Chapter 290 Busy Cooking

Shirley spread out her hands and said with a helpless expression, “I’m very sorry. I can’t just show it here, but I can promise you that your boss will definitely like it. You might as well take a gamble. If he is happy, he might pay you more.”

Irving raised his eyebrows and felt that the woman in front of him was interesting. She was brave and not an

ordinary person.

It seemed that Shirley might really have something good.

“Fine. With your confidence, I will take a gamble. To be in our line of work, one must have the courage to gamble. I am very willing to introduce you to my boss, but…”

The man’s gaze swept past Shirley and looked at the woman hiding behind her. He smiled and said, “Please don’t meddle in our business and hand her over to us.”

Shirley turned around and glanced at the trembling woman. She asked Irving, “If I hand her over to you, what

will you do to her?”

“I can’t tell you that. She has touched the ban of the Crimson Pawnshop. We have our own rules on how to

deal with her.”

After saying that, Irving looked coldly at the woman and said, “Ida, enough. It is time. Go back with us!”

“No!”

Ida held Shirley’s arm, her eyes red as she pleaded, “Don’t give me to them. I beg you, they won’t let me go. I can’t die. My son won’t be able to live if I die… I know that you are very powerful. I beg you to help me once!”

Shirley let out a long sigh. Then, she pried the woman’s fingers off her arm one by one and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that you are indeed wrong. You stole their things, so it’s reasonable for them to want to go back. It’s their right to punish you. If I help you, it’s to help the evil…”

The woman’s expression suddenly turned cold, and her tears immediately stopped like magic. She sneered, “No wonder you are the granddaughter of Jaida and Jason. You have sharp eyes. When did you find out that I

was lying?”

Shirley was very surprised that the woman actually knew her.

However, if she did not know Shirley, she would not have asked a weak-looking woman like her for help at the Sutor Wharf where there were so many strong men.

Irving also felt that it was strange. He asked in confusion, “That’s right. I haven’t said anything yet. How did you know that she stole the treasure of the Crimson Pawnshop?”

Shirley looked at the woman and explained, “Because the wound on her head was obviously not caused by you guys She did it herself to gain my sympathy…”

“Your people are all holding wooden sticks The wound on her forehead is obviously cut by a sharp blade. In addition, the Crimson Pawnshop is famous for being rich. If you really want the treasure in her

hands, you can buy it at a high price. It is not worth running around everywhere, shouting and losing your dignity…”

Shirley added, “Therefore, there is only one answer. This woman stole something from the Crimson Pawnshop and exposed herself. Then, she chose to hurt herself, pretending to be innocent.”

Shirley’s analysis was clear and logical. The surrounding people who were watching applauded and cheered.

Ida knew that she could not argue anymore. She handed the treasure in her arms to Irving and sneered, “Mr. Rowland, I have let you down. I failed you. Take me back. Whether you are gonna kill me or not, I will accept

my fate.”

Irving did not say anything and said to the men behind him, “Take her back to the pawn shop, lock her up in the water prison, and wait for Mr. Quintin’s order.”

“Mr. Rowland, I’m sorry!”

Ida closed her eyes. Although she had a cold and beautiful face, it had experienced the passage of time and

now she looked despairing.

Shirley felt familiar with the feeling of exhaustion in Ida. This kind of exhaustion resonated among mothers.

“Wait a minute!”

Shirley called out to the person who was escorting Ida away.

Ida looked at her indifferently and smiled bitterly, “You want to save me?”

Shirley shook her head. “I don’t have that time, nor do I have the ability.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“You said that you have a son. If something happens to you, your son will be an orphan. Is this a lie?”

The woman’s smile became even more bitter. She said, “I am not lying. I do have a son. He is seriously ill and

needs a large sum of money. That is why I stole from the Crimson Pawnshop and broke the rules. But my son

is not a real orphan. He has a father…”

“Good to hear that.”

Shirley eased up a little.

If Ida really died, her son wouldn’t be too miserable with a father around.

“However, his father is already married to his mistress. Their son would be turning one in days. I’m afraid he won’t care about my son anymore.”

“That’s…”

Shirley felt bad again.

Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, Irving coldly urged, “Enough! Take her away!”

Under the black-clothed man’s custody, Ida disappeared into the vast night. How she and her son would end up was unknown.

Shirley unconsciously thought of Bennett and Alisha…

If she died, her two children would probably be like Ida’s son, drifting!

“You think she is very miserable, don’t you?” Irving asked Shirley.

He looked indifferent.

“Just her son,” Shirley said.

“What’s there to do? This is her own choice.”

Irving said, “Her name is Ida. She has been divorced for more than three years. When her days were the most difficult, she almost couldn’t even get food. Coincidentally, I asked her to work in the Crimson Pawnshop. She is very talented at appraising. I wanted to train her as my student, but I didn’t know that she was an ungrateful thief. I’m so disappointed!”

“Perhaps, she is really very difficult and has no other choice…” Shirley said.

“No matter how difficult she is, she has violated the rules of the Crimson Pawnshop and will be punished. You know that in our line of work, the greatest taboo is that your own people steal. If the thief isn’t punished hard, it will be difficult to convince others!”

Irving clenched his fingers. He also felt bad.

It could be seen that he felt sad about losing his student.

Shirley thought she shouldn’t say more. She looked at her watch and said, “It’s getting late. It happens to be your open time. Can you take me to your boss now? You promised me.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“I always keep my word. I’ll take you there. Come with me…”

After saying that, Irving strode forward and led the way.

Under the moonlight, his green gown looked even more elegant and graceful. He was so handsome that it

was as if he had walked out of a poem.

Shirley wanted to follow behind Irving, but the silk in her hand reminded her of something.

That’s right, she had to ask the old man where the silk was from!

But when she turned around, the old man had been nowhere to be found, and even his stall was gone…
