I’ve Seen The Ring Before
It was almost after midnight Maurice was sitting by the French window in his riverside villa, browsing
through the documents in his laptop.
Corbin rushed to him in a hurry and reported, "Mr, Moran, Gerald’s men were spotted around the old
mansion.And I am sure that they must be looking for that ring."
"Whatever."
Maurice did not even raise his head.His uncle’s efforts would be completely futile.His men had already
searched the old mansion, and they did not find a thing.
Thus, he didn’t think that his uncle would find any clue.
Once Maurice was done looking at the documents, he subconsciously clicked on a photo.
A gentle-looking woman was holding a child.
There was a ring on her finger in the picture.
Maurice unconsciously enlarged the ring in the photo several times.
The ring had a very simple design all over.It was frosted, and decorated with natural gemstones and
quaint patterns.
Besides the fact that it was the thing that his mother had left him, it was also something that
represented the supreme power of his family.
If someone had really taken it on purpose, then they would have enough power on their hands to turn
the situation around in the corporate world.
"Eh? I’ve seen this ring before."
A child’s weak voice attracted their attention.
Silas stood beside Maurice as he gazed at the screen, tilting his head.
Maurice immediately enlarged the ring in the picture again, showed it to him, and asked seriously,
"Have you really seen it before? Where did you see it?"
However, Silas snorted and turned around.
"I forgot."
"Silas."
Maurice narrowed his eyes at him.
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Corbin immediately pulled Silas away, and said, "The ring
is ancient, and I doubt Mr.Gorman ever saw it."
He winked at Silas, who rolled his eyes at him.
Seeing that, Corbin was embarrassed.
‘Well, I did it for nothing, I guess.! “
"Silas is not a child who would talk nonsense."
Maurice’s mellow voice came, and Silas became stiff for a moment before he slowly lifted his head and
looked at his uncle.
"Don’t pretend like you know me well!"
With a sigh, Maurice reached out to touch Silas’s head.
However, Silas turned away, dodging him.
Maurice smiled and ordered Corbin, "Go and check if he’s right.I want you to investigate everyone he’s
met, including his kindergarten classmates."
"Yes, sir!"
Saying that, Corbin nodded and left.
Maurice lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers.
All of a sudden, he remembered the two children he had seen Silas talking to at the bakery… Did the
ring have anything to do with those kids? Meanwhile, Eliana opened the door, and saw that it was dark
inside.
‘Are they all asleep?’ She felt guilty.
A lot had happened since that morning, and she had come home late.
Hence, she could not spend time with her children.She did not notice that the room door was open, and
warm light was coming from the gap.
"Mommy! Happy birthday!"
