"No." The bruiser hurriedly shook his head, "We didn't get the wrong person. The one in the photo is definitely her. I just don't know why she is blind now."
The effeminate man heard him out. His look softened, but his eyes remained scary.
"Okay, now that we've found her, let's go for now. Next, we'll keep an eye on this woman, figure out her daily routine, and then get her. Once she is in our hands, I don't think Caybel will stand by," the effeminate man said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, Fourth Young Master." The bruiser chested out.
The effeminate man stopped talking and closed his appalling eyes.
The bruiser started the car and drove off.
About to enter the apartment building, Sydney suddenly halted and looked back. Her pretty brows were knitted together.
Erika looked at her in confusion. "Is anything wrong?"
"I feel like someone was watching me," Sydney said with uncertainty, her lips slightly parting.
Erika followed her to look back but found no suspicious person. She took her gaze back and said, "No one is there. It may be a false feeling.” "Maybe." Sydney nodded thoughtfully.
Although she said so, the strange, subtle feeling lingered.
Ever since she lost her eyesight, her senses had become sharper. She could sense it when people were looking at her. True or false, it was yet to be verified.
At the Flint Mansion.
Julien came in from outside. At the sight of him, Velma, who was watching TV on the sofa and laughing, got up in surprise." Julien, you're back."
"I’m back for some things," Julien said.
"What is it?" Velma asked.
Julien checked his watch. "My mother's belongings. Alright, I have to stop talking to you because there's a meeting for me to attend."
With that, he went upstairs.
Velma was left there watching him with swiveling eyes.
His mother's belongings?
What for?
Julien's biological mother was the daughter of the Harrow family. After she married into the Flint family 32 years ago, the Harrow family went broke.
Before that, the Harrow family was just slightly weaker than the Flint family. When she married Alexander, the value of her dowry was equal to one-third of the Flint family assets.
After the death of Julien's biological mother, her dowry became an inseparable part of the assets of the Flint Corporation, but her priceless jewelry had been locked up in a room on the third floor where she was living.
Velma was coveting the jewelry, but Old Madam Flint had warned her against getting her hands on the jewelry, or else she would be kicked out of the Flint family. After all, Alexander’s death meant the end of their marriage.
She didn’t want to be driven away and thus suppressed her desire for those jewels.
Besides, her guilt for Julien's mother had been preventing her from thinking about those jewels.
While she was lost in thought, movements were heard coming from the staircase.
Velma raised her head and saw Julien coming down with a jewelry box.
She trotted over and asked, "What kind of jewelry did you take? Can I take a look?"
"Yeah." Julien nodded before handing the box to her.
Velma hurriedly took the box and opened it. As soon as she saw the emerald jewelry inside, she gasped, "Gosh, this emerald... should be worth a lot of money!"
"It's one of the jewelry given by my grandma. The full set is worth 150 million dollars," Julien said casually.
In shock, Velma swallowed. "150... million?”
She had never worn such valuable jewelry in her life.
The most valuable one she had ever worn was worth only 30 million dollars.
Azure Heart didn't count because she didn't dare to wear that necklace in public.
"Yeah, among my mother's jewelry, it’s of medium value," Julien said.
Julien certainly detected the reluctance in Velma’s eyes. He took it and added, "Buy whatever jewelry you like in the mall. I'll reimburse it."
"Okay," Velma responded with a bitter smile.
Buying one from the mall?
There wasn't any jewelry worth hundreds of millions of dollars on sale. She couldn't get anything close to the Azure Heart or this set of emerald jewelry.
Even if she did, Old Madam Flint would fly into a rage and call her a spendthrift.
She saw the general picture. Julien's mother could wear expensive jewelry as she liked, and Old Madam Flint would not say anything. It was a different story for her, and the reason lay in her lack of a deep family background. She was living off the Flint family.
Julien was unaware of Velma’s bitterness. After putting the box in the bag, he strode out of the Flint Mansion.
An hour later, he arrived at Shallow Bay and rang the doorbell of Sydney's apartment.
Sydney was doing eye exercises.
According to Finn, it was beneficial to the recovery of her eyes, and she did it two or three times a day.
Upon hearing the doorbell, Sydney put her hand off her eyes, turned her head, and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, " Erika, we've got a visitor. Check it out." "Sure, on my way." Erika hastened out of the kitchen, wiped the water with her apron, and went to get the door.
At the sight of the man outside, Erika exclaimed, "Mr. Flint!"
"Shhh!" Julien put his finger on his lips.
Erika realized her habitual greetings, hurriedly covered her mouth, and asked in a subdued voice, "What brings you here?"
"I have something to tell Sydney. Where is she?" Julien looked over her shoulder.
Erika pointed to the living room. "She's on the sofa. Please wait a moment. I need to ask for Ms. Raines's permission."
She faced inside the room and asked, "Ms.
Raines, it's Mr. Flint. Should I let him in?"
