Chapter 604
As soon as the event ended, Ian received a call from Jacob. He was initially surprised, then
became a little flattered. After all, Jacob was usually very busy and rarely ever called him.
When the video call connected, Jacob asked without showing concern for Ian, “Is Yvie with you? I tried calling her, but why won’t she answer?”
Of course, lan knew Jacob wouldn’t suddenly be concerned about him. His lips twitched slightly as he replied honestly, “Yvie went to Quinn Manor to have dinner with Mrs. Quinn Senior. She’s probably busy being pestered by that old lecher, Wilson, and can’t pick up the phone.”
As he spoke, Ian gritted his teeth in anger. He wished he could rush over to Quinn Manor and give Wilson a good beating.
Jacob’s displeasure was evident as he replied, “Why is Wilson always clinging to Yvie?”
“You have no idea! I went to pick her up from school today, but Wilson beat me to it. You know what I saw? He was getting too handsy with her!
The more Ian thought about it, the angrier he became. “How shameless is he? He’s so much older yet he’s chasing after a younger girl!”
Jacob was left speechless, feeling like he had been subtly insulted.
Ian didn’t notice Jacob’s unusual demeanor and continued to rant.
“I can’t stand old men who chase after younger girls, thinking they can deceive them just because they’re older. They’re all just lecherous creeps-”
Before Ian could finish his tirade, Jacob interrupted him with a dark expression. “I’m busy. I’m hanging up.
With that, he decisively ended the call, leaving lan confused. He had been criticizing Wilson, but why had his brother’s mood worsened?
Just as Ian was pondering this, he received a message from Yvette, and his expression immediately soured. She wasn’t coming home tonight. She would be staying at Quinn Manor instead. This had to be Wilson’s doing!
At Quinn Manor, Martha was chatting with Yvette after dinner. Unable to compete with Martha for her attention, Wilson reluctantly retreated to his study to work.
Victoria sat alone on the couch, watching Martha and Yvette share laughter and smiles. She lowered her gaze, a flicker of resentment brewing within her.
“Mrs. Quinn Senior, it’s getting late. I shall take my leave now,” Victoria suddenly interrupted
Chapter 04
Martha and Yvette’s conversation.
Martha shifted her attention to Victoria and said “Okay. You should rest early since you’re not feeling well. I’ll have the butler see you home.”
Martha would personally see Yvette off, but she sent the butler to escort Victoria.
Victoria’s eyes darkened further, but her face broke into a sweet smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Quinn Senior!”
She cast a glance at Tracy, who was following closely beside her, and walked slowly toward the door.
Tracy immediately seized the opportunity to feign concern. “Ms. Olson, where’s your necklace? I don’t see it anymore.”
“My necklace?” Victoria instinctively reached for her neck, only to find it bare. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she started to panic.
“Oh no! My necklace is gone!”
“What’s going on?” Martha heard the commotion and approached with Yvette in tow.
Upon seeing Martha, Victoria’s eyes immediately reddened even more, making her appear even more pitiful.
“Mrs. Quinn Senior, my necklace is missing! It was definitely here when I came, but now it’s gone. That necklace is a keepsake from my mother. It’s very important to me, and I can’t lose
it.”
Seeing her cry so sorrowfully and knowing it was her mother’s heirloom, Martha couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
“Victoria, don’t cry. Calm down. Since you had the necklace when you arrived here, it must still be in the manor. I’ll have someone go look for it right now.”
With tears in her eyes, Victoria looked gratefully at Martha. “Thank you, Mrs. Quinn Senior.”
Martha gently patted the back of her hand. “Don’t worry, we’ll find the necklace.”
Tracy interjected, “Mrs. Quinn Senior, I don’t think Ms. Olson’s necklace simply fell off. That necklace is quite valuable, and she wears it often. Everyone in the manor has seen her with it. If it had fallen off and a maid had seen it, they would have returned it to her by now.”
After previous events, Martha had changed her attitude toward Tracy and listened impatiently as she spoke. “Mrs. Lynch, what exactly are you trying to say?”
