Chapter 147 Smacking him Hard in the Face
“Jade pendants carved with dragon and phoenix? I heard that the Finn family has a pair of ancestral jade pendant carved with dragon and phoenix, made of top quality imperial green jade, back in the day, it was made by the palace craftsmen. I wonder if I can see them today.”
“I heard that the Finn family doesn’t particularly care about the marriage, probably not the pair.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“What do you know? That jade pendant is not the Finn family’s, but the one that Levi’s mother brought over with her at the time of her dowry. The Sharp family is a hundred year old family, can the things that come out not be good things? Levi is the only son of Miss Sharp, if he gets married, then it must come out of Miss Sharp’s dowry.”
Today, the Harold’s came a number of customers, and at this time, listening to the voices upstairs, they all exchanged words.
Many people looked at Spencer with envy on their faces, and Spencer subconsciously straightened his back, full of pride.
After Chester read the gift list, someone carried an ebony box and came down from upstairs, the box in his hand was open, and it was empty, there was nothing inside.
The crowd was slightly stunned at the sight, and Spencer was also stunned for a moment before he reacted, and his face suddenly paled.
Levi had already put down Ruby at this time, the two of them stood at the entrance of the stairs, looking at the person coming down, the corner of Levi’s lips hooked, looking at Ruby, asking in a soft voice, “What? Did you take out the jade pendants?”
“I haven’t seen it, it’s been sitting in my room.” Ruby replied indifferently.
Spencer’s face was blue at this moment, how proud he was just now, how humiliated he was now.
All these things were put away in the Harold’s household, and now the only thing taken down was the empty box, so it was clear who took it away.
He felt embarrassed.
But, it wasn’t over.
Upstairs Chester was still continuing to read the gift list, as he read one item, someone with an empty box from upstairs down.
Ruby didn’t say anything, but with a smile on her face, she watched as one by one the empty boxes and empty crates were carried down from upstairs.
Levi brought a lot of people over today, and after a group of people came down and put them in the living room downstairs, they went back up to continue.
Soon the living room was filled with dozens of empty boxes.
The entire Harold’s living room, quiet, no one said anything, yet they all looked at Spencer in unison, Spencer’s body swayed and almost could not stand still.
This was the most embarrassing moment of his life.
“Dad, if you are in a tight spot and need money, just tell me, how can you…” Ruby sighed and looked up at Spencer, his face full of helplessness.
Spencer opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he didn’t know how to do so.
His face was on fire at this point, embarrassed and humiliated.
The eyes of those people seemed like knives, desperately plucking at his body.
“Levi, I think my father he is…,” Ruby eyes red, looked at Levi, softly to help Spencer plead for mercy.
Levi, however, just coldly interrupted her words, “I don’t care about the other things, my mother’s things are left to her daughter-in-law. That is an ancestral item that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Sharp family, no matter who took it, you have to hand it over to me, otherwise, I will leave it to the police.”
Spencer’s face changed when he heard this, and he spoke hurriedly, “Levi, this is family matter, how can we say it’s stealing? Today is the wedding for you and Ruby, I think it is better to finish the wedding first, when the wedding is over, we can…”
“No, the Jade Pendant carved with Dragon and Phoenix, according to the Sharp family’s rules, must be worn on the wedding day, signifying the couples have a happy marriage. If this thing is lost, this marriage is canceled.” Levi’s attitude was unusually resolute.
“Well…” Spencer looked at Levi with dumbfounded eyes.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, no one spoke, and everyone looked at Spencer, waiting to see how he was going to go about solving this matter.
The marriage event was a top priority, and it seemed to everyone that at this time, Spencer should return what he had taken, and it was most important to make the wedding go smoothly first.
However, Spencer felt it difficult.
The Jade Pendants carved with Dragon and Phoenix were taken by Rita not him, and even if he wanted to return it, he couldn’t do so.
“Levi, this marriage can’t be treated as a child’s play, you two go through the process first, I, I promise, will definitely send the things back to you, do you think it’s okay?” Spencer, with a rosy face, came up to Levi’s front and spoke embarrassingly.
Levi didn’t answer, just looked at him with a smirk.
Spencer’s heart thumped and he had a bad feeling.
As expected, Levi immediately spoke next, “It looks like you didn’t take the stuff, since that’s the case, then call the police and let them handle it best. Naturally, our wedding must go on, but the thief, too, must be caught.”
“This, this…” Spencer was agitated, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.
Only at this time did Hattie, who had arrived late, enter with someone, looking at the quietness of the house, and was a little surprised for a moment, but soon, her attention was drawn to Levi.
Levi stood there, not wearing the golden mask that he usually wore, wearing a custom-made suit, like a European aristocrat who was noble.
Her face paled and her heart stuttered before she walked over quickly, “What’s going on here? Why aren’t you leaving after receiving the bride?”
Hattie’s sudden appearance did help to ease the stalemate.
Levi just looked at her with a light expression and ignored it, his gaze still falling on Spencer: “What do you think, Sir?”
“This is the wedding day…” Spencer naturally did not want to call the police, if this matter was spread, he would really feel embarrassed to live in Sea City in the future.
“Dad, who actually took those things and you still refuse to say it? Today is my wedding day, do you have to embarrass your daughter like this?” Ruby looked at Spencer with red eyes, tears of aggression coming down.
Spencer suddenly panicked with pressure, there was no way to continue to hide: “It is your sister and your mother…”
“My mother has died.” Ruby spoke with a sob.
Spencer opened his mouth and looked at Ruby’s aggrieved look, his heart was annoyed.
What was annoying was that Ruby deliberately said these things to make things difficult for him at this time, not knowing at all to share his burden.
