Chapter 264
He'd had it for 20 years, and never had any issues.
But, why was it gone now?!
After discovering the box was missing, he took all the books from the third row of the bookshelf.
Since the bookshelf was fixed to the wall, there was no way it could've fallen into a crack.
In no time, he moved all the books from the shelf to the floor.
After emptying the bookshelf, he searched through the piles of books again!
Still nothing!
His eyes turned bloodshot, and a strong murderous intent rose from the bottom of his eyes!
Who?!
Who came into his study and took his stuff?!
He vaguely remembered seeing the box not too long ago.
He called the security room: "Pull up all the surveillance from the past month! Someone's been in my
study!"
The bodyguard didn't even dare to breathe: "Yes! I'll pull up the surveillance right away!"
"Get all the manpower you can and check the surveillance!" He ordered with a tense voice.
"Okay!"
Lacey brought Makayla back to the living room from the backyard, and instantly noticed Elijah's gloomy
and cold face. Her heart tightened. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Elijah: "Someone took something from my study."
Lacey's face turned pale, too shocked to speak.
"List everyone who's been to the house in the past month and give it to me as soon as possible!" After
giving instructions to Lacey, Elijah took Makayla's hand and led her back to her room.
Makayla was a little scared.
Back in the room, Elijah held her hand and asked, "Makayla, have you been to your brother's study?"
Makayla timidly shook her head.
"It's okay. Just asking."
"Brother, what did you lose? I'll help you look for it." Makayla finally spoke after a moment of silence.
Elijah forced a bitter smile: "I'll find it. Don't worry."
"I didn't take it..." Makayla suddenly lowered her eyes, feeling hurt.
"I know you didn't." Elijah helped her sit on the edge of the bed.
Makayla was sensitive and fragile because she didn't have a healthy mind and couldn't self-regulate
like a normal person.
So he had to find a way to cure her.
"Makayla, tell me what you want for your birthday present, and I'll buy it for you." Elijah changed the
subject to something lighter.
Makayla's tension disappeared.
"I want Ian...to play with me." She thought for a while and said her desired 'gift.'
Elijah frowned, feeling it was a bit tricky.
But he didn't want to disappoint his sister.
After all, it wasn't entirely impossible.
After Lacey listed the names, she came to the room.
"Sir, I've put the list in your study." Lacey said, "Let me take care of Makayla."
Elijah left Makayla's room and strode towards the study.
The names on the list were all familiar to him.
Among them, Sarah, Violette, Mike, Ian, and Rita caught his attention.
Before they came to his house, the box had always been on the shelf.
He held a pen in his hand, and first crossed out Violette's name.
Violette couldn't have taken his stuff.
He didn't know why he trusted her so much, just like he trusted himself.
Then, the pen tip stopped at Mike's name.
Mike was originally brought into the living room by his two bodyguards.
He hadn't been upstairs, so how could he have entered the study and taken the box?
