Chapter 729
After a few bites, Isabel said she was full. Then, she jumped down from her chair and ran back to her
room.
Seeing that Isabel had left, Liam excused himself as well.
Odell immediately lost his appetite. After a brief silence, he stood up and went to their bedroom.
The door had been left ajar.
He stood in front of the door and saw Isabel’s busy little figure through the gap in the door.
She opened the safe that she and Liam had hid under the bed. Then, she rummaged through the
things inside before running to the other side of the room to take out a small box that she had hidden.
Something was clattering inside the box. It was like the sound of jewelry clashing. Then, she placed the
box inside the safe.
Liam stood at the side and watched her. He asked in confusion, “Sister, why are you organizing all
this?”
Isabel planted her little butt on the floor as she continued stuffing things into the safe, and replied, “I’m
preparing for our future.”
Liam was even more confused. “What preparations?”
“Baddie is marrying a stepmother. He will become like our stepfather in time! He will only care about
the stepmother and the child she has in the future. We have to prepare a way out early.” Liam was
speechless. Outside the door, Odell was lost for words as well.
After a few seconds, Liam said, “Daddy said they would only get engaged. He will not marry her.”
Isabel huffed, “Two days ago, he still told us that he had nothing to do with that woman!”
Liam’s mouth tightened into a thin line
Isabel hummed and quickly stuffed everything from the box inside the safe. Then, she pushed the safe
deep under her bed.
After hiding the safe, she climbed out beneath the bed and said to Liam, “Brother, we need to take the
opportunity of the time when Baddie hasn’t married that woman to get more stuff from him!”
Liam pursed his lips and said nothing.
Isabel pouted as she racked her brains for ideas. She said, “In the dramas, everyone goes for the stock
in an inheritance fight. Brother, why don’t we steal Baddie’s stocks?”
Her big eyes stared at Liam mischievously.
Liam hesitated and said, “I don’t think that’s easy to
steal.”
“He must have put them in his safe. Let’s get it when he’s not paying attention.”
Liam agreed after a pause.
Outside the door, Odell was rendered speechless.
At this moment, he did not know whether to feel helpless or to laugh at how “meticulous” this little girl
was.
Stealing his stocks from his safe? Only Isabel could have thought of this.
He turned around without making a sound and went back to his room.
Odell had saved most of his assets in the bank, and his safe only contained some valuable collectibles.
After thinking for a while, he took a piece of paper and wrote the word “stock” on it. Then, he used the
paper to wrap up some valuable gemstones and put them at the lowest level of the safe.
As for the real stocks, he could only give them to the kids after they became adults.
A month later, the temperature in Westchester City dropped.
It was a beautiful day and also the day of Odell and Lily’s engagement ceremony.
Perhaps it was to celebrate their engagement, but the day soon darkened and snow began to fall from
the sky.
Soon, the ground was covered by a layer of snow.
Their engagement ceremony was held at the Westchester Hotel. Before it was time for the ceremony to
start, the parking space outside the hotel was already full of cars.
At the same time, at the airport, a plane that had departed from Galston had just landed.
The hatch opened, and the passengers walked off the plane.
The flight attendant gently reminded the passengers that it was snowing outside and that everyone
should be careful as they walked.
After everyone had gone out, a woman wearing a hat, a mask, and a long, loose black dress that
covered her whole body slowly walked out,
