Chapter 1123 A Deal
Naturally, Eleanor sensed what the man was pressing against her waist, and her firm expression started to crack. Frightened, she retrieved the necklace she just bought from her bag and handed it to the man. “T-Then you can have a look!”
The man took the necklace and thanked her politely before handing it to another man behind him. “Hugh, take a look at this!”
Hugh was a man in his forties, and he accepted the necklace solemnly. Then, he used a magnifying glass to inspect it carefully.
Meanwhile, Eleanor and Amy stared at him intently throughout the process, worried that he would switch the necklace out, but it seemed that he did not intend to do such a thing.
Not long later, he returned the necklace to the man and shook his head, reporting somewhat morosely, “Sir, it isn’t the one we’re looking for.”
Hearing that, the man glanced at Hugh with a frown and asked again, “It isn’t?”
Hugh shook his head. “No, this is a replica that was made recently, not longer than twenty years ago.”
The man nodded and handed the necklace back to Eleanor. “Thanks for your help. This isn’t what we’re looking for, so you can leave.”
After that, he handed them 1,500 in cash and said, “Take this as thanks for giving us your precious time.”
Eleanor hurriedly rejected him, “It’s fine.”
“Take it.” The man forcefully shoved the money in her hands.
As Eleanor was full of panic and only wanted to leave as soon as possible, she accepted it and quickly said, “All right, thanks.”
At the sight of his solemn expression, Amy decided to be cautious and replied vaguely, “My husband was the one who gave it away, and I didn’t ask. It was a long time ago, so I have to go back and ask him.”
The man said, “Okay, in that case, contact us if you have any news. I can ensure that as long as it’s what we’re looking for, we won’t pay you any less than 30 million.”
Amy’s eyes immediately lit up as she hurriedly replied, “All right, wait for me. Once I look into it, I’ll let you know!”
Upon saying that, she dragged Eleanor away and left.
Meanwhile, the man narrowed his eyes as he looked at their retreating backs. “Go and look into this woman.”
His subordinates asked dubiously, “Sir, do you think she has what we’re looking for?”
The man replied, “There’s some hope. It’s better than us having absolutely no clue where to start looking!”
