Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 735

"My name is Jewel." The little beggar responded in a low voice as she looked at Darryl. "Mister, I did steal two steamed buns, but the buns were only worth two pennies. The ring you gave to the restaurant owner could pay for thousands of steamed buns. Please, go get the ring back!"

Even though she was only a young lady, she was very knowledgeable.

Darryl's ring had exquisite workmanship. It was evidently not an ordinary item at first glance. They were mere strangers, so she wondered why she deserved such a big favor?

"You stinky beggar! Shut up!" The restaurant owner was angry. He had already gotten the ring, how could he give it away so easily? The owner glared at Jewel fiercely. "Scumbag! Do you think you have a say here? How dare you steal my steamed buns! I'm already doing you a favor by not killing you."

Jewel was not timid at all; she glared at him.

"How dare you glare at me? Maybe we did not beat you enough just now..." The restaurant owner rolled up his sleeves as he rushed toward her.

Darryl hurriedly went forward and patted the restaurant owner on the shoulder. "Hey, she's still a kid. Don’t be so hard on her. I gave you the ring for the two steamed buns, and I won't want it back."

The restaurant owner beamed when he heard that. "Very well, then."

He glared at Jewel again before he took his people back into the restaurant.

Darryl turned around and looked at Jewel with a smile. "Don’t steal again in the future."

"Mister, I am so hungry..." Jewel pouted. Then she whispered, "I steal these steamed buns from here for a reason. The owner is mean and never treats beggars as human beings. One time, I merely stood in front of his store, but he got his people to chase me out. He cursed me so many times, so I came here to steal some steamed buns from him."

A beggar who lived by her principles?

Darryl laughed. Then he looked at Jewel and said, "You're out here at such a young age. Where is your family?"
