"As long as you capture Edward's heart, you will never be short of money through your whole life." Yakira wiped away her tears. 'Leo, you such a heartless jerk. You drove me to this. Since you think you can divorce me for that bitch, then don't blame me for destroying her. I look forward to see how you are going to stay cool when your beloved daughter is on the brink of breaking down. Let's see who is going to win.' Yakira thought to herself.
Mother, don't worry. I won't let you down as long as you can help me." Whenever it came to Edward, Mary forgot all her concerns and couldn't help giggling. No matter how strong Daisy became, there's no way she could take on Mary. Mary would steal her husband, the same as stealing her father. After all, Mary learned all her tactics From Yakira, the mistress of manipulation.
But Edward totally had no idea that he was an attractive piece of meat coveted by someone. That was the last thing he could have on his mind, for right now he stared at the man in front of him with a disgusted look on his face.
So you are Paul Du?" Edward sat there with such regal dignity, like a king sitting on his throne. He was born with a commanding presence which made people want to worship him.
"Yes, I am. Why am I here? Who are you? And what is all this about?" Paul looked upset and slouched over with a pale face.
You know what you did." Edward squinted at him. He always kept in mind being nice to others and tried to avoid sounding arrogant when talking to someone beneath him. But as for Paul, such a bastard didn't deserve to be treated nicely. So Edward just did what came to mind.
"But I've told you everything I know. Why do you still keep me here?" Paul avoided looking Edward in the eye. He was beautiful enough to make every woman in the world envy him and his intensely aristocratic nature distinguished him from ordinary people, making him too hard to look at for too long.
"Don't worry. I'll let you go when everything is set up. I have a simple question: do you know anything about the necklace, A Beauty's Tears of Blood?" From the expression of guilty confusion that crossed Yakira's face the other day, it was easy to confirm she was the one who stole the necklace. But Edward still wanted to double check, so he asked Paul about it so that he could decide what to do next.
What's A Beauty's Tears of Blood? Am I supposed to know that?" Paul asked with confused eyes. He really had no idea what Edward was talking about and whether he had something to do with it.
Then look at this. You must have seen it before." Edward took the necklace out of his pocket, dangling it in front of Paul. He worried that Paul hadn't heard its name. The name was too elegant for ill-educated people, they didn't run in the same circles with people who would know anything about it. So he brought the necklace over. And what happened confirmed his speculation.
Red Tear? Why is it in your hands? How did you get it?" Paul named it that, because it was in the shape of a tear and it was red.
So you do know something about it. Then tell me how did you know it and how did you get it." Edward put it back in his pocket carefully and asked with a cold voice.
My cousin gave it to me for what I did for her. Is there any problem?" Paul answered with an alarmed face. He didn't expect the necklace could cause him some trouble.
Then how did the auctioneers get it?" Edward's lips pressed together. Thankfully, he took Daisy to that auction the other day. Otherwise, only gods would know where the necklace was now.
Once I lost in gambling and had no money to pay my debts. So I pawned this necklace. I thought it was worthless, so I never thought of getting it back," Paul said carefully. He had been kept captive for nearly half a month. Even though they didn't torture him or something, he felt scared all the time.
How much did you get for pawning it?" It cost Edward 100 million, so he was curious what Paul pawned it for. He hoped it wasn't too low. Otherwise his heart would ache. Even though 100 million was just pocket change to him, it didn't make him feel good to be such a soft touch anyway.
Not much, just around 50, 000. It is out-of-date and worthless. So I pawned it for a fair price." Even though Paul did think the necklace looked pretty fancy, he didn't expect it could be an antique. Besides, Yakira wasn't generous enough to give him such a priceless treasure.
What did you just say? 50, 000? Shit." Even though Edward tried to be courtly, he could no longer hold back his rage. The necklace which cost him 100 million was only pawned for 50, 000. How could he stay cool after finding that out?
Right. The price is reasonable! Think of it, 50, 000 for an out-of-fashion necklace!" Paul said as he couldn't sense how furious Edward was now. He explained it further to Edward.
Luke, take care of this guy. I don't want anybody to think that I am easy to deal with. You feel me?" Paul should not have tried to explain anything. It wouldn't do him any good and only added fuel to the flames. Edward got furious with him and told Luke to take care of him. Luke was his man and certainly understood what Edward meant-- teaching Paul a lesson. That was typical of Edward, he'd never curse you right to your face, but would certainly never let up when he wanted to teach you not to mess with the best.
