Chapter 669
You Hit My Heart
Luther sat anxiously in the helicopter, wearing a special noise-
cancelling headset that not only provided sound insulation but also kept
his voice normal when he was on the phone.
Once on the helicopter, he tried to find Joyce's cell phone with the real-
time satellite locating system and connected his phone to the
helicopter's center console using Bluetooth.
Soon, a popping red dot was displayed on the center console,
indicating the current location of Joyce.
And the helicopter had come with a navigation system that could help
him quickly find the best path based on wind direction, airflow and other
factors.
The pilot followed the route from the navigation system, adjusted the
direction and flew all the way to Joyce.
With the red dot on the center console entering an off-ramp, Luther let
out a low curse. Hell, Joyce was still heading for the cliff.
He knew that although Joyce could drive, she didn't drive much and
was not very familiar with the roads.
Right now, he could do nothing but get there as soon as possible.
He had never been as nervous as he was now, and he felt like his heart
was hanging completely in the air. His mind was blank, and he didn't
know what he was really thinking.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
He looked down immediately. If it was Jacqueline or someone else he
knew, or if it was a call from work, he would answer none of these calls
at such a critical time. Now, he would only answer calls from Aaron and
the police department.
But actually it was an unfamiliar number he had never seen before.
He hesitated for a moment, afraid that he might miss some important
message, and answered it anyway.
After the call got through, the person on the other end respectfully said,
"Mr. Warner, this is Winston Jewelry. We are calling for the five hundred
million dollars worth of diamonds that you sent to us a month ago... We
are now done with its design and cutting according to your liking and
have redesigned them into a complete set of jewelry. When is it
convenient for you to come and pick it up?"
So it was an irrelevant call, and Luther was going to just hang up.
But, five hundred million dollars worth of diamonds? He hesitated for a
moment and did not hang up the phone.
They did have a lot of diamonds kept in the VIP safe of the Warner
family, but five hundred million dollars worth of them for a set of
jewelry? He could not remember that at all.
It must have been before he lost his memory, too.
Five million dollars... It sounded so familiar.
He did hear Aaron mention that when Joyce was kidnapped at Hill
Benjamin, the kidnappers asked for five million dollars. At that time, he
did not have the patience to hear the whole story out, so he did not ask
Aaron for more details.
Could it be ... he took those diamonds for her ransom?
But then why did he want to redesign all those diamonds into a set of
jewelry? What exactly did he want to do at that time?
Suddenly, he felt the need to figure the whole thing out, and he might
find some clues eventually.
"Wait a minute, are you sure it was me?" Luther asked.
"Of course!" The staff on the other end of the line immediately found
the order record and read it over, "Mr. Warner, the recipient of the order
is Miss Knowles. You personally paid for the customization fee, and you
personally provided the sizes for the necklace, bracelet, and ring for
Miss Knowles. Aaron was the one who delivered the diamonds, right?
Our jewelry house handles a lot of valuables and has kept a very
detailed record.â
"Miss Knowles? Are you sure it says Miss Knowles on the order
record?" asked Luther incredulously, repeating the question.
"That's right, Miss Knowles," affirmed the staff.
"Got it, I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow.â Luther finished and
hung up the phone.
