Chapter 945

“How about this, Mr. Yates? Since you bought the jade for twenty million, I’ll buy it back from you at the
same price. Will that do?” Bob asked with utter sincerity.

Seeing how the old man had humbled himself to the point of pleading with Ryan, the guests reeled in
shock.

Wow! Mr. Chapman must really love Alice a lot! The Chapman family has been going downhill since the
latter disappeared, and Hera only made it worse with the embarrassing stunt she pulled tonight. Mr.
Chapman’s probably boiling with rage now… With descendants like Hera, how could a family not be in
decline?

Bob, Sisley, and Hera couldn’t help but stare nervously at the handsome Ryan.

Mary, on the other hand, was in a state of panic. Sh*t! I never knew Alice had hidden a red jade or that
it belonged to the Yates family… I’d have stolen it and maintained control of the situation if I had known
earlier! Argh! I’m sure Ryan will begin to suspect something now…

The next second, Mary composed herself and approached Ryan with a stiff smile. “Ryan, this red jade
might be fake, or perhaps it isn’t the one from the Yates family. I remember wearing one as a kid, but
unfortunately, I lost it sometime after.”

“Ah! Could the daughter of the Chapman family have picked up the red jade?” Penelope chimed in,
determined to convince everyone that the red jade belonged to Mary.

Upon hearing that, Bob glared at the mother and daughter. “What nonsense is that? Ms. Canter, you’re
a respectable lady in your fifties, so why would you still tell such a blatant lie? Listen. This red jade
belonged to my daughter, Alice Chapman! She had had it on her since she was a child. As for why Mr.
Yates is claiming that the jade came from the Yates family, I have no idea! All I know is that it’s one of
my daughter’s belongings!”



Even though Bob hadn’t raised his voice, he spoke with such good diction that everyone heard him
perfectly.

Mary was livid and embarrassed, but more importantly, she didn’t want to be thrown out of the Yates
family or to have them suspect her identity.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chapman,” she replied as she tried hard to hide her humiliation and save her pride. “The
thing is, I did indeed have a red jade when I was young. I may have mistaken this for mine because
they look so similar.”

Meanwhile, Ryan scrutinized the piece of jade in his hands.

This red jade is so vivid and clear that it’s almost flawless. Its distinct shape, however, is what’s most
striking…

“This red jade undoubtedly belongs to the Yates family. I don’t know why it’s been kept by the
Chapmans all these years, but the fact remains that it’s my family’s heirloom,” Ryan said, his voice
polite and firm. “Even though this may belong to Ms. Alice Chapman, I have no intention of returning it
to you, Mr. Chapman. I don’t intend to sell it to you, either. If the jade really were your most prized
possession, you should’ve kept it safe and secure.”

With that, Ryan tightened his grip around the red jade and continued, “However, not only did you not
respect it, but you also put it up for auction. Your family has willingly sold it, so why can’t I buy it? The
transaction was completely open and above board, Mr. Chapman. Therefore, this red jade is mine to
keep.”

By then, Bob had turned white as a sheet. After all, never in his wildest dreams did he think Ryan
would be so stubborn.



“I-I… I beg of you, Mr. Yates. Ashlyn has never seen it before, and I wanted to give it to her!” Bob
pleaded in a shaky voice.

“Ashlyn Berry?” Ryan asked curiously. “What has this got to do with Ms. Berry?”
