Chapter 167

Renee, overjoyed, hurriedly asked, “Well, where is it? Hurry up and bring it to me!”

The young maid looked fearful and stammered, “M–ma’am, your suitcase was in the basement. It’s… well, it’s best if you see for yourself!”

“What? In the basement?” Renee parroted, caught between laughter and tears at the revelation.

They had exerted so much effort to search the entire villa, yet they overlooked where it would most likely be.

How absurd was that?

However, judging from the maid’s expression, Renee didn’t think things were that simple. Heading downstairs, she went to the basement.

Stefan frowned, and he followed the woman silently.
