Chapter 157 The Unexpected Gift

Waylon smiled faintly, "This gift is from Mr. Clark."

Cecilia was shocked, "Mr... Mr. Clark?"

"Yes," said Waylon.

Cecilia thought to herself, 'Oh no, oh no, was Mr. Clark trying to warn me something? Did my family ever offend him?"

Waylon nodded at Charlotte and drove away.

Cecilia grabbed Charlotte's arm, "What is your relationship with Mr. Colton?"

Charlotte stuttered, "Fr-friends?"

Cecilia raised an eyebrow, "You're friends with Mr. Colton?"

"My uncle knows him."

"I feel like Mr. Clark wants to silence me! What should I do? Should I return the island to Mr. Clark?!"

Charlotte replied, "No, don't do that. If you return it, he might want to silence you."

Cecilia was left speechless.

Their taxi had arrived, and Charlotte comforted Cecilia, "Don't worry, if Mr. Clark sent you a gift, it's a sign of goodwill. Don't jump to conclusions. Let's hurry; I promised my uncle I'd return by nine."

Eloise exclaimed, "He sets a curfew for you?"

Charlotte replied, "Yeah, he's worried about me getting into trouble."

The three of them got in the car, and the driver charged extra because they had a pet.

It took about an hour to reach the residential community where Arthur lived. It was a mid-range community with a decent environment. Still, the security measures were problematic because as soon as the security guard saw them, he opened the gate without asking any questions.

Cecilia said, "With this level of security, an assassin could easily kill everyone in the neighborhood."

Eloise rolled her eyes, "Madam, who's crazy enough to hire an assassin to target these ordinary people?"

Cecilia remained silent.

Charlotte found the specific floor following the address given by Hazel. She wiped away some sweat, and suddenly, Eloise exclaimed and grabbed her hand. Charlotte looked confused, "What's wrong? Is there a mosquito?"

Eloise grabbed her wrist, "Charlotte! Your bracelet!"

It was cold today, so Charlotte wore a long-sleeved shirt. She felt hot after walking a long distance and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the bracelet on her wrist.

Charlotte curiously asked, "What's going on?"

Eloise pulled Cecilia over and said, "Ms. Wesley! Your family is in the jewelry business. Come and take a look at this bracelet!"

Cecilia also came over to have a look, her expression changing slightly, "Secondary Deposit Jadeite."

Eloise exclaimed excitedly, "Don't you think the jade looks familiar?"

Cecilia, who occasionally paid some attention to the family business, had received a majority share of the family's jewelry company as a birthday gift when she was sixteen. Therefore, she would occasionally visit the company. The jade of this bracelet indeed looked very familiar.

"It's the one Mr. Clayton presented at last year's Jade Fair," Eloise said. "That piece of jade was undoubtedly top-notch, and Mr. Clayton even said he wanted to keep it as a family heirloom."

Cecilia nodded, "Judging from the jade quality, it is indeed that piece."
