Chapter 9: The Lost Necklace
"Didn't you hear my dad telling you to get lost?" At the side, Branden Campbell's anger hadn't subsided, and he raised his fist, about to punch Aaron Duncan again!
Aaron Duncan hurriedly got up, straightened his clothes, glanced at the family in front of him, and then very unwillingly said, "You'll regret this!"
He didn't believe that the Campbell family would dare to offend the Duncan family!
As soon as his words fell, he turned around and left.
...
Seeing Aaron Duncan leave, Michelle Campbell slowly calmed down and stopped crying.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her hand and looked at her father in surprise.
He was actually willing to offend the Duncan family for her sake...
"Michelle, what the hell happened today?" At this moment, Branden Campbell hurried over and asked his sister with concern.
Michelle sniffed and told them the truth, omitting some details, such as the part where she was kissed...
She just said she begged the other party and finally, they let her go.
Branden was very angry after hearing this and wanted to confront Aaron Duncan, but their mother stopped him, saying that since Michelle was fine, he should let it go. So he gave up.
Just as the commotion had settled down, a phone call came in from Aaron Duncan's father, the chairman of Duncan Group.
Although Chris Campbell explained the situation to the other party, his attitude towards canceling the engagement was resolute, which ultimately annoyed them!
"Since you Campbells are so disrespectful to me, don't blame us for being ruthless, Chris Campbell, you'd better not regret begging me later!" After saying that, the phone was hung up.
There was silence in the room, and Michelle's father didn't speak, only chain-smoking...
"Dad, it's all my fault..." Michelle lowered her head, suddenly feeling a bit guilty, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.
But it was indeed because of her that their family fell out with the Duncan family!
"We weren't too keen on this engagement from the beginning, so it's good that it's broken now!' Chris Campbell sighed, then suddenly comforted Michelle.
"That's right, I don't believe that the Duncan family can really cover the sky with one hand in City A and do anything to us!" Branden said angrily, having had enough of the Duncans!
"It's getting late, you all go back and rest!" Chris nodded, then said to his children and wife.
That night, Michelle couldn't sleep at all.
She kept thinking about how the Duncan family would retaliate against the Campbells...
Unable to sleep, she got up, turned on her computer, and decided to go online for a while.
She received a few new emails in her inbox and quickly opened them.
Michelle excitedly opened the email, but the content made her disappointed.
It turned out to be spam. She had thought that her lost necklace had been found...
Three years ago, she had lost an important necklace, handcrafted for her by her late grandmother with her name engraved on it. It was incredibly precious to her.
However, over the years, she had posted several advertisements and left her email address, hoping to find the person who had taken her necklace and hoping they would return it to her.
But it had been three years and she hadn't found that person.
She sighed, disappointed, and turned off the computer.
Afterward, she opened her jewelry box and took out the heavy gold necklace...
