Chapter 215

With a loud “clatter”, all six tapes fell to the ground, and the caretaker quickly rushed to pick them up.

Stella glanced up. As soon as she noticed something peculiar about the tapes, she shouted, Don’t move!”

The caretaker was startled. She froze in place and did not dare to pick them nervously, “I… I didn’t mean to. I don’t think they are broken.”

She said Instead of explaining herself, Stella walked over and crouched down to take a closer look.

She discovered that the song lists of the tapes were marked with numbers using pens, and each tape had a unique number.

Stella picked up the tapes and got up to rummage through the other tapes. There were more than two hundred of them, but only six tapes were marked with numbers.

‘This can’t be a coincidence,’ Stella thought.

Seeing Stella’s solemn expression, the caretaker whispered, “Stella, why don’t you play them to see if any of them are broken? I’ll pay for any damages.”

Only then did Stella come back to her senses. She shook her head and said, “It’s okay. I’ve cleared up the memory on your phone. You can download that file now.”

The caretaker breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked her.

Stella held the six tapes with a serious expression.

“What exactly do these numbers mean?

“Why did mom show a response when she heard these tapes? Is she… trying to tell me something?

“There are six numbers. Could they be a code or combination for something?

‘But, there’s no safe at home, and even if there is, the code shouldn’t be recorded this way.

‘Moreover, these numbers were so well hidden. If the caretaker hadn’t accidentally knocked them to the ground, I wouldn’t have noticed them.

‘Obviously, mom kept the numbers here because she didn’t want anyone to know.

‘But, what is she trying to hide so secretly?”

She thought for a moment, took pictures of the six tapes, then destroyed the handwriting and put them back into the pile of tapes.

In the Kane residence at Royalpark Villa, Maya woke up in the middle of the night. When she turned on the lights in the hallway, she caught a glimpse of a figure lying on the living room couch. Maya was startled. She quickly flicked on the lights, only to realize that it was Keegan He was leaning on the sofa, looking as if he was about to fall asleep. The light had woken him “Mr. Kane, what are you doing here on the couch?” Maya asked, rushing to grab a blanket for him.

Keegan checked the time. “She’s still not back?”

“No, her indoor slippers are still outside, and it’s already late. Should I give her a call?” Maya suggested.

Keegan pursed his lips before he said, “No.”

“Why don’t you go upstairs and get some rest? The living room can be really cold at night. You might catch a cold,” Maya suggested.

However, Keegan refused. “No, I’ll be fine. You go ahead and get some rest.”

After failing to persuade Keegan to go upstairs, Maya went to fetch a glass of water for him. ” Mrs.

Kane’s temper is pretty bad right now. She took birth control pills without telling your mother, and she’s still angry with others. It’s pretty late, and she’s still not home. It’s not good for you to stay up when your wound hasn’t healed. Your mother will be very upset if she finds out.”

Keegan frowned. “How did you know she took birth control pills?”
