Chapter 1134 Sapphire Necklace
Olivia asked, "What happened? Who are they?"
Henry gave her a meaningful glance. "They're looking for a sapphire necklace. Didn't I
give you one like that? You can show it to them whenever it's convenient for you."
She immediately understood his implication. "Oh, do you mean that necklace? I lost it. I
brought it along when we went on vacation a few months back and it got lost."
"How did you manage to lose it, Olivia?" He sounded regretful as he looked toward the
men. "I'm afraid we can't help you."
She followed his gaze toward the men. Their leader looked noble and gentlemanly, with an
extraordinary aura and handsome features. His eyes were clear and his skin was flawless,
while a sapphire stud was embedded in one ear. It was like what her father had said—they
didn't look like crooks.
Albert Bleu got up and moved toward Olivia. "Can you describe your necklace? You can
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalso show me a picture if you have it."
She studied the man curiously. He can't possibly be linked to my background, right?
"Where are you from? Why are you looking for the necklace?"
He did not answer her question and asked her instead, "How about you tell me where and
when you lost it?"
She made up a lie on the spot. "I lost it a few months ago on a vacation to Promise Island."
The man made a noise of assent and took out his phone to find a picture of the necklace.
"Can you see if your necklace looks like this?"
She moved nearer to look. It was a dark blue necklace with a large sapphire at the center
which was surrounded by embedded white diamonds. It was obvious that it was highly
valuable and looked exactly like hers.
However, she wasn't sure who the man was. Was he someone linked to her lineage, or was
he just a jewelry merchant or even a swindler? Besides, the necklace resembled the one
they had stolen back in Eurosia. If they couldn't explain it away, everyone would assume
she had stolen it. That would cause a lot of trouble.
She only murmured indistinctly, "Almost. It's not as pretty as yours though."
The man seemed to have sensed Olivia's worry and kindly replied, "The necklace is very
important to me. You have to contact me if you manage to find it. I am willing to pay a
good price for it."
She smiled and concurred. "Alright. Are you from a jewelry company?"
"No."
"An antique collector then?"
He seemed extremely patient and replied again. "No."
She laughed softly. "Well, you aren't either of these. The necklace can't possibly be some
sort of souvenir, right?"
The leader didn't have the chance to answer since one of his subordinates had become

tell us whether you can find it or not."
Christoff, who hadn't spoken since he came in, leaned against the front counter and
murmured lazily, "Why are you talking like that? You are the ones who came here, so
what's wrong with asking you a few questions?"
His demeanor didn't seem challenging and he hadn't moved at all, but Olivia knew that he
had become irritated. Worried that he couldn't control himself and make a move, she
quickly sent him a placating look.
"It's okay, everyone has the right to their own privacy. I have been too rude, but I was just
curious."
He didn't care about that at all. Even though he seemed to be replying to her, he directed
his answer to the men instead. "How were you being rude? If they don't allow it, then they
should get out!"
The subordinate's eyes narrowed as he approached Christoff directly. "What did you say?"
Christoff straightened up and his gaze turned sharp. "I said, you are the ones asking for
help, so you should behave in that manner!"
