Clara smiled awkwardly, “I’m just a girl, grandpa. I’m not really confident to deliver your hope.”
Old Mr. Henderson hurriedly replied, “Stop being so foolish. A girl can also make this family stronger. Look at those four sisters of the Haverfords. They are managing the family well. Conversely, Kyle is the shameful one in that family.”
Clara didn’t comment on Kyle.
She really didn’t like Kyle before and thought that how can the Haverfords raise him to be so shameless.
But now, she was in no place to judge other families’ businesses.
The Hendersons always deemed that they had great family education, but Jakub committed suicide because of that.
Old Mr. Henderson then soothed Clara, “Don’t think too much, Clara. Take care of yourself. I will tell you what to do next. Rest assured, everything you want would be yours in the end.”
Clara didn’t say anything and she actually thought that old Mr. Henderson was in much worse shape than elder Mr. Henderson.
The latter was physically ill and the former was mentally sick.
Old Mr. Henderson stood for a while and then asked the maid over.
Clara hurriedly said to the maid, “Hold my grandpa to take a walk outside. It’s a great day. Have some exercises.”
Old Mr. Henderson thought for a while and agreed and then went to the back garden.
After they left, Clara turned around and then went upstairs and tried to open her grandpa’s wardrobe again.
She tried three times last time and all failed, but she wanted to try more.
Clara thought all the combinations in her head and then attempted the first set of passwords.
She failed the first time and was slightly annoyed.
She didn’t dare to try three times today for the siren was really loud.
She thought for a while and tried the second set of passwords.
The safe suddenly opened after she inputted the number.
It took Clara a long time to come to herself.
She waited for a while and then opened the safe which was housing a lot of files.
Clara was taken aback.
She took out her phone and took photos of several papers.
She didn’t get the time to read what the paper was about, but she took as many pictures as possible and put the papers back in the original order.
Though old Mr. Henderson was pretty old now, he was meticulous.
If she didn’t put the things back in the exact order, he would know something was wrong immediately.
Clara finally organized the wardrobe and then left the room after taking some deep breathes.
She hurriedly went back to her room and started examining those papers after locking the door.
From the surface of it, these papers recorded some accounts, but it obviously wasn’t made by professionals and looked like it was done by internal staff. What’s more, these accounts looked abnormal as the numbers were too large.
There were also some sale details included.
Clara can’t really tell what the sale was about.
She felt that the items sold were replaced with codes.
These papers looked really odd.
Clara thought for a while and then texted Marshall as she can’t really think of anyone to turn to.
Marshall didn’t really immediately text her back as he was probably busy.
Clara hesitated for a while and then went to her father’s room.
