Chapter 192:
Josie, overwhelmed and close to tears, admitted, “I honestly don’t know. Mrs. Harper toldMs. Harper should
tidy her own room, so | steer clear of it. Besides, it’s quite stuffy in here—no windows, no sunlight. It's usually
deserted.”
Caiden’s brow furrowed in response. Trying to reassure Daniela, he said, “Don’t worry. Josie hasn't touched
anything in here, so it’s bound it’s bound to be somewhere around. We don’t have many visitors, so it surely
hasn't been misplaced.”
Upon hearing that, Daniela halted mid-motion, her eyes narrowing as she fixed a piercing gaze on Katrina.
“Why are you staring atlike that? I...” Katrina suddenly remembered the black plastic bag Alexander had
delivered just days prior. She had carelessly tossed it into the overflowing trash bin, commanding Josie to
dispose of it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA flicker of panic flashed through Katrina's eyes, a detail Daniela didn’t miss.
“Where is it now?” Daniela demanded, her expression stern and unyielding.
Peyton grabbed Katrina by the arm and pressed, her voice laced with frustration.
“Where the hell is it?”
Unfamiliar with the upper floors, Peyton was oblivious to the fact that Daniela had been relegated to such a
modest room. In the grandeur of such a vast villa, it was astonishing that Daniela resided in a mere storage
room.
Katrina exchanged a helpless glance with Caiden, her eyes begging for assistance.
Caiden asked, “Where is it?”

Katrina's response was hesitant, her words tumbling out awkwardly.
“That day, Alexander brought it here, encased in a worn-out garbage bag. When | felt it, it was stiff, like thick
cardboard. So | tossed it into the trash can.”
Turning abruptly towards Josie, Katrina rebuked her sharply.
“Josie!”
“How could you let this happen? I threw out something important, and you didn’t even care to check? What's
wrong with you?”
Josie was caught off guard.
Katrina whirled to face Caiden, her unease palpable.
“Alexander's at fault too. How could he be so careless with something that mattered so much? At the very least,
he could have packaged it properly. And really, what interest does a CEO like Alexander have in Daniela’s
sketchbook? If he hadn't taken it in the first place, | wouldn't have dismissed it as trash so thoughtlessly.”
Daniela stood nearby, her fists balled in silent fury, her gaze fixated on Katrina. She glanced towards the door,
noticing the lock that had long been weak, and her eyes darkened with a deep, unsettling shadow.
Worried about facing Peyton's reprimand, Katrina hastily grabbed her phone and called Alexander.
“Alexander, was the black garbage bag you brought over last tthe one with Daniela’s sketchbook in it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander, interrupted during a meeting, took a moment to confirm.
“Yes, that was it.”
“Why on earth didn’t you specify? | assumed you had brought actual garbage, so | threw it out. Now Daniela has
returned and is looking for it. Can't you tell how this mess is makinglook bad?”
Seated in the conference room, Alexander hesitated before instructing Katrina, “Please pass the phone to
Daniela.”
Katrina passed the phone to Daniela, and she accepted it.
