Chapter 178 - The Things In The Gold Bars



Rose arranged the fake gold bars on the table and stared at them from different angles. "I wonder which of them has what I am looking for," Rose said as she picked them one after the other and shook them.

"I think they could also be in all the gold bars. I don\'t think melting will be a god idea to find it. I will find a jeweler. I have one I can trust. I will give it to him to cut it. It will be better than giving it to a total stranger even if you don\'t trust him," Liam suggested when he brought a small blanket and wrapped her shoulder.

"I think so too. Do you have some underground safe or something of that sort that I could hide my gold bars in?" she asked looking at him with sleepy eyes. "One I can lock with a password of my choice," she added with a yawn.

"Oh .. . . I will just change the password of the one I have. It requires a lot of processes; do you want to wait for so long?" Liam asked as he looked at her sleepy countenance. "I think you should rest early. I will take care of it."

"No! I will wait for you," she replied sharply and sat up straight blinking her eyes to prevent it from dropping close. She has never felt so sleepy before. It has always been until she was lying on her bed before she feels sleepy or perhaps after even lying for more than half an hour to even for a few hours.

"Fine. Follow me," Liam said biting the inside of his cheeks. She was willing to go through the torture of being awake just so she could watch the gold bars get hidden away from his reach.

"When you take the gold to jeweler . . . . no, we will take the gold bars to the jeweler together," she told him seriously.

"I will remember that," he said feigning calmly despite how wronged he felt from her open lack of trust.

He did just as she told him and changed the password of his large underground safe to her fingerprint and let her chose another password which she did not tell him about. He wondered how she will feel if he decides to refuse and make her feel he did not trust her because he also had some things hidden in the safe but he brushed off the thought immediately knowing he won\'t be able to stand seeing her get hurt.

"Thank you for everything," she said rubbing the bars she held in her arms like a baby. She was so excited to see what message her mother left and she wanted to protect that little message whatever it was because she might never get lucky enough in the future to find something her mother left purposefully to leave a message for her.

"You are welcome," he accepted her appreciation as he watched her lock the safe when they walked out. He understood that she was trying to protect it from anything that could harm it but the thing was, he was not at all in that category.

"This must be the thing your father was talking about when he asked me to work with him," she said thoughtfully as they took the steps upstairs to the room. She was very tired. Walking upstairs made her feel like she was floating, she had to depend on the handrail for support.

"Are you going to be able to bath before you sleep? It will be very refreshing," Liam advised her. They spent hours in a dusty enclosed environment and a warm bath will do them both a lot of good.

"I think I will skip that and go to sleep. I feel . . ." she said with slurred speech and swayed to the side.

"Okay," Liam agreed as he reached for her shoulder to support her. When she was at the state she was in already, a bath was definitely not a good idea.

Rose did not understand the fatigue she that overwhelmed her that she could hardly go upstairs without Liam\'s assistance and she fell asleep even before her head touched the soft silk pillow. She became completely unaware of her environment as she travelled into a dreamland.

"She must have been very stressed," Liam said as he watched her sleep in the clothe she wore to the bank and he shook his head hard to ward off the thought that began forming on his mind when he noticed a few dust stains on her dark blue dress. He removed her shoes and covered her with the comforter.

Rose held a flash drive in her hand as she stared at it intently. After scraping off the metal of the gold bars, the "jeweler" found a flash drive in the third one. Liam was the jeweler who did it at the end of the day because Rose refused to trust a jeweler she has never met and she did not want to take the gold bar out of the mansion.

Liam did it all in the safe under her strict supervision. She expected more in the other gold bars. Liam checked the others and just like she expected, he found a key in the last gold bar. She glanced at the gold key on the table and sighed. She hoped that the information the flash drive will lead her to the door she had to open with the small gold key.

She glanced around to appreciate Liam\'s effort but he was gone. She bit her lower lip feeling guilty of what she did to him. She really made him go through a lot. She began thinking of what she could do too show her appreciation but she could not come up with anything.

She did not know him much to buy him a gift that he will like and she was not sure she could do anything at the moment to show her appreciation that will be worthy enough.

She knew she had been very stubborn with everything through the process of getting the things she got from the gold bars. Someone else will most likely not be patient enough to let her boss them around but she just could not reduce her vigilance.

With another heavy sigh, she inserted the flash drive into the laptop Liam gave and she clicked on the file that appeared. There were three video files in it. Her heart began beating hard and fast as she moved her finger on the mouse to unravel the secrets in them. She felt scared and paused. Was she sure she could handle whatever was in the video?
