---- Chapter 2290 Aspen recalled Andrew's warning. "High-end safes and lockboxes can't just be tampered with.
Unless you know the exact code, the moment you mess with it, you'll likely trip an alarm and give yourself
away." She studied the safe in front of her and immediately saw it was top-of-the-line. The digital screen flashed
the Tristars Group logo, and next to it was a set of physical buttons. Aspen had cprepared. She pulled out a
UV flashlight and scanned the keypad, but her heart sank. Ezekiel had clearly anticipated this because there was
not a single fingerprint mark.
It was as if no one had ever pressed it with bare hands. That could only mean he always wore gloves when
entering the code. Aspen slipped two thin hairpins from her pinned-up hair. The ends were bent into hooks,
perfect for lockpicking. She went to work on the safe, but it was no use. The material was rock-solid, and no
matter how hard she tried, the door did not budge. Just then, her phone buzzed against her side. She pulled it
out and saw Andrew's message. [Get out now!] ---- It was just those three words. Aspen's chest tightened.
She hated to leave empty-handed, because failing to get the Blackstar Crystal felt like letting down her dear
husband. Gritting her teeth, she was about to reach for the keypad to try entering a code, but at the last
moment, she controlled herself and shook her head while muttering under her breath. "Stay calm, Aspen. You
have to stay calm! Andrew taught you never to be reckless in situations like this and never to gamble everything
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton a desperate move. You think the enemy is stupid, but the real fool would be you." Without the password, how
could she possibly get the Blackstar Crystal?
In a flash of inspiration, her bright eyes suddenly lit up. She had an idea! She grabbed the entire safe and
decided to make off with it. But immediately, she cried out in dismay, Her high heel had snapped under the
weight! The safe in her arms weighed at least 250 pounds. For someone with her martial arts skills, the weight
itself was not the problem, but her beloved shoes had paid the price. ---- However, this was not the tto worry
about such details. She could already hear chaotic footsteps outside Undoubtedly, Ezekiel's remaining
bodyguards were rushing back.
Taking a deep breath, she clutched the safe and leaped straight down from the fifth-floor balcony. Within
moments, she had vanished outside the Grand Hall. Andrew's beat-up car shot out from the intersection like a
Tunaway stallion, pulling up just in tto intercept Aspen. She was overjoyed to see him. The passenger door
swung open, and she dove inside headfirst.
She said excitedly, "Honey, | didn't
see the Blackstar Crystal, but |
managed to grab this whole safe!"
Andrew floored the accelerator and
