The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 420

A Hundred Billion in Heirlooms

“If Ms. Sue wants to see them, we didn’t dare delay. So we brought out all the ledgers from back then.”

Eliza opened one of the books. It even had photos, along with notes about the item’s age and origin, and whether there was a story behind it.

She wasn’t interested in any of that. She just wanted to find that ring as soon as possible. If she really had to buy back all of her mother’s possessions… how much money would that cost?

Eliza felt a headache coming on. How rich had her mother been to own this much?

And every one of these items was now worth at least seven figures.

Not to mention there were so many volumes.

Thinking about it now, Naomi’s parents really had been wasteful.

They sold off so many treasures, and yet managed to blow through all that money in just over ten years.

Eliza shut the book in her hands. There was no way she could count all this stuff. She asked bluntly, “If I wanted to buy everything here, how much would it cost?”

The manager held up a hand.

Eliza let out a long breath. “One billion?”

“Ten billion.”

When she heard that number, Eliza felt like the sky was falling.

Her mom had been that rich–so why had she married her dad of all people?

“I-”

Before she could finish, a familiar voice cut in: “We’ll take it all.”

Eliza turned, surprised.

She hadn’t told Halbert she was coming. How did he know?

“Halbert?”

Halbert looked a little surprised to be caught. He said calmly, “We’ve seen the inventory. As long as it’s verified to be your mother’s belongings, we’ll take everything.”

“But…”

Ten billion wasn’t a small number.

Were they really going to buy all of it?

Halbert pulled out a bank card and handed it to the manager. “I want Tristan to confirm each item belongs to Madam Evelyn before we take them.”

“Of course, Mr. Sue. Everything here comes with a certificate of authentication and proof of origin. There

won’t be any mistakes.”

Besides, no pawnshop would dare try to scam someone from the Sue family.

Halbert took a seat next to Eliza. She whispered, “You’re really buying all of it? That much stuff?”

“It’s not me. It’s Tristan.”

Halbert said flatly, “Anything related to Madam Evelyn–Tristan wants it all brought back.”

Eliza felt a bit bitter. “All that money is just making the Rivers family rich.

“Now you get it? Naomi’s parents made off like bandits. We need to make them cough it all back up.”

“They already spent it all years ago.”

Eliza shook her head.

32 Pearls

The Rivers family had squandered everything. All the money they got from selling her mother’s belongings -completely gone.

She turned to Halbert. “But seriously, how did you know I was here?”

“I followed you.”

Halbert said blandly, “You asked me about this last night, and then ran out this morning. I figured you wanted to buy back Madam Evelyn’s things. What I really want to know is, why the sudden interest?”

After learning she was Emilia’s daughter, Eliza had never shown any desire to recover her mother’s belongings.

But last night, out of nowhere, she showed up at his apartment asking where they’d been sold.

Even a fool would think something was up.

Eliza gave a sheepish smile. “Just a random thought…”

“More like not so random. You already called Tristan this morning. If you won’t tell me, feel free to explain. it to him yourself.”

Explain to Tristan?
