Although the North Yard castle was completed, John did not move there. He wanted to hold his wedding with Nina there.
He wanted to surprise Nina, so he did not mention his plans to her. Until their wedding, they stayed at Sam's house at Stone Road, which made Sam very happy. He was glad that he could spend a lot of time with his grandsons.
Both John and Nina were busy with their work. While one of them had to recruit people at Serene Investigation Firm, the other had to solve the issue involving Vivian.
John's efforts ended up being fruitful for him as Noah called him and said,
"The deal will take place at a nightclub. I'll go there myself to make sure that everything runs smoothly. I'll be there around 8 p.m. tomorrow night."
Upon hearing that, John stopped writing and said, "Be careful, okay? Only if you succeed in your operation, I can go to the Ye family residence to rescue Howard. The Ye Group has Henry."
Noah sighed. "Vivian is my sister, after all."
"Don't feel sorry for her. She deserves it. If you really need a sister in your life, you now have one who is just four years old," said John.
Stunned, Noah asked, "Who is that? When did I get a four-year-old sister? Don't you know that Evelyn has just turned sixteen?"
John rested the nib of his pen on the paper for a moment before he signed it and said, "She is the daughter of Henry's mother's and stepfather. Her name is Cherry."
Noah spurted out the water that he was drinking, losing all his calm, and said, "Does Henry really have a sister?"
"Yes, he does. You can see for yourself when all this is over. Moreover, we might become relatives in the future as Donald keeps telling me that he wants to marry Cherry when he grows up."
Although it was a shock to him, Noah did not spurt out his mouthful of water the second time.
"Don is just four years old. Why is he talking about marriage already?"
"I like to let him be as he wants," John replied calmly.
"Is this going to mess up the relationship that we have? If Cherry is Henry's sister, then she's also my sister in a way. Don is my godson, which means that she would be his aunt."
"They are not related by blood, and they're both the same age. I think we can let them decide how they want to see each other," John said casually.
Every word that John said to him was completely reasonable and made sense to Noah.
"They're only four, and that's the reason they're being so naïve. I don't think that they will stick with their decisions once they grow older," he said finally.
"I am not going to get involved in my son's love life," John said coolly. He was reading through some documents when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Noah also heard the sound of the door, and said, "You carry on with your work, I will talk to you later."
Once he disconnected the call, John lifted his head and said, "Come in."
Richard pushed the door open, walked in, and greeted John. "Mr. Shi."
The moment John heard his voice, he stopped reading and looked up. He had asked Richard to follow Sheila, so he wanted to know if there was any new update related to her.
"How has it been going?" John asked, looking at him expectantly.
Richard reported everything to him truthfully and said, "There is nothing unusual about her life. She goes to restaurants, malls, salons, and nightclubs. She doesn't have much physical contact with men and doesn't seem to be talking to anyone suspicious."
"So she just goes out to eat, shops, gets her hair done at the salon and goes out for a few drinks," John said with a frown.
"I have checked every place that Sheila has been to and I have found nothing suspicious." Richard then thought for a moment and added, "Although I did notice something interesting."
With a bright smile, John looked at him eagerly.
"She seems to be on guard all the time ever since that accident involving Linda happened." John suddenly remembered the time and place of the deal that Noah had just mentioned to him. It seemed to have come to him too soon and way too easily.
Vivian had been refusing to make a deal. But now, after Linda's accident involving Sheila happened, Noah was able to get the deal a lot sooner. Thinking of that, John felt that it was a bit suspicious.
"Vivian is trying to trick us. Tomorrow's deal is just a cover. She wants to use the opportunity to deal with the spy. Call Noah and tell him not to go in person to make the deal," John said in a firm voice, narrowing his eyes.
"Of course, sir. Do we also need to ask people who are following Vivian's tail to lay low for a while?" Richard asked.
