Chapter 15 Robbery

  • "Kids stay out of grown-ups' business." Elvira tickled her nose, a rare warmth.
  • "See, that's what you don't understand, if Uncle Hansel behaves himself, he could be my future stepdad, not that it's any of your adult business." Densie sounded a little anxious.
  • Elvira froze.
  • "You think too much." Elvira knew that Densie was actually obsessed with her real dad.
  • Although she usually hid it well, she always acted like a little lion that had blown up when it came to such sensitive issues.
  • Densie flattened herself on the bed, "...... It doesn't seem out of the question if it's him."
  • "What?"
  • Densie rolled over and gave a faint, "Nothing."
  • -
  • 6.30pm.
  • Elvira ended a meeting, she buckled her computer and pressed her temples, what the hell was going on lately, why did everything and everyone come to her?
  • This auction, Elvira wouldn't be there if it weren't for the relics from her mother's life.
  • Dion auctions off the diamond necklace his mum left behind when she was alive in exchange for money.
  • And this necklace, it's an heirloom.
  • This gift, it means so much.
  • Elvira gets very irritated thinking about Dion.
  • Considering the surveillance Colton is keeping on her, Elvira is worried about getting caught by her at the meeting.
  • Thinking about it, Elvira came up with an idea.
  • Hansel came to pick her up a little after seven, and Densie stayed home as she had a French class in the evening.
  • Hansel looked at Elvira dressed so plainly, he was a little surprised, "That's all you're wearing?"
  • "What? No?"
  • A simple grey jumper, paired with a pair of pale blue jeans, she wore her long hair tied back high and wore white trainers.
  • Look at this, like a runner, not at all like going to a party.
  • Elvira looked indifferent as she looked out the window at the flickering landscape and suddenly spoke, "Hansel, I may need you to do me a favour."
  • "No problem."
  • -
  • The meeting place.
  • People come and go.
  • A Mercedes Benz parked at the entrance of the venue, Grace was dressed in an evening gown, carrying a very beautiful handbag in her hand, she covered her chest, under the flashing lights, she slowly walked out of the car.
  • Someone in the crowd was shouting, "There is Grace! Take a picture."
  • Flashbulbs flashed, Grace smiled appropriately and graciously and greeted the people in the media one by one.
  • She was followed by Gina, a magnificent woman, with her neck and ears covered in clear jewels, who walked slowly down the aisle, supported by Dion, and gestured to give him a kiss on the cheek.
  • The duo showed a very loving look.
  • Several people came down, from the car came down a little boy, he tugged his tie, seems to feel a little awkward, looks like it should have just finished crying, still a face of unhappy.
  • Gina took her son's hand as the family of four made their way to the centre of the venue.
  • Their car had just pulled away when Elvira and Hansel's pulled up behind them, Elvira looking at Dion's back with one hand in her pocket as she pondered.
  • At the meeting, Elvira had just walked into the hall when a sharp-eyed Dion saw her.
  • She swept idly over the people present, Hansel had been dragged away to answer the call before she could stand, which was fine, she didn't want to make a scene.
  • Gina sees Elvira along Dion's line of sight, she blushes and walks over quickly before pinching Elvira's arm and dragging her to the corner.
  • "Who invited you?" Gina questioned, the auction was by invitation only, Elvira wasn't on the invite list, so why was she here?
