Chapter 46

As soon as the escalator took Elizabeth to the fourth floor, she took the escalator down again, makingAdeline 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 ofthe 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 fearthat her master would wander off again.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth sighed. She must be going mad from wanting a grandchild so badly. How couldshe 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 ifsomeone 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 youngwoman already had kids.

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 shouldbe the right move.

However, Elizabeth had already lost the mood to shop, feeling somewhat upset at the thought of Isaacbeing 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 chauffeurpick them up at the entrance.

Adeline was somewhat dejected, but she dared not say anything and followed Elizabeth back to theArnold Manor.

While all that was happening, Patricia was in the pawnshop above the indoor playground. “How muchcan 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 beworth a pretty penny. Even if the ring was second-hand, it could still come up to a good two million. Shewasn’t hoping for much, and she just hoped she could get half a million out of it to cure Poppy of herillness.

At that, the pawnbroker took the ring from her and checked it under UV light before bringing it to theirboss. 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 mostchallenging time. However, she wanted to help Poppy and Darcie since they were in such a horriblesituation.

She 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 ofwaiting.

That was why she finally decided to take this ring out. While studying the ring in her hand, she thoughtshe 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 snatchedthe ring away.

Patricia ran after him in response, but because she was in heels and had also sprained her ankleamidst the chase, she failed to catch the thief. She almost cried from indignation. That thing issupposed 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 andtook her to the security office. After checking the surveillance footage and locking onto the target, theyturned to her and said, “Miss, we’ve taken a screenshot of his face. We’ll send it to the police and notifyyou once we catch him.”
