Lupine and Morgan quickly removed their earpieces and covered their ears. For a moment there, they couldn’t hear anything as their ears were filled with a buzzing sound.
Charlotte covered her ears and frowned at the computer. This irritating kid is good.
Meanwhile, Robbie grinned. I knew it. There are hidden cameras everywhere, and someone is monitoring me in the dark…
At that thought, Robbie stepped forward and waved at the camera outside the villa.
“He found us!” said Lupine in astonishment as her eyes bulged. “That kid is good!”
“How old is that punk? How is he so good at this?” blurted Morgan in a surprised tone. “What does he want?”
“Shut up,” scolded Charlotte.
The two of them stopped talking and put on their earpieces once again.
“I’m sorry for bothering you,” said Robbie calmly as he looked into the camera. “I am not a thief or a villain. I just want to ask you some questions.”
After saying his piece, he got a black gold ring out of his backpack and showed it to the camera before asking, “I found this ring on your pet eagle. May I know how you got your hands on it?”
Charlotte narrowed her eyes in front of the computer and scrutinized the ring…
She was wearing that ring all those years ago when she woke up after her accident. She didn’t know why, but an inexplicable sense of hatred rose in her every time she saw that ring. Yet, she couldn’t throw it away because it linked her to her past and her lost memories.
Hence, she tied the ring onto Fifi the eagle’s leg.
But how did that ring end up with the kid?
“Why is Fifi’s ring with that kid?” said Lupine curiously as she stared at Robbie.
“I think he’s saying something,” murmured Morgan, turning the volume up.
Robbie looked at the camera and shared a series of numbers before saying, “That’s my phone number. I know you can see me, and I’m sure you can hear me too. Please get in touch with me.”
“Did you take the number down?” asked Charlotte.
“No…” said the girls. Neither Lupine nor Morgan took the kid seriously.
