Chapter 10

When Dan pushed open the door, he saw Jane coming out of the kitchen with two dishes in hand.

When she saw him, she immediately put on a smile.

However, her smile was a little forced.

Dan washed his hands and sat at the table. After a day of training, he was hungry. The steaming food.

looked very appetizing.

He picked up his bowl and ate in big mouthfuls, while Jane sat quietly opposite him and did not

move.

“What happened?” He looked up at her.

Jane paused and shook her head slightly.

“Then hurry up and eat.” Dan picked up a piece of meat and placed it on her plate. “Can you get full

just by looking at it?”

Jane lowered her head and pursed her lips. She really had no appetite. At this time, her cell phone

buzzed. It was a message from her younger brother, Bailey: [Jane, when will you pay Mom’s bill? The

doctor is threatening to stop the medicine!]

Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at the drawer in the bedroom.

She had put all the gold jewelry that Dan had given her in it, especially the bracelet inlaid with gold and

jade. It should be worth a lot of money…

“Why are you thinking?” Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted her thoughts.

Jane came to her senses and suddenly met the man’s deep eyes. She couldn’t help trembling slightly.

For some reason, the unusual aura coming from Dan’s body always made her feel a strong sense of

oppression when she looked at him.

“Nothing…” she said softly.

Dan put down his bowl and utensils with a meaningful look in his eyes. “Do you have something to tell

me?”

Jane shook her head immediately.

Dan was patient. After looking at her for a while, he chuckled and continued to eat.

Since she didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t ask. Sooner or later, this girl would lose her cool. That

night, Jane’s mind was a mess. She read the message sent by Bailey over and over again, thinking of

countless ways to make some money, but she couldn’t come up with anything.

It was impossible to go back to the Fallon family to ask for money. So she could only…

She quietly closed the door, opened the drawer of the cabinet, and took out the carved wooden box.

The jewelry inside was shining under the moonlight. She took out the bracelet, hesitated for a long

time, and finally carefully wrapped it up and put it in her pocket.

“Well, it’s really good.” The assistant in the jewelry store nodded and chuckled “MISS, though your

bracelet is old-fashioned, fortunately, it’s classic and of high quality. It’s rare to see such good quality

gold and jade now.”

“How much is it worth?” Jane looked at her expectantly.

“Miss, do you mean as collateral?” The assistant smiled and took her to a small room inside.

There were a few professional instruments on the table. The assistant asked her to wait there for a

moment and then left.

Jane sat there and looked around. This jewelry store was so luxurious that it was beyond her

imagination.

In fact, she didn’t have much hope before she came here. After all, the bracelet looked old, and Dan

couldn’t give her anything good.

She didn’t expect that the staff here would ask her to stay.

She held the bracelet in her hand, going back and forth in her mind about what to do. Then she stood

up again and hesitated in the room.

She didn’t know that every little movement of hers had been clearly seen by the surveillance

cameras.

“Mr. White, this is an heirloom of the Campbell family… Would you like to bring this young lady here

now?”

Behind a large office desk, a man was watching a computer screen, and there was a playful smile on

his handsome face. He leaned hack and crossed his long legs on the table. He narrowed his eyes and

said with a smile, “Don’t worry, wait and see!”

“But what if she stole it?”

“I don’t think so.” Hector White sparked up a lighter and lit a cigarette. “I heard that Dominic got

married. This must be his little wife. Oh, he handed over such a valuable thing to her for safekeeping…

He must have not expected that his wife would show up here!”

“Mr. White, what should we do next?”

“Ask the shop assistant to name a price for her. 150,000 dollars.”

Jane waited anxiously for the shop assistant’s return. When the assistant saw her, she grinned and

said, “Miss, after our professional appraisal, it’s not a problem to loan you 150,000 dollars for this

bracelet.”

Jane’s ears buzzed, and she was stunned for 10 seconds.

150,000 dollars?

She clenched the bracelet tightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her delicate face.

The price was far beyond her expectations. She didn’t expect this piece of jewelry to be so valuable!

With 150,000 dollars, not to mention her mother’s medical expenses at this stage, even if their life in

the future would be easy, she could send Hailey to a better school…

But this was a wedding gift from Dan.

Jane’s heart skip ped a beat and she frowned slightly.

At this moment, the image of Dan handing the jewelry box to her suddenly flashed through her mind.

“This is all I have. I’ll leave it to you. From now on, you’ll be in charge of this house.”

She bit her lip and felt guilty. He had given her everything he had, how could she treat him so

insincerely?

“Miss, are you dissatisfied with the price?” The assistant carefully smiled. “If that’s the case, we can

discuss it further. How about this, I’ll show you the loan records here, you can take a look before…”

“I’ve

changed my mind! I won’t sell it.” Jane suddenly stood up and nimbly stuffed the bracelet back into her

bag.

The shop assistant was speechless.

Before the assistant could react, Jane had already run out of the jewelry store. Soon, her slender figure

disappeared into the busy street.

“Oh? She didn’t sell it?” A mocking voice came from upstairs in the jewelry store.

The shop assistant immediately turned around, bowed 90 degrees, and greeted him respectfully. “Mr.

White!”

narrowed his eyes slightly, and his handsome face was full of unruliness. He sat down on the sofa, took

out his phone, and smiled. “Dominic, your wife took your ancestral treasure to my shop. Did you know

that?”
