Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 262: Searching For Clues III

"Ewan, you are a genius!" Aiden screamed, laughing—his laughter a mixture of surprise, disbelief, and amazement—as he gently clasped Ewan on the shoulder, shaking him until Ewan laughed too, a beautiful husky sound filled with victory.

Sandro and Zane followed suit, clasping Ewan’s shoulders, relief pouring over them in waves.

"You did it, man!" Their voices echoed, their gazes focused on the new room before then.

However, Athena remained behind, her jaw slackened and eyes widened a fraction in shock. What just happened?

How was Ewan able to tell there was a door there? Her gaze fell on the wood he had utilized, and she shook her head in disbelief.

In a matter of days, Ewan had shown her that he was more than just a billionaire businessman; there was something else at play here—yes, successful businessmen were astute and sharp, but this... this was on a whole new level.

She pulled out her phone, opened the reminder app, and set one—she couldn’t forget to research Ewan and his friends. She needed to know their backgrounds on some matters.

That settled, she inhaled sharply and walked toward him, especially since he was looking at her with a strange expression. If she didn’t know better, she would think he was expectant of her praise.

"You did good," She muttered right before walking past him into the dim room.

Ewan smiled, a different smile than the one he had worn while opening the door—this one was a smile of sheer pleasure at being praised by someone special.

However, the glimmer of joy faded when he met Zane’s frown. Not wanting to be pegged as a lovesick idiot, he shrugged and walked into the room, remaining still until the walls closed back.

"There must be a switch somewhere; let’s locate it," He pointed out hastily, right before the walls closed completely, realizing that the dim light in the room had come from the previous space they had been in.

Luckily, Aiden managed to reach a switch just before they were plunged into darkness. Bright fluorescent light cocooned the room, illuminating the dark corners that had previously remained oblivious to the team.

"Wow, so this is it? We found it, guys..." Sandro muttered, pointing at the stack of boxes piled high to the sandy ceiling. The room was filled with boxes upon boxes.

To confirm their find, Aiden strolled over to the first stack of the large brown boxes and carefully carried one box down. The group joined him, brimming with anticipation, leaning in as he opened the box to reveal another inner box.

"Perhaps a protective casing..." He murmured, his voice hopeful, unwilling to entertain hopelessness now that they were at this stage of their search. They all gasped when they saw the contents of the box.
