Chapter 457 The Thirty-carat Diamond Ne


    "I don''t mind being Charles''s mistress as long as I can win his heart."


    Leo was heartbroken the moment she said that. Sophia was his girlfriend when they were still students


    in university. He had no idea how she had changed from a pure and lovelydy to a crazy and


    shameless woman. She had be this immoral and brash that she had the audacity to say that she


    was willing to be a mistress of a married man.


    Perhaps, she would finally give up on Charles after she would have a try to pursue him, or perhaps she


    woulde back to him after her entertainment career was destroyed. These thoughts ran through


    Leo''s mind.


    If she were to be an ordinary person again, she might not have any ambitious goals anymore. By


    then, they might be able to be together once again.


    Leo felt better at the thought of this. He then said, "Okay. I will give it to you after we arrive at the hotel


    there."


    Sophia nodded. She took ast drag on her cigarette before throwing the butt out of the car window.


    After that, she leaned against the window to have a rest. She was feeling a bit sleepy.


    While looking at Sophia''s attractive sleeping face, Leo felt very much in agony. Today, he might have to


    let the woman he loved sleep with another man.

    He felt greatly distressed. It was as if his heart had been pierced by thousands of arrows.


    After they had arrived at the hotel, Sophia couldn''t wait to asked Leo for the aphrodisiac.


    "Where''s the drug? Give it to me now."


    Leo gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you in such a rush?"


    "What do you mean by that? Give it to me right now, " said Sophia.


    Then, Leo turned around, took a small bottle of drug from his luggage, and handed it to Sophia. "This


    drug is very powerful. You shouldn''t use too much at a time. Otherwise, you wouldn''t be able to bear


    the effect."


    "I n to let Charles take this drug. I won''t take it, so what do you mean by I won''t be able to bear the


    effect?"


    Leo was stunned by her words. He didn''t expect that Sophia would ask him such question.


    When a man, who would take this drug inrge quantities, had sex with a woman, that woman would


    surely suffer pain.


    But before Leo exined it to her, Sophia realized what he had meant given to the fact that she was


    holding a bottle of aphrodisiac. She blushed and cast a nce at him, without saying anything.


    "What time will the jewelry auction start?" Sophia immediately changed the topic.


    "It will start at 8:00 PM tonight, but the cocktail party will start at 6:00 PM. The call time is at 5:30 PM


    for the rehearsal. You have to check if the sound equipment is working all right."


    "Okay, I see. Ask the make-up artist to help me put on make-up at 3:00 PM. I''m feeling a bit tired, and I


    want to sleep for a while before that." Sophia waved her hand andy down on the bed.


    Leo shook his head and helped her unfold the quilt quickly. After he tucked Sophia in, he left the room.


    He woulde by with the make-up artist at 3:00 PM to wake her up and help her prepare for the


    event.


    Sophia was sleeping while Charles was busy with his work. Someone brought him some of the pieces


    which would be sold at the auction. There were three items that he found stunning among all of them.


    One of them was a thirty-carat diamond ne. It was called Lin-Cha. It was a lovely and special


    work of art. The name had ''Lin'' and ''Cha'' in it, and right then and there Charles knew that it was a


    brilliant piece. Coincidentally, ''Lin'' happened to be the first three letters of the name Linda, while ''Cha''


    was the first three letters of the name Charles. Charles really wanted to buy it and give it to Linda as


    the wedding gift. He also knew that it was not easy to be a new mother, and so he was grateful to her.


    He joined the auction just to get that diamond ne. Otherwise, he would never attend such a


    boring auction. He had made up his mind to try his best to get the ne which would mean a lot to


    them as a couple.


    He wanted to personally acquire it, no matter what it took, and give it to Linda.


    It was not easy to be pregnant with twins for almost a year and she totally deserved the ne!


    Before the auction, while dealing with thepany''s affairs, Charles asked Paul, "Oh right. Have you


    figured out where Vincent is? We have been looking for him for a long time."


    Paul nodded and replied, "I have found some clues, and he seems to be in touch with Lisa."


    Charles felt confused, so he continued asking, "What does he have to do with Lisa? And how about


    Lisa? Do you know her whereabouts?"


    "Yes. We found out that someone pretended to be Lady Linda and went to the jail to visit May, so we


    followed up on this lead and continued investigating her. Then, we found out that Lisa is living at the


    Huo n''s house."


    Now, Charles had no intentions to punish Lisa because he didn''t want Linda to bother with this matter


    during her pregnancy. After Linda would give birth to their children, Charles would go to the Huo n''s


    house and take Lisa away, especially since she had the same face as Linda''s now.


    Charles didn''t believe that Robert had been keeping Lisa by his side just because he liked her.


    Perhaps, he was willing to stay with Lisa only because she looked like Linda. Charles had no idea if


    Robert knew that the woman who was staying with him was not the real Linda at all. Anyway, Charles


    decided to ask his men to take Lisa from the Huo n and force Lisa to have a cosmetic surgery to


    have her face changed back to how she looked like before.


    It was inappropriate for Lisa, who had the same face as Linda''s, to stay with Robert under this guise.


    Did Lisa want Robert to treat her as Linda and fall in love with her?


    Charles wouldn''t tolerate that. Also, he had no idea what Lisa and Robert had done during their time


    together. He wasn''t interested in it, but he would never let other men take advantage of a woman with


    his wife''s face. It disgusted him.


    "Lisa has been staying at the Huo n''s house, but she has not taken any actions against Lady Linda.


    Our men who monitored her found that she went to your and Lady Linda''s wedding, but she didn''t enter


    the venue. Instead, she went away and looked for May. Through the surveince video, we also saw


    that a mysterious man also met May, but no one knew of his identity because he hid himself from the


    surveince camera. From the video, we could only see a man, wearing ck clothes and a cap,


    entering anding out of the jail."


    "And then? Did you keep a close watch on this guy?"


    "Yes, but we lost him. He disappeared and never showed up again."


    "That''s why we cannot make sure if he is Vincent and if Vincent is still alive. We don''t have any leads


    on him."


    This was the only information about Vincent, and Charles didn''t think about it too much. He then said,


    "Just put this matter aside for now, and tell me more about Lisa."


    "Some time ago, she seemed to have traveled to Maldives along with Robert. They spent three months


    there and only came back a couple of days ago."


    "I see. You can leave now. Pay close attention to today''s auction. No matter how much it costs, we


    must get the thirty-carat diamond ne. I will give it to Linda as a gift."


    Paul nodded and said, "Please be at ease, Young Master. Everything is ready, and I have informed the


    others to make way for you and not bid for it. I assure you that you will have it at the end of the day and


    that you will be very happy the moment you would sessfully obtain it. The diamond ne is


    called Lin-Cha, and I think it suits Lady Linda very much."
