The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 470

The corridor was dimly lit. With the help of the flashlight, they could vaguely see the tightly-shut doors along the way.

Nico led Gwendolyn down the corridor while Karl, the butler, followed closely behind them.

The first door they opened showed a study.

They flipped the switch, and the lights in the room turned on.

Nico waved at the soldiers standing outside the metal door, gesturing for them to enter. Seeing this, they jogged in and acted as if they were rummaging through the room to look for the missing crystal earrings.

Karl took in a deep breath anxiously and continued following after them.
