The knocking persisted.
But Colin didn't hurry to the door; instead, he turned his gaze toward Renee, who was not far away.
Renee nodded and, understanding intuitively, walked toward the entrance.
Meanwhile, Colin slowly made his way to the pavilion in the garden.
Creak, Renee opened the door.
A middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman appeared behind it.
His features were ordinary, but his attire was exquisite, even the two black moustaches above his lips were groomed perfectly.
He exuded an aura of wealth and looked like he came from a notable background.
"Good morning, madame," the man took off his black hat and greeted Renee.
As for Colin, he was out of sight from the man's perspective.
"Good morning, Mr. Hosone," Renee replied politely.
This was the owner of the villa and their landlord, a major real estate developer.
