godsister, Chloe. Although they aren’t related by blood, they are considered relatives, right? Could it be…

She felt like she suddenly understood something and quickly shot up to her feet and ran toward the villa’s entrance.

“Olivia, where are you going?” Declan and his wife were puzzled as they wondered why Olivia reacted like that after reading the letter.

“Uncle Declan, Aunt Yuna, don’t mind me. I’m going to look for Thomas.” Olivia had changed her shoes and was about to leave.

“Wait. I’ll send you there.” Declan got up as well.

“Okay!” Olivia did not reject his offer because Northpine Villa was in the suburbs of Irieson, so she had to take a cab to get to the rental. It was difficult to do so in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, he was puzzled as he wondered what was in the letter. However, he held back his confusion and did not ask about it.

Forty minutes later, Olivia arrived at the rental’s door and pressed the doorbell. Adam came to open the door and was taken aback when he saw her. “Are you here to look for Thomas?” He knew her because they had previously shared a meal, and her beauty was something one could never forget. Therefore, he naturally remembered her.
