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 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!”
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!
