Chapter 295 I’ll accompany you and have some fun!
The necklace Anna gave to Nicole did not belong to her mother.
It was a present her grandfather sent to her from abroad many years ago.
The necklace was adorned with a perfectly cut diamond, personally cut by the designer himself which meant it had high collector's value.
Anna saw the flicker of greed in Nicole's eyes and knew she urgently needed money.
She guessed Nicole wouldn't dare set her sights on her necklace but if she did, that meant she was in dire need of money.
Nicole stared at the sparkling diamond and forced a smile onto her face.
"Anna, this necklace must be worth a fortune.”
"At least two to three million I think."
A flicker of hope lit up in Nicole's eyes.
Anna turned around, "I'm going on a short trip, bye."
Chloe met her mother's eyes.
Anna didn't see the calculative gaze in their eyes.
She rode her bicycle into the outskirts and spent the whole day alone. She felt happy and relaxed on an uneventful day so far.
Liam didn’t contact her.
He said he wanted to give her a few days off before she officially joined the company.
Anna could tell from his words that a tough battle lay ahead of her.
When Anna arrived home, Nicole was home too.
Nicole returned the cleaned necklace to her.
Anna opened the box and checked, it was indeed her necklace.
She smiled softly, "Thank you."
Nicole smiled and said nothing.
When Daniel returned home, he told Nicole to get ready. They were attending a cocktail party later in the evening.
Nicole purposely put on a high-necked dress. That way, she wouldn’t have to wear a necklace, reducing the need for an extra piece of jewelry.
Chloe crossed her arms across her chest and said to Anna downstairs, "Anna, Daddy said you should take care of me."
Anna couldn’t even be bothered to glare at her, "What d o you want me to do?" "I want to take a shower but I don't want to dirty the
bracelet, can you hold it for me?"
Chloe took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and placed it in front of Anna.
Anna glanced at it and said nothing.
"Anna, remember to place it in the box, it's uncomfortable for me to move."
Anna didn’t want to continue fighting with Chloe, she threw the bracelet into the box in the drawer.
Chloe looked at Anna calmly. As she turned to the bathroom to take a shower, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
When Chloe came out of the shower, Anna had already returned to her room.
Chloe took out the box from the drawer, opened it, and hid the bracelet. She then started shouting.
"My bracelet is gone!"
"My bracelet is gone, it's gone!" Chloe shouted so loudly the maid gathered around.
Anna heard the disturbance, thinking something serious had happened, and hastily pushed open her door and left her room.
"Anna, where's my bracelet?" Chloe questioned her harshly.
"Didn’t you see me placing it in the box in the drawer?" Anna replied.
"But it's gone! I've looked through all the boxes in the drawer, but it's nowhere to be seen!" Chloe was still rummaging through the drawer.
"That's impossible!"
Anna walked over and helped her look through the drawer, but couldn’t find the bracelet. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Anna, how can you lose my bracelet?" Chloe raised her voice.
Anna glanced at her, "What nonsense are you saying?"
"I just asked you to place it back in the drawer, but instead you lost it!" Chloe pointed at Anna accusingly.
Anna wasn't convinced, she rummaged through the drawer again, and looked around Chloe's room.
Initially, she was confused by the mysterious incident, but all of a sudden, the clues connected in her mind and she understood what was going on. This was yet another one of Chloe’s schemes.
Chloe crossed her arms across her chest, stood in front of Anna, the laughter in her eyes growing.
"Anna, you're unhappy that Grandma gave me the bracelet. So you stole it, didn’t you?"
"Chloe, you must have evidence before you accuse me of thievery." Anna felt anger rising in her chest.
Chloe scoffed, "It's ok! We'll continue looking. I can't believe the bracelet would grow wings and fly away!"
Chloe ordered the servants to look through all the nooks and crannies in the house.
"Every corner of every room, below the tables and chairs, look through every single spot! We have to find the bracelet!"’ Chloe ordered.
Anna glared at Chloe, eyes turning cold.
Chloe laughed, "Anna, what are you looking at me for? I f you didn't steal it, then the bracelet grew legs and ran away of its own accord!"
Anna looked at Chloe's gleeful expression, "Maybe, it really grew legs and ran away."
"Haha..." Chloe burst out laughing.
"Anna, I didn't know you were so funny! Just admit that you stole the bracelet. It would be bad for you if Daddy got involved in this too, don't you think?"
Anger rose in her chest, but her expression remained calm. "I think you should know better than I do where the bracelet is right now."
"When I went to take a shower, I passed it to you, you kept it for me! How would I know where the bracelet is now?" Chloe looked all innocent and helpless.
At that moment, Anna hated herself. Why did she give her the chance?
"Chloe, what's the point of all this? You are marrying into the Dawson family soon, losing the bracelet would affect your position, am I right?” Anna lowered her voice, "You were the one who lost my bracelet, why are you blaming me instead!" Chloe shouted coldly.
Anna studied Chloe’s expression, but couldn't find a single crack in her mask, the corners of her lips curled up in disdain.
"Who lost the bracelet, and what their aim is. We both know very well, what’s the point of this show?
Besides, the bracelet belongs to the Dawsons, how can it get lost so easily?"
"You!" Chloe's expressions turned cold, a thick fog of hatred misting her eyes.
"I'm not a Dawson yet but my fiance is, the baby is too. The bracelet rightfully belongs to me. You're just jealous of me, that's why you stole the bracelet. You don't want my baby to be born safely!"
Anna scoffed, "I'm jealous of you? Chloe, you think too highly of yourself.”
"Enough with the nonsense, return the bracelet to me! Don't think of taking your time! if something
happened to my baby, can you bear the responsibility? I'm still relying on the bracelet to keep my baby safe!"
Chloe hated this snobbish, holier-than-thou attitude that Anna displayed.
Who cares if she's Ms. Hamilton?
She couldn't even keep the man she loved by her side, what right did she have to act all high and mighty?
Anna glared at Chloe coldly and said slowly, word by word, "Chloe, you're going to marry into the Dawson family soon, why are you still causing so much trouble? Even if you tell Grandma that I stole the bracelet, do you think Grandma will believe you?"
Chloe was intimidated by Anna's terrifying gaze, she looked around her room unconsciously...
Anna laughed coldly, "Be careful, you almost exposed yourself there. If you want to frame someone, prepare some evidence first!"
"Anna, you took the bracelet, I don't need any evidence! The maids can prove you were the one who was last seen with the bracelet!" Chloe's anger exploded.
The maids hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to partake in the fight between the two of them.
"Chloe, since you like acting so much, I'll accompany you and have some fun!"
Anna raised her head and looked around the room," Hmm, there are no CCTV cameras in this room."
She bowed her head and looked at her own bracelet, "I remember now, my bracelet can record videos, it should've recorded the scene of me placing your bracelet into the drawer."
Chloe panicked upon hearing those words.
