Chapter 643 Look at Me and Promise Me

Sheldon threw the small device to the ground and crushed it underfoot.

"Noah, come sit. Stop searching. There's nothing here. You really think I'd be foolish enough to hide Cassie inside Holden Residence?"

The more Sheldon spoke, the darker Noah's expression became. He had indeed suspected that, or he wouldn't have come to this villa in the first place.

"Come sit. Noah. I'm actually very pleased. You truly are the one I raised. You haven't let me down," Sheldon said with a faint smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Phelps. I don't blame you for my doubts," Noah said, lowering his head.

"You should doubt me. You did well. You were observant, bold, and careful. With my successor, I can rest easy," Sheldon replied, patting his shoulder.

"Mr. Phelps, I—"

"Noah, my strange behavior lately was all deliberate," Sheldon cut him off. "I wanted to test you, to see whether your abilities would meet my expectations. And you've proven that they are.

"But you're still missing one thing. Since you've already started investigating this villa, then go ahead and finish it. Show me what you're really capable of."

He chuckled lightly. "Go ahead and search. No need to hold back."

He nodded. "Then I'll keep looking."

"Good. Go on."

Noah no longer cared whether Sheldon stayed to watch. He removed the night vision goggles and began searching openly and methodically.

He checked every room, even tapping the floors. He inspected each space in turn, missing nothing.
