Lily didn't care about the unusual silence at first, but when she went upstairs and bypassed Lucia's room to go back to her own room, she accidentally heard the slightly suppressed anger from Lucia.
"You still haven't found her? Why are you so inefficient? You have looked for her everywhere for half a month, but you still can't find her. You guys are really a bunch of waste."
Lily stopped subconsciously, her eyebrows twisted.
"You have ten days. If you can't find her in ten days, you'll all die!"
Find someone? Was Lucia looking for someone? And she looked for someone for half a month. Lily suddenly realized that she was looking for her mother!
"Mom." Suddenly, with a sound of door opening, Claire's voice came out.
Lily immediately turned around, pretended to go upstairs and walked past in front of Lucia's door.
"Lily, you didn't come back too late!" Seeing Lily, Claire certainly wouldn't let her go if she didn't taunt her.
"Yes." Lily turned around, shrugged and smiled. "As father said, if you do well in your study, you can come back home a little late."
Dillon did say that, but it was a long time ago.
Claire glared at her. "Then we won't wait for you in the future! Don't forget that we don't have a driver to pick you up at home."
"I can take a taxi home." Lily turned around and left with a careless smile. But the smile on her face froze immediately when she turned around, hoping that Claire didn't notice that she was eavesdropping in front of Lucia's door.
"What's wrong?" Opening the door, Lucia looked at the angry Claire and asked in confusion.
"It's all because of that little bitch. She's getting more and more arrogant now!" Claire said with hatred.
Lucia ignored what Claire said. She looked nervously in the direction where Lily left and asked, "Was she here just now?"
"When I came out, I saw her go upstairs. She did well in her study. So what? Humph!" With an unhappy face, Claire took Lucia's hand and went into her room. "Mom, come in. I have something to tell you."
Lucia looked at the direction of Lily's room doubtfully, then she was pulled into the room by Claire.
After Lily went back to her room, she felt very uneasy. She couldn't figure out why Lucia was still looking for her mother, and why was she still unwilling to let her mother go.
At the time, the divorce agreement signed by her mother who was almost equivalent to going out of the house. She didn't take away any valuable things from Qiao 's family, and Dillon 's mind was completely out of her mother. But why is she still chasing her mother?
Lucia couldn't find her mother in a short time, but there was no one to help her. What if her mother was found?
No, Lily can't sit still and did nothing. Suddenly, Lily's eyes lit up. Only Colin could believe. Without thinking too much, she stood up and went to the house where the servants lived in the backyard.
The next morning, after Lucia had freshened up, she began to rummage through the dresser for jewelries. However, she couldn't find the jewelries that she was looking for.
"Dillon, have you seen the pearl necklace you gave me last time?" While looking for it, she asked Dillon who was in his suit.
"How do I know where you put it?" Dillon glance at her and answered.
She searched the jewelry boxes, drawers and even wardrobes, but still couldn't find it. Lucia walked out of the room and asked Jane who was busy cleaning the house downstairs, "Jane, when you were cleaning the room, have you seen my pearl necklace?"
"No, I didn't," Jane replied, shaking her head.
Lucia's face darkened at once, and she said, "That necklace is worth eight hundred thousand dollars. How could it disappear without a reason? It must have been taken by someone. You should ask people to search everywhere and search every corner of the room!"
"Yes, madam." At present, in this family, no one dared not to obey Lucia.
When Lily got up, the whole Qiao family was in a mess. Everyone was busy looking for Lucia's necklace.
As soon as she finished cleaning and walked out of her room, a servant came to search for her room.
"Miss Lily, we have to search your room. This is Mrs. Lucia's instruction." The servant lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Why do you search my room?" Lily asked in confusion.
"Mrs. Claire's pearl necklace is lost. Ask everyone to search."
