Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 688

"Madam, the funeral at Richards Manor has been postponed until tomorrow. The funeral has also been postponed for a day." Madam Lilian had a gut feeling that something was wrong and her mind was already in a state of chaos. She had long since lost interest in public matters. Therefore, when she returned to the hotel, she sent Quina out to investigate the situation. However, she only rested for a while before Quina walked in.

Madam Lilian straightened and adjusted her glasses. Confused, she asked, "Why did they change the time?"

This was Vivian's funeral. They had already announced the time to the public. It was very strange to change the date this suddenly, and it looked like they did not respect the deceased.

"Madam, it was changed, and it was announced to the public by Hansen, the head of Richards Manor. The specific reason has not been stated." Quina agreed with a puzzled look on her face.

Madam Lilian closed her eyes. The light in her eyes flickered.

Vivian had always been a highly respected elder, and Hansen was her beloved grandson. There was no reason for him to change the date of the memorial service for no reason. That was disrespectful to the deceased. There was only one reason for this, that something was wrong!

When she was deep in her thoughts, the doorbell rang.

Quina opened the door.

A tall and thin man came in.

"Madam, Richards Manor is a mess these days. There have been a lot of accidents. Hansen has begun to reorganize the mess ever since he returned from the war-torn country. I suspect that the memorial service is postponed because of this. We found out that Vivian's personal staff, Mercy, had been murdered. It seems that Richards Manor has indeed encountered some trouble." The man entered the mansion and explained the events that he had heard in detail.

Madam Lilian was silent as she listened, her expression was exceptionally serious.

Meroy, the good- natured doctor, had been murdered. This was unbelievable.

"How could a murder case happen in such a rich and powerful family like Richards Manor? How could the security measures be so poor?" she asked in great surprise, with a little unbelievable expression on her face.

"Madam, that's true. It's because during this period of time, the master of the Richards family, Hansen, had gone to the war-torn country, and some bad guys slipped into the Richards family," the man said. He wanted to speak. So, after hesitating for a while, he said, "Madam, today I investigated a rumor. It has something to do with Richards Manor. It sounds logical and reasonable. I think it's very likely that these disasters of the Richards family were caused by these rumors."

"Oh." Madam Lilian was very surprised. So, she asked, "What rumor? Tell me."

"Here's the thing." The man gulped and explained, "There's a rumor saying that there's a treasure called the Ocean Heart in Richards Manor. The diamonds on this piece of jewelry are extremely rare, and are the only few in the world. It's dark blue in appearance. Its value attracts the envy of all passersby. Now that Vivian is dead, it's said that she had handed this treasure to Jenna, Hansen's wife. Since then, strange things have happened in the mansion. I'm afraid it has something to do with this."

The man had just finished speaking when the expression on Madam Lilian's face changed.

"The Ocean Heart." Her eyes were a little dull. After muttering under her breath, she waved the man away.

Madam Lilian closed her eyes.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Quina was surprised to see that Madam Lilian was in a bad mood, and could not help asking with concern.

Madam Lilian suddenly opened her eyes and there was a sharp gleam in them.

"Quina, something's wrong. My granddaughter is in danger. Hurry, send someone to bring Jenna over," she said urgently.

Quina was stunned. Realizing the severity of the matter, she immediately nodded.

"Wait. It's better for you to pick up Jenna in person." Just after Quina took a few steps, Madam Lilian ordered from behind. Quina's eyes widened. To prevent Madam Lilian from worrying, she agreed.

It was not until Quina had left that Madam Lilian breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at that time, she began to pace back and forth restlessly in the room.

Memories of the past slowly resurfaced in her mind.

The Ocean Heart truly existed. It was no rumor. She was well aware of this.

In the museum in France that year, she had seen the extremely rare, beautiful, blue diamond in person. At that time, she had also been captivated by its beauty.

That auction had gathered all the rich businessmen and jewelry experts in the world. All these people came for the sake of taking a look at this rare diamond. It was big, with a weight of forty or fifty carats. It could be said that there were only a few of them left in the world.

That day, many well-known people came, which gave this diamond a mysterious aura.

Old Master Richards had been one of them.

Madam Lilian was standing on a podium in the museum when she saw Old Master Richards. Being rather observant, she realized the complexity of the current situation. The owner of the museum was one of her friends. At that time, the coup in Europe was a little chaotic. He was afraid that it would interfere with the Ocean Heart's auction. So, he had specially invited Madam Lilian.
