They all turned to look at Clarissa, whom he was pointing at.
Embarrassed, Clarissa cleared her throat and asked, "So, that thing is really on your great-granddaughter, Lily, isn't it?"
Mr. Gill's countenance, which had been beaming with delight, darkened at the mention of Lily.
He sighed.
"Yeah. I didn't give it to her. She took it away secretly."
Hearing this, Clarissa was stunned and a little confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hmph, what do I mean?" Mr. Gill scoffed, "What else do you think? That nefarious girl is ungrateful. I raised her and expected to be able to rely on her for the rest of my life. But I wasn't expecting her to flee with a man. She not only fled, but she also took a large sum of money with her. She should have taken the jade as well. So, if you're in a hurry to find it, don't bother me. Just go to find her. If you find it, it's yours; if not, it's your loss."
