Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 385

"Miss Harold, Mr. Finn, this way please." Smith gestured towards a row of cabinets and said respectfully.

Ruby nodded and exchanged a glance with Levi, walking through several rows of cabinets before finally stopping in front of one.

In this column, each cabinet was particularly large, as if it contained a lot of stuff.

"Miss Harold, this is the safe where your grandfather kept his things, and here is the key to the outside."

As he spoke, he handed Ruby a small key, which was very finely made.

Ruby took it and placed it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, "There is no key of this design on the market."

Smith smiled, "Yes, it was built by your grandfather himself, when his only request to store things with us was to have the keys and locks of the safe rebuilt to his specifications, which is unique to our bank."

Hearing these words, Ruby's eyes darted around and she probably had an idea in her mind.

Grandpa probably anticipated in advance that someone might sneak in.

Although RS Bank's security system was one of the best in the world, there were no absolutes.

So Grandpa did it for an extra layer of security.

Even if someone did, indeed, try to get in from the outside world by any means possible, it would still be quite difficult to open the only lock in the world that was different.

This safe could not be carried away, and those who break in did not have that much time to study it, even if they wanted to.

"Mr. Smith, thank you so much for keeping this key for my grandfather all these years."

The fact that he could hand over such an important key to Smith meant that Grandpa must have trusted him, so when Ruby looked at him again, there was more respect in her expression.

Smith waved his hand, "Miss Harold, I am honoured to have your grandfather's trust."

Seeing him treat her grandfather with such respect, Ruby raised her eyebrows and did not say anything else.

However, curiosity was aroused in her heart.

The fact that Grandpa had gone to great lengths to store something here, and had designed such a lock, meant that what was inside must be very important.

And Smith's attitude towards her grandfather, in turn, gave her the feeling that what was in it must be an item of great influence.

"Miss Harold, Mr. Finn, I will leave you alone, you are free to open this safe, if you want to take the things away, just find my office when you come out."

It was not good for him to stay where he was when it came to the removal of her personal belongings, so he said very tactfully and then left.

In the large space, only Ruby and Levi were left.

The two looked at each other, and Levi raised his eyebrows and said in a warm voice: "Are you ready to open the safe?"

Ruby did not look much nervous, and lightly hooked her lips: "Coming all the way here, isn't it just to get what's in the safe?"

Having said that, she squeezed the key in her hand and, without much hesitation, opened the first lock of the safe.

"It's true that Grandpa designed the lock himself, even with a key, it's still a bit of a challenge to open it."

The first time she opened it, she couldn't get it open, so she turned back and forth twice before the lock clicked.

Then she entered the code she had obtained from her grandmother's belongings into the combination lock inside and the second door finally opened.

Inside, lying quietly, was a wooden box, identical to the one Grandma had before.
