She opened her jewelry box and took out that heavy gold necklace...
On the golden chain hung a heavy gold ring, engraved with the pattern of a tiger.
It seemed to be something of an old era.
That man left only this, and nothing else.
If it were not for this thing in her hand, Michelle Campbell would really think that the events of that day were just a dream.
Who on earth was that man, why did he take her necklace, and why did he leave such a peculiar necklace for her?
......
Michelle Campbell did not expect the consequence of offending the Duncans to come so quickly.
Early the next day, a group of police came to the Campbell family.
Michelle originally thought that they were coming because of the incident where her brother hit Aaron Duncan yesterday.
But to her surprise, the situation was much more severe than she thought.
The police suspect Tristan Campbell of manufacturing counterfeit medicine, causing two deaths, and now they need to take the person in charge back for investigation!"
As soon as the words fell, they took Branden Campbell away without any mercy.
Mother Campbell was shocked and almost fainted. Michelle hurriedly helped her back to the room.
Father Campbell was sitting in the living room, smoking, with a worried look on his face.
As for Michelle, she was stunned. Everything happened so suddenly - this must be a trap set by the Duncans!
The Duncans were truly ruthless. With this move, they not only ruined her family's small business but would also ruin Branden Campbell's entire life!
If he is convicted of manufacturing counterfeit medicine, he could face several years, even decades in prison - at worst, it could be the death penalty!
Thinking of this, Michelle could barely breathe from the panic in her heart. She even felt somewhat unsteady.
At this moment, the phone at home rang again.
Michelle glanced at her parents in the living room and then went back to her room to answer the phone.
Michelle, did you see it? So this is the consequence of breaking off our engagement! Aaron Duncan said triumphantly over the phone!
Aaron Duncan, you Scoundrel Benjamin!" Michelle clenched her teeth, cursing furiously!
This scoundrel Benjamin had always pretended to be a gentleman in front of her before and is now finally revealing his true colors!
Bastard!
You cursing me now is useless. I just want to tell you that only I can save Branden Campbell now! He is still young, you surely don't want him to be ruined by me!"
"What the hell are you talking about!" Michelle's heart tightened, and she immediately became alert. He called her for a reason, and it was certainly not simply to offer his help!
"I've booked a hotel room tonight. The address and room card are in an envelope that's now in your home's mailbox!"
"What do you mean?" On hearing his words, Michelle's face immediately turned ugly.
"You know what I mean! Michelle Campbell, I pursued you for so long, but you refused me! Now, not only do I want you to marry me, but I also want your first time!"
His voice sounded so hateful!
Michelle was shaking with anger, incapable of uttering a word for a moment!
"Heh, have you forgotten that you've already sold me to another man? I'm no longer a virgin!" She swallowed her anger and tried hard to make her voice sound nonchalant.
"That man didn't lay a finger on you!"
