Chapter 18 “Sherry’s Necklace”
Hearing Leo Bruce’s questioning, Hannah Joseph whose heart thumps, settles down, takes a deep
breath, pushes the door and walks in the room grandly.
"It's me."
Seeing clearly who it is, both Leo Bruce and Fiona Angela change their look, but Leo Bruce has to
suppress his anger and greet with her by courtesy only.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at them, Hannah Joseph asks as if she doesn’t know.
"I just heard that you were arguing. Marriage is a happy event. How can you be upset?"
Her deliberately questioning makes Leo Bruce unhappy.
"You shouldn’t have heard clearly. We talked a little louder, but we didn’t argue.”
Leo Bruce manages to keep calm. When he looks at Hannah Joseph, he could not hide his contempt in
his eyes. He thinks Hannah Joseph is just an ordinary woman who is not favored and has no power. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"If there is not anything I can do for you, please leave this room. I have something to say to my wife."
"You wife?" Hannah Joseph looks at them. Suddenly, her look becomes cold and she seems to think of
something.
"I remember that yesterday the TV news reported Mr. Bruce offered a reward to look for his fiancee.
Today you marry a new wife. I don't know how your missing fiancee would feel if she knew it."
"What do you mean?" Leo Bruce's face changes.
"Nothing." Hannah Joseph walks closer slowly, "I just want to tell Mr. Bruce and Mrs. Bruce some truth.
For example, if you always walk along a river, you will get your shoes wet sooner or later. Another
example, it's natural for someone in debt to pay for money or somebody, if he kill a person pay for a
life."
In order to facilitate a conversation, there is only a small light in the lounge. At the moment, the light is
shining on Hannah Joseph's face. Her facial features are faint and graceful. Her familiar eyes and
expression of resentment are imprinted in Leo Bruce's eyes. In an instant, he thinks of a person and
steps back suddenly. His face turns white.
Fiona Angela is confused and says unhappily, "what do you mean? Don't play tricks. You bully us
because you are a Shahbaz family member. You…ouch…"
Before she finishes speaking, a cold wind sweeps over her neck. Fiona Angela suddenly covers her
neck and looks at Hannah Joseph unbelievably.
The necklace has obvious red marks on her neck. Hannah Joseph tightly holds the pendant inlaid with
emeralds. She skillfully presses a snap, which is opened with a crackle. She pulls the necklace out of
Fiona Angela's hands without any hesitation.
Then there is a loud voice in the room.
"Like the painting, this necklace was stolen by you. What's your qualification for it?" Hannah Joseph's
face is cold and her eyes are gleaming in blue light.
Fiona Angela and Leo Bruce are both scared and they can't say a word.
Sherry Green named the “Sherry’s Necklace” with an exquisite lock design after her name. Apart from
Sherry Green herself, no other person can open it so quickly. In order to wear the necklace on the
wedding ceremony, Fiona Angela even found all skilled craftsmen in London.
Leo Bruce's face is tense and his lips are shaking, "How do you know that?"
Hannah Joseph holds the necklace tightly and stands straight. She looks at the couple in panic in front
of her coldly. With a thin figure but a commanding force, she sneers.
"Do you believe death can return to life?"
A single word makes Leo Bruce and Fiona Angela panic-stricken.
At the moment, Hannah Joseph looks at them like ghosts, deep and cold.
