However, what Tina didn’t know was that the woman who had barged into her room ran to the corridor sneakily afterward. She started whispering with everyone else about something mysterious. “Are you sure? That’s impossible, right? There are no such things as coincidences in this C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Yeah! Did you maybe see it wrong?” The truth was that someone had read important news from the day’s newspapers. Samuel Langford, the CEO of the Langford Group, had issued a bounty with great rewards in hopes of tracldng down a despicable thief. Apparently, that bold thief had stolen a pigeon egg diamond ring from him. Since it was a priceless piece of jewelry, anyone who could provide him with vital information that could allow him to retrieve the ring could walk away with a million dollars. Of course, the thief would not be spared. Anyone who managed to catch the thief would be rewarded four million dollars. Altogether, Samuel would be rewarding five million dollars for both the ring and the thief. The woman said confidently, “That’s impossible! I’d never mistake it for something else. She was definitely holding the pigeon egg diamond ring. That woman is definitely weird! Now that I think about it, she resembles the woman on the bounty…” The other two men were starting to believe the woman’s words. One of them pulled out the newspapers and started studying the bounty.
Two pictures were printed on the bounty alongside words.

One was a picture of the pigeon egg diamond ring, whereas the other was a woman’s picture. She looked like a fairly young woman with child-like features, as though she had yet to fully mature. All in all, she looked like any other normal woman.
“she doesn’t look like the woman in this picture. They’re definitely two different people.” The crowd started doubting the woman’s words again.
It wasn’t their fault they couldn’t recognize Tina’s face in the newspapers. Five years ago, the Lynd family hated Tina very much. It was rare for her to have pictures of herself. Most of the time, Pearl would make fun of her, causing her to look ragged and dirty, before snapping pictures of her. That was the reason why the woman in the newspapers looked very normal. Having gone through five rough years of life’s training, Tina’s aura made her look like a completely different person than she was before. “What if this is her original appearance before plastic surgery?”
Jealousy coated the woman’s tone, who sounded like she looked down on Tina the whole time. Then, she continued, “Whatever. I did see the pigeon egg diamond ring with my own eyes!
Both of you just have to follow me into her room and pin her down. Don’t let anyone discover our plan. If I’m able to dig out the pigeon egg diamond ring from her pocket, that means we have both the thief and the missing item in our grasp. We’ll be able to receive five million dollars! “You’re right!” The other two men were moved by the mention of five million dollars.
After all, the reward wasn’t fifty grand or five hundred grand. It was a whopping sum of five million dollars!
The men had spent so long working for an illegal factory nearby. Even if they worked their asses off for the rest of their lives, they were still unable to earn that much money. Hence, the small group decided to act in the middle of the night. That was when Tina’s guard was completely down. At night, Tina couldn’t hold on any longer, so she fell into a deep sleep Suddenly, sounds of a lock getting picked could be heard coming from the outside. Tina instantly woke up. She gripped the rod that she used to defend
herself tightly as she yelled, “Who’s there?!” A woman’s voice drifted from outside the door. “It’s me. I need to talk to you about something. Open up.”

voice. It was the same woman who had barged into her room earlier that day.
She was instantly alert and put up her guard. “What is it? Just talk to me through the door!” “Are you sure? Take a look at the newspapers!” The woman slid the newspapers through the gap under the door. Tina could recognize the picture of herself that was taken five years ago instantly.
