Chapter 94 The Necklace Was Missing Cherry was really surprised. She didnât even have time to hide her expression. She blurted out, âDonât you like.
Alston?â
Huldaâs eyes darkened. She lowered her head and pretended to be upset. âYes, I like Alston, but I am not good. enough for him because of my poor background. He doesnât like me and even hates me now. Since there is no hope, everything is in vain no matter how much I love him!â
After hearing this, Cherry snorted in satisfaction. âYou seem to have self-knowledge.â
Hulda pursed her lips and endured her sarcasm. She said softly, âTo you guys, Ivan may be a useless playboy.
But for our ordinary people, he is still a man we look up to.â
âThis marriage is not up to me.â Cherry frowned. âEven if I donât marry him, Clare will not choose you because of your poor background. And you had an affair with Alston before. How could he let you marry his loving son?â
âItâs not a problem. I can settle it down as long as you are firm in your mind.â Hulda smiled. âBesides, you also got engaged to Alston before, didnât you?â
âYou!â Cherry glared at her as if the engagement was her sore point. She said, âFine. Thatâs a deal. I will go with you to get the thing. When I marry Alston, my engagement with Ivan will naturally be voided. By that time, if you want to hook up with Ivan, you need to work on your own.â
Huldaâs eyes flickered. âDonât worry. I will marry Ivan someday.â
She had been following Clare these days. She knew he was eager to get Cherry and Ivan engaged because he wanted Cherry to have Ivanâs child earlier.
When Ivan came out of prison, she would try to have Ivanâs child with a scheme. As long as she had this pawn, she would marry Ivan one day with her effort.
After they came to an agreement, Hulda took her to the place where she lived.
Cherry looked at the simple house. The doors and walls were covered with small advertisements, and the stairway was muddy and full of foul water. She covered her nose in disgust and couldnât help saying, âIt makes me gross.â
Huldaâs fingers clenched tightly. The corners of her mouth were full of sneers. Cherry was a spoilt girl who didnât know the hardship of people. She couldnât even stand seeing this.
âHurry up. Iâll wait for you outside,â Cherry ordered in a muffled voice, covering her mouth and nose.
Hulda responded and took out a tightly packed bag from her home. When she handed it to Cherry, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes but she still handed it over.
âHere. Make good use of this thing. It will help you sow discord between Alston and Cynthia.â
Cherry hugged the bag. Her eyes were gleaming, full of excitement. She had already thought of a plan in her mind, and she couldnât wait to do it.
âCynthia walked on air these days. Itâs time to let her suffer.â
Cherry sneered. She bid farewell to Hulda and left.
Looking at her arrogant figure walking away, Hulda clenched her fists fiercely.
Cherry was spoiled by Beck and Jane. She never considered the consequences when she did things. Now that she had that thing, Hulda didnât know what her next plan was.
If she offended Alston and the Green family, would Beck and Jane protect her and clean up the mess for her?
Thinking about it, she was a little envious of Cherry. When she returned to the Taylor family after being fired by Smith Group, she thought that her parents and brother would treat her well. Even if they didnât treat her well, she thought they would not beat or scold her at will like before.
But she was wrong. The three of them were kind to her for a while at first. But after all the money and valuable things on her were taken away by them, they drove her out of the house without hesitation.
She lived on the streets and suffered a lot. When she was desperate, Clare left Smith Group and gave her a hand.
She accepted without even thinking about it. She became meek and subservient in front of Clare, putting away all her ambitions.
But Hulda grew up in the poorest area of Fort. She yearned for money and status more than anyone else. She thought that as long as she could reach a higher status, she could hide her poor background.
For now, among the person around her, the easiest top dog to play up to should be Ivan.
As for Alston, she might not be able to get him in her life.
Although she couldnât get Alston, she didnât want to see other women own him, especially Cynthia.
Thinking of Cynthia, Huldaâs eyes were filled with anger. That woman was so lucky. They had shared the same fate before, but why was she so lucky? She had Green Group as her backer and she was also favored by Alston. Everything was so enviable. Hulda wouldnât wait to replace her.
So she took advantage of Cherry and expected to enjoy Cynthiaâs suffering.
After finding the donator of the kidney, Cynthia went to Maple Garden to take care of Lynn whenever she had time.
During the lunch break, she was about to ask Helen to go out for dinner. When she entered the elevator, someone suddenly rushed out of the elevator and ran past her in a hurry. That person bumped into her hard. Cynthia held on to the elevator door and managed to keep her feet.
âWhy are you in such a hurry? At least say sorry.â The nurse on the side muttered angrily. She looked at Cynthia with concern and said, âDoctor Miller, are you okay?â
âIâm fine!â Cynthia frowned. As she moved her feet, she suddenly felt a tingling pain in her ankle. She was wearing shoes with a little heel today. When she got a bump, she sprained her ankle and it looked a little swollen.
It seemed that she couldnât go out to eat with Helen today.
Cynthia sighed. She said to the nurse who was about to go down, âIf you see Doctor Helen, tell her that I wonât be able to have lunch with her later. Let her and Doctor Carter eat first.â
âOkay.â The nurse responded. Cynthia walked out of the elevator and walked slowly towards the office, holding the wall.
The sprain was slight, and it should be better later. Cynthia didnât plan to apply for medicine. When she walked to the office, she breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to change her clothes, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She touched her neck and tensed up immediately.
That ruby necklace her mother gave her was gone!
Cynthia was anxious. She hurriedly dragged her painful feet to search along the route just now. She looked for it inch by inch.
When arriving at the elevator, she didnât find any trace of the necklace.
She was flustered. When she changed her clothes and was about to go down for lunch, the necklace was still on her neck. The necklace pendant was not small. If it fell off, she should notice it.
Cynthia suddenly remembered the man who rushed out of the elevator in a hurry. Her eyes lit up. It must be that man who stole her necklace.
That necklace was very important to her. Cynthia went to the monitoring room without any pause, trying to find the trace of that man.
After checking the cameras, she found that the man had already left the hospital. Cynthia was a little upset. She took out her phone to call the police. The necklace was very valuable. As long as she called the police, the police would help her find it.
As she turned on her phone, she saw that Jane had sent her a picture, which was the ruby necklace she had lost.
When Cynthia clicked on it, the picture was instantly withdrawn.
Cynthia was outraged. It seemed that Jane had sent that man to steal her necklace.
She called Jane directly and her call was soon picked up.
Cynthiaâs eyes were full of coldness. âIt seems that you are waiting for my call. Jane, why did you steal my necklace?*
âCynthia, donât be so angry. Itâs not stealing. I havenât been able to talk to you recently, so I can only borrow your necklace.â
Janeâs voice was calm and slow, which made Cynthia furious.
âStop talking nonsense. Give it back to me, or I will call the police immediately. Your Miller Group is already on the verge of collapse. If you get involved in this lawsuit, Iâm afraid you will lose the last respect.â
As she finished, Jane became annoyed. Her voice became sharp, from which it could tell that she was angry on the other side.
âCynthia, you got a sharp tongue. With the Green Group as your backing, your confidence has grown a lot.
Youâre not a timid rabbit who survived under my control anymore. Humph!â
