Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica I Choose The Arranged Marriage

Chapter 197

The light inside the cabinet was dim, and Aveline was trembling with fear. If she had known it would be this scary, she would never have come in the first place.

Seeing her shivering violently, a familiar low chuckle suddenly came from the pitch-black cabinet.

Why did Aveline feel like this laughter sounded so much like a person she knew?

Just then, he turned on a prop light, and the eerie green light fell on that pale face. Aveline was about to scream when the familiar voice spoke, "It's me."

Aveline was taken aback, swallowed hard, and cautiously called out his name, "Owen?"

"Yeah." The man, who was usually serious, spoke with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Sorry for meeting you in this way. I didn't know you were so easily scared." In fact, he had not intention of scaring Aveline. He had dressed up like this just to evade the bodyguards.

Little did he know that as soon as they met, Aveline grabbed him and ran.

Aveline patted her chest and said, "People can be scared to death."

Since Owen had known Aveline, even when they first met and he held a knife to her neck, she wasn't as scared as she was now. This version of her made him quite annoyed.

"Alright, to the point. I've got some leads on the person you asked me to investigate." Owen stopped teasing her and quickly told Aveline what he had found.

"What did you find?"

"Your mention of Mason coming back from overseas was false. He has been going abroad occasionally in the past few years, but it was just for business trips."

Sure enough, this Mason was suspicious. The mastermind behind the scenes had placed some pieces around Alexander and herself. When she was at her wit's end, Mason was the piece placed by that person beside her. The information that Detective Yorker found was just what that person wanted

her to know.

The report in Alexander's hands was questionable, as everything was overshadowed by the fact that Anthony was lying unconscious in the hospital bed, covering up all the truths

That person knew how important Anthony was to Aveline. He was the most crucial piece and would definitely be used in the most important part of the plan.

"Can you find out who is behind Mason?".

Owen furrowed his brows. Although his face was covered in white dye, upon closer inspection, Aveline found that his facial contours were sharp and aggressive. If he wiped off this disguise, he would definitely be a handsome man.

"It's still too early. At the moment, I haven't found out. But at most, in ten days to half a month, I will give you an answer."

In fact, it wouldn't take that long, but just to be on the safe side, he deliberately delayed it.

“Besides Dr. Cravel and Mason, I need to trouble you with one more thing, Owen."

Without any hesitation, Owen replied, "Go ahead."

"Find a good sanatorium for my father. The place he is currently in is no longer safe. He could 'become a discarded pawn at any time. I want to secretly send him away without anyone knowing. I can only trust you, as there must be spies around me and Alexander. I have no one else to turn to."

Aveline felt that she was imposing on Owen since they were not close at all.

She added, "I only have five hundred million left now. I can't take this money with me even if I die. I will leave it to you as a reward for helping me."

Owen looked at her deeply, seeming somewhat disdainful. "Our deal is based on trust. Your word is

enough."

Aveline nodded. "I may need your help with one more thing."

"Yeah?"

"Take me away from here. I want to investigate Sheila. That girl has many secrets."
