Chapter 265
Crossed off along with Mike's name was Ian's name.
Ian had been to the house twice, but he only stayed in the living room on the first floor.
Rita, on the other hand, had been upstairs.
When everyone found her, she was on the second floor.
It was just that this girl didn't seem too bright.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have cried her eyes out at the time.
He didn't cross off Rita's name, but his attention moved to Sarah's name.
Could it be Sarah?
But every time Sarah came over, there were people in the house.
She had no chance to enter his study and take anything.
He could only wait for the surveillance.
That night, he checked the surveillance in the monitoring room and didn't sleep at all.
The day he brought Violette to his house, the surveillance was attacked and interrupted for three hours.
Now, as long as he made sure the surveillance was normal at other times and if anyone broke in, he
would know where the problem was.
Back in the bedroom, he couldn't sleep at all.
Before he could find his stuff, his heart felt crushed and shattered.
If he could face that dark past and that version of himself, he wouldn't have divorced Violette.
Noon.
Dozens of bodyguards had checked all the surveillance footage from the past month.
"Boss, we focused on checking the surveillance at the entrance of your study, and no one entered or
exited besides you and Lacey," the bodyguard reported. "Every time Lacey came out, she was holding
cleaning supplies and nothing else."
Elijah's eyes closed in despair.
He never doubted Lacey.
Lacey had served him for many years, always loyal and devoted.
If Lacey had any ill intentions, she would have betrayed him long ago.
"Ms. Dennis's kids were here the day the surveillance was broken for three hours. Is it possible
someone went into your study during that time?" the bodyguard asked.
Elijah's eyes darkened a bit.
After the bodyguard left, he picked up his phone and dialed Violette's number.
Violette saw his call and thought it was about work, so she answered.
"Violette, I lost something." Because he hadn't slept all night, his voice was hoarse and bleak.
Violette hesitated, "What did you lose?"
"This thing was still here a month ago. I checked the surveillance overnight for the past month and
found no abnormalities. But when you were at my house, your son broke my surveillance, and there
was a three-hour blackout."
Violette understood and felt a chill in her heart, "Elijah, I didn't take your stuff! I couldn't possibly take
your stuff!"
She didn't take any of the expensive gifts he gave her when they were together.
"I didn't suspect you," Elijah listened to her intense tone, his heart tightening, "Can you ask your kids if
they took a dark red box from me?"
"I haven't seen a dark red box at home. If they took something from you, they would definitely tell me."
Violette said with certainty, closing her laptop, "I'm going home to look for it now."
"Okay." His voice was still hoarse.
Violette's heart softened a bit, asking him, "Did you not sleep all night? Did you lose something
important?"
"Very important." He rubbed his brow, pained, "If you see that box at home, please don't open it."
"I understand." Violette felt a lump in her throat, wanting to comfort him, but not knowing how.
The best comfort she could give him now was to help him find his stuff.
She left the office and strode towards the elevator.
She always knew he had unspeakable secrets.
Now, the box hiding his secret was lost.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
She didn't know who took it, but i
t definitely wasn't Ian and Rita!
Although they didn’t like Elijah, they couldn't have stolen anything.
Even so, she decided to search her house thoroughly.
What if that box was in her house?
