"Yes, sir," one of the servants immediately replied.
They even gave him a knowing smile.
To them, John and Nana were newlyweds and it was absolutely reasonable for them to occasionally go overboard in their bedroom activities. Therefore, Nana's fatigue did not make them suspicious.
What was more, John looked so natural and composed.
There was no loophole to be spotted.
He carried Nana upstairs.
When he previously came to the Lynd residence, he took note of where all the surveillance cameras were located.
There was only one surveillance camera installed on the second floor which was along the corridor.
As long as he avoided that surveillance camera, the Lynd family members would not notice a thing.
John first carried Nana back to her old room, then he opened the door to the balcony and climbed out without any hesitation. He hung on the outside of the balcony and leapt onto the air conditioning unit attached to the exterior of the house. He then grabbed onto the railing of another balcony and lurched inside.
This room he entered was the nearest to the room he wanted to enter, and the corridor that this room led to was in the blind spot of the surveillance camera.
After John successfully landed, he exhaled out loud before walking out of the room.
Meanwhile, the Lynds who were heading toward the Cranston residence suddenly received a call. "Nana and Lucas went back home?"
"Yes. Ms. Lynd looked very tired and she was carried back home by Mr. Lynch. He told us not to disturb them," one of the servants reported.
Nana's father held onto his phone and told Jean, "Mom, Lucas and Nana went back home."
"Why didn't they inform us beforehand?" Jean's sharp eyes were incisive.
"I'll call them and ask," Nana's father immediately said.
"No need for now. We don't need to guard against Nana. Our main concern should be Lucas. He had a thing with Cordy Sachs previously and Nana forced him to marry her. I'm worried he might seek revenge. But there isn't much of a problem as long as he remains under our watch. Let the butler watch Lucas closely, but tell him not to be too bothered if there isn't any funny business," Jean said. "Nana fought so hard for this marriage. At least on the surface, we should treat Lucas as a member of the family."
"Yes," Nana's father said respectfully before bowing his head to the phone and instructing the servant, "Keep an eye on Lucas but don't let him find out. Inform us right away if you sense anything amiss."
"Yes, sir."
