The coldness emanated, yet only Anna Green felt it clearly beside him.
She turned her head, casting a complex glance at Vivian Thornecroft, with a heart full of reluctance...
"Naturally, it’s been with me since I was a child." Vivian Thornecroft’s voice had a faint trace of anger.
Obviously, she was somewhat displeased by Louis Lawrence’s words.
Louis Lawrence chuckled softly.
Indeed, when someone wants to be shameless, even the false can be made into truth.
Ariana, standing by the side, also picked up on something amiss.
Back then, it was her who brought Vivian Thornecroft back; naturally, she was the one who knew most clearly about these matters.
"Ah Chen, what is this nonsense you’re speaking? Of course, this necklace belongs to Vivian, who else could it belong to?"
This statement seemed somewhat absurd to her.
Moreover, not only the necklace but even the identity has been confirmed, Vivian Thornecroft is indeed the child of the Lawrence Family.
Why abruptly bring up the necklace now?
"I’ve said before, that necklace was a gift from Bella Green back then, why don’t you dare admit it now? And, Aunt, Grandfather, why are you reacting like this? Do you also know about that necklace?"
Louis Lawrence squinted his eyes, pretending to ask in wonder.
Indeed, the matter of the necklace was known only to the elders.
After all, what happened with Lawrence wasn’t something the old man wanted to mention often; it’s a wound in his heart.
So regarding the necklace, the younger generations weren’t informed.
Even if they knew Vivian Thornecroft was brought back, the details remained unclear.
On being asked so bluntly, the pair suddenly snapped to attention.
Right, Louis Lawrence wouldn’t know that the necklace belonged to Lawrence, so why keep fixating on it?
The old man from Lawrence Family scrutinized Louis Lawrence with a puzzled look.
Yet in his heart, he didn’t immediately condemn Vivian Thornecroft, for Louis Lawrence had now returned to the company.
He understood the situation clearly; if Louis harbored intentions, it wasn’t impossible.
While the old man was pondering, Mason Bennett, having watched the drama unfold, abruptly spoke.
"The necklace you’re speaking of, is it a black-strung teardrop jade pendant with a date engraved?"
With a single sentence, Mason Bennett drew everyone’s attention.
The old man and Ariana were especially shocked.
Even the younger members of the Lawrence Family were unaware of the necklace, let alone Mason Bennett.
Yet not only does he know, but he knows it in detail?
The main thing is, the necklace that Vivian Thornecroft is wearing now has a different string.
The black string had worn out, and he had replaced it with a new chain.
Yet Mason Bennett could describe it so clearly...
Vivian Thornecroft felt a jolt in his heart and fixed a gaze upon Mason Bennett.
"How, how do you know?"
Ariana covered her mouth, speaking in astonishment.
Mason Bennett’s gaze turned steely, looking at Vivian Thornecroft, his expression grew even darker.
This was the first time Mason Bennett showed such aversion towards Vivian Thornecroft since his arrival.
Previously, it was mere anger, but now, it seemed significantly bothersome.
"Back then, I saw Bella wearing that chain, but later, it disappeared."
He said as he stared intently at the chain exposed on Vivian Thornecroft.
After a while, he realized his words weren’t clear and explained.
"The old man from Lawrence Family might know, I was kidnapped as a child and held next door to Bella’s family; it was then that I met Bella and saw her wearing that chain."
With Mason Bennett’s explanation, what wasn’t clear anymore?
The old man and Ariana were left in shock, unable to react for quite some time.
