Chapter 571: Chapter 574: Put on the Necklace and Go to the Banquet
Upon hearing Lily Gray’s words, David Redington breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately…
He thought that the citrine necklace that Hannah Ford had was Lily Gray’s necklace.
If it was really taken by Hannah Ford…
His only option was to ask Winston to take the necklace back.
David suddenly grabbed her wrist, “Lily, listen to me, go with me now to retrieve that necklace. Ellie, I need to take Lily to a banquet. It will only delay her for a short time, and we will be back soon…”
“But…”
David suddenly let go of Lily’s hand, leaned in, and whispered a few words to Ellie.
Ellie’s expression changed slightly, and then she nodded heavily, “Alright, then I’ll entrust Lily to you, Mr. David Redington. Please take good care of the Young Lady and don’t let her get tired.”
David nodded indifferently, “Don’t worry.”
At this moment, Lily still couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened.
She had already been personally escorted by Ellie into David’s car.
The car sped toward the bank.
As Lily sat in the car, she suddenly realized a problem.
“Wait, David… how did you know what my necklace looks like? I remember that I only mentioned it to you, and I never told you it was a citrine necklace!”
David’s deep eyes darkened upon hearing this.
He didn’t expect Lily to figure out the flaw so quickly.
He glanced at Lily indifferently and said, “Because I planted a listening device in Hannah Ford’s cell phone.”
Tampering with Hannah’s cell phone during her medical check-up was too easy.
“You…” Lily didn’t expect that David had really gone to such lengths to monitor Hannah’s every move for her.
It was as if he didn’t care at all, and shrugged, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.”
“You probably heard from Diana that Hannah came back mainly for rehabilitation treatment from the Reddington Group’s medical team. The reason she is qualified to receive help from the Reddington Group is because of her relationship with me…”
“Her relationship with you? You guys are…?”
David looked deeply into Lily’s eyes, his deep blue eyes hiding a profound meaning, “We are… cousins.”
“Then why would you…” The rest of the sentence was caught in her throat.
David smiled, “You want to ask why I would help you monitor my own cousin, don’t you?”
Lily nodded.
Yes, why would he help her instead?
David laughed again, this time the laughter reached his eyes.
“The mystery will be revealed soon… Come on, Lily, go with me to the bank and get your citrine necklace.”

This year’s new president came from the Stone family.
Thus, the President naturally chose the Stone family’s Manor on the outskirts of A City as the venue for the banquet.
Before it was even dark, the Noble and luxury cars were lined up in front of the Manor.
In a room on the upper floor of the Manor, the First Lady, Mrs. Evelyn Lucas, was personally helping Hannah Ford with her dress.
“Are you sure this is what Mr. Lucas likes the most?”
Evelyn Lucas narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, examining Hannah Ford in front of her.
Dressed in a pink off-the-shoulder dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders and she even had an ostentatious ribbon tied to her head.
Evelyn Lucas couldn’t take it any longer, forgive her for being straightforward, but she was increasingly doubting her brother-in-law’s taste.
This kind of appearance was simply childish and Lolita-like; did her cheap brother have a fetish for children?
