Chapter 968
Spoiled by the President
Nell stood there with the jade pendant in her hand. Her heart, however, was very heavy.
After a while, she took a deep breath and walked outside while holding the jade pendant.
Meanwhile, in the manor behind a stone gambling site...
Early in the morning, Sean had realized that Cathy was a little bit restless. She was turning the room upside down to look for something.
He frowned and asked curiously, âWhat are you looking for?â
âSean, my jade pendant is missing.â
Seanâs facial expression changed.
âWhich jade pendant?â
âThe one that I have worn since I was young. The one with the lotus pattern on it.â
Seanâs face took on a ghastly expression as he started to look for the jade pendant as well.
As he was looking for the jade pendant, he tried to comfort Cathy. âDonât worry. I will help you to look for it. Try to remember the last time you saw the pendant. Once you have thought of something, I will go look for it with you.â
Cathy stopped looking for the pendant and started to jog her memory.
However, she could not think of anything even after thinking for quite a long time.
She shook her head. âI donât know. My dad gave me this jade pendant, and I have worn it for so many years. I have never taken off the pendant before, so I have never given it much attention. It felt as if the jade pendant was a part of me, so I didnât notice that I lost it. I canât even remember when was the last time I saw it.â
Sean furrowed his eyebrows as he heard that.
He thought for a while. He then said, âLetâs search for the pendant in this room first. If we canât find it here, then you could have lost it at the stone gambling site two days ago.â
Cathyâs face turned pale as he finished his sentence.
âIf I did lose it there, then...â
She did not need to finish her sentence, as both of them knew what would happen. As such, their faces darkened.
That jade pendant did not have much worth or not Jean would not have given that pendant to Lizzy just like that.
However, that jade pendant held great significance for Cathy. Old Master Morrison had specially made that jade pendant for her while he was alive.
After a few decades, that was the only relic that Old Master Morrison had left behind for her.
In the eyes of others, it might be a worthless piece of jade. However, it was a piece of remembrance for Cathy.
The two of them searched the whole room. Alas, they could not find the jade pendant.
They had no choice but to go out and retrace their steps.
The jade pendant still had not been found after they searched the manor.
At last, they had no choice but to call Mr. Donnelly.
Mr. Donnelly was shocked after listening to the whole incident.
âYou lost your jade pendant? What type of jade pendant was it?â
Cathy described the jade pendant hastily. âItâs a lotus-shaped jade pendant that is three centimeters long and about three to four millimeters thick.
You can also see the word âMorrisonâ at the center of the lotus. It is easy to recognize.â
Mr. Donnelly frowned.
He thought for a while. âThis is quite the predicament. After all, you arenât sure about when you lost your jade pendant. To search for such a small item is like looking for a needle in a haystack.â
Of course, Cathy already knew about that. However, that jade pendant held significance to her.
She also did not know how she could have lost it.
Cathy kept on thinking about the multiple possibilities. She realized that the only time when she could have lost it was when she bumped into Jean at the stone gambling site.
Even if it was a wild idea, it was still quite possible.
After Mr. Donnelly heard her idea, he said, âHow about this? Donât worry about it just yet. If you truly did lose it inside the venue, then it would be a good thing. At least we have surveillance cameras. As such, you can look for it anytime. If it went missing outside, then it would be troublesome.â
Sean had also nodded his head. âI have thought of the same thing as well. That is why we might need to trouble you to let us have a look at the surveillance footage.â
Mr. Donnelly nodded his head. âItâs not a big problem anyway. Please wait for a while. I will ask someone to send the footage to you.â
As he said, he called someone on his phone. After a short while, someone had already brought in the surveillance footage for the past few days.
Mr. Donnelly showed them the footage on the laptop. He then said, âYou can take a look first. I have to handle other issues. Thus, I will be taking my leave. If you find any clues, please do tell me after viewing the footage. As long as you can find it within the venue, I will retrieve it for you.â
Sean and Cathy nodded their hands. They then said, âThank you very much.â
Mr. Donnelly left the room, leaving the two of them in the office to watch the footage.
The surveillance footage was from the first day they arrived at the stone gambling site. There were a few daysâ worths of footage, plus there were multiple perspectives of the venue in the video. As such, the workload was humongous.
However, the two of them knew about the significance of the jade pendant. They decided that they would not let it fall into the hands of others.
As such, their concentration levels were exceptionally high.
They watched the footage from noon till night. Then, there was a glint in Cathyâs eyes.
âIâve found it.â
Sean went over to Cathyâs side. âWhere?â
Cathy pointed at a spot on the screen. She then pressed the pause button. âCan you see it? Itâs right over there.â
Sean looked at the image on the screen. That was the moment when Cathy had just exited the office. Meanwhile, Jean had also come to the office to see Mr. Donnelly. After speaking with Mr. Donnelly, she promptly left the office.
Cathy and Sean had left right after that. At that moment, Cathy tripped over a door sill and almost fell.
It was at that moment when the jade pendant fell off Cathyâs neck and landed on the ground.
Spoiled by the President ï¤Chapter 967 Grandmaâs Relic Both of them were excited as well as worried.
The two were excited because they had finally found a clue. There was hope to retrieve the jade pendant.
However, they were worried because they did not know who might pick up the jade pendant. If that person did not want to return the jade pendant, then that would be another predicament.
Sean pressed the play button, and the video continued playing.
In the video, despite the traffic, no one had noticed the jade pendant on the floor.
After all, it was a stone gambling site. The other big and shiny jade at the venue attracted everybody's attention. As such, who would stare at the ground?
However, a familiar silhouette had entered their vicinity at that moment.
It was Jean.
At that moment, Mr. Donnelly had just exited the office while Jean was coming from the other direction. Jean chatted with him for a while before turning around.
She walked for a while. Then, she stopped and took a step backward. After that, she bent down and picked something up.
Cathy held her breath. Sean pressed the pause button and zoomed in to see the object in her hand.
To their surprise, it was Cathyâs lotus-shaped jade pendant.
âIt was her?â
Seanâs expression gloomed as a glint of hatred could be seen in his eyes. âItâs this woman again!â
Cathy was worried. âShe is the young mistress of the Leith family. She wouldnât be interested in a small jade pendant.â
