Chapter 2521
Hal jumped on top of the pile of trash and started digging as if it found the target. His owner said, “Dogs have a very strong sense of smell. I’m guessing it’s buried down there.”
Hal barked a few times, and two villagers started helping with digging.
Soon, they found a new bag under the trash. The villager picked it up. “Is it this one?”
Colton walked forward, took it, and chuckled. “It is.”
He opened it, and other than money, the ID and passport were still inside. There was also the key to a safe in the bank that was squashed behind the passport.
That was what Freyja had inherited from her grandfather after his passing. Freyja had asked Colton to keep it, so he always brought it around with him. He wouldn’t be able to explain to her if he lost it.
He was glad he found it.
Colton suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the floor.
“Colton!”
“Mister!”
When he woke up, it was already evening. Freyja, who was sitting next to the bed, saw that he was awake, so she got up and looked at him. “You’re up.”
He asked, “How long was I out for?”
“It’s 5:30 p.m., and this is a nursing home. The nun let us stay and rest.” Freyja sat down on the bed and couldn’t help but smile. “Mr. Goldmann went through the trash for half a day and ended up fainting. It’s going to be big news.”
He squinted. “You’re laughing at me?”
“$150,000,000 worth of gold, $150,000,000 worth of cash, two cases of antique jewelry. Do you know how much that all costs? Even if it was just the cash, that would be a lot of money, my little rich wife. Are you really alright about losing it? That’s your goldmine.”
“Since when do you talk so much?” Freyja raised her brows and chuckled. “If you lose the key, I still have
you, my goldmine. You can pay for my expenses.”
Colton squinted. “Didn’t you say that you don’t need me to pay for you?”
Freyja choked. “It’s because-”
“Because you don’t want people to look down on you, right?”
Colton knew her too well. He was able to guess what was on her mind too. “You don’t feel comfortable about spending my money because you think it’s not yours. You like to make what is yours and mine very clear. Not only are you afraid that people will look down on you, but you’re also afraid that I will do the same.”
