Chapter 570: Chapter 573: Where is the Citrine Necklace?
Two weeks went by quickly.
The newly-appointed President, Rodney Rhodes, was quite capable.
Apart from marrying an overly young wife, there was nothing terrible to be said about him.
For the wine party held in A City, it was said that both husband and wife would be attending in person.
Because the First Lady’s invitation last time did not include Mrs. Lucas.
Now, everyone was looking forward to seeing whether Mr. Lucas would show respect to this new president at the banquet.
*
On the day of the banquet.
Dylan Wellington was also attending the event, so Skye Brown went early as his female companion.
Joan Wellington, naturally, would also be attending in her capacity as a member of the Wellington family.
So, at this time, only Lily Gray was left alone at the Gray family home.
Right after having lunch and resting for a while, she was awakened by a phone call from David Redington.
“Hm…?” After picking up the phone, Lily was still a little drowsy.
David’s cool yet urgent voice came through on the other end of the line, “Lily, where are you?”
“I… am at home.”
“Stay at home, I’ll be right over.”
Lily felt somewhat confused, as it seemed something had happened from David’s tone.
But just as she wanted to ask for clarification, the call disconnected.
By the time she called back, David’s line was continually busy.
Less than ten minutes passed, and suddenly there was quite a commotion outside the villa.
Lily hurriedly went outside and bumped right into Ellie who was coming in from outside.
“Ellie, what’s going on?”
“Young Lady, it’s Mr. Redington.” David Redington had come to see Lily Gray several times during this period.
So, Ellie also recognized him.
Just then, David entered from outside.
He was wearing a light grey suit today, which with its well-fitted cut made him emanate a mysterious and languid aura.
Especially those deep, blue eyes of his, which made one’s breath quicken just by looking at them.
“Lily, hurry… come with me.”
Upon seeing her, David immediately grabbed Lily’s wrist.
Lily hesitated for a moment, but before she could say anything, Ellie had already stepped in front of David.
“Mr. Redington, you can’t just take the Young Lady away!”
Although Ellie had a good impression of David, taking care of Lily was her responsibility.
She would not allow him to suddenly barge in and take Lily away.
“At least tell me where you are taking her, for how long, and when you will bring her back!”
David frowned slightly but still didn’t want to reveal his intentions.
Lily was also puzzled, “That’s right David, as you can see my belly is so big now. I can’t handle being out for too long. Tell me and Ellie what’s going on first, don’t make us so anxious.”
David looked down at Lily, with her shiny doe-like eyes; her face resembled Bella Scott’s too much, which he hated.
But… his gaze shifted downwards towards Lily’s swollen belly.
David furrowed his brow slightly.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he still revealed the purpose of his visit to Lily.
“That necklace, the one you mentioned to me before, where is it now?”
“Necklace…” Lily_gray was taken aback. She didn’t remember mentioning any necklace to David.
“It’s the citrine necklace, the one you said you lost in the orphanage…”
So it was that one!
“I kept it in the bank vault. Why are you asking about it?”
