The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray)
Chapter 93 Top Wedding Ring

Chapter 93 Top Wedding Ring

Nina is about to catch up when her cell phone rings.

It's Grace. Nina answers the phone in a hurry.

Before she speaks, Grace shouts on the phone, "Nina! Where are you? Why don't you answer the phone? I can't replace you anywhere!"

"I..." Nina anxiously looks at Abby and Andrew as they walk away. She sighs helplessly, "I'm in the hospital. It's not convenient for me to answer when you call me at noon. I didn't get through to you later. What happened?"

"You are quite leisurely! Your father is dying!" Grace says angrily.

"What! What's wrong with Dad? When I called you yesterday, you said he was OK. Why does he suddenly become like this?" Nina's voice is shaking with anxiety.

"I don't know! Anyway, your father needs to be hospitalized again. Get the money out quickly!" Grace says.

"What should we do? I don't have much money now. Have you run out of more than a hundred thousand dollars?" Nina asks in surprise. Dad's operation is done. He's resting now and doesn't need to spend more than a hundred thousand dollars.

"Yes! The medicine is very expensive now. Hospital fees are also expensive. I've run out of the money!" Grace says.

"Ah? What about the jewels in the safe? You can sell them for some money." Nina is worried.

"Jewels? I've already sold them!" Grace is finally a little guilty.

"How could it cost so much?" Nina whispers. But Grace hears it clearly. Her voice suddenly grows louder and her tone is fierce. "Nina! You mean I embezzled all the money! Well, I don't care about your father! It doesn't matter to me whether he lives or dies!"

"I don't blame you. I'm sorry. Don't be angry." Nina apologizes when she hears Grace.

"Then try to get some money quickly! Or your father won't live long." Grace says.

"I really don't have any money..." Nina is crying!

"I remember you have a very expensive ring called the heart of the sea. You can give me that ring. I can sell it for money!" Grace suddenly becomes enthusiastic.

The heart of the sea. Nina feels for the hard ring in her pocket. There is a little hesitation in her mind.

This ring is the only thing of value to her. She is going to sell the ring after the baby is born and use the money as living and education expenses.

But now, if she doesn't pay, Dad will die!

"Open it to see if you like it." She thinks of Lucien's voice. Nina suddenly feels that Lucien isn't as bad as she thinks. At least he gave his mistress such an expensive gift. It shows that he is generous. Spending money for women is an important standard for good men.

"Hello! Nina! Are you listening to me or not!" Grace's roar interrupts Nina's thought.

"I'm listening. Don't get angry. Come over at night and I'll give you the ring." Nina says quickly. She is afraid Grace will get angry and will not take care of her father. "Well, I'll see you tonight!" Grace hangs up with satisfaction.

Ryan looks at Grace anxiously in a private room on the second floor of the casino. "Grace, that's not good. Nina's dad is dead. If she knows you lies to her, she will hate you!" Grace spits out a smoke ring, "at least she doesn't know now. I will say Lucien got angry after she escaped and found someone to kill Barry. It has nothing to do with me!" Ryan sighs. "Nina gave you so much money to take care of her father. You shouldn't have lied to her! Grace, can you stop betting? Even if you have a lot of money, you will lose all!"

Grace's big eyes glance at Ryan. "Do you think I want to cheat Nina? Lucien is to blame! The operation was a success, but Lucien heard that Nina ran away, and he didn't pay for the medicine, so Barry died! Lucien is the one who killed her father! I don't want to tell her the bad news because I'm afraid she's sad. I didn't lie to her."

Ryan frowns and shakes his head. "Grace, Nina has given you a lot of money. Why don't you pay for Barry's medicine? It's not Lucien who killed Barry, it's you!" Grace's eyes widen savagely. "Ryan, shut up! Stop talking nonsense! Barry was killed by Lucien. That's the truth. If I hear you say it again, I will turn against you!" Seeing Grace get angry, Ryan immediately coaxes her, "Okay, baby, don't get angry. Lucien killed Barry. It's none of your business!"

Grace laughs and pushes Ryan, "let's replace a buyer and sell this ring! I'll be back in a minute and keep gambling!"

Ryan sighs. He tries to persuade grace to stop gambling, but he is afraid Grace will be angry. He just doesn't speak.

In a low-key high-end apartment, Abby is flirting with Andrew.

"Andrew, I don't like all this..." She points to a bunch of wedding ring albums on the table with her tender white fingers. "When I see these jewels, I don't feel moved at all!"

Andrew rubs his temples. "You've seen a few brochures from jewelry designers and you haven't seen a suitable one. Abby, are you a little picky?"

His gentle reproof is not uncomfortable at all.

Abby puts her arm around Andrew's neck and sits on his lap. "This is our wedding ceremony! Of course, the wedding ring should be well chosen! Marriage is a big thing. You won't fail to fulfill my wish, will you?"

Andrew smiles helplessly. "Well, I'll replace some more precious jewels."

Major newspapers in City C have reported that Andrew is looking for precious jewelry. Grace, who is sitting at the table drinking milk and eating breakfast, stares at the newspaper!

Grace calls Ryan. Her voice is full of excitement, "Ryan! We're going to get rich!"

Ryan just sent Lucien to the office. Hearing Grace's voice, he closes the office door with guilt. He lowers his voice and asks, "what's the matter? Did you win the lottery?"

Grace says with a smile, "we can sell that ring! The newspaper says President Williams is looking for precious jewelry! Is this ring precious enough?"

Ryan panicks. "Grace, are you crazy? Do you know who President Williams will marry?"

Grace asks puzzledly, "he is going to marry Abby, the daughter of Mayor Lewis. What's the matter?"

Ryan sighs. "When the daughter of Mayor Lewis gets married, celebrities will attend the wedding ceremony. Lucien will attend, too! That ring is very conspicuous. Lucien will see that it's the one he gave Nina! I he knows the truth, we will both die miserably!"

Grace laughs smugly. "Don't worry. When the ring is sold, we take the money and pay the gambling debt, then we go abroad! Lucien won't replace us all over the world."

Ryan hesitates. "You really want to go away with me when you get the money? You don't gamble anymore?"

Grace continues to lie to him, "of course! We will go abroad to live a good life. I'll marry you and have some children for you, OK?"

Ryan says worriedly, "Grace, I hope you don't cheat me. Now Lucien trusts me. If he knows I have betrayed him, I will die!"

Andrew goes to the company. Abby is watching TV in his apartment. A servant comes in, "Miss, there is a miss outside who wants to see you. She said she read in the newspaper that you are looking for a ring. She has a top wedding ring to show you."

A top wedding ring? Abby is excited. "Let her in."

Grace comes in with a smile and confidence. She looks around and is shocked by the magnificent decoration and furniture in the room. She immediately raises the price of the ring by another hundred thousand dollars.

"Please sit down. I heard that you have a very beautiful ring." Abby asks politely. She is a dignified and noble lady in front of outsiders. "Well, yes. I have a very special and beautiful ring. You will like it." Grace carefully takes out a velvet box and puts it in front of Abby. Abby looks at the box in disgust. This box is not the original one Lucien gave Nina. It is cheap in material and rough in workmanship. Abby is impatient in her heart. "Is there something good in this broken box? I'm wasting my time!"

Grace is a little worried about Abby's disdain. Do these rich people look down on this precious ring because they have seen many good things? She quickly opens the box, hoping for a chance.

"Miss Lewis, this is the ring I said. What do you think of it?" Grace anxiously shows Abby the ring in the box.
