Chapter 112 If Only Our Daughters Were Like You
Maryâs hand that was holding the phone paused slightly. She had never imagined that the jade pendant that Justin had given her back then was now in Garyâs hands!
Butâ¦
âMr. Cutts, how would I know if you were lying to me?â The woman took a deep breath.
âI remember that the jade pendant was lost before I went to Cutts family last time.â
âYouâre telling me now that I lost it last time?â
Gary sneered, âJust donât care when it was lost. In short, this jade pendant is quite important to you.â As soon as he finished speaking, Mary received a photo from him on WeChat. In the photo, it was indeed the jade pendant that Justin had given her last time!
Maryâs heart tightened. She lowered her voice. âWhat do you want?â
âWhat do you think?â
âItâs so late. Elena was taken to the police station,â Gary said coldly. âShe is so spoiled. She is not used to living in a place like the police station.â
âI want her back.â
Mary bit her lips, looked up at William in front of her, and silently pressed the hands-free button. Garyâs proud and arrogant voice echoed in the corridor. âMary, I am not threatening you. It is just that this jade pendant is now in my hands, and it is mine.â
âIf you donât do as I say, I wonât give this to you.â
âIt is said that this jade pendant is related to your mother who you have never seen before.â
âMoreover, if I were too anxious about Elena and accidentally broke this jade pendantâ¦â
âThen you can break it.â
Before he could finish his words, William had already said coldly, âMr. Cutts, I suggest that you break this jade pendant right now.â Mary was startled and looked at William in disbelief.
Only Our Daughters Were Like You William snatched the phone from Maryâs hand.
âMr. Cutts, donât blame me for not reminding you. Right now, the only thing that your entire family can use to threaten Mary is this jade pendant, right?â The manâs voice was low and cold. âThen why donât you break this jade pendant? In this way, no matter what you do, you wonât be able to threaten us. But we can let Elena suffer as much as we want.â On the other side of the line, Gary was silent. Indeed, the only thing left in his hand was this jade pendant that could make Mary compromise. Although he threatened Mary to break the jade pendant, he could not do so at all. What was originally a threatening remark was ruthlessly exposed by William. âIf I wereyou.â Seeing that Gary was silent, William continued to speak coldly, âI will properly curry favor with Mary and think of the most valuable thing to exchange for it, not like now, using the broken jade pendant to ask her to exchange for a nightâs sleep preferential treatment for Elena.â
The manâs words were calm and low, with an irresistible majesty. In the Cutts family house, Garyâs body began to tremble. He glanced at the jade pendant on the coffee table in front of him and suddenly felt that this jade pendant was his life-saving straw.
Yes.
The words that he had just said to break the jade pendant were just to threaten a little girl like Mary who had no opinion.
When he really met a calm man like William, his trick was immediately exposed. After a while, Gary sighed, âMr. Notman.â âI want to use this jade pendant to protect Elena.â His voice was low. âA jade pendant is far less valuable than Elenaâs life.â William sneered.
âEven if the jade pendant was left behind by Maryâs mother, I believe that no matter whether her mother is dead or alive, as long as I am willing, I can find her.â
âAt that time, this jade pendant of yours will have no value.â
Garyâs hand that was holding the phone trembled fiercely. âThen Mr. Notman, what do you think I can exchange this jade pendant for?â he said through gritted teeth. âIf it doesnât meet my expectations, I will directly smash the jade pendant!â âThen I suggest you smash it now.â
Only Our Daughters Were Like You âAfter all, the person that Elena framed is not my wife. It is not good for me to intervene, but if you smash the jade pendant, I have enough reason to attack Elena.â
Gary, ââ¦â He looked at the jade pendant in front of him and felt that it was like a hot potato. Half an hour ago, when he found this jade pendant, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw!
But now, he couldnât do anything to Mary with this jade pendant.
He couldnât protect Elena, nor could he let Elena live a better life. He couldnât even smash it! So⦠this was the price of angering William? He clearly held the thing that Mary cared about the most, but he couldnât do anything! After a long time, Gary took a deep breath. âThen Mr. Notman, what can I do now?â
âKeep the things in your hands. At the most critical time, maybe you can get what you want.â âBut remember, you donât deserve to talk to me about conditions.â After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Garyâs response.
Mary was stunned.
The man stuffed the phone back into her hand and smiled.
âYes.â
Mary nodded heavily. She was indeed dumbfounded. Perhaps it was because William had always been gentle in front of her, and she had never seen such a tough and cold side of him.
Gary had just clearly called to threaten her. In the end, it became William threatening
Gary.
What else could she do other than say that he was powerful?
âGo back.â
Seeing that she was still in a daze, William helplessly raised his hand to rub her head and pulled her into the elevator. âThere are many things to do tomorrow.â
Mary nodded and left with him.
On the way back, she sat in the back seat of the car and could not help but secretly look at him from the corner of her eyes. He was leaning against the leather seat with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.
The manâs facial features were angular. Even with his eyes closed, his whole body exuded a strong aura that could not be ignored.
Ou
Write its You This man.. indeed had the capital to be arrogant and overbearing.
âAm Ithat good-looking?â William did not even open his eyes.
âI just think that you are very powerful.â Mary froze and quickly looked away. His phone call with Gary just now had made her still immersed in her admiration and shock for him.
âAfter experiencing a lot, you wonât be threatened,â
The man said in a low voice. âHave you been threatened before?â Mary pursed her lips.
The man was silent for a moment. Finally, he smiled faintly. âIn the business world, this kind of thing is very common.â Mary nodded.
That was right. He was in a big business, and this kind of thing should happen often. Seeing that she did not make a sound, the man changed the topic, âIs today the birthday of Stella?â
âYes.â
âYou still remember her?â Mary nodded. She thought that someone as busy as him would not remember a little girl he met by chance. âOf course.â âShe looks like you.â William pulled her into his arms. After a while, the manâs deep voice came from above Mary. âIf only our daughter would look like you in the future.â In his warm embrace, listening to his low and magnetic voice, Maryâs face suddenly turned hot.
âBut itâs better for her to be smart like you.â
Unlike her, she was so stupid. âThatâs right.â The man smiled.
