Chapter 181 Investigate! Thoroughly Investigate!
In the café, a few middle-aged women were chatting and laughing together.
Margaret was particularly happy today. She finally had something to show off in front of her friends. She waved the bracelet on her wrist and said proudly, "It's nothing special, really. My son-in-law gave it to me. It cost tens of thousands of dollars."
The surrounding middle-aged women were all envious, with their eyes glued to the bracelet on Margaret's wrist.
"Margaret, isn't your son-in-law known for being useless? How did he afford to buy this for you?" One woman asked, her eyes fixed on the bracelet.
"Oh, he won the lottery a few days ago and bought this for me as a gift."
Margaret was lying through her teeth without a hint of shame.
Dorothy, who was sitting nearby, snorted a few times. She knew Margaret all too well.
"What's the point of bragging? It's just a cheap bracelet. I'll have my son-in-law buy me a pair next time," Dorothy took a sip of coffee and said with an eye-roll.
'What are you showing off for? Your useless son-in-law William can't buy anything good. I bet it's fake,' thought Dorthy.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
They quickly shifted their attention to Dorothy.
"Dorothy, you're going to buy one too? Yours will definitely be better than hers."
"Of course, Dorothy's son-in-law is way better than William. They even live in Hillside Villa, right?"
"Hey, Margaret, didn't you say you were planning to buy a villa last time? Where did you buy it?"
At this point, someone brought up the topic of house.
Margaret's face turned red with anger. She had come out today to show off her bracelet, but these women were so jealous that they started to make her feel bad.
"I bought it."
Margaret was also angry, so she said it casually and took a big sip of coffee.
"Really? Where did you buy it?"
"Come on, tell us, where did you buy it?"
"Let's go, take us to see the villa you bought."
They were excited and eager, looking very nosy.
However, Dorothy poured cold water on the situation with a sarcastic remark, "Of course she bought it, in the upscale residential area, Villa No.1, for two hundred million dollars."
Upon hearing this, Dorothy couldn't help but burst into laughter, her smile spreading widely.
Margaret was furious, her teeth grinding. It was clear that Dorothy said it deliberately to humiliate her.
The other women, who had been excited, immediately deflated.
Upscale residential area, could Margaret afford it?
From Dorothy's words, it was obvious she was making fun of Margaret.
"Margaret, that's not right. If you didn't buy it, why lie to us? We wouldn't laugh at you."
They mocked her, their words saying they wouldn't laugh, but their eyes and expressions betrayed their true thoughts.
Margaret was furious, her face changing expressions rapidly. She stood up furiously, pointing at Dorothy and shouting, "Who said I didn't buy it? I bought it, my son-in-law bought it."
Dorothy was too infuriating, always getting on her nerves since childhood, and even now, she still was.
What was she so arrogant about? Just because she had a good son-in-law.
Upon thinking of this, Margaret felt even more disgusted with William.
It was all because of him that she was laughed at whenever she went out.
Damn it!
"Oh, still angry? Your useless son-in-law can afford a villa? Don't be ridiculous. Do you really believe what William says?"
Dorothy blew on her freshly done nails, her face cold and mocking.
Last time at the Smith Family, William said he bought a villa.
Did Margaret really believe such a lie?
"Shut up! What's wrong with my son-in-law?"
Margaret was furious. It was true that William embarrassed her, but being exposed so blatantly was humiliating.
So, she pointed at Dorothy's nose and cursed, "Look at your daughter Anna, how many men did she sleep with to get Terry? Your daughter is a slut who sells herself for glory. And you're even proud of that."
The next second, Dorothy stood up angrily and slapped Margaret hard. She cursed, "What's wrong with Anna? She's still richer than William. William is just a useless bum who lives off a woman. He's a disgrace to men."
Margaret holding her face, was also furious and slapped back.
The two spiteful women started fighting fiercely in the café, which was extremely violent.
It attracted a lot of onlookers and even got posted online.
In no time, they became famous in Lindwood City.
Upon returning home, Margaret's face was covered in nail marks, looking miserable.
Tyler was helpless. He applied medicine for Margaret and said, "Why do you bother with Dorothy? Look at you, scratched up like this, wasn't it a loss?"
Margaret hissed in pain and cursed, "Be gentle! I didn't lose. I scratched her pretty badly too, even pulled off her wig. You wouldn't believe it, Dorothy was wearing a wig. The scene was hilarious, serves her right for always showing off in front of me. She needed to know my strength."
Tyler could only sigh and shake his head."You should control your temper. Remember how you got beaten up last time?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Margaret felt uneasy and immediately reached for her phone to call William, asking, "William, what about that thing last time? Did you find the person who hit me?"
William was on the verge of losing his temper but still patiently explained when he received Margaret's call, "Not yet, still looking. Mom, you should stay home for the next few days."
Upon hearing that he hadn't found the person, Margaret lost hope. As expected, he was useless. She really thought he could do something.
"Alright, don't bother looking. I knew you were useless."
With that, Margaret hung up the phone.
"Aren't you going to tell William about the bracelet?" Tyler asked worriedly. After all, it seemed inappropriate for Margaret to take them without permission.
Margaret's face darkened, and she said coldly, "What's there to say? Now that it's in my hands, he can't take it back."
Tyler was helpless so he shook his head. Then he went to put away the medicine box without any words.
Margaret looked at the bracelet in her hand and remembered she still had half a packet of abortion medicine to brew.
She quickly went to brew it.
This time, she had to make sure Mary drank it.
Back to William's side, he was in George's office, radiating anger and killing intent.
George stood trembling in front of William. He bowed his head, and dare to speak.
William was on the verge of losing control.
In seven years, George had never seen William so angry. Could it be that something happened to Mary?
"Mr. Jones, what happened? What do you need me to do?" George, held his breath when he was asking.
Sweat was dripping down his forehead.
Although William was just standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, back facing him, his icy aura lowered the temperature of the entire boardroom.
He was like a drawn sword, ready to kill.
Terrifying!
"Investigate! Search the whole city! My mother's relic was stolen! I want to know who took it."
William said coldly, his eyes reflecting the city's lights and burning with anger.
At this moment, William was like an awakened lion, filled with rage.
"What?"
George was shocked and completely panicked.
This was a huge deal.
Aurora was a taboo for the Jones family and William.
Who dared to steal something left by Aurora?
This was pure suicide.
"I'll arrange it right away."
George panicked, he had to find Aurora's belongings before William lost his temper.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With that, George immediately made several calls to give strict and urgent orders.
In an instant, the entire Lindwood City, all the forces belonging to the Jones family, were mobilized.
