Chapter 419 A Mountain of Records
“Naomi?”
Eliza thought about it carefully and quickly figured it out.
They must have realized the ring she gave them was fake, which was why they went after Naomi.

Back when her mother died, all her inheritance had been taken by Naomi’s parents. So it made sense they’d go to the Hartwell family to find Naomi.
“So? Did they find it?”
“No. All the rings and inheritance were sold off by that Rivers woman.”
“Of course.”
Eliza had expected that.
The Rivers family would never pass up a chance to make easy money.
So the ring had probably already been sold off years ago.
“Do you know where it was sold?”
“No.”
“Can it be tracked?”
“Yes.”
“Then why don’t you-”
“You do it yourself.”
And with that, Matteo hung up.
Eliza stared at her phone, grinding her teeth.
That Matteo!
He really didn’t want to lift a finger for anything that might inconvenience him.
After thinking it over, Eliza went and knocked on Halbert’s door.
When he opened it and saw her standing there in pajamas, he asked, “What is it?”
“Halbert, I need a favor. I want you to help me look into-”
“No time.”
He tried to shut the door.
Eliza stuck her hand out and blocked it. “We’re siblings, aren’t we? If you won’t help me, I’ll just have to ask Tristan.”

She looked pitiful enough.
Halbert hesitated, then finally asked, “What is it?”
“I want to know where the Rivers family sold all my mom’s belongings after she died.”
“That’s it? You need me for something that small?”

Halbert said, “Westbrook isn’t exactly big. There are only a handful of places with the money to buy up everything Emilia left behind.”
Eliza’s eyes lit up.
Of course!
“Thanks, Halbert!”
As she left, she even kindly closed his door for him.
The next morning, Eliza went straight to the biggest pawnshops in Westbrook.
These were the kinds of places that dealt in antiques and high–end jewelry.
The moment she walked in, she was warmly greeted.
Who in that circle didn’t know the Sue family’s heiress?
She sat on a leather sofa and calmly asked, “Where’s your manager?”
“Ms. Sue, I’m the manager here.”
The man who approached her looked respectful and earnest.
Eliza nodded casually. “You’re not high–ranking enough. Bring me a manager with over twenty years of experience.”
The man didn’t take offense. He just immediately went to call over their most senior manager.
Eliza leaned back and waited.
A few minutes later, a man in his fifties came over. “Ms. Sue, I’m the manager here. My name is Zhang. Are you looking to sell something?”
“I’m not here to sell. I’m here to buy.”
Eliza looked at Mr. Brandon and said, “This is the biggest pawnshop in Westbrook. About nineteen years ago, did someone pawn off a batch of very valuable jewelry here?”
Mr. Brandon paused in surprise.
“How do you know that?”
He explained, “Yes, about nineteen years ago, someone did pawn a large amount of jewelry here. Quite a lot, actually. Do you know which pieces you’re looking for?”
“I,want them all.”

Mr. Brandon blinked in surprise. But remembering the Sue family’s wealth, he wasn’t shocked for long-
As he sent someone to fetch the records, Eliza asked, “I’m curious–how do you remember something from nineteen years ago so clearly?”
“Because even though we get lots of wealthy clients, that was the only time someone pawned off that much in one go. Just evaluating and cataloging it all took our entire staff three full days and nights. That’s why I remember it so well.”
“That much?”
Eliza was starting to worry if her wallet was thick enough to handle it.
A few moments later, the manager returned with a huge ledger.
It was a thick book–easily a few pounds.
Seeing it, Eliza let out a small sigh of relief. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that bad.
But then more staff came in, one after another, each placing more books in front of her.
Each one was the same thickness, and soon, the stack towered over her like a mountain.
Eliza’s eye twitched. “That much?”
