NovelEnglishAs soon as the escalator took Elizabeth to the fourth floor, she took the escalator down again, making
Adeline and the Arnold Family’s maid panic.
“Where are you going, Old Mrs. Arnold?”
“Please slow down, Old Mrs. Arnold.”
While the two of them chased after the elderly lady, Elizabeth circled the entire playground in search of
the two boys but to no avail.
At that, she stood in the same spot disappointedly until the maid and Adeline caught up to her.
“Old Mrs. Arnold, please slow down. What if you fall?” The maid hurriedly held Elizabeth’s arm for fear
that her master would wander off again.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth sighed. She must be going mad from wanting a grandchild so badly. How could
she think that the boys were Isaac’s long-lost sons just because they looked like him at first glance?
Elizabeth was certain she was getting crazy the longer she thought about it. This is absurd. As if
someone as smart as Isaac wouldn’t know if he got someone pregnant!
Besides, he never dated any woman until Tricia showed up in their lives. It was a shame the young

No one would willingly see their grandson date a woman who was once married and even had children,
especially when he was an outstanding man like Isaac.
“Are you tired, Old Mrs. Arnold? Why don’t we go and have some tea?” Adeline suggested with a smile.
It suddenly hit her that shopping might be too much for someone Elizabeth’s age, but having tea should
be the right move.
However, Elizabeth had already lost the mood to shop, feeling somewhat upset at the thought of Isaac
being a bachelor and her husband still bed-ridden.
“Let’s go home,” she announced plainly. With that, the maid pulled her phone out and had the chauffeur
pick them up at the entrance.
Adeline was somewhat dejected, but she dared not say anything and followed Elizabeth back to the
Arnold Manor.
…
While all that was happening, Patricia was in the pawnshop above the indoor playground. “How much
can I get for this?” she asked the pawnbroker after pulling out the ring.
She had checked online before coming, and according to the internet, diamonds like this could be
worth a pretty penny. Even if the ring was second-hand, it could still come up to a good two million. She
wasn’t hoping for much, and she just hoped she could get half a million out of it to cure Poppy of her
illness.
At that, the pawnbroker took the ring from her and checked it under UV light before bringing it to their
boss. After a chat, the boss came to Patricia. “I can offer you two hundred thousand for this, miss.”
Patricia shook her head in response. “Five hundred thousand.”
“In that case, I’m afraid we can’t take it,” said the shopkeeper after taking another glance at the ring,
which Patricia held in her hand now. It was clearly worth a solid two million from what she read online,
but two hundred thousand?!
No, that’s just plain deceiving. I’m desperate, not an idiot.
Thus, she got up and left the pawn shop, heading straight for the elevator.
In actuality, she never even thought about selling this ring away when she was going through her most
challenging time. However, she wanted to help Poppy and Darcie since they were in such a horrible
situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe thought Poppy’s life was more important than waiting for that sc*mbag to come looking for her.
Besides, he never showed up when she had waited all these years.
Whether it was all in her head or not, she only felt hatred for this mysterious sc*mbag after six years of
waiting.
That was why she finally decided to take this ring out. While studying the ring in her hand, she thought
she should check out other pawn shops and see if she could get a better price for it.
However, just as she was about to put the ring in her bag, a person came out of nowhere and snatched
the ring away.
Patricia ran after him in response, but because she was in heels and had also sprained her ankle
amidst the chase, she failed to catch the thief. She almost cried from indignation. That thing is
supposed to save Poppy’s life, that b*stard of a thief!
Many crowded around Patricia when they heard her shouting thief. The mall security came as well and
took her to the security office. After checking the surveillance footage and locking onto the target, they
turned to her and said, “Miss, we’ve taken a screenshot of his face. We’ll send it to the police and notify
you once we catch him.”
