NovelOnlineChapter 0067 Neal was just an ordinary officer back then.
I arranged to meet him at a cafe near the university. Through the clear window, I saw him approachingstep by step.

I didn't expect that one conversation would help clear my suspicion. What I aimed to do was plant a seed of doubt in his mind, allowing fear to grow infinitely within him. When he couldn't bear it anymore and felt trapped that was when he would surely contact me. Back home, I received a call from Yasmine. "Ari, I've just sent Marcelo's Information to your email." "Where did you get it from?"
