Lewis understood exactly what Keira was getting at, but the atmosphere just moments ago had been so intimate he couldn’t resist teasing her a little.

Getting up, he threw on a robe, grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, and jotted down the coordinates he’d calculated. Keira immediately took the paper and started working through the calculations herself.

This was her strength, after all, and it didn’t take long for her to pinpoint the South family’s location.

Once she had the coordinates, Keira quickly pulled up a satellite map to cross-check. But all she saw on the map was open ocean.

That didn’t make sense.

"It must be the South family’s signal jammer," she deduced aloud. "It blocks any external scans, which is why their island isn’t showing up. But I’m sure it exists!"

Keira had spent five days on that island, closely observing the sun each day.

The sun couldn’t lie.

The air was fresh, unmistakably coastal.

She was confident that the South family’s landmass was on the surface and not some artificial submarine beneath a lake.

Staring at the map, Keira circled the South family’s location. "Right here," she declared.

Lewis nodded. Spotting how lightly dressed she was, he opened his robe and pulled her into his arms.

Keira leaned against him, still focused. "Getting there won’t be easy. We’ll need to set off from Country A..."

Country A bordered the ocean, so it made the most sense.

"You can’t fly there," Lewis added.

Planes in the sky would easily be detected by radar.

Given how advanced the South family was—probably far beyond any nation in the world—Keira knew they couldn’t underestimate any possibility. The South family’s decision to scatter their heirs across the globe only underscored their strength.

Keira nodded in agreement. "We’ll need a boat to get us close, and from there, we’ll have to switch to a smaller vessel to reach the shore. That way, we can pose as drifters."

If they approached the South family’s island on a flashy yacht, they’d never be allowed to set foot on land. Besides, it would draw far too much attention. Keira needed to stay under the radar, and a yacht would ruin her chances.

Lewis nodded again. "The yacht isn’t the problem. The bigger issue is how to make it convincing that we drifted there by accident. Even a small boat arriving out of nowhere would raise suspicions."

Keira tapped her chin thoughtfully, then glanced at him. "What if we say we’re a couple who eloped against our families’ wishes, got tossed overboard, and ended up drifting to the South family’s island on a piece of wood?"

Lewis shook his head. "Too coincidental. They wouldn’t buy it. We need something more believable."

Keira frowned, clearly stumped.

Seeing her frustration, Lewis chuckled. "You’re not great at making things up. Let me handle this. When do you want to go?"

She thought for a moment. "If we head back too soon after leaving, it’ll look suspicious. I was thinking of waiting a couple of weeks, maybe a month. In the meantime, if I can track down that Eagle from Country M, that would be ideal."

Lewis raised an eyebrow. "Should we head to Country M for a business trip? I’ve got some contacts there."

Keira sat up, eyeing him suspiciously. "Why do you seem to have business everywhere? What exactly do you do?"

"Bits of everything," Lewis replied casually.

"Yeah, right. You mean billions of everything," she quipped.

Lewis took her hand in his. "If you’re curious, I can show you everything I own. It might not compare to the South family’s empire, but it’s enough to hold its own."

Keira waved him off. "Not interested."

Having grown up struggling financially, there had been a time when Keira craved money. But once she started making her own, it became just a number. She preferred focusing on what genuinely interested her, leaving the mundane management of her company to Samuel.

Lewis sighed, clearly expecting her response. "I knew you wouldn’t care. So don’t worry about how we’re getting to the South family. I’ll take care of everything. I’ll make sure we have new identities ready."

Trusting him, Keira nodded.

Just as they were about to continue the conversation, there was a knock at the door.

Erin’s voice called out from the other side. "Hey, are you two done? Can I come in?"

Keira and Lewis exchanged a look, both utterly confused.

Seriously? Wasn’t barging into someone’s room at a time like this a bit... rude?

But Erin persisted from the hallway. "I’ve got something to tell you. It’s important!"
