My Three Darlings

Chapter 112

Eliza’s hand that was holding the phone tightened. She did not expect that the jade pendant Luca had given her was now in Riley’s hands!

But…

She took a deep breath. “Mr. Lawson, how would I know if you’re lying to me?” “I remember I’ve already lost that jade pendant before I went to the Lawson residence.” “But you said that I lost it when I was in the Lawson residence?” Riley sneered. “It doesn’t matter when you lost it. Anyway, this jade pendant should be important to you.” As soon as he finished speaking, Eliza received a photo from him on Whatsapp. It was indeed the jade pendant that Luca gave her last time! Eliza’s heart tightened. She lowered her voice.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “What do you want?” “What do you think?” Riley’s voice was cold. “It’s already so late when Esme was brought to the police station.” “She is always pampered by us. She will not be used to living in places like the police station.” “I want her back.” Eliza bit her lips and looked up at Beau, who was in front of her. She silently pressed the speaker button. Riley’s proud voice echoed in the corridor. “Eliza, I’m not threatening you. This jade pendant is in my hands now, so it’s mine now.” “If you don’t do what I asked you to do, I won’t give this back to you.” “It is said that this jade pendant is related to your mother, whom you have never met.” “Moreover, if I get too worried about Esme and accidentally break this jade pendant…” “You can just break it.” Before he could finish, Beau had already coldly said, “Mr. Lawson, I suggest you

break this jade pendant immediately.” Eliza was stunned and looked at Beau in disbelief. Beau snatched the phone from Eliza’s hand. There was a hint of sarcasm in his low, cold voice. “Mr. Lawson, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Now, the only thing your family can use to threaten Eliza is this jade pendant, right?” “Then why don’t you just break this jade pendant, so that no matter what you do, you can’t threaten us. We can let Esme suffer as much as she deserves.” On the other end of the line, Riley fell silent. Indeed, the only thing left in his hand was this jade pendant that could make Eliza

compromise. Although he threatened Eliza that he would break the jade pendant, it was impossible for him to do so. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)These were supposed to be threats, but Beau ruthlessly exposed them. “If I were you.” Seeing that Riley was silent, Beau continued to speak coldly, “I will try my best to please Eliza, and also come up with the most valuable thing to exchange. Unlike now, threaten her that I will break the jade pendant in exchange for Esme’s good sleep tonight.” His words were calm and deep, with irresistible majesty. In the Lawson residence, Riley’s body began to tremble He glanced at the jade pendant on the tea table in front of him and suddenly felt that this jade pendant was his life-saving straw. That was right. He would only be able to threaten a little girl like Eliza who had no personal opinion by saying that he would break the jade pendant. But when he met a calm man like Beau, his scheme would be exposed. After a while, Riley sighed. “Mr. Valentine.” His voice was low. “I want to use this pendant to save Esme.”

dant is far less valuable than Esme’s life.” “Even if the jade pendant was left behind by Eliza’s mother, I believe that no matter whether her mother is dead or alive, as long as I, Beau, want to, I can find her.” “By then, your jade pendant will be worthless.” Riley’s hand, which was holding the phone, began to tremble violently. He gritted his teeth and said, “What do you think I can exchange this jade pendant for, Mr. Valentine?” “If it doesn’t meet my expectations, I’ll just smash the jade pendant!” “Then I suggest you smash it now.” “After all, the person Esme framed is not my wife, so I can’t interfere. But if you break the jade pendant, I have sufficient reason to attack Esme.” Riley, “…” He looked at the jade pendant in front of him and felt helpless. Half an hour ago, when he found this jade pendant, he seemed to have found a life saving straw! But now, he could not use this jade pendant to deal with Eliza. He couldn’t protect Esme, nor could he make Esme’s life in the police station better. Also, he could not break or smash this jade pendant! So… was this the price of provoking Beau?(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) He clearly held what Eliza cared about the most in his hands, yet he couldn’t do anything! After a long time, Riley took a deep breath and said, “What can I do now, Mr. Valentine?” “Keep the thing in your hand well. At the most critical time, maybe you can get what you want.” “Remember, you are not qualified to bargain with me.” After that, he hung up without waiting for Riley’s reply. Eliza was dumbstruck. Beau put the phone back into her hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. “You’reCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

stunned.” “Yes.” Eliza nodded her head. She was indeed stunned by what she saw. Perhaps it was because Beau had always been gentle in front of her. She had never seen him so tough and cold. It was Riley who had threatened her on the phone just now, but now Beau had overwhelmed Riley all by himself. What else could she do other than to say that he was impressive? “Let’s go back.” Seeing that she was still in a daze, Beau helplessly rubbed her head and pulled her into the elevator. “There are still many things to do tomorrow.”

Eliza nodded and followed him to leave. On the way back, she sat in the back seat of the car and couldn’t help peeping at him. He was leaning back in the leather seat with his eyes closed, taking a nap. His facial features were sharp and angular. Even when he closed his eyes, there was a powerful aura that could not be ignored all over his body. He could… indeed be arrogant. Beau didn’t even open his eyes. “Am I that good looking?” Eliza’s entire body went rigid, and she hurriedly averted her gaze. “I just feel… that you are very impressive.”.

The call with Riley made her still immersed in her worship and shock towards him. “You won’t be easily threatened after experiencing a lot.” He said in a low voice. Eliza pursed her lips. “Have you ever been threatened by someone?” He fell silent for a moment. Finally, he smiled faintly. “Such things are common in business.” Eliza nodded. That’s right. He was a businessman, and this kind of thing should often happen. Seeing that she did not say anything, Beau quietly changed the subject. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)”Is today Lilliana’s birthday?” “That’s right.” Eliza nodded. “You actually still remember her.” She thought that a person as busy as him would never remember a little girl whom he had met by chance. “Of course.” Beau pulled her into his arms. “She looks quite like you.” A long while later, his low and deep voice sounded from above her head. “If only our daughter will look like you in the future.” In his warm arms, listening to his low magnetic voice, Eliza’s face was suddenly hot. “But it’s better for her to be as smart as you.” Unlike her, she was extremely stupid. Beau smiled. “That’s right.”
