Chapter 756
"Dad, Mom"
Dorothy called out nervously. Then, she looked at Olivia again before shaking her head. She muttered, "It's fine..."
Mrs. Jameson wiped Dorothy's tears for her while feeling distressed and said in a soft voice, "Do you think I'm an idiot? You're crying, so how can things be fine?"
Then, she looked at Fabian. "Fabian, what's wrong?"
Fabian glanced at Jimmy and knew he could not hide it anymore. So, he said, "Dolly lost the family heirloom."
'What? She lost it?"
Gordon looked at Dorothy angrily. "Dolly, how did this happen? How could you lose such an important thing?"
"Dad, this has nothing to do with Dolly. I think someone stole it."
"What?" Gordon flew into a rage again. "Someone stole it? Why aren't you arresting the thief?"
Mrs. Jameson nudged Gordon. "Gordon, calm down. Your daughter is so sad, and you're throwing a tantrum?”
Gordon always had a horrible temper. A wedding was meant to be a happy occasion, but something as awful as this had happened. How could he stay calm?
Initially, Dorothy was going to marry Zac, but in the end, she married an illegitimate child. He was already not happy about it.
This was not four years ago, and he did not need Jimmy's favors, so of course he did not hide his temper.
Jimmy spoke up to soothe the situation. "Fabian, tell them to lock the hotel down and bring Dolly inside."
Fabian looked at Jimmy awkwardly, but he did not move.
'What are you waiting for? Why are you still standing here?"
Fabian lowered his head to nudge Dorothy when he saw Jimmy getting mad. He asked, "Dolly, are you sure? Now that Dad is here, you can tell him. He will get you justice."
Maybe it was because of her cancer and depression.
"I'm sorry, Madam. I'm not Olivia. My name is Phoebe James."
"Phoebe James?" Mrs. Jameson was in a daze. Then, she nodded. "Oh, Ms. James, I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I'm used to it."
After she said that, she looked at Jimmy. "Dad, I didn't steal her necklace. If you don't believe me, you can look at the surveillance footage. I never left the room."
Jimmy narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Come upstairs with me. Don’t embarrass yourselves here."
However, Olivia did not want to resolve this in private because this was detrimental to her.
"Dad, we lost something, so how is it embarrassing? And you're accusing me, so I think I should prove my innocence."
Olivia looked at Dorothy. "I didn't do it. If we solve this upstairs, other people might think you let me off because I'm your daughter-in-law. If that's the case, won’t others look at us with contempt?"
