The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeances

Chapter 452 The Fake Ring

Zayden didn’t say a word. He just turned and walked out of the Tames estate.

Tracy wasn’t surprised at all. She’d grown used to this kind of reaction from him.

Whenever Zayden didn’t want to hear what she had to say, he walked away. But really, what did it matter? In the end, didn’t he always come crawling back?

They were in Solara, after all. And she was the one holding onto all his passports and IDs.

Zayden had nowhere to go.

It was late–well past midnight.

Eliza stepped out into the courtyard to get some air, and that’s when she saw Zayden leaving the Tames residence.

The Tames family had been living on the Sue family’s estate, so it wasn’t exactly rare to bump into each other.

She frowned. “What are you doing out here?” Shouldn’t he be inside with Tracy?

Zayden met her eyes, and the image of what Tracy had done flashed through his mind.

“I… couldn’t sleep.”

“Oh.” Eliza nodded. “Makes sense.”

“You can’t sleep either?”

“It’s nothing serious. Just something small.”

Zayden noticed she wasn’t planning to mention anything about the missing ring. After a short pause, he said, “If it’s something small, don’t let it keep you up. Get some sleep. Things might look better tomorrow.”

If Tracy’s plan worked, she’d probably hand the ring over to Tristan tomorrow.

Sure, Nolan hadn’t delivered it himself, but the result would be the same either way.

But something about the way Zayden spoke made Eliza pause. It was like he knew something she didn’t–or maybe he was hiding something himself.

She narrowed her eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing,” he replied quickly.

Zayden didn’t want to be alone with her too long. Before she could say more, he turned and walked back toward the Tames estate.

The next morning, a package arrived for Tracy from Westbrook.

She unwrapped it carefully–and inside was a single ring.

The stone glowed a deep crimson, perfectly cut and gleaming like it belonged in a royal collection

No wonder Tristan had been so eager to see it for himself.

Smiling, Tracy closed the ring box and tucked it away. She’d deliver it to Tristan as soon as the moment was right.

Just then, Nolan rushed in from outside, looking exhausted. He’d probably caught the earliest flight he could find.

“Well? Did you find the ring?” Eliza asked as she met him in the living room.

Nolan shook his head. “The security footage shows someone’s silhouette, but they were clearly prepared. We couldn’t get a clear shot of their face. No idea who slipped in and took it.”

Eliza nodded slowly. “Whoever could pull that off in your house… definitely not just some ordinary thief.

Before they could say more, Tracy and Zayden entered from the front door.

“What’s going on?” Tracy asked, her voice full of fake concern. “Did something happen?” Eliza was about to brush her off with an excuse, but Tracy pressed on. “I think I overheard Mr. Hayes say something about a missing ring. Is it that one from the Leaf Corp banquet? The one he gave you?”

Eliza’s eyes narrowed. “You know about that?”

How could Tracy possibly know? She wasn’t around during yesterday’s conversation with Nolan and the others. Just then, Tristan came downstairs, followed by Ronaldo and Christian. Only Halbert was missing.

“Tristan. Ronaldo. Christian,” Tracy said, greeting each of them with a sweet smile.

Tristan simply nodded, cold and indifferent.

The other two weren’t any warmer. But Tracy was used to it by now. She smiled anyway and pulled out the small ring box.
