Chapter 419

Under the cover of night, there was complete silence in the Harper family's manor.

Suddenly, the door to the guest room opened. Melody slipped quietly down the stairs, careful not to make a sound. Seeing no one around, she took advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the manor's back garden. A few days earlier, Melody had begged Kenneth to agree to a 10-day arrangement, using a final farewell as her excuse to stay with the Harper family.

Now, with the 10 days nearly up, the box Felix had instructed her to find was still nowhere to be seen.

But Melody had searched everywhere.

'Where on earth can the box possibly be?' she thought.

Melody's anxiety was growing by the second.

Melody knew that if she could not find the box, Felix would not let her off.

Therefore, she had to continue searching.

As Melody walked toward the back of the manor, in her peripheral vision, she caught a glimpse of the main courtyard, which still had its lights on. An idea struck her.

Melody had searched every corner of the manor under the pretense of cleaning, including Kenneth's room and even the quarters of the elderly Harper couple.

The only place she had not been was Romeo's private quarters.

Melody wondered if it was possible that the box was at Romeo's

However, Romeo was notoriously strict and traditional, and he clearly disapproved of her. If Romeo found out she had sneaked into his quarters, he would likely chase her out immediately.

'It's risky, but I still have to go!' Melody thought.

Melody gritted her teeth and, under the cover of moonlight, quietly slipped toward Romeo's quarters.

There were hardly any servants in Romeo's courtyard. He disliked anyone hovering under his nose, so even the daytime cleaning was done by the butler himself.

This made it even more likely that the box could be hidden in his quarters.

'But where could it be?' Melody thought.

Melody mulled it over and decided to take a risk. She decided that while Romeo's place still had the lights on, she would sneak over and peer through the window. 'Who knows what I'll find there?' she thought. Melody crept closer, moving quietly.

Unexpectedly, Alexia happened to pass by and when she spotted Melody creeping around in the dead of night, she called out to Melody, "Hey! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to steal something?" Upon hearing Alexia's voice, Melody froze.

Her back stiffened instantly.

This is bad. I've been discovered, Melody thought.

She turned back and smiled helplessly. "What are you talking about, Alexia? How could I possibly be trying to steal something? I merely ate too much for dinner and couldn't sleep, so I'm taking a stroll." "Taking a stroll?* Alexia asked.
