Chapter 447 The Missing Ring
Eliza picked out a few rings that could possibly be the one Mr. Felix was looking for. She pointed them out one by one. “This one is the most expensive. This one looks the most unique. And this one…”
“Wait.”
Ronaldo suddenly cut her off.
Frowning, he said, “Where’s this ring?”
At his question, the others quickly turned to look at the catalog in his hands.
This was already the third catalog of jewelry they’d gone through.
They’d been flipping too fast earlier and completely skipped the page.
When Eliza leaned in, the ring on the page looked vaguely familiar.
Looking more closely, she suddenly remembered – it was the ring Nolan had given her back at Leaf Corp.
She hadn’t brought it with her this time because it was too valuable. She hadn’t dared carry it around.
Even Halbert had mentioned that the ring was worth a fortune – one of Leaf Corp’s signature treasures.
She hadn’t expected it to have originally belonged to her mother.
It must have been sold off after her mother’s death, passed through many hands before ending up at Leaf Corp… and then bought by Nolan.
Christian looked puzzled. “So what is this? Lost and found? A miracle twist?”
“But I’ve seen that ring,” Eliza said. “It didn’t look all that special.”
Just as she said that, Halbert knocked on the door.
He’d been standing there for a while, watching them make a mess.
No dignity from the Sue family heirs. No composure from their precious daughter.
Clearly, Eliza was the one who had corrupted her two brothers.
“Tristan says it’s time to eat. Clean this up and come down right away.”
With that, Halbert turned and left.
Eliza glanced at the floor full of rings.
It’d probably take at least twenty more minutes to clean up.
Meanwhile.
Downstairs in the dining room,
Halbert had returned to his seat.
The Missing Ring
Tristan hadn’t touched his fork yet.
Naturally, Halbert didn’t dare move either.
About twenty minutes later, Eliza and the others finally came downstairs.
Ronaldo and Christian looked a little embarrassed.
This was the first time they’d ever made Tristan wait for dinner.
He usually wasn’t someone who got angry.
But they weren’t sure this time.
Eliza and Nolan sat down in the seats closest to Tristan.
Once Eliza was seated, Tristan finally began eating.
Christian noticed Tristan didn’t look mad at all.
In their household, meals always started on time. No one ever made others wait.
But Tristan had waited today and hadn’t said a word.
―
Their little sister really was special. She got away with things no one else could.
“Are you going to tell Tristan about the ring?” Christian asked quietly.
The moment the word “ring” came up, Christian’s hand holding his fork froze.
Eliza said, “Henry’s father seems to be after one of my mother’s rings. I just don’t know what it looks like. We searched for a long time earlier and only realized that the one Nolan gave me had been bought by the Leaf family as their signature piece. We’re not sure if that’s the one.”
“I’ve never heard of Emilia owning any ring like that,” Tristan said calmly. “You’ll have to investigate it yourselves. Or bring the ring here – I’ll have someone look into it.”
“Okay.”
Eliza agreed right away.
With Tristan’s help, things would move much faster.
“I’ll go get the ring,” Nolan said. “If it’s that important, I don’t feel comfortable asking someone else to bring
it.”
“I’ll go with-”
Before Eliza could finish, Tristan said, “If Mr. Hayes is going himself, that puts me more at ease.”
Nolan didn’t waste a second. He hadn’t even finished his meal before asking someone to book his flight.
After walking him to the door, Eliza returned inside and couldn’t help complaining to Tristan, “Couldn’t you at least let him finish eating before sending him off?”
She’d thought Tristan liked Nolan, but clearly, he was still keeping him at arm’s length.

“You don’t come home often. Now that you’re back, stay a few more days. Your brothers have all missed you.”
Most of the Sue family businesses were based overseas, and they didn’t have time to travel to Westbrook to
visit her.
Eliza understood that. Ever since she’d rejoined the family, she’d moved back to Westbrook right away. She hadn’t spent much time with her brothers.
This trip was mostly about getting things done with her brothers didn’t seem like such a bad idea.
“Alright. Then I’ll stay and keep you company.”
but since it might take a day or two more, staying home
She looked sweet and obedient, but Halbert muttered from the side, “Yeah right. Your heart already flew off with Nolan.”
