342 It Was Thrilling
âBut that is a safe box. How do you open it without the password?â
Isabella smiled slyly. âMy 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.â
Cedricâs eyes flickered. âDid Carl hit you often?â
Isabella was stunned. âIn short, just buy me half an hour, and Iâll go get the things back.â
Cedric thought for a moment. âAlright, Iâll let Peter...â
âNo, no, no.â
Isabella shook her head, âThe 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 wonât be any danger.â
Cedric nodded. âYou must be careful. Donât push yourself.â
âI know!â Isabella laughed heartily. âAs long as thereâs hope, I wonât quit! Iâll be careful!â
.....
Cedric was silent for a while. âGo ahead and leave the matter of handling Carl to me.â
âGot it!â
After Cedric left, Isabella found Rosa.
In the bathroom, Rosa listened to Isabellaâs problem and said in horror, âWhy do you want the password to his safe?â
âYou know it, right?â
âI want to take a look at something very important!â Isabella said happily.
Rosa thought for a moment and shook her head. âI donât.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMom, your expression tells me otherwise.â
âI know!â Rosa suddenly became emotional. âBut I canât tell you no matter how important those things can be. Itâs too dangerous. I wonât allow you to go there!â
âMom!â
âIf I donât get to the bottom of this, I canât live in peace for the rest of my life. You have to help me!â Isabella said emotionally.
Rosa was silent. âIsabella, tell me, what are you looking for?â
Isabella looked at Rosaâs beautiful but cautious appearance, thought for a moment, and finally decided to be honest. âI want to find evidence that Carl killed my father!â
...
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 Rosaâs instructions, used the key to open the door, and went to the second floor. He quickly found Carlâs room and entered it.
Everything went as smoothly as imagined. Isabella locked the door and found the safe in the cabinet by the bed.
â417326.â
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.
âItâs impossible...â
Isabella shook her head. âMy memories canât be wrong. Why canât I open it...â
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Isabella fell to the ground in fear.
âIsabella, itâs me.â
Isabella was stunned. âLukas?â
âOpen the door.â Sure enough, it was Lukas. He urged, âI know what you are doing. Let me in before itâs too late.â
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. âLukas, you...â
âHurry up and take and see what you want.â
âI canât leave for too long, or I will be discovered by the Smiths,â 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 Isabellaâs 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, Rosyâs voice came from not far away. âLukas! Lukas! Where have you been?â
Isabellaâs 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.
âLukas, why are you here?â
âDo you know how flustered I was when I couldnât see you?â Rosy asked curiously.
âWhat are you panicking for?â
âI just came to get a lighter. What, didnât mother tell you? I asked her to do that,â Lukas said gently.
Rosy frowned in disdain. âWill she tell me? She canât wait for me to worry about you!â
âDarling, I vomited again just now. I felt so sick.â Rosy then coquettishly wrapped her arms around Lukasâs neck.
âTake less oily food.â Lukas hugged Rosy and kissed her pouted lips.
âMaybe itâs because I have a baby.â Rosy said gently, âIâm always a little scared.â
âWhat are you afraid of?â
âI was afraid that you would leave me and the baby.â
âYou fool.â
Lukas glanced at the sculpture and hugged Rosy. âNo matter what, letâs go back. Both of us are hiding behind our wedding banquet. It doesnât make sense.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to you.â
The two turned around and Isabella flashed into the bushes beside her.
âRosy! Lukas! Did you see Isabella?â Carlâs roar suddenly sounded, accompanied by Rosaâs mournful cry.
Isabella frowned.
âIsabella?â Rosy said. âNo, only Lukas and I were here.â
âThe housekeeper called me. Isabella barged into my room without telling me! If I find her, Iâll skin her alive!â Carl shouted.
Isabella was frightened and quickly slipped away along the bushes.
Carl heard the voice and immediately shouted, âSomeoneâs over there! Stop!â
âDad!â
Lukasâs voice was a little low, and he suddenly stood in front of Carl. âToday is a red letter day Rosy and me. Why do you have to make such a big fuss over someone barging into your room?â
