Sean raised his hand and said, “Wait a moment. I'll go and have a look first.”

His instincts told him something was amiss, and he could not shake off the uneasy feeling even though he could not quite put his finger on the reason.

He always trusted his instincts, and they had always proved more accurate than the average person's.

In fact, there had been many occasions where he had managed to avoid dangerous situations because of his instincts.

Hence, as soon as he felt something was not right, he would make sure to be more careful.

Narrowing his eyes, Sean began heading toward the villa.

When he got to the entrance, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he halted his footsteps and eyed the door warily, his uneasiness intensifying.

This doesn't feel right. Something feels seriously wrong. It feels like there's not a single soul at the villa. Usually, Marina will come out to greet me when I arrive. I've disembarked from the helicopter for quite some time, yet I don't see any sign of her. That's clearly not normal. There's no way Marina wouldn't have heard the sound of the helicopter. Well, not unless she wasn't here. But if she isn't at the villa, then where is she?

Meanwhile, hidden high up on a coconut tree not far away was a tiny camera pointed directly at Sean.

Shane was the one who had ordered the installation of that camera, and many others, around the villa. The sole reason for that was to monitor Sean's every movement as soon as he returned.

Seeing that Sean stood at the villa's entrance for a long time without going in, Silas frowned and mused, “Mr. Thompson, do you think he realized something?”

Shane stared fixedly at the laptop in front of him with his lips pressed together tightly and did not say anything.
