Chapter 604

since Elspeth was sentenced to death, Glynnis had been publicly humiliated by Frederic in the

courthouse halls. She felt that her already tenuous standing at home had evaporated, and the last

vestiges of her father’s childhood affection shattered.

She had always relied on Elspeth, living like a parasite fattened on the family’s wealth, treating money

as if it were mere paper. But now, with Elspeth’s assets seized and her own private stash tied up in

Elspeth’s accounts, Glynnis had plummeted from the high life back to square one

Apart from the two properties and the pair of luxury cars her f

father had given her, plus the three hundred thousand dollars in her personal account, she was

After two days of agonizing it struck her that Elspeth’s bedroom safe was still untouched

The few pieces of jade that were Elspethis ‘precious ointments must still be there, untouched by the

Glynnis dashed frantically towards Elspethi’s bedroom, her eyes bloodshot as she zeroed in on the

bedside safe.

combination lock

After dozens of attempts that left her fingertips numb, she had exhausted every number linked to the

Abernathy lineage and Elspeth herself, yet the safe remained sealed

men were now present–Thaddeus and Jareth!

“How did you get in here?” Glynnis stammered, stepping back in shock.

Once the sight of Jareth would send her into ecstatic fits. Now only terror gripped her.

Thaddeus sat on the sofa, his handsome features impassive, barely glancing at Glynnis

Tm here to fetch something for my wife.”

Jareth leaned casually against the desk, his eyes teasing as he tapped the safe, “Marilla’s belongings

are right here in this safe

Glynnis’s pupils constricted, her voice sharp, “What nonsense are you spewing? There’s nothing of

Jareth’s eyebrow quirked up, defiantly knocking on the safe thrice–bang, bang bang!

Stop, stop knocking Glynnis jumped anxiously, fearing the jade inside would shatter.

Thaddeus glanced at Jareth, his face a picture of speechlessness.

“This is my house! This room belonged to my mother and the contents of that safe are my inheritance!

You won’t take them from mer Glynnes’s eyes blazed as she screamed in fury

The next moment, Jareth punched in a four–digit code, and with a click, the safe swung open

Thaddeus’s lips parted slightly. “Quite the stash. Need help packing it up?”

“No need, I’ve come prepared.

With that, Jareth pulled out a bag from his pocket, scooped up the priceless jade artifacts, and stored

them away

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow

Quite the scene–it was like a raid!

After the men had left, Glynnis stood frozen, hammer in hand, staring at the empty safe, her head

pounding as if it’d been struck

Only after a while did she burst into tears, her cries echoing through the room

Then her phone rang

Wiping her teary, snot–streaked face, she squinted at the screen through swollen eyes. A long–

forgotten name flashed before her

Her heart clenched as she hit the answer button, cautiously bringing the phone to her ear
