Chapter 452
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 452<\/p>\n
She sweeps me a few disdainful glances and leaves.<\/p>\n
I can’t wait any longer, so I take out my phone and call Sabina.<\/p>\n
The first time I call, she doesn’t answer.<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t give up, so I call again.<\/p>\n
After a long time of waiting, she finally picks up.<\/p>\n
“What?” She asks impatiently on the other end of the phone.<\/p>\n
“Did you sell my ring?”<\/p>\n
I cut to the chase.<\/p>\n
With things getting this far, I don’t need to put this delicately.<\/p>\n
There is a long silence before voice comes from the other side. “Yes.”<\/p>\n
It’s her, indeed!<\/p>\n
But why would she do this? I honestly have no clue.<\/p>\n
“Why did you do that?” I ask sternly.<\/p>\n
“For money, of course. What else could it be?”<\/p>\n
“Are you serious? Aren’t you supposed to be rich? What are you going to do with this money?” I’m so curious that I keep asking.<\/p>\n
Fifteen million is a lot. It is more than enough to buy a nice house in Virginia.<\/p>\n
Sabina never needs to worry about money. Apart from messing with me, I can’t think of a better reason.<\/p>\n
“It has nothing to do with you.”<\/p>\n
Sabina says coldly before hanging up the phone.<\/p>\n
How can it have nothing to do with me? This ring belongs to me, and she just took it and sold it without saying a single word. In fact, it has everything to do with me!<\/p>\n
I’m not okay with it, so I call again but she refuses to answer.<\/p>\n
She turns her phone off.<\/p>\n
Sabina is avoiding me, but I can’t just stand by and do nothing with it.<\/p>\n
This ring is very important to me. Besides, I’m really curious about what she is going to do with the hefty sum.<\/p>\n
I always have a feeling there’s something going on with her. I can’t just leave it.<\/p>\n
Not long after, Frances comes to pick me up.<\/p>\n
After putting things into the car, we’re on our way home.<\/p>\n
I’m the snitch?<\/p>\n
That’s because I’m worried about her.<\/p>\n
But of course, and partly because it pains me to lose my ring.<\/p>\n
“Mom, open the door.” Frances says in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
“If you’re here for that ring, then go back. I’ve already sold it. If you are here for a reason, then I’m sorry. No comment this time.”<\/p>\n
I can hear her determination, even I can’t see her face.<\/p>\n
“Mom, I just want to know, what do you want so much money for?”<\/p>\n
“You don’t have to know. If you want the ring back, call the police. I can’t tell you more.”<\/p>\n
It becomes silent after that.<\/p>\n
Looks like she doesn’t want to talk to us.<\/p>\n
We have no choice but to leave.<\/p>\n
After getting Earl’s things ready, I am so tired that I lie on the bed. Suddenly, I think of Steven.<\/p>\n
“Well, have you got everything set up for Steven?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-476","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
