Spies, fake evidences, and redemption...
These words kept going around in Kevin Kyle's mind. His thoughts were getting clearer, and he was getting closer to the truth.
Twenty years ago, Mia Kyle's birth parents suddenly disappeared. This was because Herbert Ken had accused them of being military spies who had stolen confidential documents from the military region of Chatterton Town.
Now, they were trying to find out if Mia Kyle's parents had been framed by Herbert Ken. Besides, they needed to know the Old Master's role in the incident, and the relationship between the Old Master and Mia Kyle's biological parents.
This incident involved his own grandfather, Karen Daly's father, the Brown family, and Mia's parents.
To Kevin Kyle, these people were all closely related to him...
It doesn't matter if Herbert Ken did frame Mia Kyle's biological parents, or if Mia's biological parents were indeed spies, Kevin just had to give Karen a sense of closure with a proper explanation.
However, Kevin Kyle was unaware that after he left the room, Karen Daly had been woken up by a phone call. It was the Old Master's assistant, Assistant Hart.
"Miss Daly, good evening." After Karen Daly answered, Assistant Hart, greeted her politely.
Karen Daly was very familiar with his disguise.
Three years ago, when they sent her to the abyss of hell, Assistant Hart spoke to her in such a hypocritical manner too.
Karen recalled the situation that day. She remembered how she was too weak to resist them and had to protect her child.
Suddenly, she broke out in a cold sweat.
She thought of Kevin Kyle. When she turned around, she saw that Karen Joy Kyle was still lying beside her, but Kevin was gone.
When she noticed that Kevin Kyle was not around, Karen Daly's heart skipped a beat. Before she could speak, Assistant Hart spoke again.
"Miss Daly, you're really lucky. As the saying goes, good blessings will come after a great disaster. I think you'll have a good life in the future. Oh, I almost forgot that you have a daughter... Such a lovely child will grow up well, right? It's a pity if she doesn't."
Assistant Hart's ghost-like voice reached Karen Daly's spine. She became fully awake.
Karen clenched her mobile phone tightly, gritted her teeth, and said calmly, "Assistant Hart, please let your Old Master know this. If he would like for me to stay still and not expose certain matters, then please watch your steps. Anyone who hurts my daughter answers directly to me."
"Are you implying that you know what we want?" Assistant Hart let out a cold laugh.
"Yes." Karen Daly answered with certainty.
If they knew that there were important evidences of them in her hands, maybe they would be gentler with their tricks. However, she also understood that her plan might backfire.
"Hand over the things to us and don't tell Kevin Kyle a single word. Then, we will not interfere with each other anymore in the future. Let's pretend that nothing has happened." He added.
"Pretend that nothing has happened?" Karen Daly asked. This was probably the funniest line she had ever heard in her life.
Did they understand that they attacked her first? She was a victim and it was not up to them to have the final say.
"Miss Daly, you are a smart person. You should know your place and your boundaries. Before anything bad happens, everything's up for discussion. If not, then the consequences are absolutely not what you can bear."
