Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1123 A Deal

Naturally, Eleanor sensed what the man was pressing against her waist, and her firm expression started to crack. Frightened, she retrieved the necklace she just bought from her bag and handed it to the man. "T-Then you can have a look!"

The man took the necklace and thanked her politely before handing it to another man behind him. "Hugh, take a look at this!"

Hugh was a man in his forties, and he accepted the necklace solemnly. Then, he used a magnifying glass to inspect it carefully.

Meanwhile, Eleanor and Amy stared at him intently throughout the process, worried that he would switch the necklace out, but it seemed that he did not intend to do such a thing.

Not long later, he returned the necklace to the man and shook his head, reporting somewhat morosely, "Sir, it isn't the one we're looking for."

Hearing that, the man glanced at Hugh with a frown and asked again, "It isn't?"

Hugh shook his head. "No, this is a replica that was made recently, not longer than twenty years ago."

The man nodded and handed the necklace back to Eleanor. "Thanks for your help. This isn't what we're looking for, so you can leave."

After that, he handed them 1,500 in cash and said, "Take this as thanks for giving us your precious time."

Eleanor hurriedly rejected him, "It's fine."

"Take it." The man forcefully shoved the money in her hands.

As Eleanor was full of panic and only wanted to leave as soon as possible, she accepted it and quickly said, "All right, thanks."

After she finished speaking, she was just about to leave when Amy stopped her. "Hold on, let me ask them something."

Eleanor was speechless. Was this fool fearless? Couldn't she see that they were carrying guns? However, she was unable to break free from her grip, and it didn't seem like a good idea to remind her in front of the men, so she could only sit through the ordeal a little longer with her.

Meanwhile, Amy had not noticed the man pulling his gun out at all. What she did see, however, was the money he gave them and his tempting offer. So, the necklace wasn't just there for decoration after all! In that case, she could show them the one Olivia had. She wouldn't lose anything by doing so, anyway.

She looked at the man and asked, "Why are you looking for this necklace?"

The man turned to her and said, "That has nothing to do with you. If you see a necklace that looks like this, you can contact me. The price will be up to you."

After saying that, he ordered one of the men to hand two of his name cards over.

Amy immediately accepted it before saying, "I used to have a sapphire necklace like this at home. It's much prettier than this one, and I think it's quite dated too, but we gave it away. I'll go and see if I can take it back, and if I manage to, I'll let you know."
