The next second, another familiar voice reached my ears. "Mrs. Gildon, I don't want to stay here. I only want to see Chris. If you letsee him, I'll leave and won't cause any trouble." It was Jewel. She was actually here.
From her words, it seemed that she was here to find Chris.
I had called Chris, thinking that he would contact Jewel, but it seemed that I was wrong.
This woman was something else. She actually dared to find her way to the Gildon estate.

"Mrs. Gildon, I'm not. I just want to see Chris." Jewel kept up her innocent act, soft and weak.
The adage that one should not judge a person by their outward appearance was held in countless instances.
The first tI laid eyes on Jewel, I thought she seemed so innocent and pure. I had the fleeting impression that the world had beca cleaner and more radiant place because of her.
But, boy, was I wrong. I got smacked right across the face with the truth.. "Chris isn't here. I've already told you that!" Bree's voice rose a bit in anger.
"I know he's not here." Jewel's voice was calm and steady, her tone indifferent.
Bree didn't have such composure. She wasn't a loose cannon, but she was definitely a straight shooter who wouldn't put up with any games. "Are you saying that I've got him hidden away somewhere?" Jewel silently acquiesced.

"Mrs. Gildon, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm telling the truth," Jewel said, then paused.
Moments later, I heard Bree gasp in shock. "What are you doing? you e keep this up, I'm calling the police."
Bree's voice sounded off, and my heart skipped a beat, I rushed m forward to see what was going on and saw Jewel with a green bottle in her hand.
