Godfery Shaw arrived and immediately saw some weeds growing in the flower bed of the small courtyard. He rolled up his sleeves and entered the flower bed, starting to pull out weeds, carefully avoiding stepping on any flower. After the yard was cleaned, he washed his hands at the watering hose outside. Only then did he skillfully retrieve the key from under the flowerpot on the windowsill. Godfery Shaw frowned slightly. Someone had been there. The position of the key had changed. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 But Godfery Shaw didn’t think much about it; those who cared about Amelia also occasionally came to clean up. Godfery Shaw opened the door and entered. The cold, sharp eyes turned gentle upon entering the house. It’s hard to imagine that someone as intimidating as Godfery Shaw could become gentle. Godfery Shaw looked around, then sat quietly in the room, staring blankly. He’s often over the years; during moments of unrest and self-torment, he would come here to sit. Do nothing, just sit quietly, as if Amelia was still beside him, and he would gradually calm down. However, after sitting for a while today, Godfery Shaw’s expression suddenly changed. The cushion under the window had been picked up! Godfery Shaw’s expression suddenly turned very unpleasant, carrying a hint of hostility. Those who came to clean wouldn’t move anything inside the room; after five years, everything in the house remained unchanged. But now, the cushion under the window had been picked up. It definitely wasn’t Emma’s people! Godfery Shaw contacted Elijah Jefferson immediately. The old district was Elijah Jefferson’s territory, and if he wanted to know what’s going on there, asking Elijah Jefferson was the best way. However, Elijah Jefferson, who was having a gathering with everyone, had his phone on silent and missed the call. Filled with hostility, Godfery Shaw exited the room, closed the door well, and placed the key back under the flowerpot on the windowsill. Then he dialed Hailey Smith’s number: "Arrange someone to watch the old district No. 32. Notify me of anyone entering or exiting." Hailey Smith was taken aback, did Young Master Shaw find something? Hailey Smith feigned composure and quickly responded: "Yes." Hailey Smith was waiting for Young Master Shaw to say something more, but the call was hung up the next second. Has it been discovered? Or not? Hailey Smith was a bit anxious. Godfery Shaw dialed another number. "Anna, give me Elijah’s location within ten minutes." "Ah, boss, he’s a member of our organization. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to check a member’s location?" "Okay, I’ll go right away..." Five minutes later, Godfery Shaw received a location on his phone. The location was close, right in the old district. Godfery Shaw, carrying his anger, headed straight there. He needed to know immediately who had the audacity to enter that house! At this moment, in the hotel. Elijah Jefferson had ordered a table full of specialty dishes. Everyone was chatting and laughing. Nancy Allen couldn’t speak, quietly watching everyone, with a smile in her eyes. To still gather together, it was truly wonderful. Meanwhile, Godfery Shaw was rushing toward them. Godfery Shaw knew this hotel was operated by Elijah Jefferson. He went straight to the reception and coldly asked, "Where is Elijah Jefferson?" The receptionist was startled by Godfery Shaw’s aura: "He... he’s over there in the Chinese restaurant." Godfery Shaw turned and headed that way. Seeing him leave, the receptionist quickly picked up the intercom to notify: "Quick, tell the boss, Young Master Shaw has come furiously looking for him." When Godfery Shaw had talked business with Elijah Jefferson, he’d been to this hotel, so the receptionist knew him well. Moreover, Godfery Shaw was already a prominent figure in Riverwood City; anyone would find it hard not to recognize him. The Chinese restaurant’s server received the notification and rushed over to Elijah Jefferson: "Boss, Young Master Shaw is looking very upset and has come to the hotel for you." The atmosphere changed immediately with this announcement. Nowadays, just mentioning Godfery Shaw, everyone present had different thoughts. Elijah Jefferson said nothing, only looking towards Nancy Allen and asked, "Do you want to meet him?" Nancy glanced at Sophie, shook her head: "Not for now." After speaking, she stood up and went into the inner compartment. She had agreed to let Sophie interact with Godfery Shaw first; having just opened this possibility, it shouldn’t be disrupted. With respect to Godfery Shaw, she would proceed gradually, beginning each day with a bouquet of roses. After Nancy entered the compartment, Elijah Jefferson immediately had her cutlery removed. Godfery Shaw was too perceptive; any small detail might lead him to suspect something. Since Nancy didn’t want to surface now, they should avoid revealing any trace. As soon as the cutlery was removed, Godfery Shaw strode into the Chinese restaurant area and walked towards them. Suppressing his fury, Godfery Shaw bluntly questioned: "Find out who entered her house in the old district!" Elijah Jefferson was slightly uneasy while explaining: "There shouldn’t be anyone; only our own people occasionally check, and there’s a regularly scheduled cleaning crew." With hidden rage in his eyes, Godfery Shaw said: "Someone went in, picked up the cushion by the window." Elijah Jefferson realized instantly; when Nancy went over today, she casually picked up the cushion by the window. Those people wouldn’t move anything inside the room, keeping every detail unchanged, including the cushion thrown in from the outside by Hailey years ago. However, Nancy did not have such a mindset. This was her home; she returned today and seeing the fallen cushion, instinctively picked it up. The problem was here. Elijah Jefferson immediately laughed: "Ah, that was me; I went over today and picked it up." Godfery Shaw squinted slightly, staring at Elijah Jefferson with menacing eyes. One might suspect that in the next moment, Godfery Shaw would come to blows. At that moment, Godfery Shaw noticed, on the dining table, a bone dish appeared between Emma and Sophie. Elijah Jefferson silently cursed, having overlooked something. Seeing this, Sophie suddenly moved the bone dish in front of herself, putting tissues in one, fish bones in the other, and naively calling out: "Mr. Shaw." Only then did Godfery Shaw shift his gaze, slightly restraining the danger in his eyes, cold and indifferent: "No one is to touch anything in her room." After speaking, Godfery Shaw turned and left. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Godfery Shaw’s oppressive presence was too strong. His arrival made the atmosphere seem dense and stifling. After Godfery Shaw left, Nancy emerged from the back compartment. Everyone looked at her. Actually, everyone wanted to know Nancy’s current attitude towards Godfery Shaw. But Nancy didn’t speak, and it wasn’t appropriate for anyone to ask. At this moment, Emma finally couldn’t endure and asked: "Nancy, what do you think about Godfery Shaw?" Nancy took out her notebook that she carried with her, seriously wrote: "I’ve decided to give it a try." Everyone was surprised. Nancy’s reaction was logical, yet beyond their expectations. Five years ago, Nancy’s emotional coldness was witnessed by everyone. Emma continued asking: "Do you plan to give him a chance because of what he did five years ago?" Someone obsessively willing to die with her; hence, a chance was given. Nancy shook her head and wrote: "No, it’s because I’ve been moved long ago, giving myself a chance."
