Chapter 678 The True Owner of the Ruby Without anyone reacting, the man's figure had disappeared from sight, and his black sports car shot out at lightning speed.
As Osvaldo drove, he dialed a phone number.
After a dozen seconds, the call was finally answered on the other end.
"| ask you..." accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, Osvaldo's voice was cold and chilling, "has the Turner family ever had a red ruby appear?” Patrick coughed lightly, surprised by the sudden question from the man, but still answered his question, "Yes, the previous leader of the Turner family once gave Lady Nevaeh a priceless red ruby, and it should be in Lady Selena's possession now..." Before he could finish his sentence, he sensed the man's breath tighten on the other end of the phone. "What happened?" the man's tone changed.
But Osvaldo had already hung up the phone and started dialing Selena's number.
The red ruby was a token of love given by the man of the Turner family to Lady Nevaeh. Before Lady Nevaeh died, she gave it to her daughter to wear around her neck.
It was clear that someone had beaten him to the secret.
This meant that it was very likely that someone had already determined that Selena was the daughter of the Turner family.

At the stime, Christ's car stopped outside the Jincheng Villa.
Whether it was because he had sent Isabel away or not, Christ's mood was particularly agitated today.
He walked in with a gloomy face and was about to tell the maid to pack Isabel's things when his phone in his pocket vibrated.
He looked down at the number, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
One of Osvaldo's men actually called him...
Christ had a bad feeling in his heart and answered the call.
A stiff and cold voice cfrom the other end, "Mr. Poole, my boss asked us to call and tell you that your two bodyguards died at the airport, and you should also check where your snake and scorpion are right now." After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Christ's face immediately turned terrifyingly dark, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
The other party's meaning was clear. Isabel had killed the two bodyguards he sent to protect her and had run away.
Aman like Osvaldo would never stoop to lying.
So one of them must be the one who carried out Isabel's orders.
And what really concerned him was who was helping Isabel behind the scenes! Whoever dared to kill him, he would definitely kill them! Christ turned around to leave, but heard the maid's voice behind him, "Mr. Poole, please wait!" Christ was so furious at the moment that he didn't want to hear anything about Isabel and didn't stop his footsteps.
The maid had been waiting for Christ to visit the villa, and she couldn't see his extremely ugly expression from afar. She hurriedly spoke up, "It's about the young lady you brought here last time..." The only woman he had brought to this villa was Selena! Christ stopped his steps, didn't turn around, but still patiently asked, "Speak!" The maid ran up to him, looked at the tall man's back, and felt a creepy chill rising in her heart. She trembled as she said, "It's Abigail. Before she left, she askedto tell you that the young lady who chere last twas looking for Miss Collins's necklace, but Miss Collins said she didn't take it..." "But Abigail said she saw it with her own eyes, Miss Collins took out that necklace..." By the end of her words, the maid was shaking and almost couldn't continue.
Because she saw the man in front of her slowly turning his head, his deep and sharp eyes devoid of any warmth. His calm tone was chilling as he asked one word at a time, "What kind of necklace?" Seeing his face turning pale with anger, the maid's knees weakened, and she immediately knelt down, "Mr. Poole, I'm sorry, | shouldn't have said anything. Please spare me..." The next moment, the man who was just about to leave slowly walked back, and his gaze, which looked down at her, was so cold that it pierced her heart. "Speak clearly, what necklace did that young lady cto find?" "I... I don't know... It was Abigail who told me. I'll call her right away and ask..." The maid took out her phone, trembling, and dialed a number while waiting for the other party to answer. For her, every second waiting felt like an eternity.
Although the man in front of her was indeed terrifying, having served Isabel for a long time, they knew that as long as they didn't provoke him, Christ would usually turn a blind eye to them.
He had never made things difficult for them, and was much easier to serve than Isabel. This was also the reason why the maid dared to tell Christ about this.
But the man's current expression was so frightening that it made her feel extremely fearful.

Fortunately, the phone on the other end was answered.
The voice of a young girl cthrough, "Lucy, what's wrong?" Abigail, tell Mr. Poole that the last tthe young lady cto see Miss Collins, she wanted a necklace of a certain kind..." Across the phone, the girl on the other end couldn't see Christ's expression, so she wasn't scared and immediately said, "I remember, the young lady said it was a beautiful, priceless, bright red necklace, it seemed to be called...” The maid clearly felt that after Abigail finished speaking, the man in front of her becextremely ferocious.
It was as if a demon had walked out of its cage and wanted to tear apart something's flesh and blood viciously.
The maid's breath was scared to a stop.
Christ's gaze remained fixed on the phone at the maid's feet.
The silence in the air was terrifying.
The girl on the other end wracked her brain for a while, and finally remembered, shouting loudly, "Ruby! That's right, it's ruby! The young lady askedif | had seen a ruby necklace at Miss Collins's place..." She said it was an heirloom left to her by her mother, very important. She searched up and down her house, but couldn't find it.
In the end, she went to ask Miss Collins, and Miss Collins said she didn't take it..." "But | saw it that day, when Miss Collins was on the phone, she took out a bright red ruby necklace from her neck, it was very beautiful..." The girl seemed to have finally sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and her voice lowered, "It should be the necklace that the young lady was looking for..." Selena pushed open the two pitch-black wooden doors in front of her.
The woman sitting inside the door turned around and smiled slightly at her, "You're here!"
