342 It Was Thrilling
“But that is a safe box. How do you open it without the password?”
Isabella smiled slyly. “My mother must know the password, but please help me deal with Carl. Otherwise, if he finds out that I want to steal the photo, I will probably be beaten up.”
Cedric’s eyes flickered. “Did Carl hit you often?”
Isabella was stunned. “In short, just buy me half an hour, and I’ll go get the things back.”
Cedric thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll let Peter...”
“No, no, no.”
Isabella shook her head, “The Lake Center Mansion has been reserved by the Smiths today. It will be strange if an outsider goes over. I can do it myself. There won’t be any danger.”
Cedric nodded. “You must be careful. Don’t push yourself.”
“I know!” Isabella laughed heartily. “As long as there’s hope, I won’t quit! I’ll be careful!”
.....
Cedric was silent for a while. “Go ahead and leave the matter of handling Carl to me.”
“Got it!”
After Cedric left, Isabella found Rosa.
In the bathroom, Rosa listened to Isabella’s problem and said in horror, “Why do you want the password to his safe?”
“You know it, right?”
“I want to take a look at something very important!” Isabella said happily.
Rosa thought for a moment and shook her head. “I don’t.”
“Mom, your expression tells me otherwise.”
“I know!” Rosa suddenly became emotional. “But I can’t tell you no matter how important those things can be. It’s too dangerous. I won’t allow you to go there!”
“Mom!”
“If I don’t get to the bottom of this, I can’t live in peace for the rest of my life. You have to help me!” Isabella said emotionally.
Rosa was silent. “Isabella, tell me, what are you looking for?”
Isabella looked at Rosa’s beautiful but cautious appearance, thought for a moment, and finally decided to be honest. “I want to find evidence that Carl killed my father!”
...
A few minutes later, Isabella sorted out her emotions and walked out of the bathroom. He winked at Cedric from afar, and Cedric immediately understood and walked toward Carl.
Isabella arrived at the Lake Center Mansion.
Isabella followed Rosa’s instructions, used the key to open the door, and went to the second floor. He quickly found Carl’s room and entered it.
Everything went as smoothly as imagined. Isabella locked the door and found the safe in the cabinet by the bed.
“417326.”
Isabella recalled the password and pressed the button, but the safe made a beeping sound, indicating that the password was incorrect.
Isabella was at a loss. She let out a sigh of relief and slowed down to calm herself down. She re-entered the password.
It was still incorrect.
“It’s impossible...”
Isabella shook her head. “My memories can’t be wrong. Why can’t I open it...”
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Isabella fell to the ground in fear.
“Isabella, it’s me.”
Isabella was stunned. “Lukas?”
“Open the door.” Sure enough, it was Lukas. He urged, “I know what you are doing. Let me in before it’s too late.”
Isabella quickly got up and opened the door.
Lukas walked to the safe and entered the passwords. The safe was opened.
Isabella looked at Lukas in shock. “Lukas, you...”
“Hurry up and take and see what you want.”
“I can’t leave for too long, or I will be discovered by the Smiths,” said Lukas.
Isabella knew that this was not the time to ask questions and chat. She quickly found the photos of Carl when he won the award from the documents in the safe. As expected, in the trophy photo of the Golden Pencil Awards, he was holding a design draft in his other hand.
Isabella immediately took the photo as clearly as possible from different angles and then stuffed the documents back into the safe as they were.
Lukas watched Isabella’s action. His eyes were deep, but he did not say anything. The two finished taking photos and immediately went out.
Just as they crossed the bridge in the middle of the lake, Rosy’s voice came from not far away. “Lukas! Lukas! Where have you been?”
Isabella’s legs went soft. She instinctively felt fear. The environment here was empty, and there was no shelter around. Not to mention that Rosy had found out that Isabella had stolen the photos, she would probably make a scene if saw that Isabella was with Lukas.
Seeing that Rosy was about to come over, Lukas was calm. He pushed Isabella to the statue next to him and walked straight to Rosy.
Although the height of the sculpture was about the same as that of a normal person, Isabella immediately understood and stood behind it. She put up the same pose as the sculpture to cover herself. She did not even dare to breathe.
Rosy turned the corner and Lukas went up to her.
“Lukas, why are you here?”
“Do you know how flustered I was when I couldn’t see you?” Rosy asked curiously.
“What are you panicking for?”
“I just came to get a lighter. What, didn’t mother tell you? I asked her to do that,” Lukas said gently.
Rosy frowned in disdain. “Will she tell me? She can’t wait for me to worry about you!”
“Darling, I vomited again just now. I felt so sick.” Rosy then coquettishly wrapped her arms around Lukas’s neck.
“Take less oily food.” Lukas hugged Rosy and kissed her pouted lips.
“Maybe it’s because I have a baby.” Rosy said gently, “I’m always a little scared.”
“What are you afraid of?”
“I was afraid that you would leave me and the baby.”
“You fool.”
Lukas glanced at the sculpture and hugged Rosy. “No matter what, let’s go back. Both of us are hiding behind our wedding banquet. It doesn’t make sense.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
The two turned around and Isabella flashed into the bushes beside her.
“Rosy! Lukas! Did you see Isabella?” Carl’s roar suddenly sounded, accompanied by Rosa’s mournful cry.
Isabella frowned.
“Isabella?” Rosy said. “No, only Lukas and I were here.”
“The housekeeper called me. Isabella barged into my room without telling me! If I find her, I’ll skin her alive!” Carl shouted.
Isabella was frightened and quickly slipped away along the bushes.
Carl heard the voice and immediately shouted, “Someone’s over there! Stop!”
“Dad!”
Lukas’s voice was a little low, and he suddenly stood in front of Carl. “Today is a red letter day Rosy and me. Why do you have to make such a big fuss over someone barging into your room?”
