How could she have thought Brian was back?

This was his home, so he wouldn't ring the doorbell when he returned.

"Mr. Hughes will be away on a business trip, so he asked me to collect some personal belongings for him," Edwin explained respectfully.

Rosalynn pursed her red lips and let him in.

“Please wait for a while."

She went ahead and packed Brian's luggage and handed it over to him.

Edwin took the luggage and said, "Goodbye."

Rosalynn hesitated, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

The room fell back into silence. The clean, spacious, and once comfortable apartment now seemed to suffocate her for no apparent reason.

She pressed a hand to her chest. However, she soon continued to pack her things before she went back to her apartment.

It had the same layout and the same eerie quietness, making her feel lonely.

In the past, she had lived alone and had never been sentimental. Why was everything different now?

Rosalynn put her belongings down and went to the kitchen to boil some water.

Looking at the clean floor, she picked up her cleaning tools and began cleaning the house.

It felt Like the only way she could keep herself occupied.

After finishing the bedroom, she moved on to the study and started dusting the bookcase and desk.

As she wiped down one corner of the desk, she suddenly stopped.

A thought crossed her mind, and she slowly opened the desk's last drawer.

This was where she had placed her jade pendant before.

She hadn't worn it since she took it back from Eleanor, fearing that Brian might find out something.

However, Rosalynn opened the drawer only to find it empty.

Where on earth was her jade pendant?
