Upon hearing Hannah Ford mention the citrine necklace, Ethan Wilson on the other end of the phone also fell silent.
Every time the necklace was mentioned, he would be like this.
He felt it was his redemption, but for some reason, he was reluctant to face it.
Hannah continued to sob.
“Grandma is so old now. When she last came to see me, she asked me if I remembered that necklace. I knew it was her dowry when she was young, so I coaxed her and said that the necklace was kept in a safe in Eastonia and wasn’t brought back.”
“Ethan… I don’t want to disappoint my grandma… Am I useless? My health is not good, I can’t be filial to her, and I even lost her favorite dowry. It’s all my fault. Why did I show off that necklace to the other children in the orphanage when I was young? If it weren’t for that, it wouldn’t have been stolen…”
The more Hannah spoke, the sadder she became, and the more tears she shed.
Ethan Wilson’s face turned a bit pale as memories of the past were stirred by her words.
“I’ll have someone continue to investigate the necklace. Now, you just focus on recovering at the Manor, and I’ll inform you as soon as there’s any news.”
Hearing Ethan’s voice soften a bit, Hannah knew her goal had been achieved.
“Okay, I’ll be good. Ethan, I won’t bother you anymore, I’ll hang up now.”
After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Hannah’s face.
Heh, she wasn’t in a hurry to find the necklace.
After all, the true owner of that necklace had disappeared a long time ago.
Perhaps, they were no longer in A City.
Thinking of her past and her once desperate and lonely life, Hannah couldn’t help but squint her eyes.
She was determined to become Mrs. Lucas!
She would never let herself fall back into that humble and poor life again!

At the film set, Skye Brown just called “cut,” and Lily Gray came over to hand her a hand warmer.
“Here, Mr. Wellington sent it over today. There are also 999 roses he just sent…” Lily Gray’s face was full of smiles, somewhat mocking.
Skye Brown wasn’t pretentious and accepted the hand warmer.
Although it was sent by Dylan Wellington, she wouldn’t let herself freeze in the cold winter out of anger.
“Let him send whatever he wants. Anyway, we use a lot of rose petals in this costume drama, so I’ll have the props team take them apart and dry them later. They’ll come in handy for the petal rain.”
Hearing Skye’s words, Lily Gray couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You, always making Mr. Wellington eat his words. Now you’re even ruining what he sent you, be careful he doesn’t come to settle the score with you!”
Lily Gray teased her best friend, but in her heart, she felt that Skye was doing just the right thing.
Humph, their cute Skye shouldn’t be easily taken away by Dylan Wellington!
“Let him settle the score if he wants, I’m not afraid! On the other hand… Lily, isn’t your husband Ethan coming back tonight?”
Hearing Skye mention her husband, Lily Gray’s face turned red.
She nodded gently, “Yeah, he said he would be back tonight but it would be quite late. He asked me not to wait for him and go to bed first.”
“He’ll be home late… That’s perfect, today is Ella Reed’s birthday, and she’s having a party after work. You should come with me then?”
Ella Reed was the female lead in the film, as well as a top actress under Wellington Productions.
As the producer, Lily Gray would definitely need to show her face at the birthday party.

Lily Gray suddenly smiled, “Skye… Aren’t you just afraid of having trouble dealing with Mr. Wellington later, so you’re pulling me with you?”
