Lottie held the phone tightly.

She had never expected that the jade pendant that Arthur had given her back then was now in Kevin's hands!

But...

She took a deep breath. "Mr. Green, how can I know if you are lying to me?"

"I remember that that jade pendant was lost before I went to the Green's villa last time."

"And you tell me that I lost it there last time?"

Kevin sneered. "Don't care when you lost it. Anyway, this jade pendant must be very important to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lottie received a photo from him.

In the photo, it was indeed the jade pendant that Arthur gave her last time!

Lottie felt anxious.

She lowered her voice. "What do you want?"

"What do you think?"

Kevin said coldly. "It's so late. Claudia was taken to the police station."

"She can’t stay at the police station."

"I want her to come back."

Lottie bit her lip, looked up at Ralph in front of her, and pressed the speaker button.

Kevin's proud and arrogant voice echoed in the corridor.

"Lottie, I'm not threatening you. But the jade pendant is in my hands now. It's mine."

"If you don't do as I say, I won't give it to you."

"It is said that this jade pendant has something to do with your mother whom you have never seen before."

"Moreover, what if I break it by accident for the worry of Claudia..."

"Break it."

Before he could finish his words, Ralph said coldly, "Mr. Green, I suggest you break the jade pendant now."

Lottie was stunned and looked at Ralph in disbelief.

Ralph snatched the phone from her hand.

He said in a cold and sarcastic tone. "Mr. Green, listen. The only one thing that your whole family can threaten Lottie might be this jade pendant, right?"

"Then why don't you break it? You can't threaten us any longer. We can make Claudia suffer what she deserves."

Kevin was silent on the other end of the phone.

Indeed, the only thing left in his hands that could make her compromise was the jade pendant.

Although he threatened to break the jade pendant, it was impossible for him.

It was a threat, but Ralph ruthlessly exposed it.

"If I were you."

Seeing that Kevin didn't speak, Ralph continued, "I would try my best to please Lottie and come up with a most valuable thing to exchange with her. I won't ask her to exchange the broken jade pendant with a peaceful night that Claudia could sleep well at.copy right hot novel pub
