Chapter 458 Chapter 458 False Identity Luca's plan was certainly tempting.

In my current situation, Leonard had eyes oneverywhere. Even leaving the country wasn't an option. If I could break free from his grip, maybe I'd live a bit longer just from the relief alone.

Plus, everyone aroundwas suffering because of me. In the past, I would never have considered working with Luca. He was no visionary and was not suited to lead Harmon Group, Narrow-minded and petty, he was, at most, tit to be a manager.

But with my own life in shambles, I couldn't worry about others. The n more I thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

I could always deceive Luca-whether I truly "died" or not wouldn't matter to him. He just needed an opportunity. But I'd need help. I couldn't do this alone with Luca.

The trouble was that I didn't want to involve those close to me. I really did need to slip away, but this was something I couldn't share with anyone else. If they found out, things could get complicated Emma and Jill would never keep it a secret, and Julian might even end up telling Alisa. After weighing my options, I called Zack and Crystal to ask them to visit my ward The Manovia project was ongoing so it wasn't unusual forto get in touch.

But when I shared my plan, Crystal's expression turned visibly alarmed. "Eva, have you been reading too many ? Are you really thinking of faking your death? With today's medical technology, it's impossible to hide. They'll find out," she said, gripping my hand and shaking her head.

"The Harmon family is no good-you're actually putting your trust in Luca? Have you lost your mind? And if you fake your death, what How are you going to live without one? You'll be a ghost in the system." Crystal listed all the complications of living without an official identity, from frequent inspections to checkpoints.

It was no wonder she used to work in a government-related department-every sentence she said tied back to current policies.

see Zack I patted her hand with a smile. "That's why I wanted to see Z t about your ID? The Boyd family had sinfluence. With his help, obtaining a false identity might not be impossible. And I would need someone like Zack to handle certain things along the way.

If Luca went rogue, I'd need someone with enough influence to rein him in and keepout of the crossfire. Zack had stayed silent, quietly observing After nearly ten minutes of Crystal's chattering, he finally asked, "Eva, are you sure about this?"" "Yes, I've made up my mind." Living out the rest of my days in peace was all that mattered now. I couldn't keep dragging my friends into this.

Crystal went quiet as she leaned against me, her expression conflicted.

She might seem easygoing, but she was the toughest of our group. She used to be the dorm's unofficialm leader, always taking on a sense of responsibility, After a moment, she asked, "Do you think Leonard will track you down? Will he let you go?" I pursed my lips. That was my biggest worry.

Knowing Leonard, he wouldn't believe it unless he sawburn with his m own eyes. He'd probably even take a bit of my ashes back, not because he lovedbut because I was his obsession. But would he really search all over the country for me? I closed my eyes, already formulating a plan.

"Zack, what it I went to Manovia? Harmon Group doesn't have that kind of reach once m abroad, be won't be able to find me."
