I walk to the balcony and whisper to Mindy on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell me, what&#8217;s the situation now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I hurriedly ask, eager to know what is going on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sabina seems to be short of money lately. She has sold all her properties and belongings that can be sold. I&#8217;ve seen her around Golden Bay recently. Looks like she wants to buy a piece of land there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why does she want to buy a piece of land?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you find out why?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know. I asked David about that piece of land, and it would cost at least eighty million. Sabina has made a lot of money by her touring performance. But she doesn&#8217;t save much money now because she spent a lot. It is difficult for her to buy the land. However, if she really wants that land, she could ask Frances for it. That&#8217;s not a problem for Frances. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So Sabina is short of money. No wonder she took my ring and sold it.<\/p>\n<p>However, she hasn&#8217;t asked Frances for money. Perhaps she doesn&#8217;t want Frances to know. In other words, she doesn&#8217;t want old Mr. Louis to know.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I guess I know now.<\/p>\n<p>However, what should I do?<\/p>\n<p>Should I tell Frances? If not, could I never get my engagement ring back?<\/p>\n<p>All of a sudden, I don&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>I sigh and continue to ask Mindy, &#8220;What about Hilda? Did you check on her?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just wanted to tell you. There&#8217;s definitely something wrong with her!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The information provided by Mindy has no other use than to prove that Hilda is not an ordinary person.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, I see. If it&#8217;s okay, please continue to investigate what she&#8217;s doing in the United States.&#8221; I whisper.<\/p>\n<p>Frances\u2019 footsteps could already be heard clearly from inside. I say goodbye to Mindy and hang up the phone hurriedly.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want Frances to know about me investigating Hilda or Sabina.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a little cold in the morning. What are you doing on the balcony?&#8221; Frances\u2019 concerned voice sounds behind me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing. I just want to get some fresh air.&#8221; I turn around and smile calmly at Frances.<\/p>\n<p>After I walk in, Frances hurriedly touches my hands to make sure they weren&#8217;t cold before letting go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go. I&#8217;ll take you to mom.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-486","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/486","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=486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
