His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1085

The events that followed suit were within their plans.

“Where did you get the ‘secret handbook’ from?” Lily had never browsed its contents. However, she knew the book in the safe was fake.

“There are tons of such things on the Internet. I just found one that was less popular and did something with its appearance, so it looks old. It was a piece of cake,” Alexander explained simply.

He just put the handbook directly into the safe, but without any poison on its surface. That was a gift for Ralph anyway, so they did not need to complicate the situation.

“Why did you use that then?” Lily pursed her lips and gestured toward the arrow on the wall. Smirking, she asked, “Aren’t you worried your uncle might die here if anything were to go wrong?”

She would faint if the scene that greeted her when she opened the door to their room were Ralph lying in a pool of his own blood.

In response to that, Alexander smiled and walked over the wall. With his thumb and index finger around one of the arrows, he plucked it from the wall. It looked easy for him to do that. When he returned to Lily’s side and showed her the arrow, she realized there was no arrowhead.

The arrow he used had a magnetic point. The magnets should be stronger than the average one, so Alexander looked like he had to put in some effort to pluck it earlier.

“Hey, if this were to shoot your uncle, wouldn’t it expose your plan?” Lily played with the arrow, finding it quite interesting as it looked realistic. If Alexander did not show her that the arrows did not have arrowheads, she would not have realized it.

Alexander shook his head. “My uncle is always suspicious and thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. If the traps were too simple, Ralph would be suspicious. If they were too tough, he wouldn’t be able to break through it with his ‘intelligence.’

“Back in the office, I allowed him to see the safe’s passcode on purpose. I wanted to prevent him from stealing the company’s confidential information, but I didn’t think it would be useful in this case.”

Lily did not expect him to prepare for this since long ago. Ralph could never be a match for Alexander, making Lily wonder. “If he didn’t remember the passcode or didn’t see it clearly at the office back then, he wouldn’t be able to open this safe. Wouldn’t that put all your effort in vain?”
