Chapter 851
1/2
At the stime, 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.
Howard lay over Phoebe, drunk in love. His breath was slightly labored 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, | don’t want to. | 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 thin layer of sweat, exuding a sexy charm.

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

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, | 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 nodded. “Of course, | remember. You haven't been willing to go back since then.”

She sat up from his embrace, looking him straight in the eye, explaining, “The night | got the photos, |
encountered something particularly terrifying.”
Howard furrowed his brow slightly, asking, “It's been so long ago. Why haven't you mentioned this?”
“Because at the time, Romello explained it away as my imagination, and | couldn't remember it clearly either.
Plus, it was a private matter of the Nicholls family, so | never told anyone about it.”
Howard becserious. “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, | climbed in through the window and ended up in my dad's study, where | stole the photos. However,

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

Howard listened attentively, completely stunned by the revelation.
do you remember anything about their appearance,
“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, gently comforting 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.”
