Hutton seemed taken aback.
“Just that?”
“Yes.”
After a brief silence, Hutton said, “Rosalynn, this is very strange.
That man broke in and stole just a jade pendant. Is this pendant some sort of priceless treasure?”
While the jade pendant might not be valuable in any conventional sense, it did hold a significant secret.

“I’LL start investigating right away.”
After a brief pause, Hutton continued, “Rosalynn, there must be someone behind all of this. I mean,
your surveillance camera wouldn’t be destroyed for no reason. You should really call the police right
away.”
Rosalynn replied, “I’ll go to the police station tomorrow.”
“Rosalynn, change those locks as soon as you can. And please, be extra vigilant about your safety
from now on. Maybe you should ask Brian to beef up security around you,” Hutton urged, worry
creeping into his words.
What did he mean by saying she should ask Brian to send more people to protect her?
At this moment, all he cared about was his mother, and he probably wouldn’t have the time to worry
about her.
“Alright, I’m hanging up now,” Rosalynn said, trying to hide the bitterness welling up inside her.

“Is there anything else?”
“Rosalynn, you haven’t forgotten about the opening of my company tomorrow, have you?” Hutton
asked.
“Of course not, Hutton. I remember,” Rosalynn replied with a smile.
“Will you be bringing Brian along?”
Rosalynn hesitated for a moment, then responded, “I’ll probably come alone.”
Hearing this, Hutton asked, “Rosalynn, did you have a fight with Brian? Was it because of his mother?”
Hutton was a smart man. Ever since Rosalynn asked him to investigate Brad, he had been thinking
about this possibility.
