Chapter 181 A Secret Room
Arriving at the Winters Estate, Amanda was taken aback by its sheer size. She realized that searching for Aiden within such a vast property would require time and effort. She could not help but ask, "What do you guys do with such an enormous estate? It's gonna be challenging to locate someone within its vast grounds. You're not suggesting we search every nook and cranny, are you?"
Elias sensed the resentment in her voice but chose to remain silent, quietly enduring it.
Boris approached them. "Mr. Elias, how may I assist you?"
Since Elias had the advantage in his territory, he issued a direct command. "Search every corner of the entire estate, both inside and out. We must find a person."
Boris looked puzzled. "Whom are you looking for?"
Finding someone in such a vast estate was no easy task, and even he had not explored every corner.
"Aiden. Make sure to check the surveillance footage as well."
Though filled with doubt, Boris nodded. "Understood, I'll get on it right away. By the way, should I also check the Tranquil Residence where Mrs. Winters resides?"
"Do that!"
"Understood."
Later, Elias and Amanda headed toward the surveillance room to review the footage thoroughly.
She asked, "Could Aiden be with your mother? But she doesn't seem particularly fond of him…"
If Aiden were hidden there, would he be mistreated?
He explained slowly, "If Aiden is truly there, my mother won't mistreat him. Despite her dislike for him, he's still a descendant of the Winters Family."
Hearing his words, she felt relieved. Now that I think about it, it does make sense. After all, Aiden is the bloodline of the Winterses. Mrs. Winters wouldn't dare to mistreat her grandson, right?
Meanwhile, Boris had taken action. Amanda and Elias arrived at the surveillance room to meticulously examine every piece of footage, not letting any clue go unnoticed.
After over an hour, she pointed at the monitor displaying the garden and exclaimed, "Look! That person looks suspicious. It's the middle of summer, yet he's wearing a coat. Maybe he's hiding a child underneath it!"
She had a nagging feeling that she had a wild imagination, but her intuition insisted that there was something peculiar about the man in the coat.
Yacob pressed the pause button and zoomed in on the screen. Indeed, a suspicious man was captured on the screen, tightly wrapping himself with a thick coat despite the scorching weather.
Elias furrowed his brow slightly. "Who is that man?"
Yacob carefully examined the footage and shook his head. "He doesn't seem to be one of our men. He might belong to Old Mr. Winters…"
Elias' expression changed abruptly. "Find out where he went!"
Yacob continued to retrieve the surveillance videos along the garden path to determine the destination of the man in the coat.
Amanda's heart pounded with excitement as they were on the verge of uncovering the whereabouts of Aiden's hiding place. Ever since the previous kidnapping incident, she had been haunted by the memories. Although she knew Aiden was safe now, she could not help but feel anxious.
After searching for a while, Yacob finally made a breakthrough and reported, "I found it! The person in the coat entered a secret room. After half an hour, he emerged with the coat unbuttoned. If I'm not mistaken, something was hidden inside the coat."
"A secret room?" Elias furrowed his brow. How am I not aware of the secret room in the estate?
