Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 617

"In fact, it isn't necessary to get Old Madam's approval. We just have to get hold of the treasure. Vivian can't recognize anyone anymore. So, this is our best chance. Finders keepers. Not many people know about the treasure, not even Madam Marissa or Mr. Trevor. You just have to think of a way to get hold of the treasure. Then, who is it to say that you can't keep it as your own?" Letty persuaded. She noticed that Liya was a little dejected, and her persuasion made Liya nod in agreement.

"You did well today, and I'm glad you came to me. How about this? You'll follow me, and I'll offer you benefits when I stand firm one day." Liya was delighted to get this information, hence she made an offer to Letty.

Upon hearing this, Letty seemed overjoyed as well. She smiled widely and thanked her repeatedly.

"By the way, do you have any idea where the treasure is kept?" Liya immediately asked as she thought of the question.

"I don't know about this, but I assume that it's with Vivian. It's with her all this while. So, it will only make sense if she keeps it near her place," Letty said after a round of thoughts.

"It should be at Vivian's place." Liya thought to herself. Wasn't that obvious? However, Letty was just a maid. Liya shouldn't expect her to know that. Thus, she said, "That's okay then. Just come to me if there's anything."

"Sure, Mrs. Richards," Letty called out affectionately before leaving with a smile.

"Miss Yates? I'm Letty," Letty found a quiet corner before making a phone call. She lowered her voice to a whisper and said, "I've already told Liya about the treasure today. I think she'll make a move soon."

"Great," Zoella said. She had been resting on her bed ever since her miscarriage. As soon as she received the news, she smiled sinisterly and said, "Keep an eye on her from today onwards. Once she gets the treasure, do whatever you need to snatch it over, even if it means you have to kill her."

Rage built in her eyes. Zoella gritted her teeth in anger as she was reminded of the night she was schemed by Liya.

"Don't worry, Miss Yates. No one likes her in Richards Manor. Even if I were to make my move on her in public, no one will stand up for her," Letty said with a smug look.

"Great." Zoella nodded and said, "You will be of her service before she gets the treasure. After all, she's the only one who can enter Vivian's bedroom."

"Sure. I will have to hang up first. Someone else is coming." Letty hung up the phone in a hurry as she heard footsteps approaching.

Zoella smiled sinisterly and made another call after pondering for a moment. "Libby, send someone to keep an eye on Liya whenever she's out. Let me know immediately if there's anything."

After the two phone calls, it seemed as if the hatred Zoella had towards Liya finally lessened a little. She sighed as she shut her eyes.

Meanwhile, Liya was in high spirits after learning about the 'Ocean Heart'. Before this, she was still finding ways to milk the benefits during her stay in Richards Manor. She knew that her days were numbered, and she would have to leave without getting anything in return. However, now that she knew about the treasure, she wouldn't need Hansen anymore once she got hold of it. She could be rich on her own. Moreover, with Vivian's will backing her up, it was her right to get hold of the treasure.

Thinking of that, Liya lay down happily in bed. Her mood improved, and she fell asleep without her realizing it. Recently, she seemed to like sleeping a lot and couldn't get enough sleep no matter what.

Later that night, Lomen returned to the Ink Garden, and he ran into Jenna. "Lomen, where did Liya go today?" Jenna asked.

"Madam, Liya went to the salon during the day and had lunch at a French restaurant. She went shopping after that. It was a wild round of shopping. There wasn't anything odd," Lomen reported his findings in detail.

Jenna frowned. It was only in the morning when Liya told her that she needed money, and she made it sound like she was struggling financially. However, why was she spending lavishly then? Who gave her the money to do so?

"By the way, Madam, Liya went to a seaside villa today, and she was driving a luxury car. I saw her returning to the villa as if she was the hostess of the villa. I was dumbfounded. How could a woman like her own such things?" Lomen gasped as he was suddenly reminded of his findings that day.

Jenna was puzzled too. If Liya owned that much assets, then why was she still trying so hard to get a place in Richards Manor? Why did Liya put on such a pitiful act? Was she really that greedy? Did she really own all that stuff?

On top of that, Jenna was also concerned about Liya's huge transformation when they finally met again.

"Lomen, please investigate what Liya did after leaving Richards Manor and if she owned the villa and the car you mentioned. If yes, then who bought them for her? Like what she told me earlier, she hadn't been working for months and was not paid at all." Jenna immediately gave out orders as she thought of these questions.

Lomen pondered for a while before nodding.

After Lomen left, Jenna was still not at ease. Everything about Liya was too weird. She was obviously lazy and penniless. So, how could she afford to own a villa?

Trevor and Hansen had each given Liya a piece of expensive jewelry back at their wedding. Could it be that she sold the jewelry and got rich?

Jenna couldn't confirm that, and she didn't dare to make assumptions either. She could only wait for Lomen's investigation for the time being.

The night was murmuring, leaving behind a sense of loneliness in the air.

It had been two days since Hansen left for Capital City. She wasn't aware of the situation over there. Hansen would only tell her the good news. She wouldn't get to know about the actual situation if
