Chapter 24 Framed
Quentin's instructions made Sharon feel needed, and the smile on her lips widened a little. She smiled confidently and said, "Rest assured and leave it to me. Nothing will go wrong." "Okay," Quentin responded indifferently and looked away from her.
Sharon stood there and secretly pondered how to approach that so-called Miss Wilson and help to bring about cooperation between Quentin and Lia Jewellery, thereby gaining more favor from Quentin. As she racked her brain, that Wilson family name inadvertently reminded her of Leah, whom she had just met in the corridor not long ago, and her expression was instantly filled with contempt and disgust. Sharon snorted. Both of them had Wilson as their surname. One was a company's president and related to the richest family, the Wilson family, while the other was a vixen with no identity, no background, and too inferior to appear in public.
"Both of them are human, but how can they be so different?" Sharon thought.
Suddenly, Maria reminded her in a low voice next to her ear, "Sharon, Leah is here."
Sharon raised her head and followed Maria's gaze.
As expected, Leah was standing opposite her and Quentin.
Reminded of something, a hint of smugness inexplicably appeared in Sharon's expression. She tilted her head to look at Quentin beside her and deliberately said, "Quentin, look. Miss Wilson also comes to my birthday party. Could it be that she knew you were here, so she came especially to see you?"
Quentin was slightly surprised and thought, "Leah is here too?"
He frowned and looked ahead. As he saw Leah not far away, a hint of hatred quickly flashed in his eyes.
It was just not long ago when Leah treated him and his mother with hostility, and today, she came to Sharon's party just to bump into him and seek his attention.
This woman truly knew how to play hard to get.
Although Leah was far away, she had good eyesight and did not miss the hatred in Quentin's gaze. The corners of her mouth curled up, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
She grumbled secretly, "Did that
bastard think I came here because I
still liked him and had lingering
feelings for him? Tch, he is truly narcissistic and has no self-awareness at all."
Leah rolled her eyes in disbelief. She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Sharon's panicked voice.
"Ah! Where is my necklace? How could my necklace go missing?"
Her scream brought everyone's attention to her, and many people nearby were starting to help Sharon find the necklace.
Maria looked at Sharon's bare neck with a frown and said, "It would be such a pity if you lost that precious necklace. This won't do. I have to help you find it."
"I... I clearly wore it around my neck, so how could it go missing?" Sharon choked up, and she was so sad that her eyes reddened.
Then she turned her head at
Quentin, looking pitiful and
miserable. "Quentin... what should I
do? The birthday gift you gave me is gone. It's all my fault. I should have
been more careful."

She looked so miserable that everyone started to take pity on her, and they all intensified their efforts to look around and find that necklace for her.
The reason why Quentin asked the designer to design that necklace was to track down Quintina. Sharon's birthday came as a coincidence, so he gave it to her as a gift.
It was just a necklace, and he didn't care if it was lost.
But seeing how sad Sharon was, he couldn't say those things out loud, so he lowered his tone and said, "Try to recall it first. Did you put it somewhere and forget to take it?" Sharon sniffled, "Then let me think about it first."
About 20 seconds later, she seemed to have remembered something as her eyes suddenly widened.
"I remember now. I was... in the corridor..."
Then she looked straight at Leah
and said aggrievedly while biting her lips, "Miss Wilson, that necklace was given to me by Quentin as my birthday gift. That gift is very
important to me, so can you return it to me?"
