"Now this is my jade necklace," he said.
Angeline snatched the necklace from him and held it like a treasure in her hands, saying, "It's not yours, it's mine. Mom said that this is for her daughter-in-law."
Jay was stunned.
After he was stunned for a really long time, he asked," Did she really say that?"
Angeline nodded. "Yes."
Jay’s gaze was deep and unpredictable. He was suspicious by nature, so no matter how sincere Chloe sounded, he would still be skeptical of her sincerity.
He put the ancestral jewelry into his pocket and said t o Angeline, “Lend this to me. It’ll be useful for me.”
"Will you return it to me, then?" Angeline asked.
Jay said, "That’s hard to say."
Angeline sighed. "I shouldn't have shown the jewelry t o you, then."
Jay kissed her on the cheek. "Be a good girl and take a rest. I'm going to Fragrant Vessel Court.”
Angeline understood his intention. He was going to Grand Old Master Yorks to verify the authenticity of
the necklace, to make sure that Chloe was not lying.
"Okay."
Jay left Chateau de Selene and came to Fragrant Vessel Court.
Grand Old Master Yorks was daydreaming on a recliner in the courtyard.
Ever since his daughter's disappearance, Grand Old Master Yorks had been really worried about Chloe even though he did not say anything.
For many days, there had been no news of Chloe and h e was worried that something had happened to her.
Jay went straight to the recliner next to him and lay down, asking lazily, "What are you thinking about, old man?”
"Nothing." Grand Old Master Yorks knew that Chloe had left a scar in Jay’s heart, hence he was apprehensive about mentioning her name to him for fear that he would trigger the antipathy in him.
