The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 605 Let Noah Be His Successor

Not long after Natalie and Marcus left the villa, Sheldon came out of the kitchen, carrying a small basket with some food inside.

He then exited through another door, heading toward the small villa at the back.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Noah quietly followed him. Just as Noah was hiding in the shadows, however, Sheldon suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"Noah, why are you following me?" Sheldon asked. "You've been sneaking around me these past few days. What are you up to?"

Noah screamed, breaking out into a cold sweat. When had Sheldon noticed him?

Sheldon casually held up the basket. "What are you so nervous about? I'm keeping a little pet in the back villa. Would you like to come see it?"

"P-Pet?" Noah stuttered.

His tracking skills were the best among all the bodyguards in the Holden family, yet Sheldon had spotted him long ago and had never confronted him.

"Noah, come with me," Sheldon said with a smile, patting Noah on the shoulder.

He then led Noah toward the hidden small villa.

Noah had no choice but to follow. Before long, Sheldon opened the door to the back villa and ushered Noah inside. They both went up the stairs.

"My pet's a little mischievous, so I keep it upstairs, worried it might run off," Sheldon explained as he led Noah to the second floor.

At the end of the hallway, Sheldon opened the door to a room.
