Chapter 363 Stealing the study and meeting a ghost?


    The living room''s silence, whichsted a few minutes, was broken by Micah.


    He calmly arranged, "Keith, go to the ck to pose a reward, see if you can collect the evidence


    that Anthony is the illegitimate son of the royal family. Leave the other matters to the legal team. I will


    let the legal team draft a n as soon as possible. Rara, you just follow thewyer''s exnation at that


    time."


    Melissa, who had been listening carefully, said, "His illegitimate son''s identity has not been exposed for


    so many years, so it is evident that European Swye''s royal has blocked the news. Maybe it''s not easy


    to collect the evidence, and to post a reward in ck is not necessary."


    She used "his" to refer to Anthony. On the one hand, Anthony was her brother after all. It was


    disrespectful to call him by his full name. On the other hand, she couldn''t call him brother or his first


    name.


    Keith turned his head to look at her, "You have an idea?"


    Melissa nodded, "Maybe I can find the evidence!"


    Shane wanted her to go back to the Cahan Residence, so she could go back and help Lyra find


    evidence by the way.


    Although her father had died, his study and bedroom were still unchanged. She heard that Shane had


    someone to clean daily. All the things were intact. She may be able to find any traces there.


    Keith did not approve, and looked at her worriedly, "You just resume the identity in the Cahan family.


    It''s too risky if you do such a thing. Anthony is your half-brother after all. Even if he is illegitimate, he is


    the family member. If Shane knows, he will not let you off! "


    "No, Shane treats me the best in the Cahan family. He always said that he feels indebted to me for


    more than twenty years. Even if he knows, he will not do anything to me. Don''t worry!"


    ...


    Since there were only three days and time was short, Melissa acted quickly and told Shane that


    afternoon that she wanted to return to the Cahan Residence.


    Shane was happy that she epted her new identity so quickly and was willing toe back and


    integrate into the Cahan family.


    In the evening, Keith helped with the luggage and sent Melissa personally to the Cahan Mansion.


    Melissa searched around and learned that this mansion now didn''t have many important figures except


    for the servants. The eldest brother was dead as was their father. And her third brother was far away in


    foreign trade, and basically did note back much.


    Only Mrs. Cahan, her mother, and her unmarried sister Reba were at home. And her brother


    Shane came back only asionally.


    She learned from the housekeeper that recently Shane had some works in the National Investigation


    Bureau and would probably not be back for the next two days.


    Not wanting to miss the best time, Melissa mapped out the entire mansion in the evening, led by the


    housekeeper.


    "Miss Melissa, the sixth floor is a restricted area. You can never go up there at night. Other than that,


    you can go anywhere you want in the whole mansion during the day."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Melissa didn''t understand, "Didn''t you just say that the sixth floor was my mom''s ce, as well as my


    dad''s study and bedroom when he was alive? So if that''s the case, why can''t I go up there at night?"


    The housekeeper felt embarrassed. He could only bow his head and said, "This is what Mr. Shane has


    ordered. You just returned. There are many things of the Cahan family that you do not understand. In


    the future Mr. Shane should personally tell you about this. You only need to obey Mr. Shane''s order. "


    Melissa stared at him for a while without saying anything.


    It sounded like there was more to the Cahan family than what Shane told her before, more than what


    she knew so far?


    The housekeeper bent slightly and made an inviting gesture, "This is the room prepared for you, so you


    can rest early."


    "Great."


    Melissa closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed for a moment of contemtion.


    Why was it okay during the day but not allowed to go up to the sixth floor at night?


    It always gave her a feeling of ulterior motives, and the more she was not allowed to enter, the more


    her curiosity was aroused.


    At 3 a.m., the entire mansion was unusually quiet and everyone was asleep.


    Melissa gingerly opened the door and quietly went from the fourth floor where she was, up the stairs to


    the top floor.


    But unfortunately, the penthouse was locked.


    She can only look at the dark aisle through a wire door.


    The winter night wind was blowing from the aisle, making her shivering, and adding a touch of eerie


    mystery to the cold sixth floor.


    Melissa was reluctant to go back to her room. The key was probably in Shane''s hands, and perhaps


    the housekeeper had a backup.


    If she wanted to take a peek at the sixth floor, she would have to go off the beaten path except for


    finding a way to get the key.


    Thinking of this, Melissa turned around and went back to her room on the fourth floor. Then she quietly


    opened the window and climbed out through it.


    She grew up in an orphanage and had suffered all kinds of hardships. Catching birds in the trees,


    fishing in the river, she could do anything, and her strength was greater than average girls.


    Climbing up to the sixth floor from the pipe on the exterior wall of the fourth floor was a breeze for her.


    The window on the sixth floor was closed, but fortunately it was unlocked. And she was able to climb


    into the room as she hoped.


    In order not to rm her mother, who lived on the sixth floor and had fallen asleep, she left the lights off


    and turned on the shlight function of her phone.


    After looking the whole room over, she recognized it as a study.


    It was really smooth.


    She held the shlight while rummaging through the entire room. Moving nimbly and looking quickly,


    she didn''t forget to recover while rummaging.


    But the whole room was searched, and there was nothing rted to Anthony.


    Melissa turned her attention back to the rows of bookshelves.


    She had heard from Shane that their father had gone to European Swye once and brought back


    Anthony. And he insisted on giving Anthony, his illegitimate son, a proper identity, so he and Princess


    Cayley should have been very much in love, right?


    Thinking about this, she examined the rows of books, and finally found a book written with Swyean.


    She didn''t know much about Swyean, but she knew certain simple words. At a nce, there was a


    word that meant love in the cover.


    She stood on tiptoe, took the Swyean book from the third shelf, and carefully flipped through it.


    There was a photo of a man and a woman in the book. They put their arms around each other, which


    loooked sweet and intimate. The woman''s exotic blue eyes stood out especially. That was very


    beautiful-looking.


    Melissa decisively shoved the photo into her pocket, turned off the light on her phone, and prepared to


    climbed out from the window.


    There was a sudden rustling of slippers behind her. It was very soft, but Melissa still heard it because


    the surrounding area was so quiet.


    She turned around violently.


    With the vague moonlight, she saw the person''s red eyes bursting with a very hideous and terrifying


    expression.


    She was so startled that before she could run, she was hit hard on the head with an ashtray.


    As she was losing her consciousness, she felt someone choking her, and the person was roaring in a


    shrill voice.


    "Why are you still alive!? Why did youe back!? You''re a disgrace! You shouldn''t live in this world.


    You should die ..."


    With a furious roar, shepletely fainted.


    ...


    When Melissa woke up again, she was covered with a fluffy quilt and was lying in bed.


    She supported her body and tried to sit up, but her head was in excruciating pain. She reached out and


    touched her forehead on which there were thick bandages.


    She felt painful in her neck even when she swallowed.


    "You''re awake. Are you feeling alright?"


    Shane was sitting on the edge of her bed. He looked calm and his tone was vaguely grumbling.


    "Didn''t the housekeeper tell you that you are not allowed to go up at night on the sixth floor? Why don''t


    you listen to me? You have too much guts to go up over the outer wall."


    Melissa''s thoughts gradually returned to her mind. Reacting to something, she immediately touched her


    pants pocket.
