Chapter 181: As CEO, Kellan faced a mountain of tasks piling up after just a few days away.

Once he was sure that Allison was fine, he plunged back into his work.

Allison, on the other hand, had been bedbound for several days, allowing her strength to return.

Once she felt revitalized, her mind turned to the task at hand sneaking around the Lloyd Mansion to dig up answers.

But just as she began hatching her plan, the door creaked open, revealing a small head peeking through.

For a moment, Allison was caught off guard, but a smile soon spread across her face.

Lorna, come here, she called out warmly.

Jim had taken Lorna back to her room earlier for a nap, but now, wide awake and brimming with energy, Lorna stood there, not even bothering with shoes.

Allison scooped the little girl up in her arms, and Lorna melted into the embrace without hesitation, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Allison glanced at the rose garden, her eyes full of significance.

She inquired in a quiet voice, Do you want to play in the garden for a while, Lorna? Lorna, without uttering a word, gave a small nod of agreement.

Alright then, Allison said with a quiet smile.

Lets go take a look.

The rose garden lay in the southeast corner of the Lloyd estate, a place Allison had yet to explore.

She hadnt come up with a reason to visit it until today.

This seemed like the perfect chance.

The garden was a kaleidoscope of colors, brimming with every variety of rose imaginable, plucked from every corner of the globe.

At its heart stood a glass greenhouse, shining like a hidden gem, complete with a small swing that added a touch of whimsy.

The air was thick with the sweet, heady fragrance of roses, the kind that lulled the senses into a peaceful haze.

Behind the greenhouse, Allison caught sight of what looked like a hidden chamber, almost camouflaged by the dense flora.

It was a detail so subtle that it would be easy to overlook if not paying close attention.

Lorna, look at that.
