Chapter 524 Little Sweet Talkers
How could the necklace have gone missing?
"Madeline, please remain calm. Let the makeup artist finish your makeup first. I'll continue searching."
While Kathy spoke, she discreetly stashed the valuable rings away. They were authentic and worth millions. Aware of the stakes, losing them was a risk she couldn't afford to take.
With thoughts of the missing necklace weighing heavily on her mind, Kathy felt increasingly flustered.
"There're cameras here. Don't worry. I'll check the security footage. The person who took the necklace won't get away!"
Gazing at the high-definition cameras in the corner of the room, Kathy felt slightly reassured. With such clear footage, she was confident they could identify the culprit.
Upon hearing this, Madeline closed her eyes and leaned back. "Then I'll leave it to you. Kathy, you understand your responsibility. Please retrieve my necklace."
If she were to lose a necklace worth about one million, it would surely break her heart.
With her family facing financial difficulties, she leaned on Derek to buy luxury items for her, unable to afford such extravagances independently.
Zara and Ursula entered the room with two kids. Zara had already presented Madeline with gifts upon her arrival. As she gazed at the radiant and elegant Madeline, a hint of envy flickered in her eyes. Madeline, being the cherished daughter of their parents, was adored for her beauty and charming demeanor. Both Zara and Ursula couldn't help but envy her for being favored by their parents.
Ursula nudged her two kids gently and prompted, "Why are you just standing there? Say hello to Aunt Zara and Aunt Madeline."
The young boy, about six years old, and his younger sister, around four, greeted them. The boy's mischievous gaze revealed mischief brewing within. It was evident he had something planned.
"Mommy, is she the wealthy aunt you told us about? She's so pretty! I haven't seen Aunt Madeline in such a long time. She looks even prettier than before!" Upon hearing Lucian Watson's words, a smile tugged at the corners of
Madeline's lips. Women always appreciated compliments. Emily Watson chimed in, "Aunt Ursula, you're beautiful too." The little girl was more perceptive, praising both Madeline and Ursula.
When Madeline went abroad, Lucian was already three years old, and Emily had just been born.
Emily let go of her mother's hand and approached Madeline. She gazed at the
radiant Madeline in the mirror with curiosity.
"Auntie, you look like a goddess You're so beautiful.”
Madeline's smile lingered as she picked up a small gift from the table and
placed it in Emily's hands. "Emily, you're such a sweetheart. Here, take this."
Even though Emily was only four, she had seen a lot. Holding the gift, her eyes
sparkled with delight. Her mom had been right. Madeline was very wealthy, perhaps even richer than her dad!
Emily then proceeded to charm Madeline with her array of endearments.
Ursula's jealousy intensified. "I've never seen her pay such attention to me. Zara, where is your son? Why isn't he here with you?
Zara grumbled, "His father is taking him to mingle with people in the hall, claiming he needs to engage in social activities. He's just ten years old, still a child. I don't understand why his father is in such a rush for this." Though she complained, her tone carried an air of superiority.
Ursula's smile faltered. Zara only had one son. Did Zara imply that her son would inherit all the Morris family's wealth?
Having married an average man, Ursula knew her children might never have access to these elite circles for the rest of their lives.
