The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1733

Alaric had turned the house upside down, rifling through every drawer without finding a trace of the family register. His anxiety was mounting when his eyes landed on the safe in the corner of the room. Alaric knew his mother was always cautious, safeguarding their most vital documents meticulously.

Considering the family register was an essential item, could it be locked away in the safe?

Without hesitation, Alaric decided to try his luck with the safe. He first entered his sister Angelina's birthday as the code, but it was wrong. Next, he tried using his father's birthday, but no luck there either.

Could it be his own birthday?

As Alaric was about to enter his birthdate, the room door swung open abruptly, flooding the room with light and catching him off-guard.

"Alaric, what are you up to?" Angelina's voice was laced with tension.

Startled, Alaric turned to see his mother striding toward him, her presence overwhelming.

Straightening up and abandoning his attempt to crack the safe, Alaric tried to play it cool: "Mom..."

Angelina, ignoring his initial attempt at conversation, approached the safe, reset the failed attempt, and turned to Alaric with a stern look. "What's this, Alaric? You go off and live on your own for a while and come back picking up bad habits from those troublemakers, learning to steal now?"

Feeling the weight of her words, Alaric's frustration bubbled to the surface. "Mom, show some respect. What do you mean 'troublemakers'? And what's this about me picking up bad habits? Can't you speak without being so harsh?"

Seeing his admission of intending to take something, Angelina opened the safe in anger, grabbed the contents, and confronted Alaric. "What is it that you want?"

The moment Alaric saw the dark red family register on top, the very thing he had been searching for days, his eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he grabbed the register.

"This is all I needed. I'm leaving now." Without waiting for a response, Alaric turned and quickly left.

Angelina, watching his hurry, froze for a second before a realization hit her.

"Alaric, stop right there!" she shouted after him.
