    At the same time, in Howard’s mansion, the bedroom was filled with an air of romance.


    The white sheer curtains were tightly drawn, with a circle of soft yellow fairy lights hanging on them,


    adding a touch of romantic warmth.


    Howardy over Phoebe, drunk in love. His breath was slightlybored as he gently caressed her


    delicate cheek with the back of his hand.


    In his deep and seductive voice, he tenderly asked, “Do you still want to break up?


    Phoebe obediently shook her head. “No, I don’t want to. I can’t bear it.”


    Howard was delighted with this answer.


    He kissed her lips again, passionately.


    Phoebe pushed him away and whispered, “No more, I’m tired.”


    Howard rolled onto his back, leaning against the headboard, the sheets covering his bare torso, his


    abdomen glistening with a thinyer of sweat, exuding a sexy charm.


    He pulled Phoebe into his arms again and then got serious.


    phoebe, I hope you can i your fears and try to visit the Nicholls family a few times. I admit that I have


    my own selfish motives. If your identity as the Nicholls family heiress is publicly announced, we can get


    married with everyone wishing us well, and there will be no doubts from anyone. Even if it’s for the


    sake of our future, I hope you can give it a try.”


    After a momentary pause, he added, “But don’t you worry. No matter what happens, I’ll never

    Phoebe remained silent for a long time.


    After thinking about it rationally, she actually understood Howard’s intention…


    ‘Oh well, let’s give it a try,‘ she thought.

    “Alright, I agree. Once my schedule clears up in a few days, I’ll call Romello and pay a visit to the


    Nicholls family.”


    Howard kissed her forehead contentedly.


    She sighed. Whenever she talked about the Nicholls family, she would recall the terrifying incident she


    had encountered on the rooftop.


    “Howard, do you remember thest time I stayed at the Nicholls family for a few days, trying to help


    Sheena find evidence that Nathaniel is an illegitimate child?”

    Howard nodded. “Of course, I remember. You haven’t been willing to go back since then.”

    She sat up from his embrace, looking him straight in the eye, exining, “The night I got the photos, I


    encountered something particrly terrifying.”


    Howard furrowed his brow slightly, asking, “It’s been so long ago. Why haven’t you mentioned this?”


    “Because at the time, Romello exined it away as my imagination, and I couldn’t remember it clearly


    either. Plus, it was a private matter of the Nicholls family, so I never told anyone about it.”


    Howard became serious. “What happened that day?”


    Phoebe lowered her head, lost in thought, and recounted the events in detail.


    “The Nicholls residence had a rule set by Romello that the top floor would be locked after dark, but it’s


    also where my dad’s study and my mom’s bedroom are located.


    “That day, I climbed in through the window and ended up in my dad’s study, where I stole the photos.


    However, someone hit me from behind with an ashtray and grabbed my neck, truly trying to kill me. The


    study was dimly lit that night, and by the moonlight, I could vaguely see the person’s eyes, filled with


    intense murderous intent, bloodshot and terrifying, like a demon from hell.”


    Phoebe took a deep breath, then continued, “And there was a horrifying voice roaring in my ears.


    saying: Why are you still alive, you’re a disgrace, you should’ve died…”


    Howard listened attentively,pletely stunned by the revtion.

    “That’s crazy… Besides the person’s eyes, do you whether they were a man or a woman?”


    Phoebe closed her eyes, carefully trying to recall.


    After a moment, she shook her head. “I don’t remember.”


    Howard pulled her into his embrace again, gentlyforting her, “If this isn’t just a dream but a real


    experience, then the fact that someone was imprisoned in the Nicholls residence’s top floor for who


    knows how many years is no small matter.”


    She nodded. “Exactly. I’ve always suspected that it was my absent mom. Howard, have you ever seen


    her?”


    “Of course, I’ve seen her, but Madam Nicholls doesn’t seem to go out often. She’never attends society


    teas or gatherings, only appearing at the Nicholls family’s events.”


    Howard paused briefly, then continued, “But I’ve seen her a few times, and she seemed fine, graceful,


    and elegant, nothing like the person you described capable of such madness.”
