I gently turned the handle, and sure enough, the door opened.
My heart pounded in my chest. I had a gut feeling that there was a huge secret hidden in that room.
I took out a tiny camera and placed it on the highest bookshelf, aiming it directly at the desk in the center.
After that, I sneaked back to the storage room and watched the footage on my phone.
After dinner, Tyler pulled out a small safe from under the study desk and placed a stack of papers, which looked like contracts, inside.
Unfortunately, he was standing directly in front of the safe, so I couldn't see the password.
Once everything was done, I returned to my room and made a phone call.
"Hey, Dad."
"What now?"
"Are we really that poor?"
"Of course. Can't you tell?"
I saw him fiddle with his new watch while talking on the phone.
The camera didn't capture it clearly, but I could see that the watch was worth at least six figures.
"I had a dream. I dreamed that you had another family and were really wealthy."
"Don't be ridiculous! I'll transfer 100 bucks to you later. Don't bother me if there's nothing wrong."
He hung up the phone. Then I saw him carefully wipe down each of his watches before putting them away in the surveillance video.
