Maybe Ivan gave the mysterious person her number.
Thinking of this, Ariana agreed to the friend request and sent a message âHello.
Who is this?â
Mr.
H didnât respond for a long time.
Impatient, Ariana sent another message.
âPlease give me an address, and Iâll send the necklace back to you.
Also, I just received a dress from you.
What is the meaning of this?â @
She waited a few seconds longer and was getting impatient again when Mr.
H finally replied.
He sent her an address with the message, âIf you want to return the necklace, go to the address alone tomorrow night and give it to me personally.
â
Ariana frowned at his proposition.
Ivan had joked that the mysterious person probably liked her, and that was why the other party had given her the necklace.
But she felt more uncomfortable than grateful.
Now that Mr.
H had sent her a luxurious dress in such a conspicuous manner and was now asking her to meet somewhere alone, it wasnât strange for Arianaâs alarm bells to go off and her imagination to run wild.
She could only assume Mr.
H was a wealthy, powerful, and lustful old man who was making a move on her by fiercely chasing her after they had met once.
Ariana sneered to herself and typed a brief reply, âIâll take the necklace.
Thank you for the gift.
â
She was blatantly refusing to meet him at the place he suggested.
She was about to blacklist him from her contact list when he suddenly sent her an image.
She clicked to open it and discovered it was a photo of a ruby necklace.
She recognized it as the one from her motherâs belongings that Glenda had sold off.

The image was followed by another message, âWhat about this? Donât you want it?â @
Ariana was shocked.
How could this freak have her motherâs necklace? And judging from his words, he knew what the necklace meant to Ariana.
Who the hell was he? @
She tried to pry out Mr.
Hâs true identity several times, but he didnât give her a direct answer.
All he asked was that Ariana go to the address alone tomorrow if she wanted the ruby necklace back.
Mr.
H no longer replied after that.
After much thought, Ariana finally decided to go meet that mysterious person tomorrow.
Her motherâs belongings were precious to her.
Even if this was all a trap, she needed to jump straight into it.
But that didnât mean she was fearless.
It wasnât easy to crack the other partyâs identity.
Throwing caution to the wind in this situation would put her in inevitable danger.

So, on her way home from work, she visited a weapons store and purchased a taser.
She also sent Sonia the address where tomorrowâs appointment would take place.
Ariana instructed her friend that if she didnât contact her before tomorrow at midnight, Sonia should call the police.
Sonia grimaced upon seeing the familiar address.
It was a famous, high-end private club in Eleymond.
All of its members were known to be big shots.
Even the wealthy people might not be able to enter its doors.
After a lengthy and arduous wait, the time for her appointment finally drew near.
Ariana swiftly put on the dress and went straight to the address the mysterious person gave her.
The taxi stopped in front of a low-key yet luxurious building.
As soon as Ariana got out of the taxi, she was shocked by the luxury cars casually displayed in the open parking lot outside.

Each of them was easily worth tens of millions of dollars while the people in attendance were all decked out in the finest apparel.
Even if sheâd never been here, Ariana already knew what this place was.
No wonder Sonia was so surprised last night.
The receptionist at the door noticed Ariana arriving via a taxi before coldly asking, âInvitation or membership card, please? You canât enter if you donât have either one.
â
âWait a minute.
â
Ariana withdrew the invitation from one of her bagâs inner pockets.
The receptionistâs cold attitude drastically shifted as he respectfully led her into the club and said, âOh, Ms.
Edwards.
Weâve been waiting for you for quite some time! Please follow me.
â
Confused, Ariana followed him in.
Meanwhile, Jasper and Brielle got out of a Bentley outside.
