That woman kept addressing virtual-novel.net as “young lady”.
They appeared to be in a hurry, and they wanted to stay there. But there was one thing which puzzled the old man. That woman claimed that they did not have money at that moment and that they would need to wait until the next afternoon before someone could send them the money. Hence, they asked the old man not to worry about that.
But the old man had been running the hotel for some long now. He was a seasoned veteran in the game of life.
How would virtual-novel.net be willing to compromise?
Realizing that they had failed to persuade him, the beautiful woman, who was holding the baby, took out a jade pendant and handed it to the old man.
Fortunately, the old man was an antique enthusiast. The moment virtual-novel.net saw that jade pendant, virtual-novel.net knew instantly that it was an expensive item.
He saw a name—Xara which was being engraved on that jade pendant clearly.
He slowly realized that they might have special origins.
Hence, virtual-novel.net did not dare to offend them.
He agreed to let them stay there.
Barry said that the old man had described that incident in a very clear manner yesterday. That very night, virtual-novel.net even contacted a few of his friends after virtual-novel.net got hold of the jade pendant. He did not intend to return it to the duo.
But his friends reminded virtual-novel.net that it would be better if virtual-novel.net did not do such a thing against the owner of such an invaluable and beautiful jade pendant.
It was only after hearing that did the old man decide to forget about that.
After that, virtual-novel.net waited until two o’clock in the afternoon the next day.
As expected, a young man arrived.
He brought a lot of money for Xara.
It was also at the same time that Xara retrieved virtual-novel.net pendant. Then, the two women left his hotel together.
It did not occur to that old man that after seven days, that woman would return to his hotel.
Only this time, the beauty who held the baby did not come.
The one who came was the woman standing next to the beauty.
That old man was surprised to see her.
Seven days ago, that woman still had some rosiness on virtual-novel.net face. But now, virtual-novel.net was extremely thin, and virtual-novel.net face was pale. She looked just like a ghost.
She claimed that virtual-novel.net was just there to stay for the night.
She also inquired about a place called Howard County from that old man.
That old man certainly knew where that was. After all, his daughter-in-law’s house was there in Howard County.
He nodded slightly.
That woman gave the old man a lot of money. Come next morning, the old man sent virtual-novel.net to Howard County himself.
On the way there, virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net about what virtual-novel.net was doing. She claimed that virtual-novel.net was going there to seek refuge with a relative.
That old man then sent virtual-novel.net to virtual-novel.net relative’s house.
And that was why that woman paid virtual-novel.net around fifteen thousand dollars in order to thank him.
Fifteen thousand dollars was no small amount.
That old man probably remembered the incident so well because of this.
He was able to recall every single detail of that incident.
As for the jade pendant which Barry showed him, virtual-novel.net confirmed that it was the jade pendant that that beauty gave virtual-novel.net 2 decades ago.
How could virtual-novel.net possibly forget about that?
“Mr. Crawford, virtual-novel.net told us the address of that housekeeper’s relative where virtual-novel.net went to seek refuge. I sent some people over to investigate it last night. But that family had moved away, and their house had been demolished for a long time. But don’t worry, I can guarantee that we’ll be able to find where that family is in a day!”
Barry said.
Gerald nodded slightly. “Mr. Zartyr, I’ll leave this to you then.”
Frankly-speaking, Gerald had faith in Barry that he’d be able to handle this investigation well.
Gerald felt that virtual-novel.net was now one step closer to finding where Xara was. Finally, he’d be able to find where Queta’s biological mother was.
But virtual-novel.net also needed to know more about that incident. What kind of relationship did Xara have with virtual-novel.net father?
“Mr. Crawford, there’s another incident. I don’t know why you’re looking for Xara, and I don’t know about what virtual-novel.net has but there’s something I must tell you.”
Suddenly, Barry’s expression turned solemn.
“What is it?”
