Chapter 1017 It Was Stolen
As Jameson spoke, he turned to face Jara.
Mr. Ramsey also looked at him with glistened eyes.
As a result, Jara briefed him of Jade of Heaven and the rationale for their requests.
He didn't hide anything. After all, it would be inexcusable if they duped him as he was a member of the Ethanbezs.
Besides, they had to be sincere since they needed his assistance.
Therefore, Jara chose to be frank.
After some explanation, Jara added, "Mr. Ramsey, this piece of jade is nothing more than a toy in your hands. It really doesn't have much use. I can trade it for other artifacts if you're willing to part with it. I'll gladly assist you in obtaining it as long as you want it. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Mr.Ramsey narrowed his eyes.
He was not dumb. He knew what Jameson meant by bringing so many people here today.
The people seated on the spot were all people who might easily have a big influence outside.
But now, they've all surrendered their dignity and sought his help.
To put it nicely, it was to help. To put it bluntly, it was to try peaceful means before using force.
It was up to him whether he was sensible.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle helplessly.
Mr. Ramsey shook his head and answered, "Mr. Holland, what are you talking about? In fact, I'm friends with your Dad. How can I say no when you need help? It's just that..."
With a pair of piercing eyes, he paused and glanced at Anderson and Jara.
Then, with a smile, he continued, "I've always heard that the Jordan and Holland families aren't getting along. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Holland seem to have a great friendship."
The business situation in Ascijan was at a stalemate. As merchants, they had to stand on the side as well.
Otherwise, it was difficult to predict when the other party would target him, and he might easily get himself into trouble.
That was why Mr. Ramsey asked this question at this moment.
Anderson smiled faintly.
"Business is business. The grievance of the last generation has nothing to do with us. Mr. Ramsey, you are a wise man. I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about."
As soon as his words fell, Mr. Ramsey trembled violently.
He did understand what Anderson meant.
Immediately, a flicker appeared in his eyes.
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. I'll have someone bring it to you and hand it over to you."
As he spoke, he grabbed his phone to make a call.
Seeing this, the group of people couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
But, at this moment.
Mr. Ramsey yelled into his phone.
"What?! It was stolen?"
......
The unexpected caught everyone off guard.
This time, they had originally thought they could easily obtain Jade of Heaven.
They didn't expect the jade to be stolen, though.
Clarissa and the others realized that Mr. Ramsey's face had turned green and that this was no joke. It had been stolen for real.
After he hung up the phone, Lauren hurriedly questioned, "Mr. Ramsey, what is going on?"
Mr. Ramsey turned around and gazed at them with a livid face.
"I've always kept that piece of jade at home. But when I asked my family to take it out just now, they discovered that it had disappeared a long time ago."
Clarissa's expression shifted slightly after hearing this.
"Mr. Ramsey, may I know where you live?"
"It's just nearby."
"Is it convenient for you to take us to have a look?"
"Of course."
As a result, they didn't even attend the dinner banquet. Instead, they dashed out the door.
At this moment, Elicia came out and spotted them racing out of the house.
She was stunned for a while before turning around to ask Matteo who was with her.
"Matteo, what's wrong with them? Why do they seem to be in such a rush? Is there something wrong?"
With a smile, Matteo replied, "What can happen to them? It's most likely their business. Well, today is your day. Why should we care about them? Let's enjoy ourselves!"
Ever since Matteo handed over all of the company's matters to Anderson, she had completely let go.
Now, she didn't care about what was going on with it anymore.
Because in her opinion, Anderson and Clarissa's abilities were already above her and her husband.
After all, it was pointless for her to be anxious about something they couldn't resolve.
Her open-minded and optimistic attitude had then affected Elicia.
Therefore, Elicia grinned and said, "You're right. Let's go to the living room and have a cup of tea."
"Alright."
After they left, Bowen walked out from the side.
He couldn't help but frown as he watched Jameson go with Lauren.
With his palm raised, he beckoned to a servant and ordered, "Check out what's going on with them. Come back and inform me as soon as you get the news."
"Yes."
The servant took the instruction and left.
At this time, on the other side.
Lauren and a group of people got in the car and drove directly to Mr. Ramsey's house.
Mr. Ramsey had a successful business and also purchased a luxurious villa here.
Since today was Elicia's birthday, as a relative, Mr. Ramsey's family attended it. Only his wife stayed at home because she was seriously ill and needed to rest.
When a group of individuals arrived at the villa, they noticed a pale-faced woman standing at the door as soon as they got out of the car. She was thin and frail.
Mr. Ramsey's face sank as soon as he spotted her, and he quickly walked over.
He held the woman and rebuked her, "Why did you come out? Didn't we agree on you waiting at home?"
As he uttered, he looked up at the servants behind him.
"What are you guys up to? Why did you let her dress so simply and stand here when it's so cold outside?"
"Sir, we've tried to persuade Madam, but she won't listen to us," the servants all replied respectfully as they lowered their heads.
Hearing the servants' aggrieved voices, the woman raised her hand to prevent Mr. Ramsey from becoming enraged once more.
She attempted a smile and murmured, "It's not their fault. I insisted on waiting here when I learned that there would be guests."
As she spoke, her gaze landed on Anderson and the rest who had been standing not too far away.
"Honey, who are they?"
It was only now that Mr. Ramsey remembered that they were present.
Soon, he calmed down and suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned and introduced to her, "Elsie, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Jordan, the CEO of Jordan Group. This is his wife, Clarissa. He is Mr. Holland, the head of the Hollands, and this lady..."
