Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 150

chapter150

“If you agreed to help him, wouldn’t collecting payment be a hassle? If you’re not careful, you’ll expose Rosella’s identity…”

“I don’t plan to take his money. I want him to help me get that set of quartz hairpins back, and he agreed.”

“Quartz hairpins? Which set of quartz hairpins?”

“The Stellar Quartz Hairpins, the ones Terry gave me when I got married.”

That set of quartz hairpins had always been treasured in her cabinet. Even Jericho didn’t know that they were part of her dowry and were priceless.

In the fourth year of their marriage, Jericho opened an antique chain store and took a liking to Romina’s quartz hairpins, wanting to use them as the store’s centerpiece. Later, he told Romina that the hairpins had been stolen.

It was only before she went to prison that she learned the theft was just an excuse. Nadine had taken a fancy to the hairpins, and Jericho had given them to her, falsely claiming they were lost.

She had been upset about this for a long time.

Although on the surface they were a gift from Terry, her grandfather had actually participated in their making, using ancient quartz he had treasured for many years. They were truly a rare

treasure.

“If I remember correctly, that set of quartz hairpins is currently with Nadine, and she’s about to take them to the Antique Appraisal Show…” Elliana frowned slightly. “How could Joaquin possibly get the hairpins back from her?”

Romina smiled calmly, the corners of her lips lifting: “I trust Joaquin. With his abilities, he can definitely help me get the hairpins back.

Elliana looked at her quietly but said nothing.

“Even if he can’t get the hairpins back himself, I’m sure he’ll come up with a plan for me. So just relax and enjoy the show.”

Romina’s tone was extremely cool, her face showing little emotion.

Elliana nodded gently: “In that case, I’m really looking forward to seeing how such a clever man will help you strategize.”

The curve of her lips grew wider and wider.

At that moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

When she saw the name on the caller ID, her hand holding the fork paused for a moment.

Sitting across from her, Elliana naturally noticed the note at the top as well.

Joaquin.

“Speak of the devil and he appears.” Elliana covered her mouth and giggled secretly. “Joaquin must have some kind of telepathic connection with you, right?”

Romina reached out and gave her a light slap. “Stop messing around.”

Immediately, she stood up with her phone in hand and walked toward the entrance.

At that moment, her mind was filled with memories of the ambiguous encounter between the two of them on the second floor that day.

After a brief moment of contemplation, she finally answered the call. “Mr. Bowman, are you looking for me?”

“I heard tomorrow is the day you’re doing a follow–up for Sir Bowman?”

The man on the other end of the line spoke in a deep voice, revealing little emotion.

Romina nodded gently. “Yes.”

“When are you going over?”

As soon as he said this, Romina’s heart seemed to skip a beat.

For some reason, at this critical moment, she was truly afraid of running into him.

“I’m not sure yet. It could be in the morning, or maybe in the afternoon…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the man interrupted her directly. “Give me a specific

time.‘

“Mr. Bowman, are you planning to visit Sir Bowman? That shouldn’t conflict with my follow–up check. You can see him whenever you want.”

“I want to see you.”

The man’s voice was deep and unwavering, without a hint of hesitation.

Romina’s upper lashes fluttered wildly.

She truly hadn’t expected him to say something so direct.
