Chapter 153 The Important Chess Piece
The light inside the cabinet was dim, and Peyton was trembling with fear. If she had known it would be so scary, she would never
have come, even if someone had forced her.
Peyton was trembling heavily when suddenly a low laughter came from the pitch–black cabinet.
Peyton felt that the laughter was somewhat familiar.
The person opened a prop lamp, and the eerie green light spilled onto his pale face. Just as Peyton was about to scream, she
heard a familiar
voice. “It’s me.”
Peyton was taken aback. She swallowed nervously and cautiously called out his name, “Phillip?”
“Hmm.” Phillip was not one to smile or speak much. But at this moment, his voice carried a hint of amusement.
“I’m sorry for meeting you in this way. I didn’t know you were so timid.”
In fact, Phillip didn’t intend to scare Peyton. He dressed up like that just to avoid the bodyguards.
Little did he know that as soon as they met, Peyton grabbed him and ran without saying a word.
Peyton touched her chest. “I was almost scared to death just now.”
When Phillip and Peyton first met, even though he held a knife to her neck, she wasn’t scared like this.

Now she looked much livelier.
“Alright, to get back on track. I have some information on the person you asked me to investigate,” Phillip stopped teasing
Peyton and quickly told him what he had found.
“What did you find out?”
“Dwayne didn’t just come back from abroad. He has occasionally traveled abroad for work in recent years.”

Sure enough, Dwayne was not an ordinary person. The mastermind behind the scenes had planted some spies around Nolan
and Peyton.
Initially, when Peyton was at her wit’s end, that person made Dwayne approach Peyton. The information that the so-called
detective Jackson found out was only what that person wanted her to know.
Peyton began to doubt the authenticity of the report in Nolan’s hands. Kason lay in bed, never waking up, and the truth remained
unknown.
That person knew the importance of Kason to Peyton. Since Kason was the most important chess piece, he would put Kason in
the most important position.
“Could you find out who was behind Dwayne?”
Phillip frowned, his face covered in white dye. As Peyton looked closer, she noticed the sharp contours of his face and his
extremely aggressive appearance.
If the dye was removed, he must have been a handsome man.
“The time was too short and I didn’t find anything at the moment. However, within ten days to two weeks at most, I will give you
an
answer.”
Actually, Phillip didn’t need that much time. He deliberately delayed a bit just in case.
“Besides investigating Dr. Yoder and Dwayne, Phillip, I also need you to help me with something.”
Phillip didn’t hesitate at all. “You tell me.”
“Find a good nursing home for my father. The place he is staying now is no longer safe, and he could be abandoned by the
people behind the scenes at any time. I want to secretly send him away without anyone knowing, but there may be spies around
me and Nolan. I can only trust you.”

Peyton felt that she and Phillip were not related and it wasn’t good to always trouble him.

She added, “Now, I only had 80 million dollars in savings. If I died, I couldn’t take this money with me. I will leave it to you as a
reward for helping me.”
Phillip gave her a meaningful look, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. “Our deal was for the island. Just keep your word,” he said.
Peyton nodded. “I had to ask you for one more favor.”
“Hmm?”
“Take me away from this. I want to go check on Caitlyn. That girl had a lot of secrets.”
