Chapter 577
As Zach gently wiped away Mila's tears, he comforted her with tender words, "Chubs, don't worry. They are safe, just held captive."
"Do you know where they are?" Mila inquired, her voice filled with concern.
Zach shook his head and let out a weary sigh. "I'm not sure. The place is surrounded by high walls and tight security. There's no way out."
"What about Oliver? Has he tried to find you?" Mila pressed.
"He's been silent as if he's not involved at all," Zach replied. Pausing, he added, "But our every move in that house is under constant surveillance."

Puzzled, Zach asked, "What do you mean?"
Nathan clarified, "Oliver is dead."
Zach's eyes widened in disbelief. "Oliver is dead?"
Nathan settled beside Zach and explained, "Qiver is now a wanted criminal in Norvania, so he faked his death. The world no longer knows Oliver With a new face from plastic surgery, he's living a completely different life."
Worry etched across Zach's face, his hands tightening into fists. "Isn't that even more dangerous?"

Zach looked between Mila and Nathan in confusion. "Can someone explain what's going on?"
Nathan elaborated confidently, "Grandpa, I've employed the most advanced satellite tracking to keep a constant eye on Avery. Every signal she sends out is monitored. "I've also positioned several informants around her, from her assistant to the household staff, most of whom are loyal to me.
