Chapter 131 Aaron stood silently, taking in the quaint little house before him.

"This is where Samuel used to live?" he asked, his voice tinged with skepticism.

"Yes, Mr. Vance," Victor replied, pulling out a photograph from the file to compare it with the house. After confirming it was indeed the right place, he continued, "Shall we go in directly, or...?" Aaron narrowed his eyes as he stared intently at the villa. "Have our men surround the place first." "Understood." Victor nodded and set off to make the arrangements.

Aaron remained, scrutinizing the building with an intensity that hinted at deeper thoughts.

After a moment, he stepped up to the door and knocked.

No response.

He knocked again, but the silence persisted.

"The family went on a trip two weeks ago." A voice from behind made Aaron turn sharply. It was William. Aaron's eyes flashed with sudden intensity. "What are you doing here?" Aaron demanded.

"If you could track this place down, so could I," William replied with a nonchalant smile, meeting Aaron's gaze. "Unfortunately, Serena isn't here." Aaron grabbed William by the collar, his voice low and dangerous. "What gives you the right to use her name?" Finn, witnessing the tension, moved to intervene, but William raised a hand to stop him.

William's smile was faint, almost mocking as he slightly tilted his head. "She gavethat right." Anger flared in Aaron's eyes. "If it weren't for you, Serena wouldn't have disappeared!" William's expression flickered briefly before he composed himself with a smirk. "Her disappearance is partly my fault, that's true. But if you had let her be free, things wouldn't have escalated to this." Aaron's grip tightened, his knuckles whitening. "She belongs to me. Only I have the right to decide her fate." William placed a calm hand over Aaron's. With a soft smile, he leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Vance, you're wrong. You can't hold onto a woman who doesn't love you." Aaron trembled slightly, his grip on William's collar slackening involuntarily.

"Mr. Vance," Victor rejoined them, surprised to see William but continued, "I asked around the neighborhood. No one has seen Samuel's parents or a young woman here recently. We might be at the wrong place." Aaron straightened up, his face an unreadable mask once more.

His gaze fixed on William, he spoke deliberately, "She lovedfor seven years. And I will find her." With those words, he turned and left, climbing into his car without a backward glance.

William watched Aaron's retreating figure, the smile fading from his eyes, leaving only a cold emptiness.

The news of Aaron's visit to Moonhaven quickly reached Samuel.

As the Vice President of L.S. Entertainment, one of Aaron's subsidiary companies, keeping tabs on Aaron's movements was easy for Samuel.

It was all part of his plan for Aaron to find Moonhaven. The only twist was Aaron had arrived at Moonhaven Town, not the original Moonhaven.

Moonhaven was originally named Peacevale Town. In the early 21st century, the town's mayor decided the n"Peacevale" was too commonplace. After seeing the n"Moonhaven Town," he decided to rentheir town to Moonhaven.

Samuel sat back in his office chair.

Although Aaron's trip to Moonhaven was destined to be fruitless, the speed at which he tracked them down was unexpected. Thankfully, his father would be returning in two days.

Samuel turned his attention to his computer screen, attempting to focus but finding it impossible. Meanwhile, back in Moonhaven, after dinner, the four friends settled in the living room to watch TV. Taking advantage of a quiet moment, Rock called Serena outside for a chat.
