"Eveline Cain," Aren repeated the name under his breath. "Sound familiar to you?"
Miu shook her head in silence.
"Hmm, alright. Thanks, Elias."
"You're welcome, now that we're even, please don't call me again."
"Right…"
The call ended just as quickly as it began.
Aren lowered the phone slowly, his gaze lingering on the darkened screen for a moment longer than necessary. He tried to make sense of the timeline, of what happened in the past.
Three years ago…that was before even the Sun City attack. And if what Elias said was true about her sponsor being 'killed in an accident' 2 years ago…
How come I didn't hear anything about it?
Aren exhaled quietly, leaning back in his chair as his eyes drifted toward the window. Yet, that was when he realized something.
He dug into his bag before pulling out the small folder that Stella had handed to him on the train toward Misarck—the case folder that contained Shen's information.
His eyes widened as he connected the details.
