He looked at the screen darken and then Julian stood up to stretch his limbs.
Chambers family sent a girl to the old residence who looked almost identical to girl? Did it mean that the Chambers family knew that she was at B City?
The features of a girl changed significantly when she grew up. The first time he saw her, he didn’t recognize her. It was Khalid who said that she looked like who he was looking for and was confirmed through DNA testing.
What was the Chambers family trying to achieve? He was deep in thoughts when the phone beeped on receiving a message. It was the picture sent by Khalid.
They looked rather similar… no, they were identical. Even the birthmark on the collarbone was the same. His eyes squinted as he enlarged the birthmark and then he started to laugh coldly.
Did the Chambers family think that they could produce a fake and he would gladly accept her? Even if he didn’t find the real Sadie, he wouldn’t think that that girl was Sadie. Facial features were just a portion but not everything to identify her.
They lived together when she was five years old and slept under the same blanket. At eleven, she gave him her first kiss and told him that she wanted to be his bride. Her fragrance and smile left a deep impression on him and were something that cannot be replicated with surgery.
Julian deleted the photo and scoffed. He called Khalid again and said, “Inform my grandfather that I’ve seen the photo and that girl is the one I’m looking for.”
“I understand. I’ll contact the old residence.” Khalid said and then with a deep tone, “Should I arrange for some gifts to be sent over?”
“Khalid, the show is not acted that way.” Julian rubbed his temples and instructed carefully, “Just say that I know about it and confirmed that it’s her. When the Chambers family didn’t receive anything, they will naturally get anxious.”
“Okay. I understand.” Khalid exhaled and continued, “I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on the developments at the Chambers family.”
“Okay.” Julian acknowledged and ended the call while he grinned.
Trying to fool him? They had lost over ten years ago and hadn’t given up?
Sadie was still in the bathroom when he went back to the bedroom. Julian removed his jacket and threw it onto the chair. He glanced at the bathroom door and then walked briskly to the next room. He opened the door to the bathroom and removed his clothes and then casually filled the bathtub with water. He then watched the security camera videos.
The cameras were installed a day before she moved in and from the looks of it, the quality was rather good. girl must have been terribly scared of him. She crouched in the bathtub and must be wrinkled from the prolonged soaking and yet didn’t dare to get out of the water.
He laid down comfortably into the bathtub and squinted as he looked at the video but he couldn’t see her body. Thus, he mischievously turned on the audio and said as he laughed, “I’ll go in if you don’t come out soon.”
“Wah!” She yelled and Sadie stood up in the bathtub. She desperately tried to cover her body and her face was red from the warm water vapors. She yelled furiously, “You pervert! You even installed cameras in the bathroom!”
“What cameras, hmm?” Julian laughed as he raised his eyebrows and waved in the air and said, “This is just an intercom, specially installed for my little friend.”
Sadie was now raging when she heard it and she grabbed a towel to cover herself, “You’re sick!”
“Sadie, are you belittling my intelligence?” Julian licked the corner of his lips, “Or do you think that I’m easy to fool?”
