Chapter 769 There's One More Thing
The servants and bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances. "Mr. Harrington, you're putting us in a tough spot."
Antonio sneered. "What? You think I can't stay here?"
"Of course not!"
Antonio was the sole heir to the Harrington Family. There wasn't a single corner in the Harrington Manor that he couldn't stay. To be blunt, everything in the Harrington Family would eventually belong to him.
"Then what do you mean?"
Isabella chimed in this time, taking on her usual authoritative tone from her days in the Harrington Family, her brows slightly furrowed. "I worked hard to get Benjamin to come back. Are you trying to drive him away? Harold has always wanted Benjamin to move back. Don't you know that?"
She seemed to get angrier as she spoke, pulling out her phone as if to make a call. "If that's the case, I'll just tell Harold directly. Now that he's not home, and you don't even listen to Benjamin. Are you making decisions on your own now?"
The servants and bodyguards trembled in fear. "Ms. Moore, that's not what we meant!"
"Forget it." Antonio raised an eyebrow, his cold eyes seeming to emit a chill. "I'll just go back. I don't want to stay in this dump anyway!"
With that, he turned to leave.
The servants and bodyguards exchanged a look and quickly said, "Mr. Harrington! We'll leave right away!"
Judging by Benjamin's and Isabella's demeanors, they thought Benjamin and Isabella seemed to have reconciled and needed some privacy.
Moreover, Isabella was right. Angering Benjamin over such trivial matters would bring trouble they weren't prepared to face.
Before long, the bodyguards and servants in the villa had all left.
Antonio glanced at Isabella. "Let's go."
The two quickly went upstairs and reached the study door without incident.
Harold was indeed arrogant enough as he didn't install cameras or other security measures in his own villa, which was a significant advantage for them.
"There's a password on the door." Isabella's beautiful brows furrowed as she continued, "I've never been in his study."
Harold's trust in her had always been superficial. He never let her into the core areas or know the passwords, ostensibly for her own good.
"No problem." Antonio's eyes narrowed slightly. "I think I know the password."
He remembered that the last time, at the Harrington Group headquarters, the lab had a similar password lock. The password was likely the same.
Isabella was a bit surprised. "Really?"
Antonio didn't answer, just pressed a few numbers on the lock.
The next second, the study door actually opened.
"Let's hurry."
Inside the study, there was an antique bookshelf neatly lined with various books, all props designed to paint Harold as a cultured and erudite businessman.
In reality, he was deeply flawed!
Isabella looked around and suddenly said, "Look here!"
In a hidden compartment, there was a large safe.
Antonio's eyes narrowed as he walked over to the safe, squatted down to examine it, and his brows furrowed even deeper. "It won't open. This safe requires Harold's iris to unlock."
So, besides Harold himself, no one could open this safe.
"Well." Isabella looked at him seriously studying the safe, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Actually, I have it."
"What did you say?!" Antonio stopped what he was doing and turned to Isabella, eyes wide with disbelief.
Even though he always knew Isabella wasn't just any ordinary person, her having something as unique as an iris amazed him.
"I do have it!" Isabella pulled out a small box from her coat pocket. "This is Harold's iris. I thought it might come in handy, so I brought it."
The way she got it was pretty wild.
Back when Isabella was working closely with Harold, she stumbled upon some of his secrets. She found out that Harold used custom password programs and iris scans for his most prized possessions.
Later, Harold had some eye issues and needed a check-up.
Isabella had a good friend who was an expert in that field. She asked him to keep Harold's iris and make a pair of contact lenses indistinguishable from the real thing.
She thought it might be a backup plan, never expecting it to actually come in handy one day.
Antonio's eyes were filled with shock as he stared at her for a long time. "Seems like I don't know you as well as I thought."
Isabella felt a bit embarrassed, thinking he was implying she was scheming. "Don't say that. I was just lucky."
Antonio smiled. "Let's give it a try."
"Okay." Isabella took a deep breath, carefully took out the contact lenses, put them in her eyes, and then placed her eyes on the safe's lock.
The safe opened with a click.
A look of joy appeared on Isabella's face. "We did it!"
Antonio's deep eyes instantly brightened. He opened the safe door, revealing some gold bars and several file folders.
The folders contained not only several illegal projects but also all of the Harrington Group's illegal expenditures, which left Isabella in shock.
The Harrington Group, beneath its glamorous exterior, had done so many shady things. Any one of these could turn the entire company upside down!
She took a few deep breaths before taking out her phone to snap pictures while Antonio didn't seem surprised.
"Back up all of these. I'll check the computer."
He then turned and went to the desk, opened the computer, and inserted a USB drive to copy all the files.
Who would have thought that the chairman of the Harrington Group would do such disgusting things?
Harold had even saved photographs of his victims on his computer.
As Isabella finished taking her own photographs of the documents, she was startled by the photos on the computer when she saw them.
"Did you not expect him to do such things?" Antonio had a cold smile on his lips.
These were just the ones he had photographed. Who knew how many more there were that he hadn't photographed!
Like Carter!
And Carol and Cynthia!
Isabella looked at his dark expression, unsure of what to say, and her fear of Harold deepened. She gasped, "I really didn't expect him to do these things."
He had always been kind and fatherly to her, but it turned out he was so evil behind the scenes.
Silence enveloped them as they watched the files transferring from the computer to the USB drive. After finishing everything, they restored everything to its original state.
Leaving the villa, Isabella finally felt relieved.
"With the evidence we have now, can we make him pay?"
"Probably." Antonio's eyes glinted. "But there's still one thing I haven't gotten, so there's no rush for now."
