"We''re not sure," Andrew confessed, his voiceced with hesitation, "Ss is investigating the matter."


    Micah, without missing a beat,manded, "Contact Ss at once." His tone was urgent, his words precise. "Inform him that I''ve dispatched Rn to monitor the situation, and he is not to interfere." Andrew acknowledged the order with a curt nod, promptly dialing Ss''s number.


    Upon receiving Andrew''s message, Ss discreetly covered the receiver, turning to Mr. Clemens Senior. "Micah has sent Rn to manage the situation," he ryed. "He doesn''t want us to interfere in this." Mr. Clemens Senior''s brow furrowed in contemtion, but he ultimately nodded in agreement. "Very well, let him handle this minor issue independently."


    Ss ryed Mr. Clemens Sr.''s message back to Andrew, who in turn passed it on to Micah.


    A sigh of relief escaped Micah''s lips. "Get Rn tomence the investigation," he ordered.


    "Understood," Andrew replied, before rying the instructions to Rn.


    Micah, lost in thought, twirled the wedding ring on his left finger, his eyes brimming with anticipation. Perhaps Sadie wanted to return, to reunite with him and their children...


    Meanwhile, Noah was secluded in his study, engrossed in a book.


    A servant entered, bearing news. "Mr. Noah, your tutor is en route, but due to the distance, his arrival may be dyed by an hour and a half."


    "Understood," Noah responded, his tone nonchnt.


    Having finished his book on international economics, Noah rubbed his temples, seeking relief from the strain of reading. He moved to the window, his gaze settling on the distant, dense forest, a wee respite for his weary eyes. However, his attention was soon drawn to a shiny object in the distance...


    Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a car.


    The Clemens family''s fleet consisted solely of ck vehicles, and even their private doctors and tutors were transported in simr vehicles. The sudden appearance of a silver car was indeed peculiar. Had they received a guest?


    Curiosity piqued, Noah reached for his telescope, focusing on the distant silver object.


    It was an elongated silver Rolls-Royce, identical in model to the Clemens family''s fleet. The vehicle made its way into the northern area, disappearing into the thick forest.


    Based on its trajectory, Noah deduced that the car had reached the vi in the north.


    Andrew had previously informed Noah of the two vis on Autumn Mountain - their residence in the south and the unupied vi in the north. Thetter, it seemed, had new upants. Judging by the car, these new neighbors were likely affluent.


    Setting down his telescope, Noah decided against further observation. His room''s angle only allowed a partial view of the circr road. To see the northern vi, he would need to ascend to the attic. However, prying into others'' affairs was not his style.


    Nor did it interest him.


    With his tutor yet to arrive and having finished his book, Noah sought to alleviate his boredom by tinkering with his mechanical pigeon.


    This was histest project - a toy pigeon he had purchased from a market, disassembled, and fitted with an electronic controller. He released the pigeon through the window...


    Noah was eager to test the pigeon''s range and its ability to capture a panoramic view of the mountain.


    If sessful, it would function much like a drone, albeit with a few additional features.


    Heunched the monitoring software on his tablet, capturing the pigeon''s perspective.


    First, it captured the Clemens family''s front yard, then ascended, providing an aerial view of the entire estate. As it climbed higher, the estate shrank, the surrounding forest dominating the frame, until finally, it revealed a panoramic view of Autumn Mountain...


    A smirk of satisfaction spread across Noah''s face. It was a sess!


    He guided the pigeon using hisputer, testing its ability to capture a fixed-point shot. He directed it towards the northern vi, not with the intention to spy, but to test the sensitivity of his control.


    As the pigeon approached the northern vi, it captured the silver Rolls-Royce from above. Several bodyguards, d in ck, emerged from the car, carrying luggage into the house...


    A figure, seemingly attractive, was seen walking toward the house. Sensing something, the figure turned around and nced back...
