Chapter 281
“What? Is it necessary to investigate this further?” Selina raised her hand
arrogantly and proudly declared, “Most of the people here witnessed it. The
necklace was around my neck. Old Mr. Quillen, if you doubt it, feel free to
check the hotel surveillance.”
“That’s right! I can vouch for it!”
“I saw it too!”
“This is the precious token of affection that Mr. Lane gave to Selina. It’s worth
30 million!”
Sure enough, a group of people at the scene voiced their support for Selina’s
claim.
Roselynn became anxious, unable to comprehend the situation. Did
Mackenzie steal the necklace?
No, that can’t be true!
She firmly believed that Mackenzie was not such a person.
Terence, the cunning old fox, continued to maintain a sly smile. He didn’t
doubt that so many people at the scene were lying, but he was well aware
that they had misunderstood a crucial detail.
Instead of questioning Selina directly, he turned to Isaac and inquired, “Isaac,
is it true? Did you purchase this necklace for 30 million? Where did you
acquire it?”
If someone else had asked him that question, Isaac would have proudly
admitted to it and boasted about the purchase. However, when he caught
sight of the look in Terence’s eyes, he felt something was amiss, and a strong
sense of guilt washed over him.
Isaac wouldn’t hesitate to show any mercy to anyone else in the room, but
Terence was someone he wouldn’t dare offend.
The Quillen family’s influence in Yeringham ran deep like an ancient tree
firmly rooted in the soil. They had connections in the business world, the
government, and even the underworld. They were on an entirely different
level compared to the Lane family.
If Isaac had a clear conscience, he wouldn’t be afraid of the Quillen family’s
power. After all, Yeringham was a society governed by the rule of law.
The problem was, he was lying.
Furthermore, he had a gut feeling that the genuine golden jade phoenix
necklace might have some connection to the elderly man standing before
him.
“Well… It’s true that I bought it and gave it to Selina…” Isaac attempted to
redirect the focus and provide selectively truthful information.
deceive me! So, is this necklace truly worth 30 million?”
million… B–But… it’s close enough!”
