A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 231

"If you really can't solve it... Then I can ask your grandfather for help." Leonard said to me.

"No. Believe me. If you beg grandpa, he may not like you more."

Scott told me that the reason why grandpa didn't want to see her was that he was very dissatisfied with Leonard.

Although Leonard started from scratch and established the Fang's Group, my grandfather still didn't like him, so he never came back.

Two years ago, Scott knew that I was her daughter and wanted to take me back to the Ye Family. But they refused her directly. They were still angry with her because she married Leonard.

I thought that grandpa must be a very stubborn old man. Although he might miss mom and me in his heart, he refused to see us.

"Ashley, if you can't solve this problem, just tell me. I'll go and beg your grandfather." Leonard was a little helpless about my persistence, but he compromised.

After chatting with him and Scott for a while, I hung up the phone because of the time difference.

I looked at my phone in a daze for a long time. Just as I was about to go upstairs and continue to draw the design draft, the housekeeper came over in a panic. "Madam, our vase of the Ming dynasty is missing."

"How could it?" Leonard bought the vase at auction abroad and it was worth more than 100 million yuan.

The vase had always been placed in the villa as a decoration. How could it suddenly disappear?

"I don't know. When I checked the villa just now, I found that vase disappeared." The housekeeper said to me with a crying face.

"Ask all the servants in the villa to come here."

I ordered the housekeeper with a cold face.

There were some servants who stole things before.

If someone dared steal things in my villa, I would definitely punish him severely.

Five minutes later, the housekeeper came with these servants.

I looked at them and snapped, "Who saw the vase in the middle of the living room?"

"We... don't know." It was the first time for those servants to see me get angry. They were frightened and said with fear.

"I will give you a chance. If you return the vase, I will not punish you. But if you don't tell me the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless." I sat on the sofa, crossed my legs, raised my chin and said.

"Madam, how dare we touch that vase? We clean up the villa according to the work process every day. I saw the vase in the morning."

"I remember that Ethel had approached the vase. I've seen her looking at the vase with a strange expression a few times."

A petite maid suddenly said to me.

Ethel?

Was it Ethel who stole the vase?

"Check the surveillance video right now, and then go to their rooms to search the vase. Remember, search carefully."

After I took a look at the servant who was talking, I ordered the housekeeper.

An hour later, the housekeeper reported the search result to me. These servants lived in the back rooms. Generally, they could only go out once a month, and they had no chance to come into contact with the outside world.

Moreover, even if they wanted to go out, the security guards at the door would check their belongings, so it was difficult for them to send the vase out.

But Ethel was different, because she didn't have to work at night. She was very familiar with the security guards, so they wouldn't check her things.

"Let them go down first, and then prepare the car for me. I'm going to Ethel's house."

After I dealt with all these things, I went to Ethel's house.

I trusted Ethel so much, and I hoped she wouldn't let me down.

When I went there, it was dark in her house, and she didn't seem to come back.

I asked the driver to wait for me in the car, and I directly pushed open the door. I called Ethel's name, but I didn't get any response.

When I was about to go to the car and wait for her to come back, there was a muffled sound coming from inside.

I immediately stepped forward and pushed the tightly shut door open.

It turned out that Ethel didn't lock the door and it could be opened at any time.

I touched the wall, but I didn't touch the light switch. I took out my cell phone and turned on the flashlight. I asked the people inside, "I am Ashley. I came to find Ethel. Are you her boyfriend, Eddie? Do you know where she is?"

Ethel didn't work at night because she needed to take care of her boyfriend, but why was she not at home?

"Get out..." Just as I was about to walk to the black shadow that huddled up in the corner, that man suddenly roared at me.

He was so excited that I didn't know what to do.

"Please be quiet. I won't hurt you." I wanted to go forward, but he suddenly rushed to me, pushed me away, and ran out.

"Hey, where are you going?" I hit door frame because of his violent movements and gulped in pain.

I yelled at him, but I could only see his back, and then I couldn't see anything.

I frowned and rubbed my injured shoulder. Just as I was about to leave, a bright thing on the ground attracted my attention. I walked to the bright thing, squatted down and picked it up. When I saw clearly what it was, my whole body froze.
