Chapter 313: Chapter 312
“At the auction house, you co over. I’ll wait for you. There’re a lot of things today, so I can’t co to find you.”
Edwin Blake responded with a “Hmm” and drove straight over.
By the ti he arrived,
Alexander Hodges had already finished his work and was sipping on a drink with his legs crossed.
Noticing Edwin’s arrival, he imdiately pointed to the table and indicated:
“Take a look; if nothing goes wrong, this is yours.”
Edwin glanced at it and said coldly, “Who sold this? Where did it co from, dostically or internationally?”
“Bro, today we can only see pictures of the international ones. This one was acquired this afternoon, and it was collected here in Seaton.”
Alexander calmly explained.
Edwin’s mind raced, “Show the surveillance footage.”
Alexander raised his eyebrows with a mischievous smile, “I’m afraid you’ll break down if you can’t handle it.”
“Hurry up and don’t waste my ti.”
Edwin’s voice was icy.
Before coming here, he was at the old house, visiting Old Lady Blake.
So he hadn’t gone to the company to verify if the necklace was still there.
Alexander smirked but obediently went to fetch the surveillance footage.
Edwin’s phone rang, and after he hung up,
a rare smile appeared on his face.
“Bro… how about you don’t watch it…” Alexander felt today’s situation was dire as he watched the dangerous smile on Edwin’s face.
“Bring it here.”
Edwin’s tone allowed no refusal.
Alexander projected the video’s content onto the laptop, but hesitated to take a step closer to Edwin.
“Bro, are you okay?”
“How much was the necklace sold for?” Edwin asked casually, his lips still curled in a smile.
Alexander could only sweat nervously, “Forty-nine million.”
“Good job. With all the changes, why not just fifty million?”
Alexander felt suffocated.
Pawnshop policy dictates squeezing every penny possible.
“The global rule for pawnshops is to push the price down as low as they can. It’s not sothing I can prevent, bro, especially when I’m not at the store…”
Alexander spoke more exasperatedly.
He didn’t believe Edwin didn’t understand the cunning nature of comrce.
“When the ti cos, I’ll transfer it to you, and I’ll take the necklace. Don’t make any sound about this matter.”
Edwin said this calmly, his handso face betraying no emotion.
And the more it was like this,
the more fearful it beca.
In Seaton, Edwin Blake was the current head of the Blake Family, rarely angered.
Once enraged,
the consequences would be uncontrollable.
Now only the two of them were in this room, and if a conflict really broke out, the only one getting hurt would be himself.
Alexander quickly said, “You just slowly watch the video, I’ll be off bro, I’ve got a lot of items collected today that need decisions.”
“Hold on a mont, before you go, make sure your people keep quiet about this, especially you. If Big Bro finds out, it’s at your own risk.”
Hearing the warning, Alexander imdiately covered his mouth, signaling that nothing would co out of it.
But he was really curious.
“Bro, does it not sadden you that Isla sold the gift you gave her?”
“What good is sadness, she might just be broke, keep your mouth shut, and don’t spread nonsense. By the way, check where she transferred the money to.”
“This is a violation of procedures! Go check it at the bank.”
Edwin said nothing, his gaze falling sharply on Alexander’s face like a blade.
Alexander imdiately responded, “I’ll check it now, right away, my skills are at your service, dear brother, please wait a mont, I’ll let you know when I find out.”
Edwin questioned, “How much ti do you need?”
“Don’t rush , I’m on it! Trust , please, brother!”…
Alexander dared not voice the thought.
Fearing his death would leave his whereabouts unknown.
Among the four brothers, he had the lowest combat ability.
Edwin was the strongest, even surpassing Bryson Chaser, who’s been in the military for years!
But there was sothing about Edwin,
his tendency to be a bit of a romantic, which made it impossible to fathom how soone like him could have such an ailnt.
Even though Isla had sold the gifts she received from him, he wasn’t angry; instead, he was covering for her—quite amusing.
Edwin, with an indifferent expression, sat grandly on the sofa as if nothing could capture his attention.
Alexander waved a printed transaction flow docunt in front of her.
Edwin returned to his senses and accepted it, scanning over it, “Eve? Why does that sound familiar?”
“That’s Lynn’s company. Isla’s recent transfers have been going to Eve. Could it be that she’s collaborating with Eve?”
Alexander boldly remarked, “Bro! As far as I know, Lynn’s design fees start at a hundred million. Adding up these remittances, it’s enough. Maybe she’s commissioning a design from Lynn!”
To then enter a design competition and take first place.
And thus smoothly make a coback, once again becoming Edwin’s favorite.
He was stunned by his own bold speculation.
Edwin glanced at him, “Maybe it’s just shopping, but if Eve is indeed impressive, the design pieces are a real possibility.”
“Alright, alright, get that necklace and go? I have things to handle.”
Edwin looked at the transaction, said nothing, and directly stood up.
At the doorway, he couldn’t help issuing another warning, “Rember, keep your mouth shut; if Big Bro finds out, you know the consequences.”
“I know, you can rest assured, I definitely won’t spill anything. Now I’ll go arrange for the shop staff, you can leave.”
Alexander watched Edwin leave, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
His mind started to revisit all the events.
Actually, when the staff gave him the necklace, he felt it was Edwin’s right away.
Then, upon reviewing the surveillance footage, the shape, the voice, and the mannerisms further confird that it was Edwin’s necklace.
He just didn’t expect Edwin to gift such an expensive necklace to Isla Sutton.
Wasn’t it supposed to be reserved for his sister-in-law?
Previously, when they bought it in an overseas auction, it was said it was Ivy River’s favorite: Pigeon Blood Red, Ruby, Sapphire Treasure, Tourmaline—which are all natural gems…
How could he give it to Isla Sutton so easily!
Then to call Edwin, initially seeing his surprise…
Unconsciously, Alexander seed to think of sothing and imdiately began making phone calls.
…
Blake Clan Group.
Harry Ross stood trembling, not daring to speak.
Edwin Blake said, “Retrieve all surveillance footage of Isla Sutton’s recent visits to the company, bring in an expert to verify the inquiry, and ensure we find out when exactly it was taken.”
“Yes, CEO, I’ll handle it right away.”
“It should have been taken last ti she was here; retrieve the footage and send it to .”
Harry imdiately said, “I’ll send it to you; it’s already been retrieved. No one else knows, only . Oh no! I don’t know either.”
At this mont,
his survival instincts were at their peak.
He really couldn’t believe Isla Sutton was so bold to steal sothing!
If she needed money, she could ask the CEO; such a big ATM machine, yet she chose theft instead…
“Hmm, you may leave; I’ll call if I need anything.”
After watching the footage, Edwin pondered for a long ti before slowly dialing that long-neglected number.
