When Tina returned to the White Family, she began to rummage through the house.
When Marina heard the noise, she came in and saw a mess. She thought there was a burglar at home and was shocked, but she didn't expect to see Tina behind the door.
"Tina, didn't you go to Europe? Why are you back?"
"Mom, I need to tell you something."
Tina told Marina what she knew.
Marina's first reaction was the same as Tina's. She didn't expect that Jessica was so lucky. She thought that the buyer who would be willing to pay such a high price must be a fat old man from abroad. No young and handsome man was willing to pay such a high price to sleep with a woman. They didn't expect that Jessica actually slept with Oliver.
This news, like the news that Oliver had recovered, made Marina have a headache.
"Tina, we have to make a long-term plan. Let's reconsider it. You will definitely win Oliver's heart back. We can't let that b*tch take the credit."
"Mom, my phone number had already been given to the man who's looking for the tulip earrings. They'll contact me later. Now finding the necklace is the priority. The tulip on the pendant is the same as the one on the earrings. We can cast the pendant into an earring."
"Where did you put that necklace?"
"I don't know. I'm still looking for it."
"Our family's future is up to that necklace. We have to find it no matter what."
Simon also received new clues and found the woman with the tulip earrings, who happened to be from Birmingham.
'What a coincidence.'
Oliver asked Simon to contact that woman as soon as possible.
Simon did not dare to delay at all. In the past few days, Oliver had been in a bad mood, and Simon had to bear it. Suddenly, there was a clue and they saw the progress. Even Oliver's tense frown had relaxed a little.
Simon called and heard a young woman saying that she did have a pair of tulip earrings. When Simon asked her to meet him for details, he didn't expect the woman claimed that she had just returned from abroad and was jet-lagged. She didn't want to go out now and agreed to meet him next week.
After discussing the time and place of the meeting, Tina hung up the phone, feeling nervous.
"Mom, we don't have much time. If we can't find the necklace, let's cast another one according to this pattern."
"No, if Oliver finds out it's fake, he will kill us."
They rummaged through the house for a few days and finally found it on the neck of a toy barbie doll in the storage room. This barbie doll was the last birthday gift that Jessica's mother bought for her. It was secretly stolen by Tina, which made Jessica cry for a long time.
The moment Tina found the necklace, she hugged Marina excitedly. "Mom, we finally found it. That b*tch isn't the luckiest one in the world."
"My Tina is beautiful and smart. You will definitely kick that slut out of the Williams Family, just like we kicked her out of the White Family."
Marina went to a shop where she often custom-made jewelry. She asked their best craftsman to make a new earring out of the tulip pendant and secretly gave him a sum of money and urged him to finish it as soon as possible according to the picture.
Tina arrived early at the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel. She wore large sunglasses, which covered two-thirds of her face, and one ear stud.
After a while, two men came to sit down across her. She did not know either of them. She was sure that the person who called her was Simon. She did not expect Oliver to send someone else. Oliver was terrifyingly meticulous.
"Hello, Miss. I'm Gadway. Nice to meet you."
Tina replied coolly, "Hello, Mr. Gadway..."
She looked at these two men through her sunglasses. One of them had a toolbox in his hand. She had guessed that they would send an appraiser over.
Gadway went straight to the point and asked her to remove the tulip earring from her ear. Then he handed it to the appraiser next to him.
The appraiser took out his professional tools and soon got the results. He nodded to Mr. Gadway.
The appraiser left first. Gadway wanted to confirm the flight ticket and hotel with Tina and asked her to repeat what had happened that night.
That night, Jessica had been with her before entering the hotel room, so she answered truthfully. As for what happened after Jessica entered the room, no one knew. Anyway, she had put something in Jessica's wine so that Jessica also forgot what had happened that day. Even till now, Jessica thought that it was Vincent who slept with her that night.
When being asked about what happened in the room, Tina began to sob in a low voice. "I was getting engaged the next day. I drank too much that night. I didn't expect that something like that would happen. I didn't dare to tell anyone at that time. I didn't know if I offended someone when I was studying in Holland and they did this to me."
The more Tina said, the violently she cried.
Seeing this, Gadway left her a phone number and stood up to leave.
