?Chapter 882:


    The familiar rhythm between them returned, and Damian’s taunting smirk softened into a crooked, mischievous grin.


    Lance and Jeff sat in stunned silence, unsettled by the bodyguard’s strange behavior but nagged by an odd familiarity.<fn2733> This text is hosted at findnovel</fn2733>


    “You two idiots!” Damian chuckled. “I’m curious to see how long it takes before you figure out who I am.”


    The way the bodyguard uttered those words in his unique tone stirred memories of Lance and Jeff’s time at Regal Grove. The phrasing, the mocking tone—no one else ever spoke to them that way but Damian. Jeff blurted out, his voice rising, “You’re Damian, aren’t you?”


    A shadow crossed Damian’s face. “Show some respect. You should address me as Mr. Chapman.”


    Jeff widened his eyes. There was no denying it now—this man really was Damian.


    A rush of unexpected relief and happiness flooded Lance. Back then, Elliana had dismissed all the household staff at Regal Grove and flown abroad overnight, giving them no chance to react or even learn where the originally hired household staff had ended up.


    Finding Damian in this ce brought genuine joy to both Lance and Jeff.


    Lance spoke with surprise, “I never thought I’d see you guarding the gates of Rosewood Vi! You’re nothing like the Damian I remember.”


    Damian chuckled and casually swept his hair back. “What can I say? Working for a rich heiress means I’ve got to look the part.”


    Hisughter carried the same careless mischief it always had.


    Lance leaned forward, concern sharpening his tone. “What about the rest of the staff who once worked at Regal Grove? Do you know where any of them ended up?”


    Honestly, Lance only desired to know about Adah’s whereabouts. He’d only encountered Adah once at Regal Grove, yet the memory of her astonishing change—from a in bumpkin to a striking beauty—stuck with him. The image of her tossing aside those shabby clothes and discarding her well-crafted mask remained etched in his mind.

    Even now, he still remembered the way Adah had teased him that day, sending his pulse racing. He had always wished for another chance to see her, but when all the employees at Regal Grove were dismissed, she disappearedpletely. The Norris family imed she had run off for a time, and no one seemed to know where she went.


    Worse, the more his worry and yearning deepened, the less he had any way of finding out about her. Running into Damian now felt like the best chance he’d ever get to ask about her.


    Without the faintest idea of what was running through Lance’s mind, Damian said casually, “They’re all at Rosewood Vi.”


    Jeff’s eyes widened. “All of them are at Rosewood Vi?”


    Working for a wealthy family wasn’t something just anyone could manage. Damian might havended the job due to his skills and a stroke of luck, but the idea that the entire Regal Grove staff had pulled off such a feat seemed impossible. The whole thing didn’t add up.


    Lance leaned forward before Damian could say more and asked urgently, “Is Adah here as well?”


    “Naturally,” said Damian with a shrug. “We’re a team. When the leader moves, we move. That’s how it’s always been.”
