Ralph immediately ordered, ‘TH search for it on my own. You can all leave now!" "B-But Mr. Russell told us to help,” one of the maids explained.
"It's fine! You don’t even know what the ring looks like! Besides, just because Alexander trusts you doesn't mean | do! My mother's ring cost a fortune and could even be considered our family heirloom. How would | know if you'd be tempted to keep it when you find it?" Ralph said to the maids rudely.
This unreasonable statement angered the maids, "Mr. Ralph, even though we're just maids, we still have our integrity intact. We've been in Mr. Russell's household for a long time, and there has never been a theft reported within this household. You shouldn't humiliate us like this." "Humiliate you? I've said that just because Alexander trusts you, doesn't mean | do. What you're looking for now is my mother's ring. If we still can't find it, are you willing to take the responsibility?” Ralph walked toward the living room, “If you letlook for it on my own, it won't be your responsibility if | can't find it, or else, we'll know who to blame!” The other maids stood in silence as no one wanted to bear the responsibility, but they were not willing to just leave either. Ralph was getting restless as they were only wasting precious time. Alexander's household was just like him, stubborn and uncompromising.

At that moment, Alexander's butler intervened, "Since Mr. Ralph insisted on finding the ring on his own, and Mr. Russell had also given us his instructions, we'll gladly leave you to your business." The other maids decided to listen to the butler and left.
The butler turned to Ralph and said politely, "Please take your tin your search. However, Mrs. Margaret did not leave the living room, so her ring is most likely here. The first floor is Mr. and Mrs. Russell's bedroom. Please refrain from intruding. Thank you for understanding!" "Fine, fine," Ralph said dismissively as he raised his head to look at the first floor. "Enough babbling, and leave now!" The butler just smiled at his rudeness and left. Ralph was left alone in the living room. Aside from the security cameras, there was pin-drop silence.
At first, Ralph was not sure where he should start, but what the butler said gave him sinformation. The best place to hide something was to hide it close to you. Ralph was sure that the thing he was looking for was definitely on the first floor, where their bedroom was!
