"Sure thing, Mr. Maxwell."

Ike shot a glance at Olivia with a complicated expression.

Wayne let go of Olivia. "If you please, Dr. Ophelia."

Olivia looked at the bodyguarding surrounding them. She had no chance of escaping.

Wayne didn't give her an option. She was forced into the car. He also got in and sat beside her.

Seeing her nervous expression, Wayne chuckled. "What? Are you afraid of me?"

Olivia leaned on the door as much as possible as she tried to distance herself from him. But the car was only so big, there was nowhere for her to hide.

She only brought her keys up the hill because her pockets were small. Her phone was in her car. She didn't expect to meet Wayne, after all. Olivia reassured herself. She was Mason's granddaughter, so Wayne wouldn't dare to do anything to her while they were in Aldenvine. Even though that was what she thought, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She sat up straight and looked straight ahead.

"Of course that's not the case."

She didn't expect Wayne to be so shameless. He didn't care about chivalry or being a gentleman.

It didn't matter if she moved away. He just moved to the middle and closed the distance between them.

"Since you like sitting there, I'll help you with it."

Olivia was at a loss for words. She was pressed against the door without any extra space.

Their clothes were unavoidably snugly pressed against one another. Olivia was grateful for the cold weather in Aldenvine. If they were back in Raka, the heat would make things quite awkward.

She just wanted to get back to the Heath Residence as soon as possible so this hellish encounter would end.

"Dr. Ophelia, I know all about you and your ex-husband. I feel bad for you."

Olivia gave him a cold smile. "Thank you."

Wayne unbuttoned his sleeve and pulled it up to reveal the expensive watch he was wearing and the black ring on his left hand.

It was like he was mocking Olivia for trying so hard and accomplishing nothing.

"Do you like this ring, Dr. Ophelia?"

Olivia shook her head. "No, I don't.”

"Really? I thought this ring, for which you risked your life, would matter to you. That was why I got a new one made."

He took another ring out of his pocket. It was smaller, clearly a woman's ring. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wayne held the ring before Olivia's face. "This ring has the same functions as the one I'm wearing."

Olivia's expression changed drastically. "What do you mean?" Wayne had a nonchalant smile on his face.

“I told you I can give it to you if you want it."

That was a key to his military base. Was he out of his mind?

“Your mission won't be considered a failure if you take this ring with you, right?"

He was like the devil as he tried to tempt Olivia.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Maxwell. I have no idea what you're talking about.” Olivia was prepared to feign ignorance to the end. The reason she accepted that mission was to get closer to the boss behind the Black Ravens.

It was so that she could get to the bottom of the assassination that happened to her back then. But she didn't have to go through with it. She would rather conduct her own investigation than deal with Wayne any longer.

Everything had a price. She would have to pay a great price if she wanted that ring.

"Dr. Ophelia, it would be boring if you keep playing dumb."

Wayne leaned toward her.

Olivia frowned. "Mr. Maxwell, please watch yourself!"

"Dr. Ophelia, do you know..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a gunshot rang out. A bullet was shot at the window, right where Olivia's head was.
