Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 355

At that time, Moonlight Group was already established. His sister was pregnant when she went to surve the property in a few locations. In the end, she picked a two-thousand-square-foot house with a backyard and front yard on Sky Street. At the time, Kent was dating Bethany Langdon, and Bethany was pregnant as well. He proposed to Bethany, who said that he had to buy a house or she would leave him and abort the child. He did not have any money at that time. When his sister found out about his situation, she placed this house under his name.

His sister lived with him. After he and Bethany got married, everyone lived together.Later, his sister and Bethany gave birth to their children one after another. Moonlight Group also became stronger. Her sister bought a luxurious villa and invited them to stay together. Hence, they moved into the villa together. He had never stayed in that two-thousand-square-foot house again. That house was close to the company. His sister often worked in that house. She also liked to plant orchids in the backyard. The biggest feature of that house was that the front yard and backyard were huge. Both yards added up to more than ten thousand square feet. After his sister passed away, the first thing he did was put the house up for sale. Someone then spread the news that the house was inauspicious as someone died there. Hence, he failed to sell it at even 20 percent below the market price. No one wanted to rent it either. In the end, Moonlight Group became bigger and bigger, and he didn’t care about these little things anymore. Moreover, as more and more things happened, he gradually forgot about the existence of this house. Now that it was going to be demolished, he could receive 4 million dollars as compensation. In the past, he did not think much of 4 million dollars, but things were different now. Not to mention 4 million dollars, even 400 thousand dollars was a lot of money to him. Soon, the unknown number called him again. Kent answered the phone.

The staff of the Land Acquisition and Relocation Office verified his identity and said that they wanted to take the time to go over and measure the rooms. Then, they asked about Kent’s requirements. Kent immediately said that they should compensate him according to the standards regarding land acquisition and relocation. At the very least, they should compensate him according to a ratio of He

wanted compensation in cash. In total, the size of the land was about 12 thousand square feet. The price for one square foot was 260 dollars, so if that was multiplied by 1.5, he would get more than 4 million dollars in compensation. If they could not theet this condition, they wouldn’t need to call him again. The staff was very polite and said that they would note it down. They were now in the first phase of the process, where they verified the owner’s identity, measured the house, and did a background check. Kent grunted in response before hanging Now that he was free and well-fed, he immediately went to sleep. The next morning, he went back to Horington.

After returning to Horington, he went to the safe to look for the property deed and the key to the house. He had not seen that house for years. He wondered how it was. many He wanted to measure the area of the backyard first. Unable to find the key, he brought the locksmith to open the door. It had been a long time since he last came. The door lock was rusted and the house looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. It was really impossible to tell that this was the house he had spent around 40 thousand dollars on back then The grass in the front yard and backyard was as tall as an average adult’s height. Surprisingly, there were still living orchids in the backyard. Not only were they alive, but they were also everywhere. At this time, the moth orchids were blooming. The petals emitted a faint fragrance. It smelled really good. “These flowers are so fragrant!” the locksmith exclaimed.

“Yeah, it smells good. Come, see if there’s any other room that’s locked. Help me open it,” Kent said. The locksmith went to turn the doorknobs one by one. The house had been uninhabited for a very long time, so it was moldy and damp. The sofa in the living room had fungi on it. The coffee table was also covered in mold and mushrooms. Several of the rooms were open, but one was locked. “Yes, unlock that one,” Kent said, pointing at the room. His sister actually locked the door. Was there a secret inside there? The locksmith immediately opened the door. Kent walked in. When the roof light suddenly fell, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. Fortunately, it was daytime. If it was nighttime, he would have died. He looked around to make sure nothing would fall again before heading inside. This was actually the study. His sister must have changed the layout subsequently. From what he remembered, the study room was another room. There was a wall filled with bookcases in the room.

The books on the bookcases were unusable. They were dark and wet, and there was a strong musty smell.

There was also a desk. Due to the dampness, there were some water droplets on the surface of the desk. -Kent walked over and reached out to pull open the drawer. The drawer was also locked. He called out to the locksmith. “Here. This is locked. Help me open it.” The locksmith immediately picked the lock. After unlocking the drawer, Kent forcefully opened it. There was a leather bag inside. Kent instantly became excited. Could it be that her sister had saved a huge sum of money in a bank? If there was a password, he could just quietly get it in batches. Just thinking about it made him excited. He immediately opened the leather bag. As soon as he opened it, his face fell. There were two photo albums and a diary inside. He opened the diary and a page immediately fell out. Indeed, in an uninhabited house, the things inside were easily broken. Afraid of destroying the diary, he did not dare to flip through it again.

He recalled the few years he had lived with his sister. He would do almost anything his sister asked him to do. His sister also trusted him very much. Therefore, even if his sister kept a diary, she would definitely not write anything bad about him. He might even say all kinds of good things about him. If that was the case, he would give this diary to Lee as a favor. Perhaps Lee would treat him better after reading it. He was still a little curious about the contents of the diary and wanted to flip through it again. However, when he flipped through it, another page fell out. He was afraid that if he continued to flip through it, the diary would collapse and he would not be able to keep it together. It would be obvious that it had been flipped through ruthlessly. He wouldn’t want Lee to teach him a lesson again. Therefore, he could not touch the diary anymore.

With that thought in mind, he immediately zipped up the leather bag and called Lee while looking around to see if there was anything else of value He had asked his lawyer for Lee’s number. The law firm had memos of Jadeborough’s elites. The call went through and Lee’s indifferent voice came through. “Who is it?” “Lee, it’s me. I found Heather’s photo album.” He was afraid that he would hang

up if he spoke too slowly. As expected, when Lee heard that Heather had a photo album, he was instantly emotional. “Where is it?” “I found it in the house in Horington, in her room,” Kent said. He would never tell Lee that the house under his name was going to be demolished. This house was bought by Heather back then. “I’ll come to get it right away, Lee said and hung up. He immediately got the driver to drive to Horington and sped all the way. Kent quickly checked the entire house. After finding nothing useful, he left the house with the leather bag.
