Chapter 465 Something's Wrong With the Jewelry

"His objective is unclear as of now. Not only did he take out loans from the black market, but he also mortgaged his real estate assets at the bank."

"It seems like he's gunning for something big."

"Ms. Lewis, is it possible that his actions are targeted at us?"

"Pay close attention to everything he does for now and report to me if anything happens."

"Yes, Ms. Lewis."

Luke had just taken two steps toward the door before Grace called after him, "By the way, is there anything on Caleb's schedule today?"

"Byte Technologies is hosting a large-scale outdoor event today in Times Mall at South Road. All the artists in our company will be attending it."

"Oh," Grace said. So that was why she hadn't seen Caleb since the morning. "Got it. You can leave."

"Sure, Ms. Lewis."

After Luke left, Grace continued with her work. A while later, her personal phone rang.

"Grace, do you know where the event Caleb will go to is held?" Lydia sounded anxious on the other end of the phone.

Grace was surprised. "Why? What's wrong?"

Lydia quickly said, "Our assistant made a mistake while being swamped with work and picked out the wrong jewelry for the event. The items that were taken to the venue are new, and the designs

haven't been publicized yet.

"We signed a contract pertaining to these new designs, and they shouldn't be shown in public before the first day of their sale.

"What makes this worse is that I can't reach the assistant because her phone is switched off. Caleb's manager isn't answering our calls either."

That was why she called Grace out of desperation.

Grace quickly reassured Lydia, saying, "Don't worry. Caleb and the other artists are in Times Mall at South Road. You should be able to catch them if you head over there now. I'll try to contact them too."

"Okay, I'll head over there now."

After the call ended, Grace called Caleb's personal phone. However, no one picked up, even though Grace had called several times.

Grace was surprised. Caleb had his personal phone with him at all times. Even when he was attending an event, his phone would be with his manager, so he rarely missed calls.

What on Earth was happening today?

…

At the same time, in a private dressing room backstage, Caleb had already gotten ready and was about to head to the waiting area.

His manager inspected him up and down before saying, "Where's your necklace, Caleb?"

Caleb touched his neck instinctively. Nothing was there. He asked, "Has the organizer not sent over the jewelry yet?"

His manager patted his forehead. "I'm so forgetful. I'll contact them now. Wait for me here."

Caleb gave an affirmative reply and sat down again as his manager left to make a call.

At this moment, the loud noise of objects tumbling down came from next door, shocking Caleb. He got up and went outside.

He had just taken two steps when he heard Kayla's loud voice. "The people on your side are so incompetent! There's nothing wrong with the jewelry, so why can't I wear them now?"

"It's my fault, Ms. Green. I gave you the wrong items. These haven't been sold to the public yet, so they cannot be exhibited. Please remove the necklace you're wearing. The one I have now is what you're supposed to wear." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Kayla eyed the necklace the assistant was holding. Both the design and the diamond on it fell short compared to the jewelry on her neck.

"Are you trying to make a fool of me?" Kayla snatched up the necklace the assistant was holding and tossed it onto the floor.

"Do you think trash like this can measure up to me?"
