Never See You Again

“Of course not. It I were siding with the Brooks family, I wouldn’t have taught Ms. Hoffman how to protect her rights in the first place.”

Mia asked in confusion, “Then Ms. Scott, what are you here for?”

“I came to ask you three about your thoughts on this ring.”

“Thoughts?” Mia glanced at Noah, then forced a smile. “Our Hoffman family is just a small household. Since the ring is so valuable, we have no reason to refuse it. We’ll accept it.”

Seeing that Mia was satisfied, Marve turned to Noah and asked, “Mr. Hoffman, do you agree?”

“If the ring is sold, it would fetch a lot of money. I have no objections,” Noah replied. As a businessman with a small business, he might never earn as much as the ring’s worth in his entire life, so he agreed.

Maeve continued, “This ring is indeed worth a billion, but if it falls into your family’s hands, selling it might not be so easy.”

Mia was puzzled and asked, “Ms. Scott, what do you mean by that? The ring is perfectly fine. Why would it be hard to sell?”

The ring was clearly of excellent quality and was a century old item. If auctioned, it would surely bring in a substantial income.

Marve smiled. “Mrs. Hoffman, it seems like you don’t fully understand the jewelry market. No matter how precious this sapphire is, it’s mainly for collectors. If you can’t find the right buyer, you’ll end up losing out.”

“Think about it, Mes Hoffman. Why

by would Mrs. Brooks S

cash?”

Senior give away such a valuable item so easily? Doesn’t she know it’s w

worth way more than

Mia fell silent at Marve’s words. Even a fool knew that such a treasure was far more valuable than cash. Anyone in their right mind would rather give cash than something so precious.

“I believe Mrs. Brooks Senior knows exactly what she’s doing. The Brooks family is famous not just in business but in the auction world too. If she doesn’t want you to sell this ring, no one will dare to buy it.

“If you can’t sell the ring, it’ll just sit there, useless. Then, in your desperation, Mrs. Brooks Senior can have someone buy it for a low price, making it worth far less than its actual value.”

Everyone was shocked by Maeve’s explanation

Noah, in particular, furned and said, “The Brooks family is truly cunning!”

“M–Ms. Scott, what should we do now?” Cecilia asked.

Yes, should we accept the ring or not?” Mia added

Understanding the Brooks family’s scheming nature, Cecilia stepped forward to take Maeve’s hand. “Ms. Scott, I was wrong before. Please don’t hold it against me. Help our family, please…”

Maeve said, “I came here to help the Hoffman family.”

“That’s wonderful! Ms. Scott, just tell us what to do, and we’ll do it!”

re to act on it.”

“I do have a plan, but it depends on whether Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman have the courage:

“Tell us! We’ll definitely do it!” Mia exclaimed.

“Alright, I need you both to take this ring to Brooks Manor tomorrow and make a scene”

Mia was taken aback. “Make a scene again?

They had already caused a commotion today. Even though Hailey had backed down a bit, the Brooks family wasn’t one to be messed with easily. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
