Chapter 261
“Yes,” Cameron replied to the message immediately.
Soon after, Lord Blackheart called.
“Dr. Smith, I need to take a call,” Cameron said as he took a deep breath.
“Okay.” Tara nodded and noticed the sudden seriousness in Cameron’s expression.
Cameron pressed the call button, and Lord Blackheart’s voice came through. “Master, I’ve found out that your mother once owned a house in Yrando, but now it’s registered under the name of the Zimmer family’s patriarch, Max.”
“A house in Yrando?” Lord Blackheart’s words made Cameron stiffen.
His eyes turned red involuntarily. That was the only house in his memory, filled with childhood moments shared solely with his mother.
Over a decade had passed since he last returned to Yrando. The city had changed entirely. He couldn’t find his way home and thought the house had been demolished in urban redevelopment. He never expected Lord Blackheart to find it.
“Why is my mother’s house in the hands of the Zimmer family?” Cameron asked while taking a deep
breath.
“I’m not sure yet, but I know the Zimmer and Xander families have been closely associated over the years,” Blackheart reported.
“The Xander family?” Cameron’s eyes narrowed as his thoughts drifted to Alan.
“Sir, I’m currently investigating the Zimmer family. I believe we’ll have results soon. What are your plans?” Lord Blackheart inquired.
“I’m going to my mother’s house. Send me the address.”
“Do you plan to confront the Zimmer family now?”
“I’ll just take a look first.”
“Understood, sir!” Lord Blackheart confirmed, and the call ended.
Cameron soon received the location from Lord Blackheart.
The address was 23 Meadowbrook Lane. He turned to Tara while trying to control his emotions, but
his voice was still somewhat somber. “I’m sorry, Dr. Smith, but I can’t join you for today’s meal.
Something’s come up. Can you please take me to 23 Meadowbrook Lane?”
“It’s alright. You take care of your matters first.” Tara could sense the turmoil in Cameron’s. emotions. Although she didn’t know the details, she felt it had to be significant.
“Thank you.” Cameron managed a weak smile.

Tara accelerated the car, following the directions to their destination. Half an hour later, they arrived at 23 Meadowbrook Lane.
Tara was taken aback by the luxurious villa that resembled a palace. “Isn’t this Max, the patriarch of the Zimmer family’s, villa? The Zimmer family is now the most prominent family in the province. What are you doing here?”
Cameron looked at the opulent villa with anger nearly bursting from his eyes.
The house had been demolished and rebuilt. His memories and everything that belonged to his mother were gone. The garden was upgraded, and the house was now an eight–story mansion of splendor.
The garden was filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, even featuring an artificial hill with a fountain. The path to the villa’s entrance was lined with long steps.
At the garden’s entrance stood two hostesses in red dresses. A huge banner hung across, inscribed with golden letters: “Wishing the family’s patriarch, Max, a happy 80th birthday. May your blessings
be bountiful.”
“May your blessings be bountiful,” Cameron’s eyes turned red as he read the banner.
