Chapter 742
Meanwhile, in Sylvia’s living room.
After Isabel and Liam hopped out of the car, they carried a small safe out of the car.
Sylvia was hiding behind a couch. Her body was tensing all over as she stared agitatedly at the two of
them working with the safe.
She watched as they carried a trolley out of the car.
It took a lot of effort for them to lug the safe onto the trolley. After that, they pushed the trolley up the
stairs.
She held her breath and tailed after them.
The two of them reached her room and went inside. She peeked through the crack underneath the
door and saw them hiding the safe under the bed.
Isabel had to crawl under the bed to stash the safe before crawling out again. She immediately asked
Liam upon emerging from under the bed, “Are you sure nobody will find the safe if we hide it here?”
Liam was cautiously surveying the room and answered her distractedly, “Probably not.”
Isabel pouted. “That’s true, this is Mommy’s house after all. Even if stepmom takes over the house in
the future,
she won’t get a say over what happens to Mommy’s room and probably won’t take away our stash.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiam made no further response. He was quietly staring at the speckless floor. His pearl – like eyes
seemed to gleam amid the darkness.
Outside the door, a shadow cast over Sylvia’s expression. She was thinking about Lily who had just
gotten engaged to Odell. Lily was the poster child of the Springsteen family and was destined to inherit
the family’s assets. She was a perfect match for Odell in terms of her social status.
They would get married very soon, then she would become the madam of the Carter family and take
charge of all the affairs going on in the Carter household.
She was not expecting Isabel to have planned so far ahead and begin making preparations for her
future with her brother.
She was impressed by their wisdom at such a young age but at the same time, a somber and heavy
feeling consumed her.
If she had not let herself become deceived by Thomas half a year ago, would Odell and Lily still have
gotten engaged?
There was no such thing as “what if” in the world.
Suddenly, she heard Isabel chirping from inside the room again. “I think I smell Mommy.”

She sniffed at the air like a puppy as she said this.
Sylvia’s expressions contorted and she quickly drew backward.
Inside the room, Liam began surveying the room attentively again and was inspecting the bed this time.
The quilt on the bed was neatly arranged. It seemed like an entirely different set of bedsheets
compared to the last time he came here with his sister.
The house should have been vacant for the last six months. Why was the room so clean?
While he was still puzzled over these facts, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps going from
outside.
“Someone’s here,” Isabel noted warily. Liam took her hand and walked out of the room with her.
The moment they stepped out of the room, they saw Sebastian and Ben running toward them.
Liam seemed completely unfazed.
Isabel asked intriguingly, “Uncle Sebastian, Ben, why are you two here?”
Sebastian observed their expression and interrogated,” Young Miss, I thought you two were just going
for a short drive. Why are you two here?” Isabel explained calmly, “I wanted to find a toy I left here

so I brought my brother here.”
Something in Sebastian’s eyes shifted. “Did you two see anything strange?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“See what? We didn’t see anything strange,” Isabel answered cooly and confidently. It was clear that
they did not see Sylvia.
If they saw her, they would not be as calm as they were.
Sebastian let out a short sigh of relief when Liam suddenly raised a question, “Uncle Sebastian, is
there something we’re not supposed to find here?”
His black eyes seem to emit a strange glow within them.
Despite being only five-year-old, he had sharp senses that rivaled that of an adult’s.
Sebastian’s eyes gleamed as he quickly explained, “No, I was just asking.”
“Oh.” Liam made no more questions and led Isabel downstairs.
Sebastian and Ben hurriedly followed them.
After all of them had left, Sylvia emerged from around the corner.
She sighed exasperatedly and began grinning from ear to ear.
Even if she did not get to reunite with them, she got to

see them at the very least.
They had grown taller over the last half year but were still as adorable as the day they were born.
