All the audience gaped at the LED screen, thinking they could enjoy the tidbit.
"Show your thing to Mr. Jones," a man behind the girl reminded her in a low voice.
The girl returned to her senses. "OK."
She pulled out a shabby box, looking nervous but trying to keep calm.
Then she passed the box to the man opposite.
All people on the scene recognized the man sitting at the table was the one who wanted to tell them a story.
Catherine closed her eyes, trying to adjust her breath.
'Shit! Damned Linda Chambers! How dare she sell the bracelet and ring!'
On the screen, Aston picked up the box and carefully studied the jewelry. There was a ring and a bracelet in the box.
Catherine thought she had failed completely, struggling. However, Ivan's bodyguards gripped her more tightly.
"How much are you selling them?" Aston asked in a low voice.
Linda blurted out, "1. 2 million dollars."
Catherine was shocked by how stupid she was, wishing to kill her immediately.
Linda offered such a low price, so the man must have realized she had stolen them and suspected her.
A short silence appeared on the screen.
Then the girl changed her wording. "One million would be fine." Evidently, she wanted to get rid of the jewelry as soon as possible.
The deal was made. Aston reminded his bodyguard to send someone to watch Linda as he suspected her.
That was the end of the surveillance video.
Holding the microphone, Aston said, "Ms. Collins, you asked her to replace all four pieces of the Clover series. If not mistaken, only earrings and a necklace are in your box."
Catherine was retrained by the two bodyguards, looking embarrassed. All the audience gazed at her with inquisitive eyes.
Aston opened the box in everyone's presence, proving his guess was real.
