Chapter 374
Alight gray tarp was covering the safe. There were dishes on it, as Shelley used it as a dining table. Shelley said, “Your momgave it to me a month before she got into the accident. She said some critical documents and ledgers for the company werestored inside. | was told to keep it safe no matter what and not to disclose it to anyone. The things inside were vital to her; shewould find time and get them back. But she got into an accident before she could come and
retrieve it.
Shelley sighed, “I intended to send them to your father after something happened to your mother. Yet, he had a horrible tonewhen | mentioned your mother on every phone call and hung up before we could even communicate. Hence, | did not bring it upagain. If you hadn’t asked me about it, | would have totally forgotten about this.”
After Stella’s mother had an accident, Albert was focused on dealing with the company. He even wanted to give up a few times.Stella was not surprised that he was preoccupied during the phone calls. Stella stared at the safe momentarily before asking,“Did my mom say anything else when she handed this to you?”
“Not quite. She seemed to be in a hurry then and didn’t look very well either. It could be something important,” Shelley replied.It seemed like Shelley did not know anything else beyond that. Stella asked, “Can | take it?”“Why, of course. It was your mother’s. I'll find Cecilia to help load it in your car.”
After Stella left, she went to the bank and transferred five hundred thousand to the orphanage’s account. Keegan came home tofind Stella sitting in the living room with a safe in front of her. She held a power drill and was trying to drill the lock. The corner ofKeegan’s eyes twitched. “What on earth are you doing?”
Stella was frightened, so she turned off the electric drill and frowned. “Trying to open the safe.
Keegan threw his suit on the sofa and drank the water on the table. “Password safes usually have two locks. If the first one wereforcibly destroyed, it would automatically activate the second one. So you have to unlock the first lock to open the second lock.”
He implied that if the first lock was broken, this safe would never be opened. Stella narrowed her brow and asked, “What about acutting machine?”
Keegan looked at her. “Where’ve you stolen this safe from?”novelbin
The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched, “It’s mine, alright?”
“You don’t know your own password?”
Stella pursed her lips. She tried the birthdays of Rainee, Albert, her own, and even their anniversary, but none of them worked.She suspected that the password for the safe was the numbers on Rainee’s tapes. There are six numbers, which means 762combinations. Every wrong password five times would have a locking mechanism for 24 hours to try another passcode. If she
had been unlucky and tried individually, she could have taken half a year to get the correct password. Stella did not have thetime for that. “I just forgot it, okay?”
“Get a locksmith to open it.”
“| did. They said it’s difficult. There’s no way to open it.”
Keegan looked at her. “If they didn’t say it was hard, how would they get more money from you?”Stella...
What Keegan said made sense, so Stella decided to call the locksmith company again tomorrow. When Stella was done washingup, Keegan had already laid down on the bed. Stella sat in front of the vanity mirror, wearing a face mask and drying her hair.Stella was not a fan of makeup, but she loved taking care of herself.
