âWhatâs wrong? Someone is going to steal things from you?â Victoria was confused.
Flora, who was taking photos, stuck out her tongue. She was the one who wanted to steal things from Maximilian. How would Victoria treat her if Maximilian told her what was going on? Would Victoria drive her out?
Flora suddenly became nervous and looked at Maximilian in a pitiful way.
Maximilian curled up his lip and said with a smile, âWell, someone wanted to steal the jade dragon I gave your father last time, so I am considering sending him a fake one. There is a saying, the concern of the thief is worse than the theft itself.â
Victoria nodded and answered, âWell, itâs true. But whatâs the relation between that thief and Floraâ¦â
Victoria stopped, glancing at her.
She was a little doubtful towards her. The reason that she was willing to take her home was because she wanted to observe what exactly Flora was going to do. However, now she was jealous of her because she seemed to have a secret with Maximilian.
Flora was very confused. She couldnât even feel her brain working and the smartness she showed on a daily basis had gone completely. She stared at the jade dragon in front of her in a trance and didnât dare to raise her head.
Maximilian hinted Victoria and said with a smile, âAfter Connor told me the situation, I let Flora and Canaan help me contact them.â
Although knowing he was not telling the truth, Victoria didnât ask further questions because he had given her a hint.
âWell, youâre so bold. What would happen to them if they are exposed?â Victoria blamed him.
Maximilian smiled awkwardly, held her in his arms, and said something nice to her, trying to comfort her.
Flora finally came back to normal. She sent the pictures to Harley after taking photos carefully.
Harley, who was waiting for her message, immediately picked up the phone when hearing the vibration.
He held his breath after seeing the pictures Flora sent. He zoomed in the picture and watched it carefully.
âItâs of good quality, made in ancient time, and was perfect in gloss. It is a treasure to hand down. I donât know whether this is the key or not. Maybe itâs the key because the jade can match the dragon sect.â Harley whispered and was uncertain.
He picked up the phone and went to Dragon Queenâs room after thinking for a while.
He opened the door, crept around and finally rested his glance on the bed.
Dragon Queen was wearing a transparent yarn nightgown. She lied on the bed sluggishly, showing her perfect figure, gorgeous and tempting.
Harley suddenly felt his head was dizzy because Dragon Queen looked so attractive. Although he had served her for a long time, he seldom saw her in this way.
âWhatâs wrong? What are you doing here?â Dragon Queenâs voice was soft and gentle.
Harley immediately lowered his head and answered in a respectful manner, âFlora has sent me the message that she has found a jade dragon that looks like the key. I donât know whether it is true or not, so Iâm here to ask for your help.
âWell, good job. Come and let me have a look.â Dragon Queen couldnât wait to see it.
Harley hurriedly came to the bed and gave his phone to her with both hands.
Dragon Queen checked the photo of the dragon jade and looked at it carefully.
She curled up her eyebrows after a while, âIt seems to be real. I donât know much about this and canât tell exactly whether it is the key or not. I think we can have this. Having something is better than having nothing.â
âOk, then I will let Flora steal it directly.â
âAre you mad? You mean we will risk the danger of exposing her because of it? It will be a great loss if we fail. Or is it because you couldnât wait asking Flora back?â Dragon Queen replied in a cold voice.
Harley trembled a little and answered fearfully, âOf course not. I promise. I am just so excited that I have lost my mind. I will arrange someone to steal it now.â
âWell, thatâs fine. Be smart. If you screw it up again, donât blame me for doing something mercilessly.â
âYes, I will deal with it properly. Donât worry.â
Dragon Queen waved her hands sluggishly, hinting Harley to leave her room.
After getting out, Harley gradually straightened up his body and clenched his right hand, seemly venting his anger.
âThere will come a day when Iâ¦â
He looked around vigilantly before finishing this sentence. He thought he said too much. It was not the time for him to be bold.
Harley said with darkened face after getting to the living room, âBring Barnaby here.â
âYes.â
Harley had sponsored a bunch of thieves and gangsters and didnât let they do many things in normal days. However, if he needed, they would help him at any time.
Barnaby used to be a thief and went to more than ten provinces to steal things. He had never been caught. Thus, he was called the master of thief among his peers.
However, their age had already gone because people who went out with their purses decreased dramatically and it became harder and harder for him to make a living. So he didnât hesitate when Harley asked to hire him as his assistant.
Barnaby, who was short and thin with a treacherous look, hurriedly arrived at the living room.
âHarley, whatâs wrong?â
âWell, I need you to help me with something. Flora has found something there, but it is not easy for her to get that out. Can you help me?â
âThatâs easy. I have been doing this for a life time and have never failed in stealing things.â Barnaby petted his chest and said confidently.
âWell, I know that; otherwise I wonât ask you here. I will send Floraâs phone number as well as the photo to you. You can contact her and know where the thing is.â
Then Harley sent him the information.
Barnaby looked at the photo of dragon and answered when licking his lip, âThatâs a nice antique. I can go there tonight. Donâtâ worry. I will bring it back to you successfully.â
