Chapter 1264: 1260

"What’s the matter, at a loss for words?"Louis Lawrence paid no regard to his flustered state, his smile growing increasingly audacious and nasty.

Vivian Thornecroft’s heart raced a bit faster. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anna and I have been engaged since we were children. Bella is at most a sister to me. Besides, I’m really not familiar with her."

Vivian Thornecroft was still maintaining her composure.

Louis Lawrence, however, chuckled aloud, about to say something else, but then his gaze shifted, landing on Mason Bennett, who looked even more ashen-faced than Vivian Thornecroft.

He arched a brow.

Almost forgot, his brother-in-law was still here.

No doubt even he isn’t very clear about these affairs, right?

Louis Lawrence touched the tip of his nose, suddenly feeling a bit innocent.

"Not familiar?"

Louis Lawrence laughed, stood up, approached Vivian Thornecroft, bending slightly, getting closer.

The curve at the corner of his mouth turned even more enigmatic and playful.

"Then how do you explain the necklace around your neck?"

With a single sentence, Vivian Thornecroft’s mind exploded.

Her entire body went rigid, and the blood in her veins seemed to flow backward, paling her face several shades.

This was her biggest secret.

No one knows...

Except Bella Green, no one could possibly know!

Perhaps her adoptive parents, but they’ve already been locked up.

How could it be!!

Louis Lawrence, just who is he!

"What necklace?" The elder Mr. Lawrence faintly perceived a hint of something fishy and asked suspiciously.

Vivian Thornecroft bit her teeth tightly, standing there, her gaze fixed on Louis Lawrence as if she wanted to tear him apart.

"It’s, it’s the necklace I gave him!"

A female voice suddenly interjected.

Perhaps due to excitement, the voice pitched several tones higher, startling everyone in the living room.

Following the voice, they saw Anna Green, looking somewhat pale, dashing down from the staircase, rushing directly to Vivian Thornecroft’s side, grabbing her hand.

"Grandpa, it’s nothing important, just a little gift I gave to Vivian."

The sudden presence of the woman caused the atmosphere in the living room to shift suddenly.

Vivian Thornecroft’s tensed heart slightly relaxed, yet it was still on edge.

She had a foreboding feeling that some matters might become unbearable today...

Thinking of this, her face turned as dark as water, staring at Louis Lawrence.

All past masks and disguises, at this moment, entirely shattered.

Anna Green, however, was unaware of the situation, and what that so-called necklace really was.

She had overheard quite a bit upstairs just now.

She knew Vivian Thornecroft had a necklace.

He had it since the day she met him.

She had once wanted to see it, even wanted to replace it with a couple’s necklace.

But Vivian Thornecroft refused, she couldn’t even touch it.

That necklace was a point of contention for her.

But she never imagined that the necklace was actually given to him by Bella Green!

She was angry, unwilling, but at that moment, she could do nothing but cover up Vivian Thornecroft’s lie, not even able to reproach...

Upon hearing Anna Green’s words, the elder Mr. Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let this matter rest for now, and we’ll have the police investigate later."

The elder Mr. Lawrence said wearily.

Today’s fiasco had drained his energy.

Especially since his grandson might still be the perpetrator against his granddaughter.

He now only hoped that it was just a misunderstanding.

If their Lawrence Family produced someone who would harm his seniors and juniors, he would not rest easy even in death...

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps echoed from outside the door, accompanied by a graceful female voice.

"What necklace? What are you all talking about?"

Ariana spoke with an elegant and poised smile, her voice leisurely as she inquired.
