Chapter 446 Treasure Hunt
Nolan said, “We can take our time. There’s no rush.”
Eliza shook her head. “We have to rush. I still have to go back to class in a few days. I can’t keep skipping
Nolan had dropped out.
But she still had to finish school.
“Alright. I’ll help you.”
Nolan smiled gently.
The two of them knelt by the boxes and began searching through Emilia’s old belongings.
Even someone as worldly as Nolan was stunned when he saw how many boxes were filled with jewelry.
Eliza gaped. “Was my mom a jeweler or something? Why are there so many weird and extravagant pieces?”
Most of the contents were women’s accessories. Just looking at the boxes, it was obvious each one held something dazzling and expensive.
Eliza looked troubled.
“So… what kind of ring are we even looking for?”
Nolan already had over twenty rings in his hand without realizing it.
Staring at the pile of silver bands, Eliza suddenly felt overwhelmed.
After a long moment, she said, “Let’s get the catalog. We’ll compare them one by one.”
She needed to find out if the ring Mr. Felix wanted was among them.
“Alright.”
They’d brought the catalog with them this time.
Nolan started going through it, marking each ring off one by one.
By the time they reached the end, it was already dark outside.
Christian was crouched outside the room, trying to spy on what they were doing.
Then Ronaldo smacked him on the head with a hammer–shaped paperweight. “What are you doing?”
Christian jumped. “Ronaldo! What was that for?”
“I should be asking you that.”
Ronaldo grabbed him by the collar. “Did you already forget what Tristan said?”
“I’m just looking. I’m not messing with anything. I can’t even take a peek? That’s petty”
Christian flailed as he tried to get inside.

Just then, Eliza came out of the room and said, “Christian, Ronaldo perfect timing. Want to come in and help?”
She looked genuinely welcoming.
Ronaldo and Christian exchanged a look.
Something about this invitation felt suspicious.
Still, they followed her into Emilia’s room, half skeptical.
Ronaldo hadn’t been in that room in ages. The moment he stepped inside, a wave of familiarity washed over him.
Eliza thoughtfully brought over chairs for both of them.
Then she smiled sweetly. “I need you two to help me find a ring.”
“A ring?” Christian frowned. “There’s so much jewelry in here. What kind of ring are you looking for? Planning to get married already? Come on – Tristan might’ve agreed to you two being together, but don’t you think you’re rushing things a bit?”
“It’s not for a wedding. I’m looking for a specific ring. Henry’s father really wants it.”
The moment she mentioned that, their expressions turned serious.
“You’re saying that old man stirred up all that drama, even tried to marry you to Henry, all for this ring?” Christian said, stunned.
He suddenly felt like his brain couldn’t keep up.
Didn’t the Foster family already own everything? Why would Emilia’s belongings be so important?
Ronaldo asked, “Did you tell Tristan about this?”
“I didn’t. But I think he already knows.”
Eliza had no intention of hiding anything from the Sue family.
Both men nodded thoughtfully.
Then the four of them got to work.
Nolan, poor guy, had already checked off dozens of rings in the catalog.
And they still hadn’t matched them all.
Ten minutes later, Ronaldo and Christian were fully invested, helping sort through rings.
By dinnertime, the four of them were still buried in the search.
Halbert came into the sitting room to eat
–
only to find it empty.
Tristan had just come downstairs when Halbert asked, “Tristan, where is everyone?”
“Upstairs. Go get them. Tell them to stop for now and come eat.”
Cha
“Yes, Tristan.”
Halbert headed to the second floor and immediately saw a brightly lit room with its door oper
Several maids were crowded around the entrance, peeking in.
“I’ve never seen so much jewelry in one place.”
“I know, it’s incredible.”
“They say it’s worth billions.”
Hearing their chatter, Halbert pushed through the group and walked toward the room.
Inside, Eliza and her two brothers were digging through box after box. Every single ring had been pulled
out.
Even necklaces made of rings hadn’t been spared.
