Silverleaf Ridge.
Albina Palmer was a bit surprised when Violette rushed home.
"Violette, have you eaten yet?"
"Mom, have you ever seen a dark red box at home?" Violette threw her bag on the sofa and strode towards the kids' room.
"A dark red box?" Albina followed her steps, murmuring, "I didn't notice, what's up?"
"Elijah lost a dark red box." Violette spoke a bit fast, "He checked the surveillance footage and found no problems. But Ian blacked out his surveillance camera when he went to his house to find me a while ago. He suspects Ian has something to do with it."
Albina frowned, "He suspects Ian took it?"
Violette looked at her mother, "Mom, I know you don't believe Ian would do such a thing, and I don't either. But think about it, how many crazy things has Ian done behind our backs?"
Albina took a deep breath and didn't argue.
"A dark red box, right? Is there something important inside?" Albina said and started searching with her.
"He said it's important." Violette looked worried.
"If it's important, why didn't he keep it safe?" Albina was puzzled, "If our Ian could so easily take his stuff, it must have been in a very obvious place."
Violette explained, "There are bodyguards guarding his house all day, and there are surveillance cameras inside and outside."
Because of the layers of security, no matter where he put his stuff in the house, most people wouldn't dare take it.
Albina didn't say anything more.
The mother and daughter searched the kids' room thoroughly but found no dark red box.
Violette came out of the room and began searching the entire villa.
An hour later, nothing was found.
"Violette, if he suspects us, let him come and search." Albina was tired and sat down to rest on the sofa.
Violette took out her phone, went to the balcony, and dialed Elijah.
"I don't find the box you mentioned at my house." She started, "I'll ask the kids when they get home from school tonight."
Elijah, "Okay."
"Elijah, what will happen if you can't find that box?" Violette's worries unconsciously surfaced.
