Chapter 138

Chapter 138

It was an especially noisy night.

The incessant banging sounds from the construction kept the nearby dogs awake, and they ended up dragging their doghouses away in the middle of the night.

Tinley sat at the desk, watching the surveillance video from the USB drive over and over again

Behind her, on the clean, soft bed, a small figure was nestled comfortably, fast asleep.

Meanwhile, in another empty room of the house, Leonard was scratching his head in frustration, staring at a blank white sheet of paper. His hair was almost falling out from the effort.

The Holmes family insisted that he draw the man’s clothing and appearance, but he couldn’t remember what the man looked like.

He had been so nervous when he was doing the deed, and the man had shined a flashlight in his eyes, so there was no way he could have seen clearly.

Asking him to draw it now was too much to ask.

If he had that kind of ability, why would he have stolen anything three years ago?

“I don’t know how much they paid over there, but the construction workers worked through the night without rest. When I went out earlier, they were already packing up. As they left, the dogs around the area were barking like it was the New Year- it was quite a spectacle.”

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Ian couldn’t manage a smile. He felt uncomfortable.

Yvonne had only recently started getting close to him, and just yesterday, she had even kissed him. He thought this was the beginning of his happy life, but to his surprise, Kelvin showed up so quickly.

His obedient little nephew hadn’t even gotten enough time with him yet.
