Chapter 39

This time, it was for clothes. I picked out about five sets of pajamas and some changes of clothes. Then, I started to swoop up the well-made haute couture pieces. While doing so, I was grateful for my good taste. My keen eyes had spotted so many garments that were the works of masterful couturiers. Those clothes were bought for their appreciation in value over time. There were also some collaborative pieces, as well as clothes from seasonal collections that were no longer available. The last items I wanted to take were the bags. Without even looking at the lower shelves, I swept up the Hermes crocodile leather bags on the top shelf. I felt satisfied. After these things were sold, they could provide me with a decent living for a very long time. However, absorbed in looting, I didn't notice how much time had passed. On my sixth trip back to the villa, as I was busy packing up, I heard the sound of a car outside. I froze. Was Elijah back? Quietly, I peeked through a window.
