Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Lost It Six Years Ago

“What’s wrong?”

Courtney did not know what had happened when she noticed Alexander’s change of expression.

Alexander took the earrings out from the jewelry box and examined them. After a while, he seemed to be sure of something. He went into the study opposite his room and came back with a black-and-white photo. The photo looked old; its corners had discolored.

There was a young woman in a cheongsam inside the photo. She looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, and she exuded a cold aura. She wore an inlaid gold necklace around her neck. The necklace was inlaid with two pieces of jade—one smaller and one bigger. Despite the age of the photo, one could see the smooth outline of the jade through the photo.

“This is…?” Courtney was puzzled.

 

Alexander compared the earrings with the necklace before he put the photo down.

“This is my grandmother. The necklace she was wearing was her family heirloom. There were two pieces of jade inlaid in the necklace. One was small, and another one was big. They were a matching pair of circular jades. When the country was in total chaos, the Duncans’ ancestral home was occupied by soldiers. The Duncan Family became poor, and she had to sell the smaller one to support the family.”

 

“The smaller one?” Courtney’s gaze fixated on the earrings in her hand, and she noticed that the jade was indeed similar to the one in the photo. “Is this the one?”

Alexander nodded.

Who would have thought that this jade would go overseas and land in Jennifer’s hands?

In the end, it came all the way back to Courtney again.

“How about the other one?” asked Courtney.

Alexander frowned at her inquiry.

“Grandpa gave the remaining one to me, and I made it into a necklace. Unfortunately, I lost it six years ago.”

Courtney was puzzled upon hearing that. She couldn’t help but clench her fists; her expression became nervous.

Could it be that the necklace he’s talking about is the one I snapped off his neck back then?
