The woman continued to call her a "young woman".
They seemed to be in a hurry, and they wanted to stay there. But there was one thing that made the old man confused. The woman claimed that they had no money at the time and that they had to wait until the next afternoon before someone could send them money. Therefore, they asked the old man not to worry about it.
But the old man had long since managed this hotel. He is an experienced veteran in the game of life.
How would he compromise?
Realizing that they had failed to persuade him, the beautiful woman carrying the baby took out a jade pendant and handed it to the old man.
Fortunately, the old man was a fan of antiques. As he looked at the jade pendant, he immediately knew that it was an expensive item.
He saw a name—Xara engraved on the jade pendant clearly.
He slowly realized that they might have special origins.
Hence, he did not dare to offend them.
He agreed to let them stay there.
Barry said that the old man had described the incident very clearly yesterday. That very night, he even contacted some of his friends after he got the jade pendant. He had no intention of returning it to the duo.
But his friends reminded him that it would be best if he did not do such a thing towards the owner of that extremely precious and beautiful jade pendant.
Only after hearing that did the old man decide to forget about it.
After that, he waited until two o'clock the next day.
As expected, a young man arrived.
He brought a lot of money for Xara.
It was also at the same time Xara took her pendant. Then, the two women left the hotel together.
It did not occur to the old man that after seven days, the woman would return to her hotel.
Only this time, the beauty who was holding the baby did not come.
The one who came was the woman standing beside the beauty.
The old man was surprised to see it.
Seven days ago, the woman still had a hint of redness on her face. But now, he was extremely thin, and his face was pale. He looks like a ghost.
He also inquired about a place called Howard County from the old man.
The old man must know where it is. After all, her daughter-in-law's house was in Howard County.
He nodded a little.
The woman gave the old man a lot of money. Coming the next morning, the old man sent him to Howard County himself.
On the way there, he asked her about what she was doing. He claimed that he went there to seek refuge with a relative.
The old man then sent her to his relative's house.
And that's why the woman paid him about fifteen thousand dollars to thank him.
Fifteen thousand dollars is not a small amount.
The old man probably remembered the incident well because of this.
He was able to recall every detail of the incident.
As for the jade pendant that Barry showed her, she confirmed that it was the jade pendant that the beauty gave her 2 decades ago.
How could he possibly forget that?
"Trs. Crawford, he told us the address of the relative of the housekeeper where he went to seek shelter. I sent some people to investigate last night. But the family had moved away, and their home had long been demolished. But don't worry, I can guarantee that we will be able to find where the family is in a day!”
said Barry.
Gerald nodded small. "Trs. Zartyr, I'll leave this to you then. ”
Frankly, Gerald had faith in Barry that he would be able to handle this investigation well.
Gerald feels that he is now one step closer to finding where Xara is. Eventually, he was able to find where Queta's birth mother was.
But he also needs to know more about the incident. What kind of relationship does Xara have with her father?
"Trs. Crawford, there's been another incident. I don't know why you're looking for Xara, and I don't know about what she has but there's something I have to tell you.
Suddenly, Barry's expression turned serious.
"What's that?"
