Chapter 241 The Annoying Man
Sion drove back to the company, David just finished making arrangements and came back, saw him and greeted him, “Mr Carroll, about the necklace, I have arranged someone to check it out.”
“Well.”
He thought of the stolen necklace and said while walking to the office, “There was a bracelet named ‘Grace of Heaven’ at the auction before, do you remember?”
“Yes,” David answered quickly.
The last charity auction he attended on behalf of Sion, and he had paid attention to those items.
“That bracelet had been bought by Lady Dortlich with a high price of 5 million.”
Lady Dortlich was a well-known painter, prestigious in the art world.
“Pay a visit to this Lady Dortlich and find a way to buy the bracelet from her.”
“Yes, Mr Carroll.”
It was clear to David that this was meant for Mrs Carroll again. Thinking of himself being abducted before, he clenched his fists. This time, he had to do it right.
Sion raised his hand to look at his watch. Then he paused to think for a moment before saying, “Better get it here before the end of the day.”
He had seen the bracelet earlier. At first glance, he thought it suited Aurora’s temperament. It was different from emeralds, which were much more flamboyant, instead, it gave people a sense of gauzy cloud.
“Yes.”
After David left, he pushed the door into the office and sat down in the chair to call Aurora. Not surprisingly, she didn’t answer his phone.
Sion laughed lightly and stopped calling. Then he ordered a bouquet.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurora coldly watched her phone on the table. She had been waiting for the caller to give up.
She thought it was ridiculous that Sion Carroll still consider her a fool, who would believe everything he said. She sneered and dialled Cameron’s number.
“What’s up?”
Cameron’s voice was unrestrained and lazy, with a trace of delight.
“How long has it been? You won’t let me sleep, will you?” Cameron was kidding her.
“I saw him, that guy.”
Cameron sat up straight and asked, “Are you sure?”
But then he realized that Aurora had not listened to him again and had gone to see the thug alone.
“I’m sure,” Aurora said in a low voice. The darkness in her heart was all outlined, along with those unpleasant memories, stirring her up.
“I need your help again. Can you find out the relationship between that guy and Sion?”
If they called the police now, without direct evidence, they could do nothing to Sion and that guy. Besides, Sion was backed by the Carroll Group, which had a hundred years of history in Lower Hopton. That meant it would be difficult for her to deal with Sion.
“Don’t worry.” Cameron reassured her in a warm voice, “With me, there is nothing to fear, I will help you find out.”
Aurora felt touched and she replied, “Okay.”
Perhaps the phone call worked, but she soon calmed herself down.
Meanwhile, in a remote park, Nevaeh wore a hat and sunglasses, and the dappled shadows of the trees swayed from side to side on her, revealing an eerie sight. A short while later, Jeff, dressed in grey work clothes, came striding across the lawn and looked around cautiously, not noticing anything strange before coming over to her.
“Call me out for what?”
“For what?” Nevaeh seemed to find his question ridiculous, “Since you’ve already been discovered by them, how dare you stay in that place? Do you want them to find you?”
Jeff squinted at her and said, “Thanks to your phone card, I got found. You used my identity, and you used it to send text messages to Sion.”
Nevaeh was a person who was good at bragging about herself while she thought she was smart. But that was not the case.
“You mean to blame me?”
Nevaeh flung her hand and said angrily, “Don’t forget who paid to keep you all these years! I’m not wasting my money.”
Jeff clenched his teeth and fists. But soon, he turned composed again. He was swearing an oath of revenge on her one day.
“Fine, there’s no point in saying who’s right and who’s wrong.” Nevaeh sighed heavily, “I came here today to tell you to leave that place, and move out with your men. Just wait until all this blows over.”
If Sion found out the truth, everything she had done before would be meaningless.
Jeff closed his eyes for a moment, desperately trying to hold back the displeasure inside, and finally answered, “Got it.”
In the Design Director’s office in Crescent Group, Aurora was working.
“Queen, the caller from downstairs said that Mr Doyle is here.”
Aurora was surprised. Looking at the time on the computer, she found it was close to the end of the day. She then looked up at Anna and said, “Send him in quickly.”
Since his proposal, Albie hadn’t even called her, let alone come to see her in person. Aurora hoped that he could move on from the proposal quickly.
“The receptionist said that Mr Doyle would like to have you come down.”
Aurora was a bit puzzled, but on second thought, she thought possibly he was worried about the proposal being talked about at the company.
So she got up and said, “You go and get busy, I’ll go down.”
Aurora quickly walked to the door. When she saw the person waiting in front of the door, her face darkened instantly.
“Why is it you?”
She was a little annoyed since it was Sion who was waiting for her downstairs. She should have just called to confirm.
Sion did not change his face, holding the flowers in his hand, and walked up to her, “I wanted to see you, so I came here.”
“Well, nobody asked you to be here.”
Aurora inevitably thought again of the scene where he was talking to the thug. Now, he was merely a sinister hypocrite.
Aurora could not stay any longer and then turned around to leave.
“Aurora…”
Sion was quick to pull her back, very puzzled. He didn’t understand why she had been much colder than the last time he saw her.
