Since he was in a lot of the footage, John stayed back and waited for the police in case they needed his testimony. Zack wanted to stay as well, but since it was getting late, John asked him to go back. “You do your stuff.” John patted his back. “There’s a lot of work to do. I can handle this on my own.”
Zack thought about it, then he left with his subordinate. On the other hand, John went around the house to have a look. He thought it must have been uninhabited, judging by its stark interiors.
The property manager knew who John was, and he followed him on his tour. “The owner isn’t a local, so he never stayed in this house. According to him, he wasn’t going to rent it out in case it was damaged, but the tenant said this house was only used as a warehouse. Since the tenant promised to keep the place intact and paid a high sum of rent, the owner agreed to rent it out. Understandably, he’s distraught about this case happening here.”
John smiled. “It’s fine. It’s probably just a peeping tom, so don’t worry too much about it.”
The property manager sighed. He was also upset about this happening in this area, for getting the police involved was embarrassing for him. Their company collected a ridiculous amount of maintenance fee here, but they failed to keep this place safe. All the homeowners kept lodging complaints after finding out about the case. They were all wealthy people, so the property manager didn’t want to cross them.
John went around and noticed some cigarette butts on a room’s windowsill. They must have been there for a while, for they were dried up. John smiled. “Now this is unexpected. Maybe they can help us.”
At the same time, Matilda woke Sophia up and told her about John’s findings. “It’s deserted though. Only some equipment is found.” That was good enough for Sophia. She went out to the yard with Matilda, and Matilda pointed in a direction. “There. The camera in that room was facing us.”
Sophia pursed her lips. That place was exactly the one she told John, and she heaved a sigh of relief. “At least they found it.”

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
