Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 819:noveldrama

Lizzie shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips.

“No, I’m just admiring these. What I really want to see is inside. I heard there’s a piece that once belonged to royalty, and it’s being exhibited for the first time.”

Her excitement was evident as she grabbed Rachel’s arm.

“It’s not far ahead. Come on, let’s hurry!”

Lizzie clung to Rachel’s arm, her eyes shining with excitement. But after all the anticipation, they arrived at the display—only to find the case empty.

Lizzie’s face fell.

“Looks like someone already bought it.”

Rachel’s gaze drifted to the nearby photographs showcasing sold pieces. The moment her eyes landed on one, her breath caught. The design was unmistakable—it was identical to the ruby set Natalia had given her.

Her heart pounded as realization struck. It wasn’t just a similar set, it was the exact one.

A chill ran down her spine, and her legs suddenly felt weak.

Determined, she approached an exhibition staff member.

“Excuse me, I was really drawn to the ruby necklace and earrings. Do you know who purchased them?”

After checking, she was told the buyer’s surname was White, and the contact number left was Ronald’s.

Rachel’s hands trembled as she pulled out her phone. She dialed Natalia’s number, her voice unsteady.

“Natalia, get to my house. Right now.”

“Rachel? What’s wrong?” Natalia noticed the urgency in Rachel’s voice.

“I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

Then Rachel hung up before Natalia could say anything more.

Rachel said goodbye to Lizzie, then hailed a cab home.

She didn’t waste a second, making a beeline for her dresser and taking out the ruby jewelry set.

Ever since Natalia had given it to her, Rachel had only glanced at it once before tucking it away.

Now, upon closer inspection, the ruby’s brilliance and hue made it clear that it wasn’t a fake. This meant that its cost was beyond imaginable.

Natalia arrived a couple of minutes later.

“What happened?” she asked, panting from her rush. “You sounded quite anxious over the phone.”

But then her gaze fell on the jewelry Rachel had taken out, and she immediately fell silent.

The shift in Natalia’s demeanor was all Rachel needed to understand the situation.
