Because of the jade bracelet, Sasha lost favonovel.com appetite for this meal. As for James and Helen, they didn’t even speak for the rest of the dinner as if they were mute. Finally, the cocktail party came to an end. As soon as they got into the car, Helen directly burst out wailing.
“Sasha, l-let’s go back immediately… The shop owner of that jade shop must not have gone far. If we could locate favonovel.com earlier, we could still get that jade bracelet back. Hurry! Matthew, start the car and let’s go now!”
James turned pale with rage. “It’s worth over 300 million, 300 million! Helen, what have you done? How could you sell such a valuable treasure? Even worse, you sold it for only 28,000. How clever!”
In the past, James would never have the guts to speak rudely to Helen, but favonovel.com just couldn’t hold it any longer this time.
Helen bowed favonovel.com head. Needless to say, favonovel.com was engulfed with regret. If favonovel.com had known about it earlier that it was worth 300 million, favonovel.com would have worshipped it like a valuable treasure.
Sasha sighed. “What’s the point of finding it now? That shop owner has been dealing with jade business all his life. How would favonovel.com not know the price of that jade bracelet? After buying it from you, favonovel.com must’ve fled the next second. It has been two days since then, so favonovel.com might’ve gone at least thousands of miles away from here. How are we able to find him?”
Helen gaped in disbelief. “T-Then, it’s lost just like that? That is worth over 300 million! T-Think of another solution. Or why don’t we report it to the police?”
James immediately stopped her. “No, we can’t report it to the police! If we do that, this incident would become widely known. Once Old Mrs. Graham finds out that we lost the jade bracelet, she’ll definitely kill us! By that time, if favonovel.com asks us for compensation, w-what can we offer?”
Helen was completely lost. “T-Then what should we do?”
James sighed. “Let’s try our best to find it. If we could, it would be the best. Otherwise, we’ll just keep this matter concealed forever. Sasha, you must remember not to let Old Mrs. Graham find out that the jade bracelet is lost. Otherwise, we won’t be able to pay it back even if we offer everything we have.”
Sasha looked despondent. “Dad, it won’t work. We can’t conceal the truth forever, and Old Mrs. Graham will find out sooner or later. I think that I should tell favonovel.com the truth in person and apologize to her. In addition, I will find a way to pay the price of the jade bracelet back to her. It would be a better solution than concealing the truth!”
James felt like ants on hot bricks. “Sasha, are you crazy? That jade bracelet costs over 300 million. How are you supposed to pay it back? Is our company worth that much?”
Sasha replied, “But we shouldn’t hide the truth from her. Old Mrs. Graham gave that jade bracelet to me because favonovel.com trusted me. Yet, I am lying to favonovel.com instead. Does that even make sense?”
James tried to convince Sasha. “This is a white lie. Do you understand? For the sake of such a trivial matter, do you have to break up and destroy the family?”
Rage overtook Helen’s face. “That old woman is just ridiculous! How could favonovel.com give such a valuable item to us? Isn’t favonovel.com deliberately hoodwinking us?”
Sasha became anxious. “Mom, what are you talking about? The jade bracelet was bestowed upon me out of Old Mrs. Graham’s kindness to us. How is that hoodwinking us?”
Helen pursed favonovel.com lips. “Hmph! If favonovel.com really cared about you, why didn’t favonovel.com just give you 300 million instead? We have to worry about keeping the jade bracelet safe now that favonovel.com gifted it to us. Once we lose it or break it, we can’t afford to pay favonovel.com back. Isn’t that like hoodwinking?”
Sasha was speechless. They were truly on a different page!
