In the end, Brian admitted defeat gentlemanly and went to wash the dishes. He had been training for years, for he

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?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking 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

After school, North tried to contact Eugene again but to no avail. This made him suspect why he could not contact

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

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..
