Summary
He made the rules now. The will, and the secrets it had eventually led to, had seen to that.
And some of the rules would be changing, now that he was officially the Baron. For one thing, he was no longer interested in going one single step further in this madness without consulting the group of people he’d been referring to inside his head as “the adults.” His employees now, he supposed. In any case, it was time to meet them in person. Time to demand detailed answers from them. Politely, of course. He didn't want them to quit. But very firmly.
Or, a look at what might have happened when Simon finally calls back the Mt. Holly staff

Summary
Daniel Jones entered the living room bearing two mugs on a tray. “So! Start at the beginning, if you please.”
Randolph snorted as he accepted the coffee mug from his host. “That’s easy enough. Not to put too fine a point on it, Daniel, but the boy’s figured it all out. All of it. One hundred percent of the things that Mary told me you and she had planned to keep quiet from him until he came of age. Plus a few additional things that I’m not totally clear on myself.”
“You’re kidding! He knows about the heist?” Daniel shifted a stack of magazines, set his own mug down on an end table, and sat in the squashy upholstered chair next to it.
“Well, he’s got your skill with puzzles, his mother’s sheer stubbornness, and both of your brains. We probably shouldn’t be too surprised that he kept picking at Mount Holly’s secrets even after he found Room 46.”
Daniel slapped his open palm on the arm of his chair. “You’re probably right about that, I have to admit. Damn. " He sighed and took a sip of his coffee. “So what do we do now?”
“No clue. That’s part of why I came to you.”
