Chapter 617


    "In fact, it isn''t necessary to get Old Madam''s approval. We just have to get hold of the treasure.


    Vivian can''t recognize anyone anymore. So, this is our best chance. Finders keepers. Not many


    people know about the treasure, not even Madam Marissa or Mr. Trevor. You just have to think of a


    way to get hold of the treasure. Then, who is it to say that you can''t keep it as your own?" Letty


    persuaded. She noticed that Liya was a little dejected, and her persuasion made Liya nod in


    agreement.


    "You did well today, and I''m d you came to me. How about this? You''ll follow me, and I''ll offer you


    benefits when I stand firm one day." Liya was delighted to get this information, hence she made an


    offer to Letty.


    Upon hearing this, Letty seemed overjoyed as well. She smiled widely and thanked her repeatedly.


    "By the way, do you have any idea where the treasure is kept?" Liya immediately asked as she


    thought of the question.


    "I don''t know about this, but I assume that it''s with Vivian. It''s with her all this while. So, it will only


    make sense if she keeps it near her ce," Letty said after a round of thoughts.


    "It should be at Vivian''s ce." Liya thought to herself. Wasn''t that obvious? However, Letty was


    just a maid. Liya shouldn''t expect her to know that. Thus, she said, "That''s okay then. Juste to


    me if there''s anything."


    "Sure, Mrs. Richards," Letty called out affectionately before leaving with a smile.


    "Miss Yates? I''m Letty," Letty found a quiet corner before making a phone call. She lowered her


    voice to a whisper and said, "I''ve already told Liya about the treasure today. I think she''ll make a


    move soon."


    "Great," Zoe said. She had been resting on her bed ever since her miscarriage. As soon as she


    received the news, she smiled sinisterly and said, "Keep an eye on her from today onwards. Once


    she gets the treasure, do whatever you need to snatch it over, even if it means you have to kill her."


    Rage built in her eyes. Zoe gritted her teeth in anger as she was reminded of the night she was


    schemed by Liya.


    "Don''t worry, Miss Yates. No one likes her in Richards Manor. Even if I were to make my move on


    her in public, no one will stand up for her," Letty said with a smug look.


    "Great." Zoe nodded and said, "You will be of her service before she gets the treasure. After all,


    she''s the only one who can enter Vivian''s bedroom."


    "Sure. I will have to hang up first. Someone else ising." Letty hung up the phone in a hurry as


    she heard footsteps approaching.


    Zoe smiled sinisterly and made another call after pondering for a moment. "Libby, send someone


    to keep an eye on Liya whenever she''s out. Let me know immediately if there''s anything."


    After the two phone calls, it seemed as if the hatred Zoe had towards Liya finally lessened a little.


    She sighed as she shut her eyes.


    Meanwhile, Liya was in high spirits after learning about the ''Ocean Heart''. Before this, she was still


    finding ways to milk the benefits during her stay in Richards Manor. She knew that her days were


    numbered, and she would have to leave without getting anything in return. However, now that she


    knew about the treasure, she wouldn''t need Hansen anymore once she got hold of it. She could be


    rich on her own. Moreover, with Vivian''s will backing her up, it was her right to get hold of the


    treasure.


    Thinking of that, Liyay down happily in bed. Her mood improved, and she fell asleep without her


    realizing it. Recently, she seemed to like sleeping a lot and couldn''t get enough sleep no matter


    what.


    Later that night, Lomen returned to the Ink Garden, and he ran into Jenna. "Lomen, where did Liya


    go today?" Jenna asked.


    "Madam, Liya went to the salon during the day and had lunch at a French restaurant. She went


    shopping after that. It was a wild round of shopping. There wasn''t anything odd," Lomen reported


    his findings in detail.


    Jenna frowned. It was only in the morning when Liya told her that she needed money, and she


    made it sound like she was struggling financially. However, why was she spendingvishly then?


    Who gave her the money to do so?


    "By the way, Madam, Liya went to a seaside vi today, and she was driving a luxury car. I saw her


    returning to the vi as if she was the hostess of the vi. I was dumbfounded. How could a woman


    like her own such things?" Lomen gasped as he was suddenly reminded of his findings that day.


    Jenna was puzzled too. If Liya owned that much assets, then why was she still trying so hard to get


    a ce in Richards Manor? Why did Liya put on such a pitiful act? Was she really that greedy? Did


    she really own all that stuff?


    On top of that, Jenna was also concerned about Liya''s huge transformation when they finally met


    again.


    "Lomen, please investigate what Liya did after leaving Richards Manor and if she owned the vi


    and the car you mentioned. If yes, then who bought them for her? Like what she told me earlier, she


    hadn''t been working for months and was not paid at all." Jenna immediately gave out orders as she


    thought of these questions.


    Lomen pondered for a while before nodding.


    After Lomen left, Jenna was still not at ease. Everything about Liya was too weird. She was


    obviouslyzy and penniless. So, how could she afford to own a vi?


    Trevor and Hansen had each given Liya a piece of expensive jewelry back at their wedding. Could it


    be that she sold the jewelry and got rich?


    Jenna couldn''t confirm that, and she didn''t dare to make assumptions either. She could only wait for


    Lomen''s investigation for the time being.


    The night was murmuring, leaving behind a sense of loneliness in the air.


    It had been two days since Hansen left for Capital City. She wasn''t aware of the situation over there.


    Hansen would only tell her the good news. She wouldn''t get to know about the actual situation if


    she asked him.


    Now that every useful person in the Richards family was already put to use, Jenna couldn''t get hold


    of his situation.


    She sighed lightly and headed back to her bedroom with a heavy heart.


    It had been peaceful for Sabrina in the past few days. However, without knowing why, General Delia


    stopped calling her to ask her to return. He also no longer brought up the marriage with Sergio


    anymore.


    Sabrina was once again back to her optimistic self. She was happy and carefree. However, with


    Liya wandering around in Richards Manor, Sabrina was annoyed at her sight. She had to find an


    opportunity to get rid of Liya. That was the only thing that irritated her recently.


    Sabrina couldn''t understand Trevor''s and Hansen''s intention of allowing Liya to move into the Ink


    Garden. Were they trying to tarnish the reputation of the Ink Garden?


    Coming out of the shower, Sabrina hummed a song while drying her hair with a towel. Her cheeks


    were flushed.


    The old-fashioned chandelier lighted up the entire room with the zing white light.


    After drying one side of her hair, Sabrina started drying the other side.


    It was at that moment that she let out a high-pitched scream. She looked up and saw a tall figure


    leaning by the door frame with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his face.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Who are you? Sabrina shouted with her widened eyes.


    "Sabrina, it''s me," Norton replied with azy tone and a pursed smile.


    "What are you doing here?" Sabrina asked. She blinked her eyes, and once she confirmed that it


    was indeed Norton, she was in a panic as she threw her towel away before covering her chest with


    her arms.


    D*mn it. Sabrina was wearing ace skirt aftering out from a shower. She didn''t even wear a


    bra inside. She did not expect a man to appear in her room. Moreover, his gaze was roaming all


    over her body.


    That was too much.


    Sabrina hurriedly turned around and ran back to the bathroom with her heart pounding. She stared


    at her reflection in the stone mirror. She was actually blushing.


    But why?


    It had been so long since she felt so overwhelmed with those emotions. It took her a long while to


    calm down finally. She got changed and stayed inside for a little while more. This d*mn Norton. Had


    he left yet? She didn''t want to go out and face him.


    "Sabrina, can youe out now?" Norton said just as Sabrina was contemting whether or not


    she should head out.


    Sabrina''s cheeks were even more flushed upon hearing that. It seemed as if Norton was standing


    outside the bathroom.


    "Norton, how can you enter my bedroom like this?" Sabrina sounded slightly annoyed from inside


    the bathroom.


    Norton was standing by the bathroom. The corner of his mouth twitched a little as he heard her


    words.


    "Am I not allowed to look for you for something?" Norton sounded a little helpless. "Pleasee out


    already. I need to tell you something."


    "You can look for me tomorrow. Why did you have to break into my bedroom?" Sabrina asked with


    frustration as she opened the door to the bathroom.


    "I have to tell you now, or else I''ll forget about it by tomorrow." Norton smiled casually. It was as if he


    wasn''t bothered by her frustration.


    Sabrina could only re at him helplessly.


    "Let me ask you, how did you get in here? You can''t do this again, or else I''ll tell Uncle Trevor."


    Norton shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands. He said in an aggrieved tone, "I got in


    through the door. I''ve called out to you so many times, but you didn''t answer. So, I just pushed the


    door open."


    "Through the door?" Sabrina gasped. She remembered clearly that she locked the door, and it was


    an auto-lock. So, how did he open the door?


    With that in mind, she nced at Norton in doubt.
