Hutton seemed taken aback.
âJust that?â
âYes.
â
After a brief silence, Hutton said, âRosalynn, this is very strange.
That man broke in and stole just a jade pendant.
Is this pendant some sort of priceless treasure?â
While the jade pendant might not be valuable in any conventional sense, it did hold a significant secret.
Rosalynn replied, âHutton, can you dig up any information about that man?â
âIâLL start investigating right away.
â
After a brief pause, Hutton continued, âRosalynn, there must be someone behind all of this.
I mean, your surveillance camera wouldnât be destroyed for no reason.
You should really call the police right away.
â
Rosalynn replied, âIâll go to the police station tomorrow.
â
âRosalynn, change those locks as soon as you can.
And please, be extra vigilant about your safety from now on.
Maybe you should ask Brian to beef up security around you,â Hutton urged, worry creeping into his words.
What did he mean by saying she should ask Brian to send more people to protect her?
At this moment, all he cared about was his mother, and he probably wouldnât have the time to worry about her.
âAlright, Iâm hanging up now,â Rosalynn said, trying to hide the bitterness welling up inside her.
âHold on,â Hutton interjected.
âIs there anything else?â
âRosalynn, you havenât forgotten about the opening of my company tomorrow, have you?â Hutton asked.
âOf course not, Hutton.
I remember,â Rosalynn replied with a smile.
âWill you be bringing Brian along?â
Rosalynn hesitated for a moment, then responded, âIâll probably come alone.
â
Hearing this, Hutton asked, âRosalynn, did you have a fight with Brian? Was it because of his mother?â
Hutton was a smart man.
Ever since Rosalynn asked him to investigate Brad, he had been thinking about this possibility.
