Find Me In Your Labyrinth Chapter 216

Chapter 216 

As soon as Jonathan and Estelle left the Jarvis family, word that they had gotten the earrings reached Baldrick’s ears. 

Baldrick, who was lying in bed recuperating from his injuries, immediately sat up in disbelief, exclaiming, ‘How is that possible?” 

Just yesterday, despite his head injury, he personally visited the Jarvis family with Winnie, but he didn’t even get to see Old Mr. Jarvis 

Despite he mentioning his grandfather’s reputation, the elderly butter calmly served him a cup of tea Politely, the butler explained that Old Mr. Jarvis was unwell and couldn’t receive any visitors to prevent the spread of his illness 

Baldrick entrusted the old butler with a message, expressing their willingness to purchase the earrings at any cost if Old Mr. Jarvis was willing to sell it. However, he acknowledged that even with the offer, they might still be unable to acquire the earrings. 

Baldrick was currently asking his friends in C City to find a middleman, but he found out that the earrings had been bought by Jonathan 

The question was, how did Jonathan know the earnings was in the Jarvis family’s possession? 

Winnie found out through her friend in the Cultural Relics Bureau, so how did Jonathan get the news? 

Baldrick’s trusted assistant speculated, “Could Miss Winnie have told Ms Macclain? They seem to have a good relationship.” 

Baldrick thought for a moment, shook his head, and said. “Winnie isn’t that stupid. She’s been with me for so many years and knows the rules.” 

He had already lost out on the earrings and needed to think of another plan quickly! 

The assistant worriedly said, “Since Jonathan knows about the earrings, he must also know that you went looking for the earrings without telling him. Would he harbor any ill feelings towards you?” 

“At this point, do we have time to worry about that?” Baldrick sneered, a glint in his eyes. He whispered, “Get the banquet ready and invite Krus over for a meal* The assistant asked. “Won’t inviting Krus by himself, without Schilder, cause any misunderstandings?” 

“No” Baldrick confidently said, “It’s normal for Krus to be in charge of some collaborations, and our dealings with each other make sense 

With that, the assistant stopped worrying and did as Baldrick instructed. 

At noon, Krus stayed at Baldrick’s villa for lunch, accompanied by Winnie. 

Since Baldrick himself couldn’t drink, he had Winnie drink with Krus. 

The three chatted and laughed, discussing the local customs and lifestyle without bringing up business matters 

Winnie saw Baldrick give her a signal and picked up the wine bottle to pour a drink for Krus, saying, “Mr. Krus, if you’re available, you should visit our B City. It’s a completely different place from C City, and I guarantee you’ll love it.” 

Krus’s blue eyes seemed somewhat drunken as he held onto Winnie’s wrist and stared at her, asking, “Is Miss Winnie from B City?” 

His English wasn’t as good as Schilder’s, with an unsteady accent, but he managed to convey his meaning 

Winnie maintained her smile, replying. “No, I’m from J City. It is also a great place” 

Then I really want to visit J City and see the kind of wonderful place that could produce a beauty like Miss Winnie Krus still held her hand, moving it up her arm. Winnie skillfully dodged his advances while continuing to get him the wine, saying, “Mr. Krus, I’ll personally be your guide as long as you’re available.” 

Krus glanced at her chest and smiled, seemingly full of hidden meaning. 

Soon, after drinking half a bottle of wine, Krus’s speech became slurred, and his eyes were fixed on Winnie. 

Baldrick said to Winnie, “Go upstairs and clean up the guest room, so that Mr. Krus can stay and rest for a while before leaving” 

Winnie hesitated, seemingly not understanding Baldrick’s words. 

Baldrick’s tone dropped a bit and said, “Go ahead!”
