At Chesire Mansion.

“Sir Chesire!” a voice filled with immense joy echoed from outside. Ben, the majordomo who had been by Donovan’s side for over 40 years, hurriedly entered the living room. His face beamed with unrestrained delight as he handed his phone to Donovan, his voice trembling with excitement.
