In the study room…
"Wow! When did you get all this data on the Payne family?", Sarah asked Aiden with admiration obvious in her voice.
The two of them collected high-level information before they came here, just so that they have an idea about their neighbors, but Aiden dug out a lot of information that is not publicly available.
Aiden threw her a smug glance and didn't respond. He did it before lunch, while Sarah was talking to Master Hollow about Evalina shooting at them and what happened after that. Unintentionally, Sarah reminded him of what happens when he does not take a threat seriously, and a snobby person like Darlene can cause trouble. He will not allow that to happen.
A bit longer chapter... I know that you won't mind. :)
