Cindy strode through the front door just then, carrying shopping bags of various sizes.


    “Where have you been, Cindy?” Gina asked.


    Cindy grinned. “Shopping–talk to youter, Aunt Gina. I’m busy.”


    However, just before she headed upstairs, she spotted the red diamond ne on the tea table.


    “Woah!” she eximed as she put down her shopping bags and ran straight for the ne, picking it


    up. “This is a red diamond, isn’t it?”


    “Naturally.” Gina smiled smugly. “It’s worth over twenty million dors.”


    At those words, Cindy brazenly sling it around her neck and asked Gina, “Does it look good on me,


    Aunt Gina?”


    Gina had an awkward look on her face right then. “Oh, uh… Yeah.”


    “Lend it to me for a couple days then.” Cindy giggled.


    Gina frowned right then. “Chris gave it to Helen. It’s not really good if you wear it I can buy you


    something else if you really like it.”


    Peter snorted in disdain beside her. “Take it off right now. It’s not yours


    Cindy leveled a wounded look at Helen right then, though she soon had an idea.


    “Oh, it’s yours, Helen?” she eximed, suddenly clinging on Helen’s arm. “Y’know, I’ve never won


    something so amazing… And you’re not going to wear it anyway, so why not lend it to me for a couple


    of days?”


    “Take it off,” Helen said, frowning. “I’m going to return it to Chris.”


    “Why return something this good?” Cindy leveled her a look of bemusement and thought about it. “Just


    let me use it for a couple days anyway–you can give it back when Chris visits again.”


    “What…” Helen was left speechless.


    Her cousin was so thick–skinned!


    Since her coaxing did not work on Helen, Cindy promptly made a wounded look again and hugged


    Gina’s arm. “Come on, Aunt Gina. Your family’s rich now–surely you’re willing to lend me a little


    ne, right? It’s not like I’m taking it for myself.”


    Gina scratched her head. “Fine, fine… You can borrow it for a couple days.”


    “Thank you so much, Aunt Gina! You’re the best!”


    Cindynded a big smooch on Gina’s cheek before running upstairs with the red diamond ne.


    Vi’s birthday party would be held in a couple days.


    If she wore this ne and attended it, who knew if she could find a rich husband?


    At the same time, Helen sighed exasperatedly and left for her office.

    “Mom, that ne is worth twenty million!” Peter cried indignantly just then. “How could you let Cindy


    take it just like that?”


    “Oh, she’s just borrowing it for a couple of days,” Gina quickly waved him off. “She’ll return it anyway.”

    Frank arrived at a snack bar alone in the evening and had just made an order when a man entered.


    Upon a closer look, it was actually a familiar face.


    Frank waved at him. “Mr. Lawrence.”


    It was none other than Fred Lawrence, who was surprised to see Frank as well. “Oh, it’s you.”


    “Having dinner?”


    “Yeah.”


    “Come join me,” Frank invited.


    Fred thought about it and ordered a fruit crepe before sitting opposite Frank.


    “You work nearby?” Frank asked.


    Frank nodded. “Yeah. My office is closed… Though I’m surprised you would frequent a snack. bar like


    this one, Mr. Lawrence.


    In Fred’s mind, only grunts such as himself would eat at snack bars like this.


    If anything, it was curious that someone with power and money like Frank woulde here.


    Frank chuckled. “Oh, we’re all just ordinary citizens, aren’t we? What’s the difference in where We


    eat?”
