"Are you sure?" Kevin frowned. His eyes were filled with concern.
He understood the risk and uneasiness behind the decision I had made, but he also respected my insistence in the pursuit of truth.
I nodded. I was determined. "Yes, I have to go back.
"I feel like all of these are pointing toward a bigger scheme behind things, and that Jack was just a pawn. I needed to find out all of these for myself, not just for his assets, but for the questions I had in my heart as well."
Kevin sighed as he patted my shoulders. "Okay, I respect your decision. You have to be careful.
"The things you're investigating aren't something simple that may involve greater forces supporting all of these people. If you need help, let me know at any time."
I looked gratefully at him as warmth filled my heart.
In this complex, ever-changing world, it was rare to have a friend like him who would support you unconditionally.
After returning to the hotel, I started to pack my things up and prepare for my trip.
Before I left, I was contemplating if I should meet Ethan one last time.
He was sure to return to the Grayson residence now that he was back, but I didn't want anything to do with the Graysons.
Suddenly, I received a phone call from Ian.
On the other end of the phone, Ian's firm voice was laced with subtle gentleness and was different from his usual high-and-mighty, you-shall-not-cross-me attitude. "I heard you're about to leave soon, Ms. Wiley. There are some things that I feel like I need to tell you before you leave."
