When Aurora Sterling's grandfather was alive, he spent most of his time and energy on his research.
Even at home, aside from sleeping and eating, he almost always stayed in his study.
Moreover, the old man loved peace and quiet and hated to be disturbed. The slightest noise could bother him.
Therefore, his study was situated in a relatively hidden corner of the residence.
Due to the massive fire, the interior of the Sterling Residence was severely damaged. Her grandfather's study was already in a hidden location, and with debris from the fire blocking it, the firefighters didn't find it during their initial search of the residence.
On their second entry into the burning residence, following the Sterling Family's description, the firefighters quickly located the study, its entrance obstructed.
Outside, fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances filled the courtyard.
