Chapter 176 Toying With the Safe
The man’s joyful voice boomed through the phone once more. “Don’t worry about the safe and sleep
well. It won’t be gone. Even if it is, I’ll send you a new one!”
“Go back to bed!” After that, Olivia hung up angrily.
Soon, she saw the few workers pushing the safe on a cart into the studio. They were shouting out
directions at each other while finding the right place to put down the safe. “Where should we place this
item?”
How am I supposed to know?
Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the studio and made space in her office for the safe.
Just now, when she saw the glaring money tree, she was at a loss, finding it both frustrating and funny.
The instant Kate arrived, she saw the delivery men yelling and moving the gargantuan item into the
studio, which was really funny in her eyes. “Is that what your senior got you?”
Olivia nodded. “Yeah. He had a patient who was working in the diamond business, so he got the
money tree ordered and delivered. The price tag of this tree is probably equivalent to the annual pay of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe craftsman.”
Kate smiled. “Wow, you’re his true love then!”
She received a stare from Olivia. “Stop that nonsense. He’s my senior.”
Moving on, Kate rubbed her chin and started thinking. “Tsk, tsk, why don’t you leave someone here at
night to guard the safe? I plan to come over at night to break the glass and steal a few diamonds.”
Smiling, Olivia egged her on, “Yeah, you should try it.”
“What?”
“I thought you wanted to break the glass?”
“What? Do you think I can’t?” As she spoke, she knocked on the safe, and the next second, an alarm
immediately blared and attracted the attention of those outside the studio, who walked over to check
out the situation.
Olivia was shocked too because she only wanted Kate to give it a try without expecting the loud alarm
noise. She hurriedly looked around for the remote control and finally managed to turn the alarm off after
entering the password.
Everyone surrounded the two and discussed the security alarm with great interest.
As for Kate, she was patting her chest in shock. “My god, that was terrifying. It looks like it’s not easy to
steal that tree.”
Nathan happened to walk up and overheard her remark. He could not help but make fun of her. “Are
you stupid? There’s a reason they placed the money tree at the most conspicuous place. How would
they let you steal it that easily?”
Kate looked up at Nathan and wanted to tell him that it was none of his business. However, she saw
Melanie locking arms with Nathan. When her eyes met Melanie’s, she decided not to retort and instead
chose to ignore him.
It was Nathan who was unused to Kate’s behavior as he joked, “Looks like you’re more behaved today.
You indeed have a guilty conscience.”
Furious, Kate could not stop herself from barking back at him, “Get lost, Nathan Baker! I’m only
overlooking your comments out of respect for your girlfriend. Don’t cross the line!”
“Tsk, tsk!” He clicked his tongue disapprovingly and turned around to take a look at Melanie. Then, he

Melanie shunned his advance in embarrassment, “Quit fooling around. There are people around us.”
Kate stared blankly at the lovey-dovey couple and frantically shifted her gaze away to the money tree,
acting as if she was casually admiring it.
Noticing Kate’s discomfort, Olivia stood out and announced, “It’s about time. Let’s go out now.”
A few people responded to her. They left the studio and prepared for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
At 9.58 a.m., the ceremony officially started. Since there was a firecracker ban in Summer City, some
merry music was played in the background as a replacement. In the middle of the music, Olivia took
the microphone and gave a short speech.
