"Young Master Bates..."
Nicholas Woods was somewhat worried about Noah Bates' current state, but Noah Bates insisted on letting Nicholas go first. As an assistant, he had no choice but to leave, and as he left, he saw Noah Bates sitting alone in the car, looking somewhat... pitiful.
Violet Don and Milo Hanson returned with groceries and just happened to see a business van parked under their apartment building. However, as the night grew darker, Violet could not see clearly the man sitting in the car, and walked straight to the elevator with Milo Hanson, while Noah Bates stared at her back and irritably pulled out a cigarette.
After dinner, Milo Hanson greeted Violet and her son Wayne Don before leaving. It was already nine o'clock at night. He went downstairs and saw the business van still parked there. He felt puzzled, but didn't think much of it, because the residential complex was very high-end, and the car looked expensive, so it probably wasn't anyone suspicious.
