In My Desperate Time

Frances is washing up in the bathroom. I walk to the balcony and whisper to Mindy on the phone.
"Tell me, what's the situation now?"
I hurriedly ask, eager to know what is going on.
"Sabina seems to be short of money lately. She has sold all her properties and belongings that can be sold. I've seen her around
Golden Bay recently. Looks like she wants to buy a piece of land there."
Why does she want to buy a piece of land?
I don't understand that.
"Did you find out why?"
"I don't know. I asked David about that piece of land, and it would cost at least eighty million. Sabina has made a lot of money by
her touring performance. But she doesn't save much money now because she spent a lot. It is difficult for her to buy the land.
However, if she really wants that land, she could ask Frances for it. That's not a problem for Frances. "
So Sabina is short of money. No wonder she took my ring and sold it.
However, she hasn't asked Frances for money. Perhaps she doesn't want Frances to know. In other words, she doesn't want old
Mr. Louis to know.
Anyway, I guess I know now.
However, what should I do?
Should I tell Frances? If not, could I never get my engagement ring back?
All of a sudden, I don't know what to do.
I sigh and continue to ask Mindy, "What about Hilda? Did you check on her?"
"I just wanted to tell you. There's definitely something wrong with her!"
On the other end of the phone, Mindy sounds very excited.

"Yesterday, she left Virginia and went to the United States. I had David send someone to follow her, but she managed to get rid
of him. You know, David's people are all trained professionally. They have never failed in tracking. Hilda has such strong anti-
tracking skills, so she definitely can't be an ordinary person."
"Since she got rid of your man, how did you know that she went to the United States?" I ask doubtfully.
My alert for Hilda is strengthened.
I've always thought she isn't ordinary. However, I have never thought that she could be so unexpected.
"Coincidentally, David went to the United States on business. He happened to meet her at the airport on his way back."
This explanation makes sense.
However, it is not strange for Hilda to go to the United States.
Although Terrence is gone, she has lived there for so many years after all. There must be a lot of things that she cares about.
The information provided by Mindy has no other use than to prove that Hilda is not an ordinary person.
"Alright, I see. If it's okay, please continue to investigate what she's doing in the United States." I whisper.
Frances’ footsteps could already be heard clearly from inside. I say goodbye to Mindy and hang up the phone hurriedly.
I don't want Frances to know about me investigating Hilda or Sabina.
"It's a little cold in the morning. What are you doing on the balcony?" Frances’ concerned voice sounds behind me.
"Nothing. I just want to get some fresh air." I turn around and smile calmly at Frances.
After I walk in, Frances hurriedly touches my hands to make sure they weren't cold before letting go.
"Let's go. I'll take you to mom."
