Mikayla walked to security, only to receive a piece of devastating news.

"Mr. Ludwig seldom comes back. The camera at the entrance was broken before and has never been repaired," a security guard told Mikayla, who came to inquire about the surveillance footage.

Mikayla stepped on the gravel road and mused, 'I've underestimated Natasha! She has been wandering around the Ludwig mansion every day. She probably knows this mansion better than anyone else. How could she make such a silly mistake?' Just then, she ran into Myla, who came out of the mansion. The latter was the housekeeper who took care of Natasha. "Myla!" Mikayla greeted her with a smile. Myla looked at Mikayla in surprise. After all, the Ludwig mansion was a place of humility, and she must be more disciplined than others after being next to Natasha for so long. Despite her reluctance, she nodded slightly to Mikayla. "Mrs. Ludwig."

"Myla, how long have you been taking care of Natasha?" Mikayla asked.

At Mikayla's unexpected question, Myla's expression softened a little. She answered truthfully, "I've been caring for Natasha since she was a child."

"Myla, can you show me that painting? The one that Natasha gave me." Seeing that Myla no longer talked sharply at the mention of Natasha, Mikayla continued, "You've been caring for Natasha since her childhood. You're also the closest person to her. Honestly, it wasn't me who ripped the painting, much less threw it into the pool. I hope you'll tell me what happened and show me Natasha's painting, will you? Surely, you don't want to see her sad, let alone affect her relationship with Carlos."

Mikayla believed that Myla, who had helped Natasha since childhood, must have cared about her more than others. Therefore, she had no choice but to take advantage of Myla's affection for Natasha. As Mikayla expected, the way Myla looked at her changed. The housekeeper told her the whole story.

"After breakfast today, I wheeled Ms. Ludwig around the garden to aid digestion. However, when we were about to return, she suddenly wanted to see the koi fish in the pool. Then, she saw a painting torn in half floating in the pool. She loves painting the most, so she broke down in tears. Later, we asked someone to retrieve it. It was the painting she gifted you and Mr. Ludwig," Myla explained.

Mikayla quickly processed the information from Myla and asked, "Where's that pool?"

Myla pointed to the pool not far away. "It's over there."

It was in the middle where the entrance and the mansion were connected, and there was still a long distance from the pool. She asked again, "Does Natasha usually like
