Chapter 1484 Someone Lived Here
Kyle turned his head around and glanced at her.
He did not believe that the beggars hid there because he saw a few imported packaging from the garbage and could tell that one of the small boxes of supplements was costly.
Beggars wouldn’t be so particular about what they eat.
Hence, Kyle was sure that people were staying there. Moreover, their statuses wouldn’t be ordinary. It was impossible for them to be beggars or normal people.
He remained unmoved and walked inside to the living room. Scrutinizing the place, he saw floating dust particles visible under the sun rays when the sun shone in. When the wind blew, the cobwebs on the lintel and window beams swayed with the wind.
It was evident that that place had remained empty for a long time.
After that, he walked into the other room. He entered each of the rooms, one after another. After scanning the rooms, he did not find any traces of people living there.
However, that heightened his curiosity.
There are people staying in the manor, but not in the rooms. Could it be that there are other hidden spots?
After exiting the room, his sharp eyes surveyed the manor. Besides the wall in the courtyard that was broken beyond repair, he could roughly tell that there was once a storage tank. There were also dried branches and grasses but nothing else.
“If people still lived here, where would they live?
Sally’s heart was in her throat, afraid that Kyle would notice something as he continued to fix his hawk-eye on the manor. She felt that the most important thing then was to get Kyle out of there soonest. Otherwise, it would be too late if he found out anything.
She cleared her throat and said, “Since this is your place, you should be very familiar with the surroundings, isn’t it?” Sally then paused before continuing, “When our family left initially, I was only a few years old. I’m not familiar with this place and only have some blurry impression.”
“Then, based on your blurry impression, was there anything secret room related?”
Sally’s heart skipped a beat. How did he manage to think about the secret room?
Clenching her fist tightly, she pretended to be confused as she asked, “What secret room?” She thought for a moment then declared, “No. I haven’t seen any secret room. How could there be any secret room here?”
Kyle looked at Sally, who tried to feign her ignorance. His icy eyes darkened. Without continuing the conversation, he walked outside.
Sally let out a deep breath and immediately went after him.
After exiting the manor, Kyle took out his phone instantly and sent a message when he was in the car.
Right after sending, he saw Sally knocking on his car door. “Let me in.”
Kyle swiped a glance at her then opened the door. After sitting down, she turned her head, stared at Kyle, and questioned, “Why did you bring me to my family’s old manor? Is it just for me to admit that I’m the daughter of the Maupay family?”
After some momentary silence, Kyle turned his head to look at Sally. He showed his devilish smile and answered, “Have a guess!”
Guess? How can I make the correct guess?
“Your thoughts are enigmatic. I have no idea.”
Kyle started the car engine and headed to Imperial Garden after glancing at Sally.
On the way, Sally tried to probe about the position Kyle intended to arrange for her in Seet Group. However, he only said to her, “You’ll find out when you’re there.”
Sally was speechless and pouted her mouth.
The worst that would happen to me would be to start off as an intern.
At that moment, she wouldn’t have guessed how special was the position Kyle had arranged for her.
Back in Imperial Garden, Sally immediately sent a message to those staying in Maupay Manor to be more careful in hiding their trails. Based on Kyle’s personality, she knew that once he found out that people were staying there, he wouldn’t let things slide if he did not find out anything.
On the other end, Kyle’s assistant had immediately ordered people to lurk in the old Maupay manor to observe everything and anything that happened over there once he received the message.
“Mr. Kyle wants us to monitor who lives inside.”
“Why would anyone live in a place like this? Did Mr. Kyle make a mistake?”
“Mr. Kyle won’t get it wrong. We only need to carry out our orders.”
