Chapter 377: Chapter 380: Can the Citrine Necklace Be Found Again?
Translator: 549690339 |
“I’ve made it very clear to you. My marriage to Lily will end when the agreent expires. Until then, there are only nine months left, and I will still bear all the dical expenses for you. Before that, I hope you can think clearly. Marrying … apart from status and position, I can’t give you anything else.”
Aidan Lucas’s words stopped there.
He had no idea how a girl like Hannah Ford would choose.
But he had already warned her in advance.
If she stubbornly insisted on her own way, and lost her life, then she couldn’t bla him later on.
After leaving these words that both gave Hannah hope and brought her despair, Aidan Lucas hurried to the airport with Samuel Mckinley.
In the manor, Hannah Ford sat alone on the bed for a long ti, slowly wiping away her tears before revealing a bitter cold smile.
My heart is only for Lily Gray, huh?
Only willing to touch Lily Gray, huh?
That’s fine; I’ll make sure that woman nad Lily Gray regrets it.
Regrets stealing my man, Hannah Ford!

Aidan Lucas sat in the back seat of the black Maybach, which sped along on the way to the airport.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated.
He saw the two words “Hannah” on the incoming call display.
Thinking about hanging up, but wondering if Hannah changed her mind after listening to his words.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he answered the call.
“Hello,” the man’s low, cold voice echoed on the line.
Aidan Lucas’s mood was clearly not great.
After all, the words he had just said to Hannah also implied that his marriage to Lily would eventually co to an end.
Hannah on the other side of the phone was well prepared.
She deliberately made this call, having co up with an excuse in advance.
Hannah was smart; she knew that her conversation with Aidan Lucas had not ended on good terms.
Now Aidan was about to leave her and return to Eastonia, and to the side of the surrogate woman.
As scheming as Hannah was, she couldn’t let Aidan leave with resentnt toward her.
So she had to make Aidan rember her.
Forever rember, her kindness.
Hannah adjusted her breathing and deliberately spoke with a soft, weak voice.
“Ethan… I’m sorry, did I disturb you? I just… rembered sothing very important so I called…”
Aidan Lucas had no mood to appease Hannah now and just said coldly, “What is it?”
“It’s about my citrine necklace… I’m sorry, I know it’s just a trivial matter to you, but that necklace ans a lot to … I want to ask you if there’s been any news about my necklace in Eastonia?”
Aidan Lucas frowned upon hearing about the necklace.
However, his expression softened a bit.
“Not yet. That orphanage has been closed for many years, and the forr director is said to have passed away a few years ago. Most of the adoption and fostering files have been lost, and almost all the people who worked there are gone too.”
Aidan Lucas couldn’t see Hannah’s expression over the phone.
He had no idea that when he told Hannah that the people and files were almost impossible to find, the expression on her face was not regretful.
It was a feeling of relief and smugness.
She had known all along that clues from so long ago would be difficult to trace, especially since the orphanage no longer existed.
“How… How could they all be missing?” The voice on the other end of the phone sounded panicked and disappointed, with a choking hint, “That necklace was given by my grandma, how could it…”
