Chapter 614 What a Dumb Thief!

Meanwhile, at the Saunders Residence…

Today was the last day before Edwin had to pay off his debts, but he only had less than 600,000 in his bank account, with the divorce compensation offered by David included. In other words, he was still 1.9 million short. Early that morning, he quietly came downstairs carrying a big traveling bag before the servants even got up.

However, just as he reached the gate, Mrs. Woods suddenly called out to him. “Are you leaving the house so early in the morning, Master Edwin?”

Edwin nervously gulped a mouthful of saliva before turning around to face her with a forced smile. “Yeah. I enrolled in a postgraduate course, so I have to go to college early to do some studying. I’ve got to improve myself so that I can take better care of Nana in the future.”

For a second, Mrs. Woods’ eyes rested on the big traveling bag Edwin was carrying. Then, she replied meaningfully, “I see. That’s very ambitious of you. In that case, come home early this evening. I’ll make you something delicious and nourishing.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Woods. I will.” Edwin gave her a polite smile. Then, he turned around, opened the gate, and walked out in haste.

However, no sooner had he left than Mrs. Woods headed for David’s room upstairs…

As soon as the pawn shop opened for business at 8:00AM sharp, Edwin rushed in. “Sir, please take a look at how much these things are worth!” he said while putting the traveling bag on the counter. Then, he unzipped the bag, revealing its contents.

The pawnbroker had a discerning eye for gemstones, so he noticed at a glance that the jade ornament in the traveling bag was out of the ordinary. He asked in surprise, “Are you serious about selling these?”
