Silverleaf Ridge.
Albina Palmer was a bit surprised when Violette rushed home.
"Violette, have you eaten yet?"
"Mom, have you ever seen a dark red box at home?" Violette threw her bag on the sofa and strode
towards the kids' room.
"A dark red box?" Albina followed her steps, murmuring, "I didn't notice, what's up?"
"Elijah lost a dark red box." Violette spoke a bit fast, "He checked the surveillance footage and found no
problems. But Ian blacked out his surveillance camera when he went to his house to find me a while
ago. He suspects Ian has something to do with it."
Albina frowned, "He suspects Ian took it?"
Violette looked at her mother, "Mom, I know you don't believe Ian would do such a thing, and I don't
either. But think about it, how many crazy things has Ian done behind our backs?"
Albina took a deep breath and didn't argue.
"A dark red box, right? Is there something important inside?" Albina said and started searching with
her.
"He said it's important." Violette looked worried.
"If it's important, why didn't he keep it safe?" Albina was puzzled, "If our Ian could so easily take his
stuff, it must have been in a very obvious place."
Violette explained, "There are bodyguards guarding his house all day, and there are surveillance
cameras inside and outside."
Because of the layers of security, no matter where he put his stuff in the house, most people wouldn't
dare take it.
Albina didn't say anything more.
The mother and daughter searched the kids' room thoroughly but found no dark red box.
Violette came out of the room and began searching the entire villa.
An hour later, nothing was found.
"Violette, if he suspects us, let him come and search." Albina was tired and sat down to rest on the
sofa.
Violette took out her phone, went to the balcony, and dialed Elijah.
"I don't find the box you mentioned at my house." She started, "I'll ask the kids when they get home
from school tonight."
Elijah, "Okay."
"Elijah, what will happen if you can't find that box?" Violette's worries unconsciously surfaced.
"Nothing will happen." He didn't want her to worry.
"Oh... Since it won't matter, you should go to sleep first, and look for it after you've rested." Violette's
tense heartstrings relaxed a bit, "Sometimes the more anxious you are, the more chaotic things get.
Maybe it'll show up when you're not looking."
"Okay."
He had already searched the entire villa several times.
The box was basically confirmed to not be at home.
As for who took it, he had no clue.
If Violette's child took it, it must be at her house.
But she didn't find it at home, which meant her child didn't take it.
Who else could it be?
Why did that person take his stuff and not use it to threaten him?
If that person didn't want his money, did they not want to harm him either?
If the contents of the box were made public, he would fall from grace.
But that person didn't make it public.
If they didn't want to harm him, why would they secretly take his stuff?
He couldn't figure it out.
He laid in bed, forcing himself to rest, but no matter what, he couldn't calm down.
In the evening.
The two kids came home from school.
Violette took their backpacks and checked them one by one.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Apart from spare clothes and textbooks, there was nothing else in the two children's backpacks.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" Rita asked, blinking her curious big eyes in confusion.
"Rita, Ian, have you two ever taken a dark red box from Elijah's house?" Violette squatted down and
looked at the two kids.
Rita's little face flushed instantly.
She panicked! Her little heart was pounding wildly.
