Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 333: That Jade Pendant Has Become So Uncanny

Hearing his words, as if he knew the whereabouts of the jade pendant, May Morgan quickly nodded and said, ’Yes, the white jade pendant carved with a dragon pattern, have you seen it?’

’You mean... white?’ Adam Owens asked, his brows furrowing even tighter with doubt. He feared he might have misunderstood, so he asked again, ’May, I don’t know if it’s the jade pendant you’re talking about. I do have a dragon-shaped jade pendant, but it’s not white.’

Hmm?

May was taken aback, sensing something amiss: ’Not white? Then what color is it?’

The jade pendant was in Adam’s pocket. He took it out, glanced at it, and then replied to May, ’It’s a strange color, half blood-red and half black, like a combination of blood jade and ink jade.’

May found his description increasingly eerie. How could there be such a strange jade pendant? Was it really the one she wanted?

’How did you get that jade pendant?’

’It was taken from Vincent Vance’s clothes by a doctor, along with a wooden amulet whose purpose I’m unsure of. This jade pendant was also taken from him. But since he’s in a coma, the doctor gave it to me for safekeeping.’

The jade pendant was with Vincent? That means it’s very likely the pendant she’s looking for, but... the color doesn’t match.

’Adam, could you take some photos of that jade pendant and send them to me? I want to take a look.’ The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. May quickly instructed Adam to send her the photos.

’Sure, just wait!’ Adam agreed and quickly hung up the phone, taking several photos of the jade pendant from different angles and sending them to May’s phone.

May stared at the photos on her phone, feeling a chill in her heart.

The jade pendant was undoubtedly the one she was looking for. It had accompanied her for nearly twenty years; she was too familiar with it. One glance, and she knew it was the right one. But having had this jade pendant for twenty years, it was the first time she’d known it could change colors.

And such ominous colors, too.

The blood-like red and soul-swallowing black were terrifying even through the screen, causing cold sweat to break out.

’So? Is it the one you want?’ Adam waited for a while before calling May to ask.

May hesitated for a moment, then nodded, ’Yes, it’s the one I want. Adam, could you bring the jade pendant to me early tomorrow morning? I need it.’

’Okay, I’ll deliver it to you first thing tomorrow morning!’ Adam glanced cautiously at Maxwell Vance’s ward before saying.

Actually, he wanted to deliver it now, but Maxwell had some stomach discomfort during the day. It took the doctor a long time to settle her down, and he feared leaving now would upset her again.

So tomorrow morning, he’ll find an excuse to leave. Hopefully, it won’t be too late.

After hanging up with Adam, May turned to give the phone back to Miller and went to the next room to rest. But lying in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep, worrying about Vincent, that dream, and the suddenly eerie-colored jade pendant.

She knew the jade pendant could change strangely. Every time she had a fever, the pendant would glow and turn a strange translucent color, forcing her to quickly take it off out of fear of being seen. Once removed and returning to normal temperature, it would restore to its original state. But no matter what, it had never turned such colors.

Half blood-red, half black?

If the blood-red was due to being soaked in someone’s blood, then what was the reason for the other half being black? What secrets did the jade pendant hold? And did the words her father spoke in her dream relate to Vincent in some way?

Maybe, when Adam brings the jade pendant tomorrow, she should visit her father and ask about the hidden secrets he might still be keeping.

Early the next morning, Adam quickly tidied up. Seeing Audrey Vance coming to relieve him, he promptly turned to leave.

Maxwell Vance, who had been quietly lying in bed, suddenly grabbed his clothes and, with an unfriendly tone, questioned him, ’Where are you going? Are you going to see that bitch May again?’

Adam, speechless, glanced at her. Just as he was about to speak, Audrey Vance sternly rebuked Maxwell, ’Maxwell, enough already. Adam kept you company all night, what more do you want? Doesn’t he deserve a break? Besides, there are so many issues at the Owens Group that need his attention. What can he do staying in the hospital with you all the time?’

’What for? To be with me, of course!’ Maxwell, bedridden for so long, easily got emotional. Moreover, after hearing Adam and May’s conversation last night, a big knot had formed in her heart. She constantly feared Adam couldn’t forget May and that the two would rekindle their past relationship while she was immobile.

At this moment, she was practically on the verge of collapse. Keeping her focus solely on Adam, monitoring his every move, had become her only thought.

Audrey had been caring for Maxwell during this time and was starting to feel exasperated. From initial enthusiasm and guilt to the current indifference, she was becoming increasingly annoyed with this woman who acted neurotic and couldn’t see the reality before her.

’Maxwell, you’re in the wrong here. Adam is a man, the only male descendant of the Owens Family. Do you really want him to stay with you like a maid? What’s more, it’s not like we’re short of helpers. If you need company, I can bring more people over, but Adam is a man, and he should focus on his career development.’

Audrey gave Maxwell a disapproving look and couldn’t help but scold her.

Maxwell stubbornly kept hold of Adam’s clothes, teary-eyed and looking at him, then said to Audrey, ’He’s going to work? He’s clearly going to see that woman. Aunt, ask him if he isn’t meeting May. Did he promise her a visit to the hospital today, didn’t he?’

Feeling irritable, Adam shook her fingers off, snapped, "Are you crazy?" and then turned to leave. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seeing how Adam treated her, Maxwell immediately burst into tears, ’Aunt, I worked so hard to give birth to his child, and now I can’t even move, and he treats me like this?’

If this were before, Audrey would have tried to comfort her a bit, but now the Vance Family’s power had collapsed, and there was no telling when Vincent would wake up. Even Audrey wasn’t foolish enough to cause trouble at her in-laws’.

’You just have to bear with it. Adam is the only son of the Owens Family. Even I have to show him due respect. If you keep causing trouble for him and he abandons you, I won’t be able to do anything about it.’ Audrey blandly advised Maxwell to see things more clearly.
