Chapter 639
The man on the other end of the phone was none other than Benjamin Walker, a trusted lieutenant in the underworld of Imperium, who worked under a prominent figure.
The news about Benjamin’s boss searching for jewels had been overheard by Lily during a shopping trip with her female friends.
She didn’t want to contact Benjamin directly, but there was very little information available about his boss.
Even after spending a lot of money, she only managed to obtain Benjamin’s phone number.
Fearful that Benjamin would find out that Harriet was the one who had found the exceptional jewel, and out of concern for Harriet’s status as Arthur and Levi’s sister, Lily had concealed the name of the person who had found the exceptional jewel when she spoke to Benjamin.
Upon hearing Lily’s words, Benjamin on the other end of the line became instantly anxious, followed by an uncontrollable sense of joy and excitement.
“What do you mean by this? We are law-abiding citizens. How could we possibly engage in robbery?”
Lily was speechless at Benjamin’s words.
She didn’t ask them to engage in robbery.
Wasn’t this a case of protesting too much?
Although she was exasperated, Lily still quickly added, “Someone has targeted the person who found the exceptional jewel. If you don’t act now, someone else will beat you to it!”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin couldn’t sit still.
After expressing his thanks, he quickly hung up the phone.
Even through the phone, Lily could feel Benjamin’s anxiety.
Seeing Benjamin, as she had expected, preparing to snatch the jewelsite from Harriet’s hands filled Lily with glee.
Although this plan wouldn’t cause as much substantial harm to Harriet as the previous one, it would certainly lead to Benjamin taking harsh action against Harriet while competing for the jewel. In the end, Harriet would suffer just as much as she had.
The thought of Harriet being beaten and bloodied, looking even more wretched than herself, filled Lily with satisfaction.
Benjamin and a few of his men were currently hiding in the shadows of the underground parking garage, unseen by Harriet and Delbert.
When Benjamin saw Harriet approaching, he became visibly excited.
The bag carried by the man beside this young woman definitely contained the exceptional jewel that Lily had mentioned.
As long as he could get his hands on this jewel, he could have anything he wanted!
Money, reputation, prestige, or status-everything depended on this exceptional jewel!
He had also inquired with the woman who had provided him with information.
The two people before him were just ordinary people with relatively good luck and no background.
Even if they were robbed of the exceptional jewel, they wouldn’t dare to do anything about it.
However, just as Benjamin was about to make his move, he was caught off guard by an unexpected interruption.
Harriet took Delbert’s hand and walked towards the car they had come in.
When they reached the car, Harriet’s lips curved into a sly and sweet smile.
As Delbert walked to the driver’s seat and prepared to open the door, Harriet suddenly lifted her leg and pushed Delbert against the car, resting her heel on his shoulder.
She deliberately lowered her voice and imitated Delbert’s previous teasing manner, speaking softly, “Darling, did I look handsome after slapping Lily today and consecutively revealing over a dozen precious jewels?”
