Chapter 736
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
No one else noticed that there was a rhodium ring around the eagleâs leg.
That ring was Charlotte and Zacharyâs wedding ring.
Perhaps no one else noticed that when the eagle swooped towards Robbie, a whistle could be heard.
Right after, the eagle stopped and hovered in front of him.
He was posed at just the right angle to notice the ring.
At that moment, Robbie had felt a mixture of terror and astonishment.
After the incident, everyone was busy trying to handle the aftermath. Yet Robbie was consumed with thoughts about the ring.
He was not stricken by fear nor traumatized. He was just thinking about how his motherâs ring ended up on the eagle.
Whatâs going on?
That eagle belongs to the owner of Northridge. If I find out who he is, Iâll be able to follow the trail to Mommy.
Thus, Robbie released a mechanical dove and sent it to spy on the owner of Northridge.
At that moment, the mechanical dove flew higher and further.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Rainaâs gentle voice drifted in, âAre you there, Robbie?â
Robbie knew it would take some time for the dove to reach its destination. Thus, he went to open the door. âWhatâs up, Dr. Langhan?â
âCan we chat, Robbie?â Raina squatted and gazed at him kindly. âI know you must have been frightened just now. Youâre just trying to put on a brave frontâ¦â
âI think youâve misunderstood,â said Robbie as he interrupted Raina. His tone was level and calm. âI was a bit scared just now, but Iâm fine now. Iâm just busy with my own stuff. Iâm not trying to avoid anything, so you donât need to be worried.â
Raina smiled awkwardly. âIâm glad youâre fine.â
âThank you!â Robbie politely replied. âIs there anything else?â
âNo.â Raina hurriedly shook her head. âIâll let you get back to what you were doing.â
âThank you for taking care of Jamie and Ellie!â
Robbie bowed courteously and closed the door.
Raina felt rather vexed, but she had no choice but to return to Jamie and Ellie.
After that, Robbie walked up to the computer and continued tracking the mechanical dove. It was currently flying towards Northridge.
The camera on the mechanical dove recorded everything below it clearly and sent the footage to Robbie.
Robbie anxiously stared at the computer screen as he waited for the mechanical dove to reveal the answer he was searching for.
At this moment, someone knocked on his door again.
Robbie frowned in annoyance. âWho is it?â
âRobbie, I asked the kitchen staff to prepare some breakfast. Letâs go eat together,â said Henry gently.
Jamie and Ellieâs voices followed.
âDid they really make hot cross bunnies, Great-grandpa?â Jamie asked excitedly.
âThey did. I tasked Mrs. Rawlston to learn how to make them. Go eat them now and tell me how they taste,â replied Henry with a grin.
âYay, thatâs great,â cheered Jamie as he ran downstairs.
âWhereâs Robbie?â asked Ellie.
âIâm calling him out now.â Henry lovingly patted her head. âGo on. Weâll join you soon.â
âOkay, Iâll go look for Fifi.â
Ellie skipped downstairs.
In the room, Robbie stared unblinkingly at the screen. The pigeon had arrived at Northridge and was nearing the villa. He did not want to miss seeing the truth, but they were waiting for him outside. Thus, he had no choice but to open the door.
âRobbieâ¦â
âGreat-grandpa, Iâm not hungry yet. You guys can start without me.â
Robbie turned back to the computer. At that moment, his heart was pounding at a breakneck pace. If he was delayed any longer, he would miss his opportunity.
âRobbie, I want to talk to youâ¦â
âI donât want to talk now,â blurted Robbie.
Henry froze, and his gaze darkened.
Robbie realized how rude he was acting and immediately apologized. âIâm sorry. Iâm just⦠really busy.
Please start breakfast without me.â
