Chapter 53 Jason placed the necklace directly in front of Glynnis, his eyes cold as if he was conducting some business matter. “Glynnis, is this the necklace you lost?” Glynnis took the necklace and let out a scream, “Ah! My necklace, what happened to it? Who did this?” Everyone’s eyes were on the necklace. The luxurious necklace was actually broken into several sections. “Our manager heard about your lost necklace and immediately had me thoroughly search the presidential suite. We found your necklace under the sola. But when we found it, it was already like this, and we don’t know the exact reason, Jason calmly replied. “Did you see that? I told you she was lying. She forgot where she left her stuff and then blamed the hotel. She thinks she can slander the hotel staff just because she paid “Oh my Go d, that diamond is huge! Who would wear such an exaggerated necklace? Isn’t that asking for trouble?!” Hearing the surrounding mockery, Glynnis’s face instantly changed. She angrily said, “So, what if you found it? Can this prove that your staff didn’t steal my necklace? She must have stolen my necklace but couldn’t sell it, so she hid it under the sofa to sell it after we left!” “I didn’t! I didn’t!” The waitress couldn’t argue with Glynnis, and she was so angry she could hardly breathe. “If it was theft, the person who stole your necklace wouldn’t break the intact necklace. This is not something inconvenient to carry.” Evadne said indifferently, “I think this was done on purpose, not to steal, but to resent your necklace, like she was jealous of you.” Hearing this, Glynnis was stunned. Her two friends also looked shocked, and they were immediately rendered speechless. “Since our hotel has found your necklace, there has been no theft by employees. If you want to
continue pursuing this, I will be with you to the end.” Evadne finished. She glanced at Glynnis’s friends behind her, “My secretary was cautious when he took the necklace. The police will arrive soon, and you can hand the necklace to the police for fingerprint identification. This diamond is so big, it should not be difficult to take fingerprints.” “Yeah, fingerprint identification!” “Great idea! That’s what we should do!” The surrounding people also began to get rowdy. The two friends’ faces turned pale, and they quickly pulled Glynnis. “Enough, you are from the Abernathy family. Any more fuss and it’s a disgrace. Let’s go.” Glynnis also felt that making a fuss would only make her a laughing stock, so she stuffed the necklace into her bag and left with her head held high.
“Hold on.” Evadne suddenly called out to her coldly. “What do you want now?” “Now that the necklace has been found, and you have no evidence that our staff stole it. You just humiliated our hotel staff in front of so many guests. Don’t you think you should explain?” “Explain? Ha, I’m a guest while your hotel service is so bad, and you want me to explain. Have you lost your mind?” Glynnis laughed out loud. “How can she talk like that? Is she really the daughter of the Abernathy family?” Other guests commented discontentedly. “We all saw how that waitress apologized to her, and she was almost on her knees begging her, what more does she want!” “That’s right! She’s so harsh!” The waitress was huddled in a corner, tears silently falling down her face. “If there’s a problem with our hotel staff’s service, you can complain. But accusing our staff of theft is another matter. You should at least apologize.” Evadne’s eyes showed a cold determination. “You want me to apologize to her? I came here to spend money, and you want me to apologize to a
waitress? What kind of manager are you?!” Glynnis was about to explode with anger, but then she heard the sound of someone falling. The waitress actually fell to the ground, stiff as a board. Her eyes rolled back in her head, and she started to convulse! Everyone, including Glynnis, was stunned. Only Evadne immediately took action, kneeling beside the waitress. She loosened the girl’s belt and the black vest she was wearing, making sure she had a clear airway. But at this point, foam was already coming out of the girl’s mouth! “She’s having a seizure, Jason! Call an ambulance!” Evadne ordered while tilting the girl’s head to prevent her from choking on her own saliva. “I’ve already called an ambulance, and they’re coming!” A deep and magnetic voice surprised Evadne. She turned her head to see Thaddeus standing behind her, impeccably dressed, his handsome figure attracting much attention. Their eyes met. It was as if time had stopped at that moment, even the breathing seemed to have been paused. “It’s Mr. Thaddeus! It’s really Mr. Thaddeus!” Someone recognized him. “Brother.” Glynnis didn’t expect Thaddeus to show up, and she was very nervous. She was somewhat afraid of Thaddeus, even though Elspeth always badmouthed him as an illegitimate child. It was undeniable that Thaddeus was the one who had the final say in the Abernathy group. 1/2 11:32 “Gordon, take Glynnis away first, quickly.” Thaddeus said coldly. People were already secretly taking photos and videos. Any further delay and Glynnis might ruin the reputation of the Abernathy group. Gordon didn’t dare to delay any longer, and he immediately pulled Glynnis away.
Evadne sneered in her heart, and she moved her gaze away from him. Yes, this was Thaddeus, cold and ruthless. He wouldn’t consider who was right or wrong, and he only considered immediate interests, and the image of the Abernathy family in public. “Darn it! She’s going to bite her tongue!” Jason yelled in panic. Evadne’s heart tightened, and in a moment of desperation, she actually shoved her own wrist into the girl’s mouth! The girl suddenly bit her slender and beautiful wrist. a chilling pain spread throughout her body instantly, but she didn’t show any sign of pain, bearing the agony. Thaddeus shuddered, wanted to stop her, but it was too late. He watched as she used her own body to save someone, her petite figure showed a fearless courage and the kindness of a healer, This scene gave Thaddeus a long-lost shock. Suddenly, what appeared in his mind was the thin figure of Paloma. On the battlefield those years ago, Paloma had also saved him in this way. “Don’t lose hope! We’re going to make it! We must make it!” Later, in the chaos of the battlefield, he didn’t find Paloma, but he discovered that blo ody rope, not knowing how those hands were now. Thaddeus felt very uncomfortable, and he didn’t know what was wrong with him. Why would he see Paloma’s shadow in Ilana? Soon, the ambulance arrived, and the waiter was taken onto the truck. Evadne, not a**ured, had Jason accompany them to the hospital. “Miss, thanks to your first aid, you bought us precious time, or the patient might be in great danger!” the medical staff praised. “Just doing what I could, as long as the person is okay.” Evadne gave a light smile. Back at the hotel, the lobby manager had already handled the aftermath, and the crowd had dispersed. Evadne looked at the deep bite mark and blood stain on her right wrist. Only then did she feel the pain and headed towards the hotel’s medical room. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Ilana.” Thaddeus had already caught up to her as soon as she turned around, his eyes unusually gloomy. They were too close, close enough to hear each other’s breathing. Just half a step forward, and they could be pressed tightly together. Evadne was confused for a moment but quickly reacted. She was about to take a step back. But at this moment, Thaddeus suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled hard. The next second, she bumped into his arms without warning, like hitting a warm wall. Did he wear a bulletproof vest under his shirt? How can his chest be so hard? “Thaddeus, mind your behavior in public,” Evadne said lightly, and she struggled to break free from his embrace, but to no avail. “Where have you been these days? You just disappeared. Why did you do that?” Thaddeus’s black eyes stared at her intently, his grip tight. “What does it have to do with you? We have nothing to do with each other.” が Evadne sneered. He was still so self-righteous to this day, “It’s only normal that you can’t find me because I don’t want to see you.” “Ilana, come with me.” Thaddeus’s eyes were gloomy, his voice low and cold. “Thaddeus, let me go and leave here now!” Evadne gritted her teeth, finally losing patience, “If you don’t let go, I’m calling security!” Thaddeus felt a surge of anger burning in his heart, and his pupils quickly contracted. Was she now keeping her distance from him? She used to like him so much, and was so gentle to him. Did she not like him anymore? Competition, possession, and those indescribable desires were instantly triggered. “Even if you call Cas sius here today, he can’t stop me from taking you away!”
