221. How Will It Possible?
Aria sat alone, turning everything over in her mind. She thought carefully about what Marvin had said, and the more she reflected on it, the more it made sense.She was certain now—he had been telling the truth. Marvin was right when he said he would be doing most of the work. As a census officer, he had access, experience, and knowledge that she simply didn’t. Even though he worked privately, he still had a far better chance of gathering useful information than anyone else involved in the case.Aria exhaled softly. There was no way she could handle all of this on her own. She needed someone skilled—someone who understood the system well enough to navigate it without drawing unnecessary attention. And considering Marvin’s position, private or not, he was the best fit.She hated how easily the truth settled in her chest, but she couldn’t deny it. Marvin was the only person she could trust with this.Just as she was about to give in to the decision she had already made in her heart, Mar
220. What's The Plan?
Marvin shook his head slowly.It was obvious he had seen something like this coming—long before now.Without saying another word, he walked toward the car they had been leaning against. It was his car. Reaching the driver’s side, he unlocked it and leaned inside, stretching out his arm. After a brief search, he pulled out a document and straightened up.He extended it toward Aria.Startled by the sudden gesture, Aria frowned as she stared at the papers.“Documents?” she asked, confusion clear in her voice. “What are these for?”Marvin met her gaze calmly.“It’s about the plan we’ve been talking about, Aria,” he said. “This is the solution to the question you just asked.”Aria hesitated, her brows knitting together.“Are you sure about what you’re saying?” she asked.Instead of answering directly, Marvin nudged the document closer to her.“Just take a look at it first,” he replied firmly. “This is exactly what both of us need for this plan to even go through.”Aria rubbed the bridge of
219. We Need More Proof!
As Aria hurried to meet up with Marvel, she moved with deliberate haste, constantly glancing over her shoulder to make sure no one was following her—especially Tyler, whom she suspected wasn’t ready to let her go anywhere alone.Hopefully, no one had tailed her to the park.When she finally arrived, she pulled out her phone and sent Marvel a message.Hi, I’m in the said location. Where are you?It didn’t take long before her phone buzzed.Turn!Aria turned instantly.She spotted him.Marvel stood a short distance away, watching her closely. Without saying a word, he gestured for her to follow him and walked toward a less visible area of the garage. When they got there, Aria immediately slipped on her shades, adjusting them carefully.She didn’t want anyone around to recognize her—especially not now, when she had too many things to cover up and her name had been flying from one news source to another.Once they settled into position, she subtly adjusted her glasses again, then lifted h
218. It's Up To You
Tyler ran a hand through his hair, frustration tightening his jaw. Aisha sounded as though she was trying to make sense, and even while issuing a warning, she remained respectful—careful not to overstep.Yet that was exactly what unsettled him.What was she really getting at? Where was her point leading?The question refused to stay buried. It pressed against his chest until silence became unbearable.Tyler drew in a deep breath, steadying himself, then looked directly at her.“I already understand your point clearly, Aisha,” he said, his tone calm but edged with tension. “Aria’s presence in the company could put my identity on the line.”He paused, fingers curling slightly at his side.“But what I don’t understand,” he continued, lifting his gaze to meet hers, “is what you’re suggesting I should do.”A brief silence stretched between them as he exhaled slowly.“I’m not ready to let the world know who I am,” Tyler added firmly. “At least, not now.” His brows knitted together. “Yet you
217. Remove Her
Staring at the message on her screen, Aria was confused at first.The word fingerprints jumped out at her, setting her thoughts racing. It didn’t take long before everything clicked—the message was connected to the thumbprint plan they had been carefully working on for a long time.A slow smile spread across her face.This is it.Without wasting another second, she typed a reply.> “Wow! This is such good news. Meet up with me at the garage. I’ll see you there!”Moments later, her phone buzzed.> “Okay, no problem! On my way there!”As Aria slipped her phone back into her hand, Tyler noticed something was off. She was no longer walking beside him.He slowed to a stop, turned around, and saw her standing a few steps behind, completely absorbed in her phone.“Aria,” he called, concern creeping into his voice. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you walking in? Did something come up?”Aria lifted her head and nodded quickly, her grip tightening around her phone.“Yes. Something came up,” she said,
216. Let's Meet Up
Becca couldn’t believe her ears. This was the highest form of disrespect she had received in years—and once again, it was coming from Aria. All because of Tyler.She wanted to stand her ground. To challenge them, or at the very least prove she wasn’t some inferior nobody. But where was the courage when she needed it most?First, they were still on her property.Second, not a single person present seemed to be on her side.And third… who would even support her?Perry?Yes.She still had Perry by her side.That realization gave her the audacity she’d been grasping for. Becca stepped forward, her jaw tightening as she shook her head at Aria, disbelief written plainly across her face.“You think you can drive us out of here?” Becca asked sharply, her voice cutting through the murmurs around them. “Do you even know who we are?”She let out a short, incredulous laugh, lifting her chin as she continued, “If we take this case forward, do you honestly believe you stand a chance at winning?”Be
