Skyler flashed his phone screen to them, showing them the latest text message.

William glanced at the pastries on the table, "How in the world did he know you were munching on cranberry-studded chocolate

chip cookies? Is he keeping tabs on us?"

Kane scratched his head, "Could there be a hacker who's breached the security at Mossy Rock Retreat?"

"We need to tell Leopold, get him to check it out," William suggested.

"Yeah," Kane nodded in agreement.

The tdashed into the house to find Leopold.

At that moment, Leopold was about to take Aurelia for a stroll in the garden.

He tenderly caressed Aurelia's slightly rounded belly.

Skyler caught the gesture out of the corner of his eye and momentarily forgot what he was about to say, his eyes fixed on Aurelia's

tummy.

Aurelia was dressed in a flowy coat that concealed her bump well, so Skyler didn't notice anything amiss at first, just that she

seemed to have put on sweight.

"Angel, is there a little bun in the oven?" he blurted out.

Leopold jumped at the question, quickly dropping his hand. When had the kids cin?

Aurelia chuckled awkwardly, hurrying to explain, "No, what made you think that?"

Skyler replied seriously, "I saw Leopold touching your belly. Why would he do that for no reason, unless there's a baby on the way?"

Aurelia felt faint, and his psychology studies had certainly paid off with his keen observations.

She managed to keep her composure, waving her hand dismissively, "I might have had one too many sugared hawthorns, my

stomach's a bit upset, so he was just comforting me."

"Really?" Skyler scratched his head, puzzled. Had he made a mistake?

William and Kane exchanged glances.

"Mommy, when do you plan to have a baby with Uncle Leopold?" William asked innocently.

"Let's talk about that after the New Year," Aurelia deflected.

"Okay," William stuck out his tongue playfully.

Kane tugged at Skyler's sleeve, "Uncle Skyler, back to business."

"Oh, right." Skyler promptly showed Leopold his phone, "Leopold, | think Geoffrey has planted cameras here at Mossy Rock Retreat.

Look, he even knew about the cranberry chocolate chip cookies."

"Yep, he might be watching you in real-time," Kane added, "You'd better get security to sweep the place with detectors, and search

for any hidden cameras."

Leopold's brow furrowed, a spark of anger flaring in his eyes.

"That pest, ruining the holiday spirit."

Mossy Rock Retreat's security system was state-of-the-art with built-in detection capabilities. If someone had secretly installed

surveillance devices, the system would have alerted them, but no alarms had been raised.

"I'm on it. I'll head to security right now," Leopold said, striding away.

Aurelia's face showed a hint of fury, "That Geoffrey is out of line, relentless. He's nothing but a lunatic."

"Yeah," Skyler agreed, "I suspect he's got a paranoid personality disorder, gets fixated on something, and just can't let go. Once we

catch him, let's send him to the island to join Tanya. He'd love her company, I'm sure."

"Agreed," Aurelia nodded.

Leopold, with the security team, conducted a thorough sweep of Mossy Rock Retreat, leaving no stone unturned.

Yet, no hidden cameras were found. How was Geoffrey spying on Skyler?

Meanwhile, another text from Geoffrey popped up on Skyler's phone.

[Skyler, did you go snitch to Leopold, and have him search for cameras?]

Skyler, filled with righteous indignation, replied, [Yeah, | don't want you spying on me, you creep.]

[Don't waste your energy. You'll never find it. My surveillance gear is extremely covert, undetectable by anyone.]
