Chapter 1194: Chapter 1188: The Diamond Bracelet is Lost
Caleb Mamet had always found such things childish and dull, and he didnât have time to collect seashells to make wind chimes at the beach. Yet somehow, a shell wind chime had appeared in his hand without him knowing when.
Perhaps dreams do not need logic, as everything seems so absurd about them.
In the dream, Mortimer handed the wind chime to the Black Tide, who happily accepted it, swinging it around in his hand, and smiling sweetly, "The sound of the wind chime is so pleasant!"
Mortimer gave him a satisfied smile, but it quickly vanished. He was always so indifferent and did not seem to get used to a laughing self, so he coldly said, "Whatâs so pleasant about the sound of shells clashing? Iâll give you better gifts in the future."
The next moment, the Black Tide moved the wind chime next to his ear and gently shook it. For some reason, the ordinary sound of the wind chime suddenly became very pleasant.
Mortimer paused for a moment and nodded, "Indeed it sounds nice, I wonât give it to you anymore, Iâll keep it myself."
The Black Tide promptly held the wind chime to his chest and laughed sweetly, "No way! Youâve already given it to me, this wind chime is mine now, and you canât take it back. Plus, you have to give me more gifts in the future!"
Looking at the girlâs naive and innocent smile, Mortimer couldnât help but curl his lips into a smile.
Caleb Mametâs consciousness separated from the dream, and he opened his eyes abruptly, finding that his head was a bit sore. Why would he dream about a shell wind chime? Could this wind chime truly be a gift he gave to Xaviera Evans?
Caleb sat in a chair for a moment before getting up and leaving the room. As he stepped out of the room, he saw Xaviera holding the wind chime and walking towards him, "Everything is packed up, letâs go."
"Um..." She hesitated a bit, "Can you ask Sean Price to help me find a more reliable housekeeper? I donât quite trust the one we have now."
"Hmm," Caleb responded.
Meanwhile, inside a luxury car near the Evans Villa, Nidya Hughesâs mood was somber, "I didnât expect Xaviera to show up all of a sudden. Otherwise, we would have been gone with these things long ago!"
Zora Hughesâs eyes reddened in grievance, "Auntie..."
Naturally, Nidya couldnât blame Zora, but she gently reproached, "Zora, you are the Hughes familyâs daughter. Youâve seen all kinds of good things, so why are you so attached to that worthless shell wind chime? And even if you cracked a wind chime, did you really need to apologize to her? Xaviera has so many treasures, she wouldnât care about a wind chime. You didnât have to demean yourself by apologizing!"
Zoraâs voice was trembling slightly, "I was afraid that Xaviera wouldnât be willing to give me a precious gift in return, so I chose the least valuable wind chime. I didnât expect her not to even want to give me that. When I accidentally broke the wind chime later, I hurriedly apologized because I was afraid that Xaviera would think I did it on purpose. Who knew that she still didnât forgive me."
The driver listened to their conversation, completely speechless. He was standing at the door at the time and heard Miss Hughes apologize, but before Miss Evan could respond, Mrs. Hughes hustled Zora out. The way she treats her niece is even better than her own daughter, which is strange.
At that point, Zora quietly removed the bracelet from its box and stuffed it into her coat pocket. If Xaviera was going to be so disrespectful, she couldnât blame her for being ruthless.
What right did Xaviera have to keep all of Nidya Hughesâs inheritance? She will definitely make Xaviera pay the price!
After stuffing the million dollar bracelet into the inside pocket of her coat, Zora pretended to search anxiously, and just as the driver was about to drive away, she shouted in panic, "Wait!"
The driver stepped hard on the brake.
Nidya Hughes frowned in annoyance, "What is it now, Zora?"
Zora said in a panic, "Auntie, my diamond bracelet is gone. I was planning to wear it to a business event, but now itâs lost, what should I do?"
Nidya sat up, reached out for the velvet box, and took a look. Indeed, it was empty.
Zora dumped everything from her bag onto the car seat, her eyes watering in desperation, "Itâs not in the jewelry box, itâs not in the bag, where could the bracelet have gone? Could it have been left in the Evans Villa?"
"Auntie, thatâs a million-dollar bracelet, I need to go back and look for it." Zora started hesitating, "But... Xaviera wonât let me in."
Just as they were hesitating, Nidya saw Xaviera and Calebâs car drive away, and she immediately decided, "Theyâve gone, letâs go in and look. Whether she agrees or not! If a million dollar bracelet is lost, she must let us in to look for it."
