And the company could weather the loss of a branch.

Alick didn't openly oppose Camila's decision.

But he harbored reservations.

“Based on what I've found, it's doubtful Mr. Johnston is in Darnley's hands," he admitted, uncertainty lacing his tone.

Camila passed the message she received to Alick, her eyes serious as she handed him her phone.

Alick glanced at the message, concern creasing his brow.

He immediately enlisted someone to track down the message's origin, but hit a roadblock.

The address was confidential.

It couldn't be investigated.

Frustrated, Camila turned to Alick. “Why do you think Isaac's not in his hands?"

“I know Mr. Johnston; he wouldn't let Darnley get you involved. He will definitely try to discuss this matter alone with Darnley," Alick replied confidently.

Camila fell silent, considering Alick's words.

Yes!

Isaac wouldn't allow his family to get implicated.

"But what if Isaac's hurt and is being controlled by Darnley?"

"Isaac is fine; I'm sure of it. Just look at Willie," Alick said to her, his tone firm.

They might have both parachuted at the same time.

Since Willie was safe and sound, how could Isaac get seriously injured? At most, he might get some minor injury and could still move freely.

But Alick's confidence didn't hold true.

Isaac had indeed been injured.
