Chapter 1616: 396: An Unforgettable Surprise!_4 Chapter 1616: 396: An Unforgettable Surprise!_4 Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Hoya said with a smile, “Silly girl, what are you talking about? You are the love of my life, I love you more than I love myself. For you, I am willing to do anything!”
Miyamoto Hoya spoke with such sincerity that it was hard to distinguish between truth and deception.
Even an experienced lover like Miss Seaton was deeply caught up in it. She stood up, hugged Miyamoto Hoya tightly, and sobbed, “Miyamoto, thank you.”
Miyamoto Hoya curled his lips slightly, his gaze drifting to the window.
Very well.
Karina had even deployed her secret guards.
It seemed that the time for Miss Seaton to steal the design plans was not far off.
The next second, Miyamoto Hoya let go of Miss Seaton, continuing, “Miss Seaton, I’m sorry, but I’ve been quite busy lately and might not be able to accompany you further. I need to rush back right now.”
Miss Seaton knew why Miyamoto Hoya was so hurried, she grasped his hand firmly and said, “Miyamoto, don’t worry, I will definitely help you!”
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Hoya smiled and patted Miss Seaton’s head, then said, “Take good care of yourself and our child, keeping them from harm is the best help you could give me.”
Miss Seaton was already moved, but these words made her even more so.
She became even more determined to help Miyamoto Hoya steal the designs.
Miyamoto Hoya looked at Miss Seaton, his eyes full of deep affection, and said, “Promise me, you will take care of yourself.”
“Yes,” Miss Seaton nodded.
Miyamoto Hoya then said, “Then I must go back now.”
“Go quickly.”
Miyamoto Hoya reluctantly held Miss Seaton’s hand, then said, “Seaton, remember your promise, after I sort out Viola’s matter, you will marry me.”
Miss Seaton nodded.
Seeing Miss Seaton nod, Miyamoto Hoya was very happy, he bent down and kissed her forehead.
Miss Seaton pushed Miyamoto Hoya away, then said, “You should go and get busy.”
Miyamoto Hoya unwillingly left.
After Miyamoto Hoya left, Miss Seaton also returned to her place.
After returning, she began to think about how to steal the design plans.
She was very familiar with Karina’s routines.
Every day, Karina would carve out some time to immerse herself in experiments.
During this period, no one was allowed to disturb her.
In half an hour, Karina would be heading to the laboratory.
Thinking this, Miss Seaton narrowed her eyes.
She must help Miyamoto Hoya.
Only by helping Miyamoto Hoya could she truly stand up.
Soon, half an hour had passed.
To confirm whether Karina had gone to the laboratory, Miss Seaton carried a cup of cool tea to Karina’s room.
She stood at the door and knocked, “Sister.”
There was no answer from inside.
Right then, Lamy walked by, “Miss Seaton.”
“Where is my sister?” Miss Seaton asked.
Lamy replied, “Miss Karina has gone to the laboratory.”
“I’ll take this tea to her,” said Miss Seaton as she pushed the door open.
As she spoke, Miss Seaton turned to Lamy, “When will my sister finish her experiment?”
Lamy answered, “In about half an hour.”
Miss Seaton nodded slightly, “I wanted to talk to her about something, so I will wait for her in the room.”
Since she said she would wait for Karina, Lamy couldn’t stop her, and only said, “Then I’ll be out first, if you need anything, just call me.”
“Okay.”
Lamy turned and stepped outside.
Miss Seaton placed the cool tea on the table, then glanced back toward the door.
Although Lamy had closed the door, there were cameras in Karina’s room.
Therefore, she couldn’t act recklessly.
Looking at the camera on the wall, Miss Seaton narrowed her eyes.
Just then.
Click.
The electric decoration in Karina’s room suddenly stopped.
Miss Seaton was startled.
Could this be…
A power outage?
Realizing the issue, Miss Seaton immediately stood up from her chair and walked to the side.
She pressed the crystal lamp switch on the wall.
Click–
But no light brightened the air.
A power outage!
It seemed to be a real power outage.
Realizing this issue, Miss Seaton was wild with joy!
It was as if even the heavens were helping her.
Without surveillance, Miss Seaton instantly became unrestrained.
She started searching everywhere.
Not here.
Not there either.
As time ticked away by the minute, Miss Seaton became extremely anxious, cold sweat forming layers on her forehead.
Just then, Miss Seaton found a safe in the corner.
Her intuition told her that the design plans must be hidden inside this safe.
But the safe required a password to open.
Miss Seaton tried entering her own birthday.
“Verification failed!”
Wrong.
Miss Seaton slightly furrowed her brows.
There were only three attempts allowed. If exceeded, an alarm would automatically trigger.
If it wasn’t the birthday, then what was it?
Could it be Karina’s lucky number?
Miss Seaton tried entering Karina’s lucky number.
“Verification failed!”
Wrong again!
How could this be?
What exactly was the problem?
With only one attempt left, Miss Seaton didn’t dare to enter just any number.
She forced herself to calm down and thought carefully.
Just then, Miss Seaton recalled a sequence of numbers.
These numbers had slipped out unintentionally while Karina was talking in her sleep.
After thinking it over, Miss Seaton decided to take the risk.
045619.
Her hands trembled as she pressed the numbers.
“Verification successful.”
The next second.
Click.
The door opened.
At that moment, Miss Seaton’s hanging heart finally settled down.
The safe contained a lot of important documents, including detailed design plans and diagrams for B12.
Miss Seaton gathered all the documents related to B12, then closed the safe’s door and walked out of the room.
She acted as if nothing had happened, telling Lamy, “I suddenly feel a bit unwell in my stomach. I’m going back to rest a while; let me know when my sister comes back.”
“Of course, Miss Seaton.”
After returning, Miss Seaton hid the design plans and then messaged Miyamoto Hoya.
Miyamoto Hoya replied instantly.
Miss Seaton arranged a meeting place.
The most important thing now was to deliver the design plans to Miyamoto Hoya.
He looked at the message from Miss Seaton, his lips curling slightly.
The fish had bitten the bait.
Soon, Miss Seaton arrived at the meeting place and handed the item to Miyamoto Hoya, “Miyamoto-san, you must keep this safe.”
“What is this?” Miyamoto Hoya asked puzzledly.
Miss Seaton replied, “Something that will help you.”
Just then, Miyamoto Hoya glanced behind Miss Seaton, his expression changing.
Miss Seaton immediately asked, “Miyamoto-san, what’s wrong?”
Miyamoto Hoya continued, “Someone is tracking you.”
Hearing this, Miss Seaton’s expression changed as well, and she immediately turned to look.
Sure enough.
Someone was indeed tracking her.
It didn’t take much to realize that it was surely Karina’s doing.
Miyamoto Hoya timely spoke, “Miss Seaton, don’t blame Miss Karina. I know I am not worthy of you. It’s normal for your sister to be worried.”
“But I will prove it to Miss Karina.”
Miss Seaton looked at Miyamoto Hoya, her eyes slightly moist, and after a moment, she nodded.
Miyamoto Hoya narrowed his eyes, an inscrutable expression on his face, and whispered, “Remember, come to Yellow Avenue at ten o’clock in the evening three days from now. I’ll give you a surprise you’ll never forget!”
