NovelEnglishChapter 2026 Heirloom At a mansion in the suburbs of Herington, Winnie received a call from Grant. She was shocked to learn that he had cancer and was facing imminent death.
Upon hearing the news, Winnie paused for a moment before responding coldly, “You reap what you sow, Grant.
You deserve it!” After a brief silence, Grant calmly asked, “Winnie, | only called to ask for one thing. Do you remember the heirloom that belonged to Roxanne's mother? Please return it toso that | can give it to Roxanne.” Winnie's eyes blazed with anger as she bellowed, "What nonsense are you talking about? | have never taken it!” Her son, Yosef, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, kept yawning and asking, “Mom, who's on the phone?” “Your dad,” she snapped.

Return the heirloom, and we're even!” “Listen up, Grant. | didn't take it! | did want to take it back then. We searched the whole house, but we couldn't find it. It’s up to you to believe it or not! Don't callagain in the future!” Winnie hung up the phone before Grant could respond.
Yosef was unfazed by her furious expression and instead prodded, “Mom, hurry up and cook!” Feeling annoyed by her son's listless state, Winnie could not help but chide, “Yosef, you need to get a job! You chlate and leave early every day. Besides, your gambling addiction is out of control. Don't you care about your family?” Frowning, the man glared at his mother and retorted, “Why should | care? We're getting divorced because I'm not good enough for her. Therefore, | deserve to be ill-treated. Besides, | can't find a job anywhere because Grant has been blacklisted. What have | done to deserve this?” After speaking, Yosef went to the kitchen to look for something to eat, leaving Winnie in the living room, still in shock.
Fortunately, her daughter had married a wealthy businessman, which was why they could afford to live in this mansion. In contrast, both her son and her husband were useless.
Meanwhile, at the Jarvis residence, Grant calmly analyzed the situation after the call ended.
Roxanne and Lucian were waiting quietly beside him.
Grant had informed them that Roxanne's mother had left an heirloom, which he suspected may have been stolen by Winnie. This was the reason for his earlier call.
"Dad, maybe Winnie sold it long ago,” Lucian said, thinking that was the most likely possibility.
Despite being composed all this time, Roxanne's curiosity was piqued upon learning that the missing item was her mother's precious heirloom, and she couldn't help but wonder what it was.

“Not very likely. If Winnie took it, she wouldn't have denied it just now...” he replied with a frown.
“So, what exactly is in my mother's heirloom? Is it very valuable? Winnie is even more despicable than | thought.
She even wants to take possession of the heirloom!” Roxanne said agitatedly.
Lucian reassured, “Don't worry, I'm sure Mom's heirloom must still be in this old house. Since Winnie didn't steal it, we just need to search for it properly, and we might just find it!” Grant nodded in agreement. “Roxanne, we will search thoroughly and hand the item over to you once it is found.”
