Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Picking the Lock

“Raine…”

Just as she took two steps, Lea suddenly stopped her.

“What are you doing going up there?” Lea pulled her anxiously. “This is the Case family, you know. What do we do if you get caught?”

“I have something important up there that I must take back,” Kisa looked at Lea’s somewhat suspicious eyes and said, “I’ll explain to you about some stuff later.”

Lea went silent for a moment as the doubt in her eyes slowly disappeared. In its place was a look of sincerity and trust. “Then what help do you need from me?”

Kisa was filled with gratitude for Lea’s unconditional trust and assistance.

She then said in a low voice, “There are two escalators in the manor and one elevator.”

As she said that, she pointed to a corner of the yard, “Hide there later, and you can observe the situation of those three entrances. Let me know if someone is going upstairs.”

Lea

gave her a puzzled look but did not pry further as she solemnly nodded, “Alright, go see to your business.”

“Thank you.” Kisa shook Lea’s hand before rushing upstairs.

The banquet was now in full swing, and sure enough, there was no one upstairs as it was quiet all the way.

Kisa soon arrived at the attic on the top floor.

She first tried to turn the doorknob, but as expected, it could not be opened.

She did not have the key. Sharon and Carolyn would definitely not hand her the key, so she had prepared a lockpicking tool before she came.

Kisa was not good at lockpicking, but fortunately for her, she had watched some video tutorials online and practiced many times at home, so she could still pick open a normal house door.

She looked around her. After making sure there was no one around, she took out the wire and poked inside the keyhole.

Perhaps because she was afraid that someone might suddenly walk over, Kisa felt nervous, and her hands trembled a little as she picked the lock.

But when she remembered that she would soon be able to get her mother’s belongings, she felt a hint of excitement.

After picking for another ten odd minutes, a click was heard, and the lock inside had obviously moved.

Kisa was overjoyed and quickly turned the knob.

The attic was quiet and a little dark. The stacks of items inside were also a little messy.

She quickly closed the door behind her and started ruminaging to look for her mother’s

belongings.

In the end, she found a photo album inside a cardboard box.

The album was weathered and dusty.

She hurriedly opened the photo album, and tears immediately flowed.

Her mother’s photographs were really inside it.

However, some of the photos had been deliberately scratched with a blade, and the contours. of her face could no longer be distinguished.

She closed the album and continued to search the box.

There were many items in the box, including clothes, accessories, and a few notebooks.

Kisa picked up a book and flipped through it. It was all her mother’s notes.

She tearfully hugged the notebook, her heart filled with thoughts of her mother.

However, this was not the time to reminisce about her mother. She had to leave this place quickly

The contents of this box were undoubtedly her mother’s personal effects when she was still alive. She was finally here and needed to take all of them back with her.

But a box was not easy to carry, and it would be very conspicuous. Kisa quickly wiped her tears away and searched for a bag inside the house. As soon as she found two dirty old paper bags, the door suddenly opened with a clack.

Kisa’s heart sank. She subconsciously looked for a place to hide, but it was too late. She only saw a tall silhouette against the light walking in.
