Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 181 A Secret Room

Arriving at the Winters Estate, Amanda was taken aback by its sheer size. She realized that searching for Aiden within such a vast property would require time and effort. She could not help but ask, “What do you guys do with such an enormous estate? It’s gonna be challenging to locate someone within its vast grounds. You’re not suggesting we search every nook and cranny, are you?”

Elias sensed the resentment in her voice but chose to remain silent, quietly enduring it.

Boris approached them. “Mr. Elias, how may I assist you?”

Since Elias had the advantage in his territory, he issued a direct command. “Search every corner of the entire estate, both inside and out. We must find a person.”

Boris looked puzzled. “Whom are you looking for?”

Finding someone in such a vast estate was no easy task, and even he had not explored every corner.

“Aiden. Make sure to check the surveillance footage as well.”

Though filled with doubt, Boris nodded. “Understood, I’ll get on it right away. By the way, should I also check the Tranquil Residence where Mrs. Winters resides?”

Do that!”

“Understood.”

Later, Elias and Amanda headed toward the surveillance room to review the footage thoroughly.

She asked, “Could Aiden be with your mother? But she doesn’t seem particularly fond of him…”

If Aiden were hidden there, would he be mistreated?

He explained slowly, “If Aiden is truly there, my mother won’t mistreat him. Despite her dislike for him, he’s still a descendant of the Winters Family.”
