Chapter 374
A light gray tarp was covering the safe. There were dishes on it, as Shelley used it as a dining table.
Shelley said, “Your mom gave it to me a month before she got into the accident. She said some critical
documents and ledgers for the company were stored inside. I was told to keep it safe no matter what and
not to disclose it to anyone. The things inside were vital to her; she would 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 tone when I mentioned your mother on every phone call and hung up before we could
even communicate. Hence, I did not bring it up again. If you hadn’t asked me about it, I would have
totally forgotten about this.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter 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 I 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 to find 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 of Keegan’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 were forcibly 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 a cutting machine?”
Keegan looked at her. “Where’ve you stolen this safe from?”
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 762 combinations. Every wrong password five times would have a

she could have taken half a year to get the correct password. Stella did not have the time for that. “I just
forgot it, okay?”
“Get a locksmith to open it.”
“I 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 washing up, 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.
