Chapter 20 Return the Ring to Me
Chapter 20 Return the Ring to Me
Lottie almost spat out the juice in her mouth.
She lowered her voice, "Is this the online friend of Fabian?"
It was enough for her to be shocked by Fabian's meeting a female online friend. What surprised her,
even more, was that this female online friend was Claudia Green.
"Don't make any noise. Just watch the show."
Elijah faintly lowered his eyes, and then his tiny hand gently sent a message with his phone.
At this side, Claudia sat down where they already booked. She took out a small mirror, and while she
spoke over the phone to show off to her best friend, she also patched up her makeup.
"Well, I've arrived. Mr. Poole said he'd be here soon."
"God gives me the charming face. We've just been talking for only two days, and this morning before
we even meet, he already asked someone to give me a ten-carat diamond ring."
"That's for sure. Mr. Poole told me that after we meet today, he will make me be on the front page news
headline and be the happiest woman in Rexwell!"
"Don't worry. I will treat you for dinner. Mr. Poole is wealthy..."
Probably because of pride, Claudia's voice was so loud that almostcafé all the people in this restaurant
could hear her so clearly.
Lottie covered her face with a magazine and peeked at Elijah sitting beside her, "What are you guys up
to?"
Mr. Poole?
Ten-carat diamond ring?
The “Mr. Poole” that Claudia mentioned before who gave her a ten-carat diamond ring was Fabian
Chapman?
"Lottie, just wait and watch the show."
Elijah smilingly picked up the juice and took a sip.
After a short while, Fabian, who wore a small black suit, pushed the door and came in.
The kid looked particularly handsome in his suit today.
He walked to Claudia with short legs and childishly said, "Are you ‘Love Is Bread’?"
Claudia hung up the phone, and her cold eyes swept a glance at the kid who was not half as tall as
herself, "Who are you?"
"I am Mr. Poole."
Fabian blinked his eyes and revealed a sweet smile, "You said you don't mind that I am younger than
you."
Claudia raised her eyebrows, contemptuously looked at the small Fabian in front of her from head to
toe, "I don't have the time to mind any baby boy. Go to the side and play with yourself!"
The “Mr. Poole” she was talking to before was mature and stable. How could this little thing in front of
her be him?
"I am really Mr. Poole!"
Fabian pursed his lips, then took out his phone and sent a message.
At the same time, Claudia's phone rang.
The kid proudly shook his phone, "It's me!"
Claudia was speechless.
The “Mr. Poole” she was looking forward to meeting was actually such a little boy?
A child had fooled her!
Claudia was both angry and ashamed, " You little brat, why don't you learn something good? Is net
dating something you should learn?"
"You are so young, and you already know how to cheat. When you grow up, it will be disastrous!"
"Stay away from me!"
Immediately after Claudia finished speaking, Fabian pouted, sat his buttocks on the ground, and began
to cry, "You didn't keep your word!
"I already stole the ten-carat diamond ring my father prepared for my Lottie and gave it to you!"
"And you even don’t recognize me!"
"You told me online that you would take good care of me after receiving my gift!"
"I'm this little, but you still lie to a child like me!"
"Woo!"
Everyone in the restaurant gathered at their side when Fabian started crying.
Someone with a sharp eye recognized Claudia and asked, "Isn't this Claudia from the Green family?"
"She looks so decent, but she even cheated on such a young boy and even incited him to steal the
diamond ring his father prepared for his mother!"
"How shameless!"
...
For a while, there were a lot of chatters inside the restaurant.
Some people even took out their cell phones and began to do live streaming about the incident on the
internet.
Claudia's face suddenly turned red and then turned pale.
How did she know that “Mr. Poole”, who had a pleasant talk with her online, was a five or six=year-old
boy?
This “Mr. Poole” was very generous with money. He also looked handsome and honorable in the
pictures. His house was also luxurious, like a castle!
She thought she had met a quite rich man, so she rushed to meet him just after they had chatted for
only one day!
After all, she had just messed up Mr. Millter's investment and desperately needed another partner to
secure her position!
Claudia even thought after meeting with this Mr. Poole, she would...
But actually, Mr. Poole was… -
"Little liar, get out of here!"
She glared at Fabian viciously and raised her leg to leave.
Fabian held her leg, "You can't leave!"
"Give me back that ring!"
"And the money I transferred to you online! You have to give them all back to me!"
Claudia rolled her eyes, "Why should I give it back to you?"
With that, she lifted her leg and kicked Fabian away.
The crowd in the restaurant was outraged.
This woman not only cheated such a small child but also wanted to beat him!
Looking at how Fabian was kicked on the ground, Lottie dropped the magazine in her hand with worry.
But Elijah held her hand, "Calm down, Lottie."
Lottie pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "He is your brother. Don't you feel sorry for him?"
Elijah paused and turned his head. He looked at her seriously, "Do you really care about him that
much?"
"Of course!"
Lottie's hands silently clenched into fists, "Fabian is the beloved boy at home. How can he be bullied
like this?"
"No, I have to go over there."
"Don't."
Elijah seriously looked at her face, "You're a good mother."
Lottie was a little uncomfortable with the expression in his eyes.
When she raised her head and looked over in Claudia's direction again, Mario had already brought a
few police officers over.
"Miss Green, someone reported you for using an internet tool to defraud the property of a minor.
Please go with us to the police station."
The two policemen hand-cuffed Claudia immediately after saying that.
Claudia struggled violently, "I didn't!"
"It wasn't me who scammed this little kid. It was him who fooled me..."
"Sir, please help me..."
Fabian cried loudly.
Mario hugged Fabian, and tears also fell down his cheeks, "Master Fabian is just five years old. He ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
must have been instigated by someone. Otherwise, how could he steal the diamond ring?”
The police officer in charge of the case looked at both the old and the young who were crying so sadly.
He turned his head and spoke in a cold voice, "Miss Green, you can’t fool me like this. How can such a
small child set you up?"
"If you have anything to say, say it till we get to the police station!"
After saying that, the police took Claudia away.
Mario held Fabian and also followed the police.
Lottie was dumbfounded.
Elijah sighed faintly, jumped down from the chair, and pulled Lottie's little thumb, "Lottie, let's go to the
police station to bring my brother home!"
Claudia still hadn't recovered from the scene she had just seen, "Is this what you guys have planned?"
"Yes!"
Elijah held her hand and took a big step towards the door, "But we didn't lie to her!"
"Elijah told her that she would be in the newspaper after the meeting."
"But what she will be on is the criminal section of the newspaper."
