Chapter 198

Cynthia quickly alerted Jonathan and said, "Are you done? Someone's coming." Jonathan frowned deeply, fully focused. Three minutes, I need three more minutes."

Cynthia was intently watching the person in the distance. Luckily, the corridor was long enough. The footsteps were still far away. A minute passed. Cynthia could already see the figure.

"It's the butler. The butler was one of Whitney's people. Recently, he had played a role in all their troubles, always helping to stir things up. If he found out, everything they'd worked for would be lost. Cynthia held onto a little hope. She thought, 'Maybe the butler isn't going to the study. About thirty meters from the study. a nanny happened to come up the stairs and crossed paths with the butler. "Mr. Corson, where are you going?" said the nanny.

Shayne replied, I'm going to the study to get an antique record. Ms. Bennett wants it,"

"Let me get it for you," said the nanny.

Shayne replied, "No need, I'll get it myself."

Cynthia's heart skipped a beat. What a stroke of luck, the butler really was coming to the study. Cynthia reminded Jonathan again. "Only thirty meters to go."

Cynthia had already closed the door. From the outside, there were no signs that anyone had been there. Cynthia looked around and found that there was nowhere to hide in the study.

Underneath the desk was empty. Three walls were lined with bookshelves stretching to the ceiling. Besides that, there was just an antique sofa meant for reading and relaxing. As soon as the old butler came in, there would be nowhere for them to hide. And it was already too late. The door was closed. They couldn't get out

Meanwhile, Jonathan finally hacked into the network and sent an email to Claude. Then he erased all traces of himself from the computer and then shut it down.

Jonathan stood up and said, "Let's go."

Cynthia was really anxious. The butler must be almost here, how are we going to get out?"

Jonathan looked at the only wall without a bookshelf. It was covered with thick curtains. Behind them was a window in a classic style. The window was quite easy to open. Jonathan quickly climbed onto the window and jumped straight down. Cynthia was really surprised and hurried over to the

window.

This was a three-story drop, and castle floors weren't like regular houses; it was almost like falling six stories. She wondered, "How did Jonathan manage to jump down?'

By the time she leaned out to look, Jonathan had already landed He was as agile as a black panther and wasn't hurt at all. Cynthia was stunned.

Her first reaction was feeling like she'd been tricked. With skills ke Jonathan's, he must be a top-notch expert, not losing to any special forces. Yet all these years, he'd acted so delicate around her, like a Pretty Boy who couldn't even lift a sack Cynthia's brow furrowed and thought. He hid his true self so well. What else could he be keeping from me?"

In the next second, Jonathan spread his arms towards Cynthia. Jump down, I'll catch you."

Cynthia heard the butler unlocking the door. She had no choice but to climb out the window quickly. She pulled up the curtain from the window ledge and closed the window again. Cynthia looked down. She was pretty agile, but she practiced boxing. She had never jumped from such a height before. She wondered. Isn't this just like jumping off a building?"

But Jonathan opened his mouth and said silently. "Trust me!"

She didn't know why, but when she saw Jonathan, all her fear disappeared. Cynthia didn't hesitate and jumped down

At that moment, she didn't feel any danger. It was as if she had turned into a light butterfly. But as she got near the ground, fear crept back into her heart.

Cynthia wasn't afraid of falling to her death. What worried her was seeing Jonathan standing there, arms wide open, his gaze steady and gentle. She was afraid he might get hurt trying to catch her.

But what Cynthia was worried about didn't happen. Cynthia fell safely into Jonathan's arms. At the last moment, Jonathan had almost instantly wrapped his arms around her waist.

Because of the momentum, Jonathan spun her around a few times in the air, his arms around her waist Cynthia's feet never touched the ground. It felt like they were waltzing.

They finally came to a stop. Cynthia's cheek was pressed against Jonathan's chest. She could clearly hear Jonathan's heartbeat. It was steady and strong, comforting, but it was beating much faster than usual.

Cynthia knew that he was nervous too. Jonathan held her tightly as if trying to embed her into his own body. In that moment, it felt like time had returned to the past. Cynthia thought, 'If only everything could just pause there. Cynthia snapped back to reality. "It's easy to get noticed here, we should leave quickly

Jonathan let go of Cynthia. But the very next moment, he held her face and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. He quickly released her and said, "Let's go."

Cynthia didn't think too much about the kiss. Both of them were just relieved to be alive. In the end, she let Jonathan hold her hand as they walked out of the garden.

Soon, they arrived at a busier area. Preston had already returned leaning against a coconut tree and catching his breath Normally sweet and mild-tempered, Preston was now muttering curses under his breath. No one knew exactly what he was cursing about. Ethan was in a good mood as he strolled on the beach. When he saw Preston, he walked over with a grin. The drone was flitting about in the sky above them.

Jonathan turned to Cynthia and said, "From now on, stick close to Preston."

Cynthia nodded, "And make sure you stay within my sight too."

Hearing this, Jonathan smiled, "Silly, don't worry about me." The two of them walked off in that direction,

Preston looked furious as he returned, panting. He had run back covering the six miles in less than thirty minutes. Why did he almost break a world record? Well, as he was walking, a brown bear suddenly appeared from the forest and chased him all the way.

Ethan watched as everyone converged from different directions Where have you all been? I've been looking for you for ages.

Preston wheezed, gasping for breath "Why were you lookingJonathan put the gun back into the

A flicker of guilt and sorrow passed through Jonathan's eyes. Tm sorry for dragging you into this deadly game. It's my selfishness and greed that caused you harm."

Cynthia shook her head. "It's not your fault; you're innocent tou

was raised in.

For the first time, Cynthia saw Whitney's cruelty and madness. She finally understood the kind of environment Jonathan

Cynthia asked again, "Can we leave here?"

Jonathan's face was serious. "We can't right now. Ever since Whithey arrived on the island, all signals have been blocked. Even though the live room can still show images, it's using a special satellite signal from the island"

Jonathan continued, "I've contacted Mr. Lowe about it. The live room's feed is delayed by ten minutes compared to real time. This means it's basically pre-recorded. She can cut and change the footage as she wants, and Mr. Lowe is also trapped on the island. Whitney's people have taken over the live room."

Cynthia quickly picked up on the main point. "Are you saying we've been completely cut off from the outside world, like birds trapped in a cage on this island?"

Suddenly, Cynthia thought of the theater's architecture-it looked like a giant birdcage. Everyone on this island, whether it was the handsome but silenced bartenders or the actors who could only perform once in their lifetime in this theater, or them-they were all Whitney's playthings locked in a cage, unable to break free.

Jonathan added, "Don't worry too much. Claude and I have a secret signal. If he can't get in touch with me, it means I'm in trouble over here, and he'll definitely think of something."

Jonathan stared at Cynthia. "If you get the chance, you must leave. Don't worry about anyone else. You go first, don't hesitate, okay?"

Cynthia looked at Jonathan, her expression gradually returning to calm. "What about you?"

Jonathan's eyes darkened slightly. "Don't worry, I'm not going to die. I'll negotiate with her, there's still a card I can play."

Jonathan wasn't sure if Whitney cared about this card. His situation was indeed quite difficult.

The most important thing for him now was to break through the information blockade on this island. Fortunately, this was his area of expertise. All he needed was a computer.

Jonathan said, "We're going back to the villa now. From today onwards, you need to stay close to Preston. It's best if you even share a room with him at night. If necessary, he's your hostage."

Having chosen to side with Jonathan, Cynthia could only follow his plan. "Okay"

Jonathan drove to the seaside castle villa. Soon, the two of them were inside the castle.

Jonathan said, "If we can get a computer, our chances of making it out improve a lot."

ta

Cynthia quickly said, "There's a study on the third floor. I've been there, and there's a computer inside."

Jonathan added, "I've been there too, but today the door was locked."

When they had been there before, there were always keys on the doors. But Jonathan checked at noon, and the butler had already taken them.

Jonathan was thinking about finding the butler, but worried it might tip off the enemy.

Cynthia said, "That's simple."

The two had already reached the third-floor study's door. This door wasn't secured by any high-tech passwords or electronic locks, but rather an old-fashioned keyhole.

The lock and key were handcrafted by artisans, reminiscent of those from European medieval castles, with the keys being a

Cynthia pulled a slender silver needle from her hairpin and poked it into the keyhole. With a few twists, the door swung

open.

Jonathan was stunned. "This is one of the most complex royal locks in the world. How did you do that?"

Cynthia looked innocent. "I don't know, I just fiddled with it a bit and it opened."

Jonathan didn't know what to say.

Π

They quickly entered the study. Sure enough, there was a computer on the desk. Jonathan turned it on and found there was satellite internet connected to the island.

Cynthia couldn't follow what happened next. She only saw countless windows popping up on the screen. Jonathan's fingers danced swiftly over the keyboard, lines of code flowing like water from his fingertips. Unable to help. Cynthia moved closer to the door, checking the situation outside. Soon, she heard footsteps approaching

Ethan replied. "Jessie and Nina went to the wildlife park. I was wondering if you'd all like to come along

Jonathan's brow furrowed, "Where did you say they went?"

Ethan said, "Isn't there a large wildlife park here? Just now, Nina was really upset and kept crying, so Jessie wanted to take her mind off it by taking her to the park. She asked me to wait here for you Let's go too; I heard it's quite fun there." Preston was traumatized from being chased by a brown bear. "Its not going. Just seeing wild animals makes my legs freeze up now."

Cynthia looked at Jonathan's serious expression. She knew what he was concerned about. He feared it might be another one of Whitney's schemes.

Jonathan turned and started to leave. Cynthia hurried after him. I'm coming with you."

Naturally, Ethan followed too. Seeing Cynthia go after them, Preston finally gave in and caught up as well.

The thing Jonathan and Cynthia were worried about actually happened. Just as they reached the entrance of the wildlife park, they saw Jessie running out looking distraught. "S-something happened..."
