Chapter 33


    Once Shaun sent the photo to Wanda, he decided to watch over the safe all day in hopes that she


    might surprise him.


    If Wanda could crack the safe''s code, then he could kick Avery out of the picture without giving her a


    penny. 5


    Wanda called about half an hourter and said, "I can''t think of anything else other than the


    is the one on her ID. That''s not her real birthdate. Let''s try again with the real one."


    "Alright!" Shaun responded enthusiastically.


    Two hourster, they had finally managed to get the safe door open.


    Wanda was right. Jack had used Laura''s real date of birth and not the one stated on her ID.


    Jack had used abination of Laura''s and Avery''s birthdates as the safe''s passcode. 2


    The correct passcode and the family portrait in the secret chamberplimented each other.


    It was Jack''s homage to Laura and Avery.


    Wanda was on a video call with Shaun, and she burst into a raging fury when the safe opened.


    "That b*st*rd! After all the years we''ve been together, he went and set such an important code to


    Laura''s and Avery''s birthdates! Sh*t! He would get an earful from me if he were still alive!"


    When Shaun opened the safe, his muscles tightened in excitement, and his eyes sparkled with


    anticipation.


    He did not hear Wanda''s cussing at all.


    There were two security levels to the safe. 1


    The first was the passcode, and the second needed either a key or facial recognition. 2


    The key was inside the secret chamber itself, and both Shaun and the other two technical staff knew of


    its location.


    Shaun turned the key in the safe''s lock and carefully opened the door.


    He was met with apletely empty safe.


    There was nothing in the safe! 2


    Shaun''s face was a picture of horror and fury.


    "F*ck! Where the hell is it?!" 1


    He violentlynded his fist on top of the safe as his eyes reddened with anger.


    "It must have been Avery!" Wanda cried from the other side of the phone. "Who else could it be but


    her? She gave you that piece of paper on purpose! She must have used her mother''s correct birthdate


    to open the safe before this!" 2 "Did she n to take everything for herself?" Shaun said through gritted


    teeth.


    "D*mn it! I didn''t expect her to be this ambitious! You can''t let her get away with this, Mr. Locklyn!" 1


    Wanda would love nothing more but for Shaun and Avery to go against each other.


    All she had to do was sit back and watch the show.


    Shaun ended the video call.


    Avery was bad news, but so was Wanda! 1


    He would not have wasted any of his time on them if it did not yield any profit. 1


    He kicked the safe door shut, then thought carefully about when the contents were taken away. 2


    Whether Jack had moved it before his death, or someone had taken it after he died, Avery Tate was


    still the biggest suspect.


    Did she want to take everything for herself? 3


    Did she think she could get away with it that easily?!
