NovelApexChapter 604
In early October, West Ridge had been experiencing harsh weather, though the locals were accustomed to it.
A black sedan stopped at the village entrance where a middle-aged man with pleasant features was waiting.
A stylishly dressed woman stepped out carrying her suitcase. After exchanging a few words with her driver, the
car drove away.
The man took her suitcase. "Miss Sanders? I'm your cousin's friend. You can callMr. Lambert."
"Thank you, Mr. Lambert."
He led her to a house. "You'll stay here for now. The villagers don't have many modern amenities or reliable
internet. It's quite basic."
"Thank you, Mr. Lambert."
Inside the courtyard, Sarah saw a man, a woman, and an elderly couple staring at her.
"This is our visitor from the city," Mr. Lambert explained to the Wesler family. "She'll be staying in your guest
quarters for a few days."

After putting her suitcase in the small room, Sarah followed Mr. Lambert outside. "Mr. Lambert, can we go see
the factory now?" Sarah asked.
At the mention of the factory, Mr. Larmbert's expression suddenly changed. He smiled awkwardly. "I'm afraid
that's not possible right now. Rest tonight, and I'll take you there in the morning."
Sarah was puzzled. "Has something happened there?"
Mr. Lambert's face paled. "You'll find out soon enough. I'd rather not discuss it right now."
Seeing his reluctance, Sarah didn't press further and returned to the Wesler home.
In her room, she found bedding neatly arranged on the wooden bed, presumably prepared by her hosts.
Having lived her entire life in the city, Sarah had never experienced homes with unpainted walls or earthen
floors. In this age of technology, people here still lived in houses that seemed from another era. The only
electrical fixture was a single hanging light bulb.
That night, she kept seeing shadows moving near her window. At first, she thought it might be the wind, but the
courtyard trees were perfectly still.

The elderly couple was hospitable. Seeing Sarah emerge, they quickly invited her to breakfast.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wesler," she said politely.
The son's gaze grew increasingly unsettling, filled with desire that made her uncomfortable.
She kept her head down, focusing on her meal, deliberately cold and distant. Finally, Mr. Wesler arrived to take
her away.
