Chapter 1210:


    A lot of things could change in three years.


    In truth, he hadn’t expected Alex and Sadie to havepletely forgotten about the Perry family. But perhaps that was for the best. It would certainly make the next phase of his n easier to set in motion.


    However… Why was Sadie even interested in purchasing this remote, barrennd? What was her motive?


    Humphrey cocked his head to the side, frowning.


    “Find out what Sadie ns to do with thisnd,” he instructed the driver.


    “Got it, Mr. Perry.” With that, the driver started the engine, and the ck sedan slowly drove away from Faron Retreat.


    Meanwhile, Sadie remained at the entrance of the building, watching Alex approach. For some reason, the air around her seemed to have grown thin. She instinctively took a couple of steps back, widening the distance between her and Alex.


    This didn’t escape Alex’s notice. He faltered in his steps, a hint of sadness flickering in his eyes.


    But it was gone in an instant. He stered a smile on his face and tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.


    “Sadie, I was asked to deliver something to you.” He produced the cardboard box and held it toward her.


    Sadie’s brows furrowed as she stared at the box. She hesitated for a few moments before eventually taking it.


    It felt slightly heavy in her hands. What could be inside?


    Alex caught the confusion on Sadie’s face and said softly, “This is the phone ine sent to a shop for repairs not long ago.”


    So it was ine’s phone. Sadie gave a small nod as understanding dawned.


    “Thank you.” Her words were careful, keeping some distance between them.

    Alex nced around, taking in the lonely, eerie feel of the ce, curiosity clear in his eyes.


    “Sadie, what brings you here?”


    This spot was so far from everything, and Alex knew it wasn’t a ce Sadie would visit without a reason.


    Sadie looked down at the cardboard box in her grip, her voiceing out in a soft rasp. “It’s a long story.” She fell silent for a moment, as if swept up by old memories. “Five years ago, my parents spent some time living here.”


    Alex felt a jolt of surprise.


    Five years ago? Her parents had stayed here?


    All at once, the truth clicked for him. Everything made sense—her reason for being here and her desire for owning thisnd.
