Chapter 981: The Fatal Weakness Jared found a man's hat and sunglasses among a pile of clothes.

For an ordinary person, these might just be accessories. But in the hands of a man capable of disguising himself so expertly that no one could detect him, they were overkill, a touch too much.

He pointed them out to Tina.

Tina froze for a moment but quickly understood what her Uncle meant. A cold smile crept across her face. "She thought these things were useless to us, but she didn't realize they'd reveal her fatal weakness."

The hat, the sunglasses, and this basement-it all confirmed one thing.

A severely injured Claudia was afraid of light.

Thus, whether it was the places she chose to hide or the timing of her attacks on women living alone, it all had to be under the cover of darkness.

Tina stood up and headed for the door. "Looks like it's time to have another chat with the old man."

On the way, she took out her phone and called Master Tam. The moment the call connected, it was declined.

She raised an eyebrow and tried again.

Declined again.

Tina smirked, stopped calling, and decisively sent a text: "I'm on my way to the Brooks family. I'll be there in twenty minutes."

Two seconds later, her phone rang.

Master Tam's voice came through, unmistakably arrogant. "Who said I was at the Brooks family? I'm not your Brooks family's nanny. Now that the kids are better, can't I return to my own place?" "Little brat, even if you want to see me, you won't catch me."

Tina chuckled, her tone casual and indifferent. "Oh? I recently got my hands on a wild snow lotus and thought I'd let you take a look. But if you're not here, forget it."

Master Tam snorted. "You think I'd fall for that? I don't believe you."

Tina remained calm. "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. The snow lotus is useless to me anyway. I was just passing by the Brooks family, so I'll give it to Grandpa to brew tea."

"You..."

Master Tam was clearly furious now. "You're wasting a treasure! Giving such a precious thing to that old man for tea? Are you trying to drive me to my grave?"
