Chapter 507 Never Offend a Woman
Frostine remained silent as she was lost in her own thoughts.
Then, Elise placed her hand on Frostine’s shoulder and said, “I know that you want to look for Clemence right now. I also do, but out of the two of us, who do you think has a higher chance of finding her?”
“You.” Frostine slouched sadly.
“The plane is landing soon. You still have 5 minutes to think of whether you want to continue waiting aimlessly or help me to find her soon.” Elise patted Frostine’s shoulder before withdrawing her hand.
“There’s no need to think. I’ll follow you,” Frostine answered with firm eyes. “I believe you will be able to find her.”
“Do you trust me that much?” Elise chuckled.
Frostine explained, “It’s because she trusts you a lot. Since you’re someone whom she trusts, I’ll trust you.”
Elise smiled without saying anything.
When the plane landed, Elise entrusted Tom to take care of Frostine and the jadeite. “I want you to take care of that and Frostine. I will bring away the blood jadeite with me, so don’t worry about it. As for the reopening of our business, we’ll just proceed with what we have discussed before with Frostine in charge of the designs. I want Shaw’s Jewelry Co. to make a name for itself at Landred City’s jewelry convention next month.”
In one month’s time, all the jewelry companies in the country would exhibit their new designs at the event, so it would be helpful to gain more clues about Clemence’s missing husband if they could locate her.
Of course, all of this depended on whether Clemence was really missing.
Whether her company—‘Alexis’—would get a slice of the action in the jewelry industry depended heavily on their performance at the convention.
After arriving at her hotel room, Elise had a bite before unlocking her safe.
The blood jadeite was peacefully resting in the safe as if it was a beating heart.
She couldn’t help but touch the contour of the jewel one more time.
This was the second blood jadeite that she found in a month.
It was rare for any jadeite to be in different colors other than green. Whenever that happened, it was often accompanied by strange changes in its material.
The only possible cause that Elise could think of in this case was radiation. That’s right. The origin of these blood jadeites must be releasing an unreported radiation, which in turn caused the change in color.
Radiation wasn’t allowed to be present for a long time in any country unless it was privately or spontaneously created, like being produced by shady organizations working in the black market.
The first thought that came to her mind was that these blood jadeites could have been the work of those missing physicists.
However, she couldn’t convince herself that the sole purpose of those physicists in creating the radiation was to produce these rare jadeites.
It all circled back to the physicists.
She unconsciously clenched the blood jadeite as her gaze gradually drifted away. This thing holds the secret of those missing scientists and the reason why Grandma and Alexander were poisoned. I need to investigate the secret.
After a while, she snapped back to reality and locked her safe again.
Just as she pressed the last number of the password, Elise suddenly thought of someone whom she had forgotten, so she murmured, “It’s time to settle it once and for all with Faye.”
