Chapter 669

Luther sat anxiously in the helicopter, wearing a special noise-cancelling headset that not only provided

sound insulation but also kept his voice normal when he was on the phone.

Once on the helicopter, he tried to find Joyce's cell phone with the real-time satellite locating system

and connected his phone to the helicopter's center console using Bluetooth.

Soon, a popping red dot was displayed on the center console, indicating the current location of Joyce.

And the helicopter had come with a navigation system that could help him quickly find the best path

based on wind direction, airflow and other factors.

The pilot followed the route from the navigation system, adjusted the direction and flew all the way to

Joyce.

With the red dot on the center console entering an off-ramp, Luther let out a low curse. Hell, Joyce was

still heading for the cliff.

He knew that although Joyce could drive, she didn't drive much and was not very familiar with the

roads.

Right now, he could do nothing but get there as soon as possible.

He had never been as nervous as he was now, and he felt like his heart was hanging completely in thenovelbin

air. His mind was blank, and he didn't know what he was really thinking.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

He looked down immediately. If it was Jacqueline or someone else he knew, or if it was a call from

work, he would answer none of these calls at such a critical time. Now, he would only answer calls from

Aaron and the police department.

But actually it was an unfamiliar number he had never seen before.

He hesitated for a moment, afraid that he might miss some important message, and answered it

anyway.

After the call got through, the person on the other end respectfully said, "Mr. Warner, this is Winston

Jewelry. We are calling for the five hundred million dollars worth of diamonds that you sent to us a

month ago… We are now done with its design and cutting according to your liking and have redesigned

them into a complete set of jewelry. When is it convenient for you to come and pick it up?"

So it was an irrelevant call, and Luther was going to just hang up.

But, five hundred million dollars worth of diamonds? He hesitated for a moment and did not hang up

the phone.

They did have a lot of diamonds kept in the VIP safe of the Warner family, but five hundred million

dollars worth of them for a set of jewelry? He could not remember that at all.

It must have been before he lost his memory, too.

Five million dollars… It sounded so familiar.

He did hear Aaron mention that when Joyce was kidnapped at Hill Benjamin, the kidnappers asked for

five million dollars. At that time, he did not have the patience to hear the whole story out, so he did not

ask Aaron for more details.

Could it be … he took those diamonds for her ransom?

But then why did he want to redesign all those diamonds into a set of jewelry? What exactly did he

want to do at that time?

Suddenly, he felt the need to figure the whole thing out, and he might find some clues eventually.

"Wait a minute, are you sure it was me?" Luther asked.

"Of course!" The staff on the other end of the line immediately found the order record and read it over,

"Mr. Warner, the recipient of the order is Miss Knowles. You personally paid for the customization fee,

and you personally provided the sizes for the necklace, bracelet, and ring for Miss Knowles. Aaron was

the one who delivered the diamonds, right? Our jewelry house handles a lot of valuables and has kept

a very detailed record."

"Miss Knowles? Are you sure it says Miss Knowles on the order record?" asked Luther incredulously,

repeating the question.

"That's right, Miss Knowles," affirmed the staff.

"Got it, I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow." Luther finished and hung up the phone.
