The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 496

Callahan Residence.

The two bodyguards, who had returned from Lyre Spiti, limped upstairs and knocked on the door of Shane's study.

"Come in."

The two of them held each other in misery.

Shane was annotating a document and noticed the two moving inexplicably.

"What's going on? Where's Rebecca?"

"Mr. Shane, Miss Rebecca is staying at Lyre Spiti and is not coming back."

Shane put down his pen and raised an eyebrow in interest, "That's not bad, so why don't you two follow her? Do you come back for what?"

The bodyguards looked bitter, "We're forced out by Mrs. White. She had Eleven beat us both. Saying we should go back to wherever we come from."

Snap-

A teacup flew to the feet of both men.

The tea splashed everywhere and the sound was appalling, signaling his anger.

"Useless things. Get out."

He grimaced, held his forehead and rubbed his temples. He had a nervous headache.

Melissa was tightly regulated and Rebecca was too simple to make things work.

It was tricky.

He annoyingly opened the drawer and took out a transparent crystals that were colorless and tasteless like rock candy.

He inhaled violently, stimulating his nerves, which made him feel comfortable quite a lot.

Knock-knock-

The door to the study was knocked on again.

He put the crystal away and put it back in the drawer while keeping his countenance.

The person who came in was Tom, the butler.

Tom stepped forward and respectfully handed something over to Shane's desk with both hands.

Shane looked down at the mud-stained penthouse key.

It was the key he gave Tom.

"Where did you find it?"

Tom: "It's in the garden, hidden in the dirt, under the grass. With only its golden side is exposed. That is why we have searched all night and found nothing."

Shane picked up the small key. His fingers were stained with dirt.

He rubbed the earth carefully. The clear crystals made him pleasant so it was rare that he didn't lose his temper immediately.

"Tom, tell me your guess."

"At last night's party, only Mr. Anthony came close to me because he bumped into me. I suspect that it was Mr. Anthony who purposely buried the key for fear that he would go exposed."

Shane listened quietly and analyzed the matter in a clear and organized manner.

"He didn't bury it. It is impossible for him to leave such obvious traces. If he really buried it, the key would be buried deeply. I'm afraid you couldn't find it in years."

"So, he should have tried to return the key secretly. But he found out that I was alert. He panicked and threw it out of the room, and that's what happened."

Tom nodded, "You're right. That should be the case."

Shane laughed slightly and eerily. Gradually, he turned cold, and soon became furious.

With rage, he directly threw all the papers on the table to the ground, even the computer was smashed.

"Anthony! This bastard!"

The key was taken by him, and the missing potion on the top floor must have been stolen by him.

He really did conspire with Lyra to set him up.
