Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 469

Chapter 469

As Ron was smashing the closet, everyone looked at its insides with bated breath. The space behind the cabinet was tiny, and there was barely any space for maneuvering after Ron crawled in.

It was then Leanna asked him, "Did you find anything?"

Shaking his head, he found this situation completely off. Jethro couldn't have put so much effort into making a human-sized enclosure yet not put anything in it.

As Louis entered and scanned the enclosed space, he reached out to touch the wall. "This wall is unlike the others in the room. It's so rough, and you can see that the cement was not covered on some parts of the wall."

Leanna parted her lips and understood her brother's words, but she could not wrap her head around the situation. What is this thing for Jethro to build a wall behind his closet?

At this point, Zoe peeked inside and asked, "It's quite troublesome to tear down a wall. How about we call the experts to do it?"

Ron looked at the pock-marked wall and use his rod to knock on it. Immediately, some chunks fell off. "Since the cement did not cover the entire wall, it's not hard to tear it down," he commented.

With one look, they could tell that Jethro had very limited strength and energy when building this wall, hence the shoddy workmanship.

Finding the biggest crack in the wall, Ron struck at it with all his might, instantly collapsing the wall. It was then a rectangular wooden box revealed itself in the corner of the wall.

At that, Zoe could not help but express, "He did hide something in here! Could it be some priceless treasure?"

The moment Leanna saw the box, she clamped up on the spot with a bad premonition and instinctively grabbed onto Louis' arm. Meanwhile, Ron kneeled on the rubble before taking out a dagger to pry open the box.

The instant it was opened, everyone on the scene froze.

A chilly wind ran down Zoe's spine and she was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue while talking. Subconsciously, she stumbled backward only to hit an object. Turning around, she saw that Daniel was staring ahead with a gaze darker than Leanna's and Louis'.
