Half a month had passed since thepetition in the North District. Jasper had to go out for a few days, and Tina began to take action. She calcted the timing and nned to sneak into Jasper’s study in the middle of the night when everyone in the Reed family was asleep, to open the safe and see what was inside. However, just as she was about to act, Juliet came running to her room to invite her to watch a show.


    “Tina!” Juliet was very enthusiastic, pulling her towards the home theater, saying she wanted to share a new show she was following. “I tell you, this show is amazing! The male and female leads are a perfect match!”


    Tina thought, “…”


    Could she say she didn’t like watching shows? Juliet didn’t notice her less-than-enthusiastic expression and dragged Tina to the theater anyway. Once Juliet started watching, she couldn’t stop, constantly discussing the plot with Tina without showing any signs of sleepiness.


    “Tina, look! Isn’t the male lead especially handsome from this angle?”


    Tina nced up briefly, uninterested. Handsome? Compared to their Uncle Wolf, he waspletely ordinary. She propped her chin on her hand as she watched the cliched drama on screen, suddenly missing Jared, who she didn’t know what he was busy with. Recently, they rarely saw each other, maybe once every ten days or so. She had gotten used to having Jared around; once someone gets used to something, it’s hard to change.


    They watched untilte at night, and it wasn’t until three in the morning that Juliet finally felt sleepy. Rubbing her eyes, she said, “I’m so tired, Tina. Let’s stop here for today.”


    “Alright.” Tina got up to return to her room. Juliet waved at her and yawned as she walked back to her own room.


    Tina first disabled the surveince in the study and then skillfully found the safe. The safe was still in its original position with no signs of being moved; it seemed Jasper hadn’t noticed anyone tampering with it. Tina carefully observed it for a moment, took tweezers from her toolkit, and prepared to start working when she heard a faint noise outside.


    Someone was there?!


    She immediately tensed up, clutching her toolkit tightly as she crouched beside Jasper’s desk, listening intently to every movement outside. The footsteps slowly approached the study door and paused for a moment before opening it.


    Tina held her breath,pletely concealing her presence.


    “Why isn’t it here?” It was a familiar female voice. Tina looked up and frowned immediately.


    Liliosa? What was she doing here? Liliosa usually didn’t live at Whispering Pines and had been kicked out by the old manst time for making a scene; she wasn’t allowed back in. Yet here she was sneaking into Jasper’s study in the middle of the night.


    Tina narrowed her eyes as Liliosa approached her hiding spot under the desk. Tina took out a marble from her pocket and urately rolled it towards the door. The marble quickly rolled across the floor and hit a vase stand in the hallway with a crisp sound.


    “Ah!” Liliosa screamed in fright but quickly covered her mouth tightly, looking around in panic. Seeing no one around but feeling extremely guilty and scared, she decided to flee.


    Once Liliosa left, Tina reopened her toolkit and took out tweezers again to start working on the safe. Jasper’s safe was made of special material with threeyers of protection, each ensuring that its contents were securely preserved. She switched tools continuously and within three minutes had turned the handle.


    The safe made a clicking sound as it opened. Inside were a ring and a thick notebook. Tina took out the notebook and flipped through it briefly; her eyes narrowed-it was filled with love letters Jasper had written to his mother.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    “Natalie, where have you gone? I think of you constantly; if you were here now, we might be watching snow on a mountain peak.”


    “The weather today is beautiful, just like when we first met. I wonder if you remember; for me, it’s an unforgettable precious memory.”


    “You are my one true love; I can never love anyone else.”


    Tina flipped through several pages without any expression on her delicate face. She picked up the ring from the safe and stared at it for a long time before curling her lips into a mocking smile.


    Ha! She had underestimated Jasper after all. Did he think that preparing these items would make her believe him? Her expression gradually turned cold as she put everything back in ce without erasing her fingerprints. Since Jasper had already noticed her presence and deliberately prepared these items for her to see, erasing traces would be redundant.


    The next day after breakfast at Reed family’s house when everyone else had gone off to their tasks leaving only Tina at home Willow arrived again.


    Last time being scolded at Reed family didn’t make Willow give up; instead it made her more determined than ever to change Muff’s and Jasper’s minds.


    “Tina luckily you’re here.” Willow entered carrying bags walking towards Tina sitting in living room sitting next to her warmly “I came specifically this time to apologizest time Lily said unpleasant things upset you I talked with her about it.”


    “Actually these are trivial matters everyone has some friction it’s normal exining clears things up.”


    Willow sat beside talking nonstop while Tina found it noisy amusing how Willow’s intentions were obvious alwaysing when Jasper wasn’t home trying hard winning over daughter first?


    Ha! ying with phone not even looking up not bothering responding once


    “Tina?” Seeing no response Willow awkwardly adjusted hair smile stiffening face


    “I brought gifttest fashion item not yet released designed by Michelle!” proudly taking coat out bag


    Spent big money pulled many strings getting this just please Tina though costly thinking bing Reed family matriarch made expense worth enduring


    Only enduring seeds pleasing Tina makes efforts more effective


    “Oh Michelle’s design?” Juliet leisurely descended stairs
