Chapter 232 - 235: The Secret of the Citrine Necklace



Because of that dream, Lily Gray didn’t sleep well again that night.

In the morning before leaving, Ellie worriedly said, “Young Lady, why don’t you just not go to the company today? You don’t look in good spirits these two days, and overexerting yourself isn’t good for the baby.”

Lily Gray looked at herself in the entrance’s full-length mirror.

As Ellie had said, even with a thin layer of foundation, she couldn’t hide her tiredness.

“Don’t worry, Ellie, I’ll take a nap at the company during lunch.”

“Well, should 1 bring you some soup at noon? It’s not good to always eat out.”

“There’s no need, Ellie, I’m not that fragile. I’m in a rush, I’ll leave now.”

Ellie followed Lily Gray out of the house, “Then… Young Lady, don’t forget to come home for dinner tonight!”

“We’ll see… Ellie, you can go back now, don’t bother sending me off.”

Lily Gray was eager to go to the company to get the citrine necklace, Austin

Lucas had texted her early in the morning to set a time.

Though she said she didn’t care, she couldn’t wait to get the necklace back.

Lily Gray sat in the car to leave, and Ellie stood at the door to see her off. Watching the car drive away, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

She sighed… Her eyelids had been twitching all day, she hoped nothing bad would happen.

Austin Lucas was indeed trustworthy when it came to Michelle Carter and Zara Lowe.

The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop near the Gray family building.

When she entered, Austin Lucas was already there.

Lily Gray was led by the waiter to their seats, which were in a quiet corner near a window.

After sitting down, she didn’t bother making small talk and directly asked,

“Where is it?”

Austin Lucas sat across from her. When he saw Lily Gray coming over, his eyes still held a hint of softness, which even he hadn’t noticed.

However, when he heard her first words after sitting down, his eyes instantly turned cold.

He chuckled, women really are fickle.

In the past, just a slightly kind gesture from him would have moved her for a long time, but now, she no longer had any thoughts of him.

It was now that Austin Lucas truly understood that Lily Gray no longer had any deep feelings for him.

She wouldn’t ever sleep with other men for him, nor would she raise money for plastic surgery for him.

The rumors were just that – rumors.

For some reason, upon realizing Lily Gray’s change, there was a hint of disappointment deep down within him.

“It’s here.” He hid his inner disappointment well and coldly handed her a small box containing the necklace.

“After you verify it, let my mother and Zara go immediately.”

Lily Gray took the jewelry box without a word and opened it.

The delicate citrine necklace lay quietly inside.

She took the necklace out of the box and placed it on her lap.

Lily Gray wore a one-piece dress with a tweed coat over it.

As she sat in the corner, the table between them blocked Austin Lucas’s line of sight.

“What are you doing?” Austin Lucas frowned and asked.

Lily Gray looked up at him and made sure he couldn’t see her actions.

“I want to verify if this necklace is real or fake.”

Austin Lucas didn’t know how Lily Gray could verify it, thinking that she was just being mysterious.

If she really knew how to verify its authenticity, she wouldn’t have been fooled by the fake one he gave her last time.

Lily Gray ignored Austin Lucas.

She quickly used her two fingers on both hands to press the special parts on both sides of the citrine facets.

She gently tapped on the facets with her right hand.

After three taps, the originally pebble-sized citrine suddenly split into two halves.

No one knew that the seemingly seamless citrine was actually hollow inside.

As the citrine split in half, a small and innocent angel sculpture appeared within its inner walls..
