Chapter 293- Heirlooms
Valerie opened her eyes sleepily and then squeezed them shut. Last night, she came to her parents’ place, because she had no place to spend the night.
She didn’t want to go to any cheap hotel. She might not have found her marriage certificate, but her jewelry was safe.
The jewelry also included Sinclair family heirlooms that were given to Marissa by Rafael and later Valerie didn’t let her take them.
Her parents didn’t have a spare room so right now this attic was her room that had a small mattress along with several metal boxes next to the wall.
Valerie’s suitcases were sprawled all over the floor that she had brought from Rafael’s place. Stretching herself, she got up and looked around. This room didn’t even have an attached bath, and she needed to go to the living room to use it.
Within a few days, she had gone from riches to rags.
"Don’t worry, Val," she almost patted her shoulder, "you have still gotten your jewelry. You can still have enough money after selling family heirlooms."
She secured her hair in an elastic band and then started looking for something suitable to wear. She was still deciding on her day’s attire when her door was knocked.
A middle-aged woman with a pleasant smile was standing in the doorway, "I need to clean the room, ma’am."
Oh, thank God her parents had a cleaning lady otherwise they could expect her to make the place spotless.
"Sure. Please come in. I was leaving the room anyways," the woman came in and started putting her stuff expertly in the suitcases.
