Chapter 787: Chapter 783: Can’t Remember
“Everyone has been standing for a while, you must be tired. How about we go to the living room for some tea and fruit?”
Right now, Harris could only try to steer them towards the regular guest routine.
However, Mr. Jarvis replied.
“No need for politeness, we’ll just focus on what we need to do. Although we’re here for official business, we can’t keep disturbing Mr. Dunn.”
Harris wanted to say it’s fine. As long as they were willing to put down their curiosity and investigative spirit, he wouldn’t mind throwing a big banquet for them.
But he also knew that Richelle’s purpose for coming here was beyond his control.
“Where do you want to go? I’ll show you the way!”
Now it’s Mr. Jarvis’s turn to reply.
“No need, no need. You go on with your business. With me here, it’s enough. After all, it’s within the scope of a case. Unrelated people should avoid it.”
Harris secretly gritted his teeth in resentment, yet there was nothing he could do.
Damn it, they won’t let me lead the way or accompany them. Do they expect me to watch helplessly as my home is turned upside down?
Though he cursed, Harris was unable to prevent any of Mr. Jarvis’s actions.
After being dismissed, he returned to the living room and asked Joshua to make tea and serve some refreshments and fruit.
After sitting in the living room for about ten minutes, Richelle finally came downstairs accompanied by Mr. Jarvis and others.
Harris stood up, intending to invite them to sit down.
Instead, Richelle pointed towards the backyard and said to him,
“Brother, I’m going to take a walk in the backyard with Mr. Jarvis.”
Harris felt a bit unease and quickly suggested,
“It just rained, and the backyard is wet and damp. Maybe we can just stay indoors today and save the backyard walk for your next visit.”
But Richelle was very insistent.
“No, I feel like I am starting to remember something, but it’s still vague. I remember that I used to love wandering around in the backyard. So, going there now might jog my memory!”
Left without a choice, Harris reluctantly let them go to the backyard.
As Mr. Jarvis still wouldn’t let him tag along, he sat back down to drink some tea.
“Joshua, you’ve cleaned up the backyard, right?”
Joshua nodded, “I cleaned up what I could. There was nothing else I can do.”
Harris knew there wasn’t much that could be done.
After all, nearly eight police officers stood in the front of the house all the time.
There wasn’t much they could clean up, hide, or transfer.
Harris felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the living room, constantly peeking at the backyard situation through the floor-to-ceiling window.
But Richelle only paused briefly in the nearby area before leading the group, walking further along the shaded path, gradually disappearing into the dense woods.
“Joshua, have some gardeners go and work separately, while also keeping an eye on their whereabouts.”
Joshua replied, “Young master, I’ve already arranged everything. I even had them install some hidden listening devices and cameras along the way.”
Joshua was indeed a cunning man. His response to many situations was quite adept.
“Well done!”
Harris felt slightly reassured.
However, it seemed that Richelle was indeed remembering a lot. As they passed through various places, the gardeners relayed back the information.
Richelle was the one talking, but what exactly she was saying, nobody could hear.
Clearly, with Mr. Jarvis present, Richelle’s actions were highly cautious.
“Young Master, this can’t go on like this.”
Joshua was deeply worried.
Of course, Harris knew this couldn’t go on like this. But with the sudden events and Mr. Jarvis present, he couldn’t come up with any good countermeasures right now.
“Young Master, Ms. Richelle and the others have entered the courtyard where Mr. Dunn resides.”
The two newly built small courtyards were at the far end of the backyard where if Richelle continued walking, they’d eventually see them.
It was indeed hard to hide them.
“If they find out, they find out. My dad should be able to handle it. What I’m worried about is Kiara…”
Joshua glanced at the time, “At this hour, Miss should be asleep, so don’t worry.”
Once Richelle and the others entered the courtyard Jayden claimed to be used for spiritual practice, the gardeners couldn’t find an excuse to follow.
After all, Jayden didn’t even allow Harris in, believing that he, being an ordinary person, would defile the divinity within.
Harris always felt that place was bizarre, and lately, Jayden seemed a bit delusional, so Harris never considered entering.
However, in recent days, Jayden kept calling him over and giving him some so-called elixir.
He hid the medicine, had it analyzed, and found out it was just ordinary vitamins.
When Jayden asked him to take it again, Harris simply gulped it down.
“Well, then there shouldn’t be any issues.”
When Kiara was first confined to the house, she had resisted a bit.
But when she realized her resistance was futile, she gradually became dispirited, like a lifeless doll drained of energy and thoughts.
Whenever Harris visited her, she seemed to not recognize him, her eyes empty and unresponsive.
Once, Harris asked her if she remembered her own name.
She lazily glanced at him, “Of course, I am Kiara.”
Harris asked her again, “Then who am I?”
“You’re my brother!”
Harris was delighted, but when he tried to ask her more, she just shook her head and refused to answer.
He didn’t know if she was unwilling to answer or if she truly couldn’t remember.
