You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: The Necklace Belongs to Eddie

Eddie had a couple of days to relax before she had to do the publicity and promotion for The White Love Song. She knew that becoming a celebrity had its disadvantages and advantages. Being famous has its own pros and cons, while lack of intimacy and lack of free time was what she worried about the most.

Eddie didn’t know if she would be as famous as Queenie, she had heard that Queenie hadn’t even finished filming and was offered another leading role in a film. As much as Eddie wanted fame, she needed a break, just some time to relax and let everything that happened over the past couple of months sink in.

Eddie found it strange that in Queenie’s position, she didn’t want a lot of exposure with the media. She had noticed that Queenie seemed to be under a lot of pressure when it came to saving money. Eddie thought that with her being such a famous actress that she would be extremely wealthy.

Eddie didn’t want to speculate too much, but she thought that maybe there was some hidden secret behind it all. Eddie took her career seriously and wanted to be able to make her own decisions and live her life the way she wanted to.

It was time for Scarlet to take her annual trip, and Eddie was supposed to go with her. After discussing it with Stuart, he finally agreed to let her go. They were going to a spring resort in Australia.

Considering Stuart’s sex drive, he could not stop thinking about it and wanted it all the time. Eddie had taken several days to satisfy his needs, and finally, he gave his permission for her to go.

Bake at the L. N. Group in the CEO’s suite, Ivan came rushing into Stuart’s office. "CEO, I have it, the necklace is here," Ivan said in a very respectful tone. Stuart raised his shoulders, stretching out his hands, with his mouth wide and fixed his eyes on the necklace, "How did you get it?"

"When you mentioned to me about using Joanna to get the necklace back, I did some investigating. When Donald took the necklace back, he told Joanna that he sold it to the person who offered the highest price. So I put the word out that the necklace was still in Donald’s hand, and then Joanna found out that he never sold it." Ivan paused and continued, "Then I bought off a good friend of Joanna’s and insinuated that Donald was still in love with Eddie. Then Joanna came to me and offered to work with me, and of course, I agreed."

"It took her two days to get Donald’s palm print, and finally, well here it is." fгeewebnovёl.com

Stuart smiled faintly and nodded, "Well done."

Ivan took out an elegant velvet jewelry box and gave it to Stuart. He immediately opened it. Ivan was extremely shocked as he had never seen the necklace before, "The necklace looks very valuable. Who was Eddie’s mother, how could she leave her such a valuable relic?"

Being Stuart’s chief secretary was not an easy job. One of the key roles was to ensure that the board procedures were both followed and regularly reviewed. Ivan was from a wealthy family and graduated from an elite school. He had worked with Stuart for many years and was used to Stuart’s cold and aloof demeanor.

Ivan remembered when they were at the Beck Mansion, and Stuart was bidding eight figures for the necklace, but he thought it was just to make Eddie happy. His mouth dropped open, and he found himself unable to speak as he knew it was worth so much more.

Stuart was thinking about something after hearing Ivan’s question, "Have you heard about the history of world jewelry?"

"Yes, I have heard about it."

"Twenty years ago, Mr. Roger, Belgium’s was the greatest jeweler; he had a ten-carat diamond."

Ivan was shocked and immediately knew what Stuart wanted to say, "It supposedly took him a whole year to drill the diamond, it was cut into one thousand pieces. He wanted to ensure that every cut was perfect, and then he turned it into this necklace. Mr. Belgium kept this necklace with him and would not put it up for auction. As soon as it was finished, he kept it hidden. Therefore not many people have seen it."

Then Stuart said in almost a whisper, "This is the necklace, the Sea of Stars, and I have it."

Ivan gasped as he looked at the necklace. For a moment, he merely gazed at it and then drew a deep breath; it was the most extravagant thing he had ever seen. The pendant was an upside-down triangle, each diamond was perfectly cut, no matter which angle you looked at it, it sparkled in every direction. It was as beautiful as its name, "Sea of stars."

Ivan knew the necklace was valuable. Now finding out that it used to belong to Mr. Roger’s and the craftsmanship put in it was far more valuable than the diamond itself. The value of this necklace could not be measured by money at all.

Ivan hesitated. "This necklace belonged to Mrs. Yates?"

For some time, they stood in silence. There was a deep furrow in Stuart’s brow, "Look again, and this time searches for her mother’s meaning."

Ivan immediately nodded and answered, "Okay."

On the main road, Donald ran two red lights, and his Porsche shot out like an arrow. His face, which was once handsome and gentle, was now in a daze from the shock. A few strands of hair hung down over his eyes, forming a shadow that made him look more and more tired.

Half an hour ago, he was in a company meeting. Then he received a text message saying that the necklace had been taken by a man who pretended to be him. A palm print was different from a fingerprint, and it could have been done very easily.

The only person that could have access to this would be his wife, Joanna. He knew he had to see her and ask why she would do it. As Donald’s car drove into the villa, his phone suddenly started ringing.

He looked at it and saw Joanna’s name. He stopped the car and answered. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Honey, are you working late tonight? When are you going to be home?"

Joanna’s voice was soft and gentle as ever.
