Chapter 971 Ask for His Help
Indeed, fate was a strange thing.
Not long ago, he mentioned that he didn't know when he would see Chantel again; moments later, she was here.
Right away, he enthusiastically welcomed her. "Welcome, Miss Jordan. Please come in."
Unexpectedly, Chantel looked displeased today.
As Mr. Jenkins had great life experiences, he was shrewd, and it took him quick enough to notice that she was not alone today. However, this time, instead of her young boyfriend, she brought a young and beautiful woman.
The woman was dressed in a casual suit. Regardless of her exquisite and stunning facial features, her eyes were sharp. At first glance, he could tell that she was tempered in an elite surrounding.
After studying Clarissa, Mr. Jenkins relaxed his eyebrows and smiled. "Miss Jordan, are you here to discuss the cooperation?"
Chantel rolled her eyes.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I come here then?"
After saying that, she paused and turned to introduce, "This is my niece-in-law, Clarissa, the president of Energence International Crop. You probably have heard about her, right?"
Mr. Jenkins was shocked.
Although he didn't know Clarissa, he had heard of Energence International Crop.
Even so, what shocked him the most was not Energence International Crop.
It was the title of Chantel's niece-in-law.
Who was Chantel's nephew?
Anderson Jordan! Then, didn't that mean Chantel's niece-in-law was...
As Mr. Jenkins thought about that, his face changed, and he instantly greeted respectfully, "I've heard a lot about you, Mrs. Jordan. Nice to meet you."
To that, Clarissa responded with a polite smile and shook his hand.
When she came in just now, she had scanned through the whole venue.
After knowing that this was an official jade trading event, she started to believe in Mr. Jenkins's identity.
Before that, Chantel was too unreliable. So, she had to be more vigilant and confirm the identity of her potential business partner.
With a smile, Clarissa said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jenkins. I came here today not only to discuss the cooperation of jade mine business, but I am also here to ask for your help."
Upon listening to her words, Mr. Jenkins was stunned before he responded with a nod.
"No problem. Why don't we talk inside?"
Clarissa nodded and followed him into the reception room.
In the reception room, Mr. Jenkins asked his secretary to make some coffee. Then, he asked with a calm expression, "Mrs. Jordan, may I know what can I help you with?"
With his intelligence, he knew that although Chantel used to be absurd, this time, she actually brought Clarissa along, which showed that they were sincere about the cooperation.
Since their collaboration had been decided, there was no need to be in a hurry.
Instead, he thought it was better to find out what he could help Clarissa first.
If he could do it, he would gladly do them a favor. After all, influential people like the Jordan Family wouldn't ask for help easily. If they did, it must be a problem that they couldn't solve.
In this case, it could either be due to a specific reason, or the problem was very tricky to deal with.
Since they had asked him, that signified that he could help with this matter. Thus, why not do them a favor? He could build a good relationship with them before going deep into their collaboration.
In this way, even if they didn't work together in the future, he could still maintain a good relationship with them as they owed him a favor. With that, it would be much more beneficial for him to work in Flaucford.
Within a few minutes, Mr. Jenkins had come up with a plan in his mind.
On the other hand, Clarissa looked as calm as ever and took out the jade pendant.
The moment she did that, she acutely noticed that Mr. Jenkins's face slightly changed.
Then, she smiled. "Aunt Chantel found this jade pendant here, and we've been looking for the owner. But unfortunately, we still can't find her. So, Mr. Jenkins, have you seen this jade pendant before? Do you know who it belongs to?"
After hearing what she asked, Mr. Jenkins guffawed.
Seeing that, Clarissa and Chantel got confused. They didn't know what he meant by this.
Mr. Jenkins shook his head and continued to laugh. "I guess this is what we call fate! Of course, I have seen this jade pendant because it belongs to a close friend of mine. When Miss Jordan was here two days ago, the owner was also here. If you could still remember, she is the one who accidentally bumped into you that day."
As he spoke, he chuckled again, "Speaking of which, this has been missing for two days, yet they only realized it this morning and immediately came here to look for it. However, they couldn't find it and asked me to help them find it again. Right after that, which is now, both of you bring the pendant here. What a coincidence."
When Chantel heard that it was Sierra's, her expression changed.
The color drained from her face.
Deep down, she was questioning why Sierra had to be the pendant's owner.
That day, when she saw this delicate and exquisite pendant, greed overtook her mind, and she brought it home to coax Anne. Anyhow, if she and Clarissa didn't send it back here, no one would know that she was the finder.
Now that they sent it back here, the others might think that she stole Sierra's pendant.
Although Chantel was greedy, she was egoistic at the same time.
She was so egoistic that she refused to admit that she loved trifles and bargains. Moreover, she was not willing to lower herself in front of others.
But in fact, she was just interpreting someone else's thoughts by using her own narrow perspective. Thus, she felt that everyone was villainous and would blame her for stealing someone else's belongings.
Ignoring Chantel's thoughts, Clarissa asked Mr. Jenkins calmly, "I am interested to know her. Do you mind introducing her to me?"
Originally, she thought that since the owner was a friend of Mr. Jenkins, it shouldn't be a problem to meet her through him.
However, Mr. Jenkins frowned, looking troubled.
"It's not that I can't... but my friend is in poor health. For all these years, she has been living in seclusion in the desert. This time, she is in Ascijan with her husband for a vacation. Besides, she loves being in a quiet environment and dislikes socializing. However, please be rest assured. This jade pendant is important to her. So, as long as I explain to her that Miss Jordan found it, she will definitely meet the both of you."
After that, Mr. Jenkins took his phone to make a phone call.
Nevertheless, Clarissa was taken aback by his words and snickered.
"Did you say that this jade pendant is important to her?"
Noticing her strange expression, Mr. Jenkins stopped dialing and answered in confusion, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Nothing." Clarissa tried to calm herself down. She didn't know whether that person had bought or stolen the jade pendant, but her mother's name was engraved on it. How could it be important to her?
After all, it was not very valuable. Judging by how the owner could afford to attend Stone-gambling Event and befriend a powerful person like Mr. Jenkins, she couldn't be coming from a poor background. Thus, she must be lying!
