Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1208: Sealed Space?

At midnight, Thomas Grant led a small team into Newmont Castle, which was acquired by the Marsden Estate.

This castle is newly constructed, and its designer is a very famous blogger who likes to share his design drafts online with others.

So Thomas Grant hardly had to lift a finger to download the structure plans for this castle.

"You guys over there, take a look at this area, there might be a sealed space here. Pay attention. You guys over there, Patrick Sullivan and I will check this spot, as well. There’s also an unaccounted-for space there, so see if there’s a sealed compartment."

Thomas Grant had switched cars several times since this morning and circled the outskirts of Newmont Castle multiple times to observe its structure from the outside, comparing it with the design plans and making a series of predictions.

Now, based on the blueprints and what he had observed today, he delineated specific zones on the blueprints and began assigning teams for reconnaissance.

The Marsden Family’s new castle still employs quite a few servants, most of whom were brought over from the original estate.

However, as night has fallen, most of the servants have retired to their rooms, with only a few still active downstairs.

Thomas Grant led Patrick Sullivan into the basement.

The lighting here was very dim, and the mix of dampness and mold made it quite uncomfortable. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I don’t think this place could hold the young mistress."

Patrick Sullivan tapped on the walls all around, sensing that the walls of this new castle weren’t very solid.

And in his memory, July Quinn could take down a specially trained Vanguard War General with a single punch.

Using these walls to confine her is like trying to trap her with foam pads.

"I’ve investigated; welders came into this castle a few days ago."

Thomas Grant said this while continuing to lead Patrick Sullivan deeper inside.

Indeed, before entering this castle, he needed to ascertain what modifications may have been made recently.

So, he also looked into what outsiders had come in at this time.

Strangely though, there were no cement workers, but batches of welders kept coming through.

This anomaly caught Thomas Grant’s attention.

So, this time when they entered Newmont Castle, they brought a special liquid capable of dissolving welded parts.

However, even after scouring the entire basement and checking the area with the sealed compartment, there was no trace of July Quinn.

Patrick Sullivan seized the opportunity to contact other teammates, "Any progress?"

"Not yet. Currently, only Joseph’s room and Jennings’ room are inaccessible."

The team relayed further information, saying: "Jennings’ room is larger than expected, almost combining two rooms, including the area Helmsman Grant mentioned that might contain a sealed compartment."

"Moreover, the windows are sealed, and the butler is always lingering at his room’s door, leaving us without a chance to enter."

The information from the team suggested to Thomas Grant that there was something in play.

"Retreat for now, I will go with Patrick Sullivan to breach those two rooms."

After issuing this order, Thomas Grant promptly led Patrick Sullivan to the castle’s exterior.

The butler’s constant presence at the door, coupled with the tightly shut windows, indeed raised suspicions.

Thomas Grant planned to break in through the windows.

He and Patrick Sullivan used retractable ropes to scale the windows, intending to unlock them with wires.

Curiously, the window swung open with just a push.

Thomas Grant and Patrick Sullivan exchanged looks, and the confusion was evident in each other’s eyes.

According to the team, the windows here should have been locked from the inside.

Why did it open with just a push?

Could it be that Jennings had returned to the room?
