Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Mikayla walked to security, only to receive a piece of devastating news.

"Mr. Ludwig seldom comes back. The camera at the entrance was broken before and has never been repaired," a

security guard told Mikayla, who cto inquire about the surveillance footage.

Mikayla stepped on the gravel road and mused, 'lI've underestimated Natasha! She has been wandering around

the Ludwig mansion every day. She probably knows this mansion better than anyone else. How could she make

such a silly mistake?" Just then, she ran into Myla, who cout of the mansion. The latter was the housekeeper

who took care of Natasha. "Myla!" Mikayla greeted her with a smile. Myla looked at Mikayla in surprise. After all,

the Ludwig mansion was a place of humility, and she must be more disciplined than others after being next to

Natasha for so long. Despite her reluctance, she nodded slightly to Mikayla. "Mrs. Ludwig."

"Myla, how long have you been taking care of Natasha?" Mikayla asked.

At Mikayla's unexpected question, Myla's expression softened a little. She answered truthfully, "I've been caring

for Natasha since she was a child."

"Myla, can you showthat painting? The one that Natasha gave me." Seeing that Myla no longer talked

sharply at the mention of Natasha, Mikayla continued, "You've been caring for Natasha since her childhood.

You're also the closest person to her. Honestly, it wasn'twho ripped the painting, much less threw it into the

pool. I hope you'll tellwhat happened and showNatasha's painting, will you? Surely, you don't want to

see her sad, let alone affect her relationship with Carlos."

Mikayla believed that Myla, who had helped Natasha since childhood, must have cared about her more than

others. Therefore, she had no choice but to take advantage of Myla's affection for Natasha. As Mikayla expected,

the way Myla looked at her changed. The housekeeper told her the whole story.

"After breakfast today, | wheeled Ms. Ludwig around the garden to aid digestion. However, when we were about

to return, she suddenly wanted to see the koi fish in the pool. Then, she saw a painting torn in half floating in the

pool. She loves painting the most, so she broke down in tears. Later, we asked someone to retrieve it. It was the

painting she gifted you and Mr. Ludwig," Myla explained.

Mikayla quickly processed the information from Myla and asked, "Where's that pool?"

Myla pointed to the pool not far away. "It's over there."

Mikayla glanced at their current location. It was in the middle where the entrance and the mansion were

connected, and there was still a long distance from the pool. She asked again, "Does Natasha usually like to

watch koi fish?"

Myla glanced at Mikayla suspiciously and averted her gaze. "Yes."

Myla's reaction did not escape Mikayla's sharp eyes. However, she pretended not to see it. "Myla, can | have a

look at that painting?"

"Yes! I'll take you there. It was soaked, so | tried to dry it in the morning and placed it in my room." Myla led

Mikayla to her room. Myla's room was placed across from Natasha's for convenience.

When passing by Natasha's room, Mikayla looked at the closed room and couldn't hear any sound inside. Without

pondering, she followed Myla into her room. Everything was neatly sorted out. Mikayla glanced at the supplies

inside and thought, 'She's treated nicely for a housekeeper. The Ludwig family treats their housekeepers well.

That's why they rejectedso much after the incident.’ Myla handed Mikayla the collected scroll from the table.

It was apparent that Myla was an attentive person.

Opening the scroll, Mikayla looked at the torn painting. After being soaked in water, slines were blurry. After

piecing everything together, it wasn't difficult to see that it was a painting of her and Carlos standing on the

stage looking at each other affectionately when they got married.

"Ms. Ludwig drew this while watching the live stream on her computer!" Myla said.

"Natasha is very talented in painting." Mikayla had to admit that when one door closed for Natasha, another

opened for her at the stime. Although Natasha had congenital heart disease and becdisabled, she was

incredibly good at painting, as well as acting.

"Yes! Ms. Ludwig began to learn painting when she was four. She also loved dancing at that time, but

unfortunately..." Myla began to reminisce.

Mikayla had no tto listen to Myla talk about the past. Rolling up the painting, she said goodbye to Myla and

left the somber room. Then, Mikayla returned to her room. With her memory, she found paper and pen in the

room. She began to draw the incident's location, the pool, and her room. 'Natasha is disabled so she can't

possibly do it herself. She likely asked another person in the mansion to help her. Except for Myla, who's the

closest to her? Who else could it be? If Natasha is smart enough to exploit the broken

surveillance camera outside Carlos' room, she will choose a path to the pool without being seen. There has to be

a surveillance camera at the gate and main entrance of the Ludwig mansion. Surely, other places can lead to

this pool!" she pondered.

After finding the crucial points for

these two days, Mikayla left Carlos’

room again. She first walked around the ground floor of the mansion twice. The camera's location was quite

obvious. Then, she walked around twice and pinpointed a

housekeeper's room. Mikayla dide

go in directly. Instead, she went to the security guard and took a few 20-dollar bills from her small bag. She

introduced herself as "Mrs. Ludwig" and told him secretly that she wanted to know how many paths there were

from the mansion to the pool, and whether there was any blind spot for the surveillance camera.

The security guard didn't know what happened in the mansion. After learning Mikayla's identity, he accepted the

monetary gift and told her the truth.

It was just as Mikayla had guessed. There were two doors in the housekeeper's room. It was said that they were

specially prepared for the landscaping expert of the mansion, so it was convenient to enter and exit. Later, this

room was vacated when they ran out of rooms for the housekeepers.

The next problem was much easier to solve. Mikayla entered the mansion and asked a housekeeper, "Who lives

in the innermost room?"

The housekeeper glanced at Mikayla. Perhaps it was because of what Mikayla had said to them, so she replied

angrily, "It's Libby Newman. She resigned today. | guess she's packing now!" Before Mikayla could take a few

steps, she heard murmurs behind her.

"She's here to get even with Libby!"

"Exactly! It turns out that beautiful women are heartless."

"Poor Libby. She has a young brother at home. She finally found a decent job, but was forced to resign."

Mikayla ignored the gossip and mused, 'The truth will eventually cto light. It's pointless to argue with them."

She vaguely heard a woman crying inside when she got close to the room.
