Chapter 47

"Who's that girl?"

I was in the CCTV control room when Milo told me about a girl pacing back and forth in front of the mansion. She keeps making sure the cameras see her, but we can't see her face clearly because it's covered. Only her eyes are visible. She's been out there for a while now, acting suspicious.

"Get her," I ordered our men.

"Maybe it's a trap?" Hiroki suddenly said. He has a point. Maybe this girl is sent by Don Timothy, and we don't know what awaits us when we open the gate to get her.

"But we'll never know if we don't get that girl."

We were at the entrance of the mansion, waiting for the girl to be brought to us. Milo and Owen held her firmly by the shoulders as they come to us. Even from a distance, I could tell something was off, and my brow furrowed in curiosity. As they got closer, my unease grew, wondering what kind of threat this girl might pose and why she kept coming back to our gate. But before bringing her here, they thoroughly checked her for any weapons or bombs, but nothing was detected.

What is this girl planning against us? Was she sent by Don Timothy?

"Who are you?" I asked the girl. Judging by what she is wearing and the way she covered her face, it seems she's not from here. Or could my suspicion be wrong? The girl didn't answer me, but her eyes seemed to be reading me.

"We should bring her inside first," Hiroki told me, and I just nodded.

Once we were all in the living room, we made the suspicious girl kneel while her hands were tied behind her back. I also called for Theron and Camille in case they knew her or know if she's associated with Don Timothy's men.

"Who are you? What were you doing in front of our gate?" I asked her again. I hope this time, she speaks. When she didn't respond again, I signaled Milo to remove the cover from her face so that we could see her clearly, and not just her eyes. "Is she mute or deaf?" I added. Or is she just choosing not to answer us?

"Tamara?" All of us looked at Theron. You could see the surprise and concern in their eyes towards this girl. This girl also looked young. "So, you both know her?" I asked them. It took them a while before Theron answered.

"She's... our daughter."

"What?" The only thing I said in disbelief.

"You have a daughter?" Hiroki also reacted.

Theron nodded. "We had her when... we were in highschool. We kept her a secret from Dad and everyone to keep her safe."

"How old is she now?"

"She just turned 18," Camille proudly stated as she gently caressed her daughter's hair. Her expression shows no hint of regret for having her and keeping her hidden all those years. She looks like a good mother... They seem like good parents.

"Then, this explains why she's here, because of her parents. Now, we'll leave you to have a private talk about family matters," I said. 

Mr. Islwynn and Mr. Evander already left after the short revelation earlier. While Mr. Lim has been in his room since breakfast, busy with online meetings and pending work. I refrained from disturbing him, allowing him to focus on his work. When that kid gets bored, he will bother everyone in the mansion.

"Make sure to bring him water and some snacks." I instructed one of his yayas to bring Mr. Lim some water and snacks. He didn't come down to join Hiroki and me for lunch. When he gets serious about work, he ensures to finish everything first.

"Where are the strawberries?" I immediately asked, furrowing my brow, when the fruit was served without strawberries. They know now that I like strawberries.
