No one else noticed that there was a rhodium ring around the eagle's leg.
That ring was Carla and Zayn's wedding ring.
Perhaps no one else noticed that when the eagle swooped towards Randy, a whistle could be heard. Right after, the eagle stopped and hovered in front of him.
He was posed at just the right angle to notice the ring.
At that moment, Randy had felt a mixture of terror and astonishment.
After the incident, everyone was busy trying to handle the aftermath. Yet Randy was consumed with thoughts about the ring.
He was not stricken by fear nor traumatized. He was just thinking about how his mother's ring ended up on the eagle.
What's going on?
That eagle belongs to the owner of Northridge. If I find out who he is, I'll be able to follow the trail to Mommy.
Thus, Randy released a mechanical dove and sent it to spy on the owner of Northridge.
At that moment, the mechanical dove flew higher and further.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Naya's gentle voice drifted in, "Are you there, Randy?"
Randy knew it would take some time for the dove to reach its destination. Thus, he went to open the door. "What's up, Dr. Goman?"
"Can we chat, Randy?" Naya squatted and gazed at him kindly. "I know you must have been frightened just now. You're just trying to put on a brave front…"
"I think you've misunderstood, " said Randy as he interrupted Naya. His tone was level and calm. "I was a bit scared just now, but I'm fine now. I'm just busy with my own stuff. I'm not trying to avoid anything, so you don't need to be worried."
Naya smiled awkwardly. "I'm glad you're fine."
"Thank you!" Randy politely replied. "Is there anything else?"
"No." Naya hurriedly shook her head. "I'll let you get back to what you were doing."
"Thank you for taking care of Josh and Venus!"
Randy bowed courteously and closed the door.
Naya felt rather vexed, but she had no choice but to return to Josh and Venus.
After that, Randy walked up to the computer and continued tracking the mechanical dove. It was currently flying towards Northridge.
The camera on the mechanical dove recorded everything below it clearly and sent the footage to Randy.
Randy anxiously stared at the computer screen as he waited for the mechanical dove to reveal the answer he was searching for.
At this moment, someone knocked on his door again.
Randy frowned in annoyance. "Who is it?"
"Randy, I asked the kitchen staff to prepare some breakfast. Let's go eat together, " said Jombo gently.
Josh and Venus's voices followed.
"Did they really make hot cross bunnies, Great-grandpa?" Josh asked excitedly.
"They did. I tasked Mrs. Bolistin to learn how to make them. Go eat them now and tell me how they taste, " replied Jombo with a grin.
"Yay, that's great, " cheered Josh as he ran downstairs.
"Where's Randy?" asked Venus.
"I'm calling him out now." Jombo lovingly patted her head. "Go on. We'll join you soon."
"Okay, I'll go look for Dori."
Venus skipped downstairs.
In the room, Randy stared unblinkingly at the screen. The pigeon had arrived at Northridge and was nearing the villa. He did not want to miss seeing the truth, but they were waiting for him outside. Thus, he had no choice but to open the door.
"Randy…"
"Great-grandpa, I'm not hungry yet. You guys can start without me."
Randy turned back to the computer. At that moment, his heart was pounding at a breakneck pace. If he was delayed any longer, he would miss his opportunity.
"Randy, I want to talk to you…"
"I don't want to talk now, " blurted Randy.
Jombo froze, and his gaze darkened.
Randy realized how rude he was acting and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry. I'm just… really busy. Please start breakfast without me."
