Edgar rose from his seat, exited his room, and made his way to the basement. The family’s valuables were secured in a safe down there.

After typing in the code, Edgar entered and located his own safe, unlocking it.

He rummaged through it and pulled out a box, opening it to take a peek inside. Nodding in satisfaction, he muttered, “This is perfect.”

Her gaze then fell on the box in Edgar’s hand.

“What’s that?” she asked, her tone dropping.
