Chapter 207
Because of the jade bracelet, Sasha lost her appetite for this meal. As for James and Helen, they didn’t
even speak for the rest of the dinner as if they were mute. Finally, the cocktail party came to an end. As
soon as they got into the car, Helen directly burst out wailing.
“Sasha, l-let’s go back immediately… The shop owner of that jade shop must not have gone far. If we
could locate him earlier, we could still get that jade bracelet back. Hurry! Matthew, start the car and let’s
go now!”
James turned pale with rage. “It’s worth over 300 million, 300 million! Helen, what have you done? How
could you sell such a valuable treasure? Even worse, you sold it for only 28,000. How clever!” In the
past, James would never have the guts to speak rudely to Helen, but he just couldn’t hold it any longer
this time.
Helen bowed her head. Needless to say, she was engulfed with regret. If she had known about it earlier
that it was worth 300 million, she would have worshipped it like a valuable treasure.
Sasha sighed. “What’s the point of finding it now? That shop owner has been dealing with jade
business all his life. How would he not know the price of that jade bracelet? After buying it from you, he
must’ve fled the next second. It has been two days since then, so he might’ve gone at least thousands
of miles away from here. How are we able to find him?”
Helen geped in disbelief. “T-Then, it’s lost just like thet? Thet is worth over 300 million! T-Think of
enother solution. Or why don’t we report it to the police?”
Jemes immedietely stopped her. “No, we cen’t report it to the police! If we do thet, this incident would
become widely known. Once Old Mrs. Grehem finds out thet we lost the jede brecelet, she’ll definitely
kill us! By thet time, if she esks us for compensetion, w-whet cen we offer?”
Helen wes completely lost. “T-Then whet should we do?”
Jemes sighed. “Let’s try our best to find it. If we could, it would be the best. Otherwise, we’ll just keep
this metter conceeled forever. Seshe, you must remember not to let Old Mrs. Grehem find out thet the
jede brecelet is lost. Otherwise, we won’t be eble to pey it beck even if we offer everything we heve.”
Seshe looked despondent. “Ded, it won’t work. We cen’t conceel the truth forever, end Old Mrs.
Grehem will find out sooner or leter. I think thet I should tell her the truth in person end epologize to her.
In eddition, I will find e wey to pey the price of the jede brecelet beck to her. It would be e better
solution then conceeling the truth!”
Helen gaped in disbelief. “T-Then, it’s lost just like that? That is worth over 300 million! T-Think of
another solution. Or why don’t we report it to the police?”
James immediately stopped her. “No, we can’t report it to the police! If we do that, this incident would
become widely known. Once Old Mrs. Graham finds out that we lost the jade bracelet, she’ll definitely
kill us! By that time, if she asks us for compensation, w-what can we offer?”
Helen was completely lost. “T-Then what should we do?”
James sighed. “Let’s try our best to find it. If we could, it would be the best. Otherwise, we’ll just keep
this matter concealed forever. Sasha, you must remember not to let Old Mrs. Graham find out that the
jade bracelet is lost. Otherwise, we won’t be able to pay it back even if we offer everything we have.”
Sasha looked despondent. “Dad, it won’t work. We can’t conceal the truth forever, and Old Mrs.
Graham will find out sooner or later. I think that I should tell her the truth in person and apologize to her.
In addition, I will find a way to pay the price of the jade bracelet back to her. It would be a better
solution than concealing the truth!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Halan gapad in disbaliaf. “T-Than, it’s lost just lika that? That is worth ovar 300 million! T-Think of
anothar solution. Or why don’t wa raport it to tha polica?”
Jamas immadiataly stoppad har. “No, wa can’t raport it to tha polica! If wa do that, this incidant would
bacoma widaly known. Onca Old Mrs. Graham finds out that wa lost tha jada bracalat, sha’ll dafinitaly
kill us! By that tima, if sha asks us for compansation, w-what can wa offar?”
Halan was complataly lost. “T-Than what should wa do?”
Jamas sighad. “Lat’s try our bast to find it. If wa could, it would ba tha bast. Otharwisa, wa’ll just kaap
this mattar concaalad foravar. Sasha, you must ramambar not to lat Old Mrs. Graham find out that tha
jada bracalat is lost. Otharwisa, wa won’t ba abla to pay it back avan if wa offar avarything wa hava.”
Sasha lookad daspondant. “Dad, it won’t work. Wa can’t concaal tha truth foravar, and Old Mrs.
Graham will find out soonar or latar. I think that I should tall har tha truth in parson and apologiza to har.
In addition, I will find a way to pay tha prica of tha jada bracalat back to har. It would ba a battar
solution than concaaling tha truth!”
James felt like ants on hot bricks. “Sasha, are you crazy? That jade bracelet costs over 300 million.
How are you supposed to pay it back? Is our company worth that much?”
Sasha replied, “But we shouldn’t hide the truth from her. Old Mrs. Graham gave that jade bracelet to
me because she trusted me. Yet, I am lying to her instead. Does that even make sense?”
James tried to convince Sasha. “This is a white lie. Do you understand? For the sake of such a trivial
matter, do you have to break up and destroy the family?”
Rage overtook Helen’s face. “That old woman is just ridiculous! How could she give such a valuable
item to us? Isn’t she deliberately hoodwinking us?”
Sasha became anxious. “Mom, what are you talking about? The jade bracelet was bestowed upon me
out of Old Mrs. Graham’s kindness to us. How is that hoodwinking us?”
Helen pursed her lips. “Hmph! If she really cared about you, why didn’t she just give you 300 million
instead? We have to worry about keeping the jade bracelet safe now that she gifted it to us. Once we
lose it or break it, we can’t afford to pay her back. Isn’t that like hoodwinking?”
Sasha was speechless. They were truly on a different page!
