Viola scratched her hair and sat by the window, with her arms around her chest. Her eyes were filled with helplessness.
In the living room downstairs.
Maynard leaned back on the sofa, with a cigarette between his right hand's fingers, and lit it with the limited edition lighter in his left hand. "Miss Lu, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to give this to you." He opened a black box and pushed it on the table in front of Maynard.
Maynard cast a casual glance at them. After a pause, he asked casually, "Where did they come from?"
"Several days ago, I saw Miss Qi bring this necklace to the jewelry store for exchange of money. I was surprised that she wanted to save Sea." "She really loves Sean. It seems that she called the police just because she was angry," said Yesenia with a sigh
When the two hooligans took the necklace, it aroused the suspicion of the jewelry store staff. They called Yesenia and told her, which gave her a chance to destroy their relationship.
With a poker face, Maynard put out the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "I accept the necklace. I'll pay for it to your account. Steward, see it out."
Ignoring the instant sullen face of Yesenia, Maynard took the necklace and went to the room on the second floor. In a low voice, he asked, "What's your decision?"
Upon hearing what he had said, Viola stood up all of a sudden and clenched her teeth, "Three years. I will put up with it!"
After careful consideration, she knew that she still could not pay, anyway, the advantage was taken by him, so she just put up with him for a while.
"That's great." Maynard was not surprised at all. "There is one thing you must do," he said
"What is it?"
"You only need to act nice as Mrs. Chu in front of the man who knows that we're married, but you can't take the initiative to mention and admit it in front of an outsider,"
Maynard sat on the sofa, with his index finger knocking slightly on his knee.
"No problem. I'm glad."
Hearing that, Maynard sneered.
With her hands clenched, she tried to endure it, "If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go to work."
As soon as she finished saying that, she didn't wait for the Maynard to say a word and walked to the door. Just as she stepped out of the threshold, she heard his voice from behind.
"Wait!"
Viola turned around and put on a smile. "Mr. Chu, what else can I do for you?"
"Do you know it?" Maynard opened the box and the sun shone through the window. The necklace inside was giving off a very bright light.
Viola walked back and took a close look. The necklace was the one she lost. She was shocked and confused. "Why do you have this necklace?"
"Did you throw it?" Maynard picked up the necklace and laughed in a strange way.
She reached out her hand, trying to figure out if it was her ring, but was dodged by Maynard the moment she stretched out her hand. She jumped up high in the air and managed to calm down. "No."
"Really?" Maynard said in a cheerful voice, which sounded casual. "I remember I sent you the same one. Where did you put it?"
Upon hearing what he had said, Viola's heart skipped a beat. She looked away and stammered, " They... They were taken away. "
All of a sudden, Maynard pressed her against the wall and lowered his head, with his forehead against hers. They were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing.
Viola panicked and pushed him away with all her strength. She glared at him, "I said I didn't lose it. Is there any problem that I put it in my bag?"
"Okay, I'll see it tomorrow." Maynard squinted at her with a faint smile.
Almost driven mad, she tried to keep calm. "I'll do what you want."
Even for her own safety, she wouldn't give him a chance to show his value on the issue.
A smile appeared at the corners of Maynard's long and narrow eyes as he walked out of the door.
Just in case, after a while, Viola stretched out her head and saw him coming downstairs. She ran to the window, looked around and then saw the necklace hanging on a two meter high and thick mango tree opposite the window.
Viola relieved. She hurried outside and came to the tree. She reached out her hand and found that she couldn't reach the tree, so she took off her shoes, grabbed the tree and climbed up. She stood between trees with one hand to keep balance, and raised her hand on tiptoe to pick up the necklace
"You're a bad woman. You want to take my daddy away from me. I'll teach you a lesson!" The little girl ran over and found a stick out of nowhere to hit her.
Viola's hand was hit right and it hurt so much that she let go of her hand. As a result, she fell over the ground and landed on the ground with mud scattered on the ground.
"Humph!" The little girl grimaced and ran away proudly with the stick.
Viola managed to get up from the ground. Very pathetically, she bore the pain of her body and climbed up again before she finally took the necklace.
Suddenly, she remembered something and screamed.
