Chapter 136 Overhearing Secrets

• **A few days later**
• That night, the atmosphere in the house felt different. It was too quiet and too still, as if the entire mansion had suddenly become lifeless. The chandeliers glowed softly overhead, casting haunting shadows in the hallways. I tried my best to silence my footsteps as I made my way along the hallway.
• I had told myself that I wouldn't wander, but staying shut up in my room made my thoughts run wild. I just wanted to take a walk and take some time to think. But suddenly, I heard hushed voices. Immediately, I froze, too scared to take another step forward.
