Chapter 285: Pawn Shop

1.4 million dollars wasn’t exactly something he didn’t have…

Just then, Elsie returned with a card. “Paul, I sold the watch and even found a contact to sell it for a bit more!”

Paul didn’t listen to her ramble. He just asked how much she got for it.

Elsie grinned, “Over 110 thousand dollars!”

Paul frowned deeply. “Is that all?”

“My watch is one of only ten in the world. I bought it for millions, and it should have appreciated over the years.”

Elsie pouted. “Paul, pawnshops are different from auctions. Pawning is a speed sale. I managed to get this amount because the shop owner was being generous. If you want more, try selling it yourself!”

Paul was speechless. He was used to buying things at auctions, but now he had to resort to pawning?

“Fine, 110 thousand dollars it is.”

Elsie eagerly crouched by his feet. “Paul, transfer the 70 thousand dollars directly to that man’s account. Smack his face hard!”

She had borrowed money from him before, and he harassed her for days, even demanding she sleep with him to repay it. How can he think like that? She wanted to make sure they understood who was backing her!

But Paul didn’t move. He sighed. “Elsie, this money has other uses.”

Elsie looked at him in confusion.

Paul continued, “Can you lend me another 30 grand? I’ll pay you back double in a week.”

Elsie took a few seconds to process. Paul was actually asking her to borrow money. She hesitated and said, “Paul, you know I don’t have money…

Paul replied, “Didn’t I give you plenty of luxury gifts and bags? I even bought you that sports car. When I make money, I’ll get you something better.”

Elsie wasn’t too happy, but she leaned against Paul’s arm. “Paul, why suffer like this? As the heir of the Powell family, you should have endless money. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Paul looked at her. “Do you love me for being the Powell family’s heir, or do you love me?”

Flianna, nauseated realizing Paul was getting upset, reluctantly stood. “I’ll help you out.”

Chapter 285: Pawn Shop

Paul watched her back, and suddenly thought of Yunice. If it were Yunice, she wouldn’t need him to say a word. Yunice would have already prepared the money for him without hesitation.

Paul’s gaze darkened as he recalled the way Yunice looked when she got married.

Elsie wouldn’t be willing to sell her own things. Those were treasures she used to build her status. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and opened Yunice’s jewelry cabinet, picking out the valuable items to sell.

What she didn’t know was that, as soon as she left the Saunders family, she was being followed.

The pawn shop offered a very low price for Yunice’s jewelry. Since it wasn’t her own, Elsie didn’t feel bad. Just as she was about to sell them cheaply, a man walked up from behind her.

“Sell it to me. I’ll offer you seven grand more than they did.” The man had a shrewd expression.

Elsie sized him up and thought he was just a poor thug who couldn’t possibly afford the jewelry. Rolling her eyes, she was about to ask the pawn shop to issue her a ticket when the beggar-like man acted rudely and snatched the jewelry from her hands.

Instead of running away, he weighed the jewelry in his hands and said, “This shop knows you’re in need of money and is taking advantage of you. Can’t you tell? Anyway, whether you sell it to anyone, it’s the same. Might as well sell it for more, right?”

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and said, “Give me your account number.”
