He wanted to ask why he had been abandoned so easily after everything he had done.
Yet, he remained silent. Nate was still his final bargaining chip.
If he revealed everything now, there was no guarantee Aurora and Spencer would continue protecting him.

"Here's the deal. We'll give you exactly one day. Tell us who the real mastermind is, and we'll extend your life by one month."
Her smile slowly disappeared.
"But if you remain silent after one day, we'll kill you ourselves and continue the investigation without you."
She shrugged casually. "It took us only one year to find you."
A faint smile once again curved across her lips.
"Finding your mastermind may take another ten years, but eventually, we'll reach him too."
