Chapter 264 The box had been in the same spot for the past twenty years, and there had been no problems before. Now, it was gone!
When he noticed that the box was gone, he immediately took all the books down from the third rack. As the shelf was attached to the wall, there was no possibility that the box could have fallen down a crack.
After a while, he moved all the books to the ground and searched through the books once again. The shelf was empty, yet he still could not find the box.
“Who is it?!” he thought. His vision grew red with rage. “Who came into my study and took what‘s mine?!”
He vaguely remembered seeing the box about a month ago.
He immediately made a call to the surveillance room. “Pull all the footage from the recent month! Someone has been in my study!”
The bodyguard was terrified. “Yes! I will have the footage pulled immediately!”
“Gather all available personnel to comb through the footage!” Elliot barked as his heart thumped nervously.
“Yes!”
Mrs. Cooper’s heart sank when she took Shea back to the living room and saw the dark expression on Elliot‘s face.
“Sir, what happened?”
“Someone took something from my study,” he said.
Mrs. Cooper gasped.
“Compile a list of people who have been here in the past month and give it to me as soon as possible!” he said. The command given, he took Shea‘s hand in his and lead her to her room.
Shea was slightly startled.
Once they were back in her room, Elliot held her hands and said, “Shea, have you been inside my study room?”
