Chapter 1024 The Antiques Are In Her Safe
Bianca touched Rainie's head and did not answer her question. Instead, she asked, "Rainie, do youwant to go to class later?"
Rainie and Lanie had extracurricular classes planned for the day, but to make Allison happy, Biancatook a leave of absence for them and brought them to Allison's place instead.
However, Allison was pulling a long face and was not welcoming, so she planned to leave after Luketook the box.
Rainie did not think too much about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, Mommy." "I'm going too," Blanchesaid. If it were not for his mother's request, he would already be in his extracurricular class.
Elsa brought out a pot of tea and walked to the living room. She saw Bianca still standing there andgreeted her, "Madam, take a seat and have a cup of tea."
Bianca shook her head and replied, "No, we’re leaving soon."
When Bianca said that, Elsa glanced at the children with a smile while saying, "Okay, I'll go back to thekitchen first. If there’s anything you need, let me know."
Bianca nodded and watched her walk away with coquetry. She wondered in her heart whether Elsawas really a caretaker.
Upstairs.
Luke's legs were longer than Allison's, so he quickly arrived at the second floor. He had not been herebefore and tried to open the doors of each room.
He saw Allison's bedroom, the guest room, and her vanity room. Even though he opened the doors, hedid not go in. He was just looking for the study.
Finally, in the penultimate room at the end of the corridor, he stopped and twisted the doorknob. Hefound that the door of this room was locked.
Allison arrived angrily and looked at him with her hands on her waist." Luke, what are you doing? Thisis not the Crawford Manor nor your home!"
Luke looked at her with a chilly expression and said, "This is the study, right?"
He was familiar with the layout of a mansion like this. The last room would usually be a commonbathroom. Allison’s mansion had only two floors, and none of the rooms he visited earlier were thestudy. Hence, he was sure this was the study.
Allison bit her red lip, her expression a little contorted.
"Mother, why did you lock the study? Is there something important inside?" Luke asked. Of all therooms in her mansion, this was the only room that was locked. It was indeed unusual.
"What do you think can be inside? I want to have collectibles too, but unfortunately, you’re an unfilialson. Even if I want to collect something, I don't have the money for it," Allison said with a stubbornexpression, her tone filled with complaints about being wronged.
"I want to take my father's box." Luke stood aside and waited for her to open the door.
Allison did not move as if she had not heard what he said.
Luke raised his eyebrows, put his big palm on the doorknob, and twisted hard.
The doorknob made a 'click' sound.
Allison was startled. Luke wanted to use brute force and break the door lock. Passive resistance wasuseless, so she slapped his hand and said," Don't break my lock."
With that, she took a key from her pocket and opened the door to the study.
There was only one key for this door, and she kept it on her to prevent Elsa and Elsie from entering thestudy. If Luke broke the lock and she could not lock the door after, it would cause even more trouble forher.
Although no one knew that there were antiques worth hundreds of millions of dollars hidden in the safeinside the study, Allison was still cautious.
These antiques were valuable. They were her lifeline!
Allison walked in, took out a box from the drawer of the desk, and handed it to Luke. "This is the boxyour dad left you. I haven't touched the contents inside. Take it and leave quickly."
She expressed her hostility.
Luke picked up the sandalwood box and glanced at the study. The bookshelves were full of books, butthey were all bought by Allison for appearance's sake. The books were all brand new as though theyhad never been flipped through.
Apart from that, there were no other luxurious furnishings. He glanced at the huge safe in the cornerand then walked out of the study.
Allison walked out and locked the door of the study.novelbin
Luke glanced back.
She was frightened by his gaze and put the key back in her pocket. She asked, "What are you lookingat?" "Your safe is a new product that was developed earlier this year. It’s imported from Germany."Luke finished speaking and turned around to leave.
Allison was stunned.
The safe in the study was one of the most advanced in the world. Without a password, there was noother way to open it except with explosives.
In addition, there were infrared detectors and alarms on the four corners of the safe. If someonetouched it and did not enter the password within five seconds, the alarm would sound. If the correctpassword was not keyed in within five minutes, the alarm would automatically make a report to thenearest police station.
Under normal circumstances, such advanced products were not used in homes.
Allison felt dizzy as she watched Luke leave. She did not go downstairs but returned to her bedroomwhile rubbing her forehead.
She thought that having a kid meant her future would be secured, but she failed to raise a son whocould provide for her. Not only did she have to earn her own money but she also had to be alert aroundhim.
Allison had a splitting headache and lay on the bed.
Luke went downstairs, walked to Bianca's side, and said, "Let's go." "Okay." Bianca nodded. Looking atthe sandalwood box in his hand, she wondered why he had not mentioned this box when he had beenback a long time ago.
It seemed to her that the box was just an excuse for him to come here.
After Luke drove Blanche and Rainie to their extracurricular classes, he drove back.
Tommy murmured that he was sleepy. Bianca sat in the backseat, placed Tommy in her arms, and lethim fall asleep in her embrace.
After the car drove for a while, Luke broke the silence. "There's an imported safe in her study. It wasjust launched earlier this year."
Someone from a security company had recommended it to him before, but Luke did not have much ofan interest in collecting precious goods, so he did not buy it. However, he was well aware of what thissafe could do.
Bianca paused and expressed her suspicion, "Are you saying that the antiques are in her safe?""Perhaps." Luke had his doubts even before Gordan came.
However, no matter what, Allison was a member of the Crawford family.
Although he was suspicious, he did not launch an investigation into it.
Later, he got Gordan to change the direction of the investigation. The more he investigated, the morehe believed that Allison was involved in the break -in.
Before and after the incident, she had appeared on the first floor of Crawford Mansion. They hadlooked into her bank's records and found that she withdrew a large sum of money from the bank afterthe break-in. She still owed money for her credit cards.
Gordan was trying to get access to Allison's dashcam but she had not left her residence for a few days,so he was waiting for the perfect timing to make a move.
Tommy was in a sleepy daze. He opened his eyes and looked at Bianca." Mommy, what antiques areyou talking about?"
Bianca touched his head and whispered, "It's nothing, Tommy. Go back to sleep."
Tommy pursued his mouth and closed his eyes.
The atmosphere in the car was slightly intense. Luke drove Bianca and Tommy home, saying, "I'mgoing to the office." "Okay." Bianca got out of the car with Tommy and wanted to ask Luke what he wasgoing to do if the person behind the break-in was really Allison.
In the end, she did not ask because she knew the answer.
Luke was always fair and just.
