"What are you doing?" Elin exclaimed, startled. She leaned over in a hurry to hit the end call button.

Erick didn't try to stop her. He just looked down at her and asked, "Just wanna ask her whether the studio will shut down when you're not there?"

“Don't you dare!" Elin's voice spiked with panic. She had always been reserved around Erick, but since last night, things had changed slightly, making them feel a bit closer. Now, she resembled a flustered little rabbit, almost ready to snap.

Erick gave a mischievous smile. "Alright, then give me a reason."

Elin fell silent.

During the silence, the car had already started moving.

In the sleek black car parked in front of the restaurant, Mitchel's lips were pressed tightly together as he watched the car carrying Raegan pull away.

The atmosphere inside Mitchel's car turned icy.

Matteo inquired, "Mr. Dixon, where are we heading?"

“Just follow them."

Matteo complied and began tailing the car carrying Raegan.

They continued until the car pulled up at West Lake Villa. Matteo parked a little way off, keeping a low profile.

Stefan, behind the wheel, moved with an elegant ease and swiftly went around the vehicle to open the door for Raegan.

Standing by the car, Stefan and Raegan exchanged a few brief words before Stefan nudged Raegan, urging her to go inside.

Raegan gave Stefan a warm smile. "Thanks for everything, Stefan. I'll treat you to dinner someday."

"There's no need for formalities," Stefan responded.

As Raegan started to walk away, she paused and turned back to face Stefan. “Did you come across any new leads during your trip to Aurora?"

“I did. I looked into the Maxwell family's migration details, and the timings for five individuals lined up." Stefan had intended to talk about this the next day, but Raegan's question prompted him to pull out a burner phone.

Stefan then showed Raegan the images of the five individuals.

Raegan's eyes widened when she spotted a man with a scar near his eye, and she gasped in shock, "That's him!"
