Chapter 52 Theft


    After arriving at the fourth floor, Chelsea took the elevator down. Her housekeeper and Tiana


    immediately panicked.


    “Old Mrs. Hilton, where are you going?”


    “Be careful, Old Mrs. Hilton.”


    They followed her to the third floor. Chelsea searched everywhere, but the boys were


    nowhere to be found.


    Disappointed, she came to a stop. Shortly after, Tiana and the housekeeper caught up to her,


    “Old Mrs. Hilton, slow down. Be careful not to trip yourself.”


    Her housekeeper held her arm, afraid that she’d walk away any minute.


    Chelsea let out a disappointed sigh. I yearn for a great-grandchild too much. Even the sight of


    children resembling Matt made me think that they were his children. I must be crazy, for that’s


    impossible. Matt’s a smart boy. He’ll know if he gets a woman pregnant. Besides, he had


    remained single all over the years. Lizzy’s the only exception, but unfortunately, she already has


    children.


    As a grandmother, she didn’t want her grandson to get a divorced woman with three kids.


    Matthew was too outstanding a man to settle down with a woman like that.


    Tiana’s lips curled up as she asked, “Old Mrs. Hilton, are you tired? Should we have some

    tea together?”


    It suddenly urred to her that Chelsea was too old to be going shopping. Thus, she


    changed her ns and suggested taking Chelsea to tea.


    Chelsea wasn’t in the mood for shopping anymore. Misery crept up her heart as she thought


    of Matthew’s marriage and Hector’s illness.


    “Let’s head back,” she ordered calmly.


    Hearing that, the housekeeper pulled out her phone to inform the driver to pick them up at


    the entrance.


    Despite her dismay, Tiana dared not voice her objection.


    She followed Chelsea back to the Hilton residence.


    Meanwhile, Elizabeth arrived at the pawnshop and showed her ring to them.


    “How much can I get if I were to pawn this ring?” she asked.


    After checking online, she found out that the diamond was expensive, so she’d get around


    two million if she were to sell it. However, she only needed five hundred thousand to treat Pearl’s


    condition.


    The staff took her ring and examined it under the UV light.


    He then headed into the shop to inform his boss. Soon, his owner came out to greet Elizabeth


    personally.


    “Miss, we can offer two hundred thousand for this ring,” he said.


    Elizabeth shook her head. “Five hundred thousand.”


    The owner took another look at the ring and responded, “Then we can’t take it.”


    Elizabeth retrieved the ring and gripped it in her palm. I checked and confirmed it’s worth two million.


    How could they offer me only two hundred thousand? That’s too little. They are


    clearly trying to rip me off, but I’m not a fool.


    Hence, she stood up and left the pawnshop to head to the elevator.


    Elizabeth had never wanted to sell the ring, not even when she was at the toughest point of her life.


    However, she made up her mind to pawn it after seeing Pearl and Jessica’s plight to help


    them out.


    It was more important to save Pearl’s life than wait for that scu m to find her.


    She had waited for years, but the sc um never showed up.


    Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was hallucinating or if the man had indeed


    existed. Six yearster, all she had for him was pure hatred.


    That was why she decided to pawn the ring in exchange for money. She scrutinized the ring


    carefully. Hmm, I wonder if other pawnshops will give me a better price?


    Right before she put the ring back into her bag, a man appeared out of nowhere and


    snat ched the ring from her.


    At once, Elizabeth went after the thief. s, she was wearing heels and sprained her ankle.


    As a result, she failed to catch up with him.


    Breathless with anger, she burst into tears. How could the thief do this to me? I need the ring


    to save Pearl’s life!


    When Elizabeth called for help to catch the thief earlier, a crowd had gathered. The security


    guard also showed up and led her to the security room. He showed her the surveince footage.


    and confirmed the footage containing the thief.


    “Miss, we’ve gotten his photo. We’ll hand it to the police and inform you when he has been


    arrested.”
