The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

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.

The Hunt villa basement was two floors below the ground floor, led by long, winding spiral stairs. Having mainly served as a refuge during the catastrophe of the Great War, the airflow could have been better, and the place was dark. Usually, no one would come down here.

When he reached the basement door, he noted it was slightly open. A dark, red light emanated inside, giving off an eerie feeling.

“I–it’s inside…!” the young maid stuttered as she stood outside, not daring to go in.

Renee also noticed the weird scene, but she had already lived in this villa for four years, and there was nothing here that she was afraid of. She pushed the door and went in without hesitation.
