Ste nodded and responded with a smile, “Yes, I will.


    And you, take care of yourself too.

    Kristian kept his hand raised until the airne ascended.


    He bid Matthew an insincere farewell before boarding for Lyllmann.


    After Kristian left, Matthew’s expression gradually grew stern.


    He pressed his lips together and watched the ne with Ste and Be aboard.

    “Where are you now?”


    “What’s the matter?” Matthew asked.


    “I’ve looked into what you asked, and you were correct.

    I spoke with other ssmates to get more information.

    After a brief pause, he continued with increased gravity, “From what they recall, Aarya was the standout beauty at their university and even helped Ethan with his tuition fees.

    Matthew’s gaze intensified.


    “What else did you uncover?” he demanded.

    He’s the spitting image of the man in the photo you showed me.

    “What about Haley’s elusive boyfriend?” Matthew inquired.


    “That’s Ethan!” Neville blurted out, frustrationcing his voice.

    “After connecting the dots to Ethan, I kept digging.


    It turns out, Ethan was the one reaching out to Haley.


    ”


    Neville shook his head and added, “Kristian’s tactics are devious.


    He set a trap right under Be’s nose.


    Without your vignce, we might never have uncovered his real identity.
