Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 355 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

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.
