Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 257

Cordelia knew better than to pry or eavesdrop, so she only took a quick glance before speaking up, "Your ring."

Bill's eyes lit up when he saw the ring, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "This is the first time something I lost actually came back to me!"

He was thrilled, "The ring is back in my hands, haha! Lia, you have no idea, the gem in this ring matches the one in my necklace. Losing one would've made the other worthless."

After saying that, he reached for his neck, "I got this hefty gold chain to make sure the gem wouldn't get lost if the chain broke."

But as he said that, his movement suddenly froze.

Looking down, Bill realized the bulky gold chain that had been around his neck was gone.

Bill: ".

Cordelia: ".

Earlier that day, she had indeed noticed Bill with a chunky gold chain that screamed nouveau riche, but could the guy be more careless?

And where could such a large chain even disappear to?

Cordelia smirked, then pulled out the box with the gemstone, asking, "This is pretty valuable, huh?"

Bill quickly waved his hands, "Not much, just a few million, I guess!"

Cordelia: ".

She had known the gemstone was expensive when all her classmates stared in awe at her "rock."

Now, hearing Bill's words, she suspected he had added one too many zeros.
