Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!

Upon hearing these words, Sadie couldn't help but think of Tristan, who also had a penchant for keeping such fierce beasts. It was no wonder he got along well with Riley. Sadie pressed, "Anything else?"

"Nothing else, really," Paula replied earnestly, shaking her head. "Actually, Rylan called the day before yesterday asking about these things. I thought about it for a long time but didn't remember these two details at the time." "It's okay, I'll tell him," Sadie reassured her.

Sadie quickly called Rylan to relay the clues Paula had provided, then continued her search through Hubert's study for more information.

Suddenly, she discovered an old photo showing a figure crouched next to an injured wolf pup.

The image, taken from afar and at an angle, was water-damaged, yellowed, and discolored, making it even harder to see clearly.

However, it was still possible to discern that the figure was somewhat slim and petite, resembling a teenager. They were dressed in camouflage pants, an army green short-sleeved T-shirt, black shoes, had short hair, and wore a straw hat. "Who is this?" Sadie asked Paula urgently.noveldrama

"This is Riley," Paula responded excitedly. "Sadie, how did you find it?"

"Is this Riley?" Sadie exclaimed. She quickly took the photo to the light to examine it more closely. It was so blurry that, apart from a slender back, nothing else could be seen clearly.

Paula nodded. "Yes. When I first came here, this photo was already in the study. Later, I didn't know where it went. How did you find it?"

"Are there any other photos?" Sadie asked, her excitement evident. She immediately took a picture of the photo with her phone and sent it to Rylan and Andrew, asking them to follow up on the clue.

"No, just this one," Paula said confidently. "Mr. Henry said it was taken by a group of college students who happened to pass by. They later sent the photo over, saying Riley didn't like taking pictures."

Paula sighed deeply, "When Riley went down the mountain to learn other things, Mr. Henry was very upset, thinking Riley had already mastered the essence of medicine. Riley didn't listen, and they had a big falling out over it."

"Yes, later Mr. Henry didn't acknowledge Riley as a student anymore," Percy interjected as he came over to get something. "All these years, Mr. Henry never mentioned Riley. If it weren't for Mr. Clemens..." Percy abruptly stopped, realizing he might have said too much.

Sadie understood they were still trying to keep things from Micah and sighed, "I've come to find Riley. Do you think I don't already know?"

"Oh, right," Percy and Paula exchanged glances, shifting uncomfortably and suddenly realizing.

The two of them were fairly simple-minded, still thinking in a rather naive and immature manner, so they hadn't considered many aspects.

"By the way," Sadie changed the subject, "what are your plans next?"

"We don't have any other plans for now, just to fix up this house," Percy replied. "It leaks when it rains, and I'm afraid it will ruin the books Mr. Henry left behind."

"I want to ask you to come down the mountain with me," Sadie said, her voice tinged with sadness. "Micah's illness is getting worse, and we haven't found Riley. I'm afraid something might happen to him."

"Sadie, if you need us, of course, we're willing to help," Percy said quickly, glancing at Paula for confirmation. "But I still want to fix the house first before leaving. It might take a few days. Is that okay?"

"Sure, of course," Sadie nodded quickly, giving them a reassuring smile. "I'll send someone to pick you up then. Today, I'll take a few books back, along with this photo."

"No problem!" Paula and Percy agreed in unison.
