Chapter 33 What She Needs Most Now
Jocelyn found the staff at Voltnamfan Bank. After showing the keys , they were respectfully invited in.
According to the number of the key, the bank staff opened the safe in front of Jocelyn, took out the item in it, and gave it to her.
It was a very exquisite dark purple silk box. It didn't contain the large amount of money that Jocelyn expected, nor gold bars, silver bars, diamonds, or jewelry. It was all old things left by Helena.
On the top was a picture frame. In the picture frame was a group photo of Helena when she was young, holding Jocelyn, who just turned one year old, with the gold words "Jocelyn’s first anniversary".
Seeing Helena's gentle smile again, Jocelyn burst into tears. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
That things had their associations could probably describe her mood at the moment.
Stunned for a moment, she wiped away her tears and looked down again. There were some letters below. The envelopes were yellow and old. They were all letters written by Helena. There was no title and no recipient.
Jocelyn was very confused. Helena wrote so many letters to whom? She thought.
Why hadn't they all been sent?
Jocelyn could read these letters slowly when she had time. She continued looking at things. In addition to the photo frame and old letters, she also found a platinum chain in the box. Below it was
a unique clover pendant. The front was inlaid with diamonds, and the back was engraved with the letters H&A.
H and A...
What did these two letters mean? She thought.
Could it be an abbreviation?
Her mother's name was Helena. Were H and A Helena's initials?
For a short time, Jocelyn couldn't figure out these questions. However, this necklace was the last gift left by Helena. She held it in her hand and suddenly gathered a lot of courage.
The clover symbolized good luck, which Jocelyn needed most now!
Helena must want to leave her good fortune for Jocelyn all her life. She received it and would keep it well.
Jocelyn left Voltnamfan Bank and took the contents of the safe.
Next, Jocelyn was considering whom she should find to raise funds.
She wanted to find Todd!
Anyway, he was the father of the children. If she looked for him, he would definitely help her without hesitation.
Besides, she also wanted to talk to him about her relationship with Calvin.
Jocelyn sent a text message to Todd, asking him to meet at Sapphire Cafe at noon.
She arrived at the cafe in advance, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited for Todd while drinking.
An hour later, she looked at the time on her mobile phone. She wondered if Todd didn't see the message she sent.
It was normal not to see the message. Jocelyn planned to call him, but before the phone could have been dialed, a noble woman appeared in front of her.
"Jocelyn."
As the woman spoke, she sat down in front of Jocelyn.
When Jocelyn looked up to see who was coming, she opened her mouth in surprise. "Denise?"
Denise smiled faintly and said elegantly, "Jocelyn, we haven't seen each other for years! What do you want to see Todd about? You sent the message to his private mobile phone, and it happened that his mobile phone was left at home. I saw it and came."
"Oh, Denise, I just want to talk about something with Todd."
Denise explained the reason why she came. Jocelyn was a little uncomfortable when she suddenly saw Todd's mother.
To be precise, Jocelyn had always been a little afraid of Denise. When she went to the Garner family as a child, she always felt Denise was very cold and difficult to get close to.
Moreover, Denise should not like her very much, especially since she later entered the entertainment circle. Denise despised actors.
"You can tell me directly. Do you want him to help you quell the scandal or invest in filming?" Denise asked directly.
"No, I just want to talk to Todd. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Jocelyn smiled awkwardly. She couldn't say anything about the two things she wanted to talk about with Todd.
When Jocelyn was silent, Denise said again, "Todd is an innocent. He believes in what others say. He is also very affectionate. Two years ago, a woman came to him and said that she bore him a son, but I found out that it wasn’t Todd’s son. I have experienced many such things. I also blame Todd for his simple mind. If I don't help him handle some, he will inevitably be cheated, right?"
When Denise said these words, her tone was calm, as if the elder were gossiping with the younger.
But what she said sounded a little ironic and had implications.
"I heard from Todd that you have given birth to two children, haven't you?" Denise asked, staring into Jocelyn's eyes.
"Ha ha, yes!" Jocelyn probably understood the meaning of her words just now.
"Who is your children’s father?"
Didn't Todd tell Denise that the children were his? Jocelyn thought.
Or, even if Todd said, Denise would not believe that the children were his?
After all, the paternity test had not been done yet and Jocelyn had no confidence to admit that the children were Todd’s. "I don't know yet..."
Denise suddenly held Jocelyn's hand and said, "Jocelyn, if you have any difficulties, you can directly tell me. If you feel that it is a heavy burden to raise two children by yourself, I can sponsor a sum of
money for you, just for the sake of your dead mother. But please don't go to Todd. We have performed as a matchmaker for him. If the girl knew it, it would be bad."
After Denise finished speaking, she took out a check and pushed it to Jocelyn.
Looking at this check, Jocelyn felt a pain in her chest, as if her dignity had been trampled on the ground.
She understood Denise's meaning. She didn't want her to continue pestering Todd and wanted to send her away with this check.
"Denise, please keep the check! I am not short of money! I will not find Todd again. If he has an intended wife, I will bless him!"
Jocelyn squeezed out a bitter smile, stood up, and picked up her bag. "I have something to do. Denise, goodbye."
Since Denise, Todd's mother, came to see her, Jocelyn learned that she should not let the children be with him anymore.
What was more, she had been confused about whether the children were Todd's or not. The paternity test hadn't been done. It was hard to say.
Having given up Todd, Jocelyn made an appointment with another investor who was qualified to meet at 7:30 p.m. at Club Rapture.
...
At 7:30 p.m., Jocelyn appeared at the door of Box 686 in Club Rapture on time. There were bodyguards and only Jocelyn was allowed to go in and talk.
Jocelyn could only ask Marcus to wait for her outside. If the negotiation went well, she should not take too long.
