Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 534: Chapter 537: Discovering the “Citrine Necklace” (1)

Since Hannah Ford was restless and couldn’t sleep, she left her room.

Today, after being scolded by Mrs. Holbrook, the servants were either in their rooms or downstairs, and no one noticed Hannah wandering around the corridor upstairs.

She looked around and found the corridor empty.

She couldn’t help but look towards the room at the end of the hallway.

It was Aidan Lucas’s bedroom.

Once, it had been the ‘love nest’ for him and Lily Gray.

Jealousy flickered in Hannah’s eyes, and the angrier she grew looking at the closed door, the deeper her envy became.

That room should have been hers!

But it had been taken by Lily Gray.

As Hannah’s emotions overtook her, the next thing she knew, she was standing inside the master bedroom.

The door was unlocked, and she walked right in!

Hannah hesitated, knowing that sneaking in was not to her advantage.

She was used to appearing weak and helpless.

Her innocent demeanor, which always seemed in need of protection, was her camouflage.

She should have immediately left and pretended she had never entered, which would be in line with the image she usually displayed to outsiders.

But for some reason, driven by a woman’s most basic jealousy,

When she saw the king-size bed she had long fantasized about,

And the low-key, luxurious decorations and furnishings in the room,

Her deepest jealousy was ignited.

Hannah didn’t know what had come over her.

She followed her obsession, examining the entire room.

Touching this, bumping into that, if she wasn’t afraid of Aidan finding out, she would have stripped naked and rolled around in the blanket.

She wanted her body to be infused with Aidan’s scent.

Standing by the bed, Hannah looked at the luxurious bedroom, her eyes filled with greedy desire.

Her gaze fell on Lily Gray’s dressing table.

On it, there were numerous bottles and containers, all of the highest-end skincare brands.

And a jewelry box placed casually to the side.

She couldn’t help but walk over and open the jewelry box.

At a glance, she could tell that all the jewelry inside was valuable.

Moreover, she knew that these were just the tip of the iceberg.

As Mrs. Lucas, Lily Gray must have owned even more…

Almost as if possessed, Hannah opened the drawers of the dressing table, wanting to see just how extravagant Lily Gray’s noblewoman life was.

As the drawer was opened, a crystal necklace with a yellow glow appeared before her eyes.

Hannah couldn’t help but blurt out,

“Citrine necklace—”

After saying it, she immediately came to her senses and covered her mouth in panic.

With trembling fingers, she picked up the citrine necklace from the drawer.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

She examined it countless times, back and forth.

It really was that citrine necklace — the one she found as a child in the orphanage and proudly wore around her neck, showing off to everyone!

Hannah’s thoughts drifted back to her time at the orphanage.

Due to her vanity, she told people it was a token left by her mother, a symbol that would help her find her family in the future.

The other children at the orphanage believed her.

When they saw the shiny citrine necklace, they thought she was a rich person’s daughter.

She was just a lost child…

From then on, the people who used to bully her stopped.

Some even tried to flatter her, asking her not to forget about them when she found her family in the future.
