“I don’t know the password. My dad didn’t tell me the password before he passed.” Avery frowned and shook her head.
She did not lie.
It was true that Jack had not told her about the company before his death, let alone his last words related to the password. O
There were so many people in the room at that time. If Jack had said it, she could not have been the only one who knew. 1
“Uncle Locklyn, why don’t I go back and ask my mom?” Avery discussed with the vice president, “When I saw my dad for the last time, he left this world after saying a couple of words to me. My mom might know a bit more.”
The vice president did not doubt it. “Okay. Don’t tell anyone about this. This is a top secret of our company. I’m only telling you because you’re the heir appointed by President Tate.”
Avery glanced at the safe, and a very sober voice in her mind seemed to sound some alarm bells. 3
They had to tell her about this secret because they could not find someone to open the safe.
1
If they had opened this safe secretly, they would have simply taken the stuff in the safe privately and would never have let her know about it. 18
“Well, I definitely won’t tell anyone about this thing. Uncle Locklyn, apart from you, who else knows about this?” Avery chatted with the vice president as her feet headed towards the door. 3
The vice president followed along toward the door. 2

“Two other technicians. They are both your father’s trusted people and have been working with him for many years. When the time comes to sell and get the money, we’ll split it
equally, what do you think?” asked the vice president. 4
Avery nodded. “Then I’ll go back and get the password first.”
“Alright. Avery, it’s not that I don’t want to continue. It’s that no one sees any good in your father’s company and our team. They only want this system we’ve developed, and we’ll definitely be kicked out when the time comes. It’s also very hard for me to make this decision.” (2
“Yes, I understand. Uncle Locklyn, what if I can’t think of the right password?” Avery’s
eyes lifted up to look at the vice president.
She was really a bit worried.
She had absolutely no clue now. 6
The vice president frowned. “Your father must have left you some signals when he gave you the company. You go back and think about it carefully.”
“Okay.”
After leaving the company, Avery took a taxi back to her mother’s home. 1
Laura was washing vegetables.
“Avery, why did Cole look for you? Didn’t you two break up?”
Avery picked up her glass of water, took a sip, and said, “He was beaten up by Elliot and
wanted to fight back. He tried to use me to kill Elliot.” 4
Laura’s face changed dramatically. “Avery, you wouldn’t agree to that, would you?!”
“How is that possible? Killing someone? I definitely won’t do it. Mom, what kind of person do you think I am?”
Laura sighed in relief. “You’ve grown up and don’t share a lot of things with me, such as

the matter of your pregnancy, for example. If Elliot hadn’t forced you to have an abortion,
how long would you have planned to hide it from me?” 4
Avery walked up to her mom and hugged her. “Mom, I didn’t know about the pregnancy until very late, too. By the way, do you know where Dad’s relics are?” 4
The expression on Laura’s face froze and she said awkwardly, “Avery, your father and I divorced a long time ago, and when he died, his relics were not mine to handle. What do
you need his relics for?” (2)
She told her mother what had just happened. 12
“It’s a six–digit code. What would Dad have set? Did he ever tell you about it?” She
pondered hard. (23)
Laura shook her head. “He didn’t say anything to me about the password. He kept telling
me he was sorry then and kept shedding tears… Honestly, I hated him, but every time I
think of the image of him on his deathbed, I get soft… Sigh, what’s the use of being resentful when he isn’t here anymore?” @
“Mom, the vice president told me that Dad didn’t give me the company to carry on the debt. He said that the system Dad developed could be sold for a lot of money.” Avery’s nose
twitched, and she felt very complicated. 3
