Chapter 7

"Of course I'm worried!" Even though Dylan was fearful of Noah's piercing gaze, he was determined to report the truth. "Did you know what Colt was up to? He snuck to the room by himself and sat on the window ledge to look at the view. When I asked why he was holding an umbrella, he said Angie told him if he jumped down with it, he could fly! Who knows what would have happened if I hadn't found him!"

Noah's expression hardened and his eyes blazed with anger. "Angie is Colt's aunt. She has always been kind to him. Instruct the servants to hide all of the umbrellas in the house." The man paused when he realized that he was speaking up for Angie.

Disappointed at Noah's support for Angie, Dylan protested, "You should be wary of that woman. If she has ill intentions, she'll…" He came to a halt when he noticed Noah's piercing stare. He then sighed and continued, "All right, you can forget about everything I said."

Dylan stormed out of the room without waiting for a response. On his way out, he bumped into Wayne, who was standing at the door.

"We have an emergency, Sir!" Wayne reported in a deep husky voice.

As soon as Noah heard the man's words, his mood took a turn for the worse. He replied in annoyance, "Speak."

"Someone damaged the alarm system, resulting in a security lapse for about ten minutes. We have sent our men to search the entire villa, but we didn't find any suspicious activity," Wayne declared.
