Chapter 104: The Copy and the Secrets It Held
Callian sat at his desk, staring at the package that had just arrived.
His name was scrawled neatly across the top, but there was no mistaking the sender.
He knew Mike's methods well.
Precisely, he ripped it open, revealing a neatly bound copy of Eira's diary.
His fingers flipped through the pages, his eyes started reading each word.
But Callian didn't like that the diary's pages were too fresh.
"This is a copy," Callian muttered, his teeth gritted as he grabbed his phone.
Mike picked up on the second ring, his tone unbothered. "Mr. Reed. Received your package, I assume?"
"Don't play games with me," Callian growled. "You sent me a copy. Where is the original?"
Mike's voice remained steady, even smug. "I thought you'd appreciate the precaution. The original is safe. For now."
