Chapter 148
Chapter 118 Chapter 148 Lucy said , Before , although I always teased you for being love struck and didnt like you hanging around Hayden all day, you were happy then .
Now youre out of it , but the smile on your face is gone .
Its not because of him .
I curled my lips slightly and walked forward .
Haydens ruthlessness and betrayal was just a trigger to my transformation .
It was more because of my mothers departure , the changes in my family , and my inability to forgive myself for my past stupidity There were too many reasons for this to happen to me .
As soon as I reached the first floor , Richard hurried to report , Mrs.
Parker , the guests are all gathered on the deck , clamoring for us to return .
What should we do ? I glanced at the dazzling sunlight on the deck and asked , Has Sophias necklace been found ? What ? Richard was taken aback for a moment , then came to his senses .
No.
We didnt dare to enter the guests without permission .
Its also unknown whether she really lost the necklace … I looked at him with a hint of appreciation in my eyes .
Your mind is working so fast ? Well … I was just thinking .
Richard smiled awkwardly .
rooms The most important thing for an assistant was to serve the boss , not to be smarter than the boss .
He committed a big taboo when he got excited .
I noticed Richards cautiousness and said , No wonder youre the only one who has stayed with Hayden for so many years .
Hayden was notorious for his bad temper at work .
Before Richard came to work for him , he had driven away many assistants and secretaries .
Richard must have something special to be able to stay until now .
Ill take that as a compliment , Mrs.
Parker .
Richard touched the back of his head , seemingly a little embarrassed , but he quickly came back to his senses and said with some seriousness , Mrs.
Parker , youve been with Mr.
Parker longer than I have , there must be a reason for that as well .
His sudden words stunned me I thought , Have I been with Hayden for a long time ? Well … Some people are kept by his side on his own initiative , while I … I got here by clinging to him .
Its not the same .
I slowly reminded Richard .
He froze in place , his face turning a little pale , and hurriedly explained , Mrs.
Parker , thats not what I meant … I shook my head and focused on the deck .
Lets go and have a look .
E me .
With that , I walked into the sunshine with my head held high , not caring how Richard would see I didnt care if it was ridicule or sympathy , I had been ridiculed enough over the years , so I had grown immune to it .
I had only taken a few steps onto the deck when people noticed me and looked over .
A person said , Look ! Its Mrs.
Parker ! 1/8 103 PM C Chapter 115 Another person said , Ask her if there really is a thief on this cruise ship ! Soon a crowd surged towards me .
The most enthusiastic of these was Sophia , who was always looking for trouble .
Yvonne ! Its so good that youre here .
My diamond necklace has been stolen ! Your father gave it to me .
Its worth tens of millions ! she complained and showed off at the same time .
The people around her echoed .
Yeah .
Has the thief been caught ? A person said , Since there is a thief on the ship , I am worried there might also be a murderer among us .
What is going on here ! I dont dare to take your cruise anymore , send us back ! Another person echoed , Yes ! Send us back ! The crowd became agitated .
Even Richard whispered in my ear .
Mrs.
Parker , should we excuse ourselves first ? I bit my teeth lightly .
Avoidance in this situation would only make things worse .
Everyone , please calm down .
If there is a thief , we will catch him ! I first calmed the crowd down , then looked at Sophia .
What does your necklace look like ? Are there any photos of it ? It will be helpful for us to have a direction to investigate ! Sophia was stunned .
She didnt lose any necklace .
There was no way Yosef would send her jewelry that valuable .
It was just an excuse to get the cruise ship back to Elysiumville as soon as possible , otherwise Jackson Group would be sold Sophia didnt expect that Yvonne would ask her what her necklace looked like .
Taking advantage of her dumbfounded expression , I asked her , Dont tell me you dont even know what your necklace looks like .
Is it a Moroccan ruby or a deep sea sapphire ? Its .
Its a ruby ! Sophia couldnt think straight and clung to my words like a lifeline .
I sneered inwardly but kept a straight face .
I turned to Richard and said , Go find it .
Richard was dumbfounded , but he didnt dare to expose anything and nodded quickly , Yes , Mrs.
Parker .
After Richard left , I turned to Sophia again , Mrs.
Jackson , please wait a moment .
It will take some time to find it.
Sophia stiffened her neck , How long will it take ? I dont want to stay on this cruise ship with a thief for another minute ! Who knows if they will commit arson or murder later ? How can you say such a scary thing ? The faces of several timid people nearby changed .
A person said , I want to go back too ..
My wife and children are still waiting for me at home ! Another person said , Im not even married yet ! Everyone was talking at once , making the matter worse .
Lucy and Yasir also arrived at this time .
Stop talking nonsense ! Its still uncertain whether there is such a necklace ! Lucy retorted back with her hands on her hips .
She was so straightforward and her movements were so exaggerated that I couldnt help but laugh .
Lucy , dont say that .
How could Mrs.
Jackson not even own a gemstone necklace ? 2/3 1:03 PM c Chapter 148 Who knows ? She is not from a wealthy family ! Lucy snorted , Everyone knows how she got to be Mrs.
Jackson .
She came from humble beginnings .
Maybe she has never even seen such a thing .
y and cursed .
What are you talking about ? What do you Sophias already pale face was even uglier now .
She pointed at mean I dont have a necklace ? Maybe you stole it , but youre still slandering me .
I stole your necklace ? What a joke .
My family owns quite a few jewelry design companies .
Why would I need to steal yours ? Even if you gave it to me , I wouldnt want it ! The two of them started quarreling .
The two of them started quarreling like this .
I wanted to stop the fight , but Yasir gave me a look and asked me to talk to him in private .
Let them quarrel .
Dont you realize these people are all occupied ? Yasir laughed .
I quickly came to my senses .
Is Lucy buying me time ? Yasir nodded .
But itll only buy you a little time .
Sophias adamant that her necklace is missing .
What are you going to do about it ?
