Chapter 266
Laura was at Starry Villa, and she was shocked to see Avery hurry in.
“Avery, have you had dinner?”
“Mom, have you seen a red box in our house?” Avery tossed her purse to the couch and walked toward the children’s room.
“A red box?” Laura followed her and mumbled, “I don‘t think so. Why?”
“Elliot lost a box like that,” blurted Avery. “He checked the surveillance footage and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary, but Hayden had hacked his surveillance cameras when he went to Elliot’s a while back, and Elliot suspects that something had happened during that time.”
Laura scowled. “He thinks Hayden took it?”
Avery looked at her and said, “Mom, I know that you don‘t think that Hayden would do such a thing, and neither do 1; but how many things has Hayden done that have been out of line so far?”
Laura sighed heavily but did not argue. “A red box, right? Is there something important inside?” she asked as she began searching.
“He said it‘s important,” responded Avery with a heavy heart.
“If it‘s that important, why not keep it somewhere secure?” Laura was confused. “If Hayden can just walk right in and take something that important to him, it means that he didn‘t place it in a secure spot.”
“There are bodyguards guarding his house day and night, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere,” explained Avery.
Due to the tight security, no matter where Elliot had chosen to place his belongings, no ordinary person would dare take anything.
Laura did not say anything.
The two of them searched the children‘s room thoroughly but did not find the box, so Avery stepped out of the room and started looking around the mansion.
An hour later and they still had not found anything.
“Avery, if he suspects us, then ask him to come look for it himself.” Exhausted, Laura sat down on the couch.
“Elliot, what will happen if you don‘t find the box?” Avery could not help but feel concerned.
