Chapter 498
The drawer was empty, causing Taya’s heart to sink.
The album was a relic left by her sister, but she lost it.
After staring at the drawer for a few seconds, Taya turned around, walked toward Neil, and calmly analyzed.
“Ordinary thieves are only interested in money, but they stole our design drawings, which means they are aiming at the designs. Do you think there is someone in the same line of
work who always wants Rosalie’s album?”
Neil was sending the police the picture of the golden paintbrush. When he heard Taya’s question, he stopped for a
while.
He looked up at Taya. “Many designers want Rosalie’s album,
but to steal it in Washington was…”
He seemed to have thought of something and quickly told the
police the names of several designers, so that the police could
investigate.
After the police got the clue and left, Neil walked up to Taya.
“This hotel is not safe. Let’s find another place.”
Taya felt that nowhere was safe after experiencing this.
“Now that the construction site has been surveyed, what else
do I need to do here?”
If there was no need to stay, it would be better to return as
soon as possible.
“We could have returned after the survey, but now that the
things have been stolen, we should wait till we recover them.”
Taya agreed and nodded her head. Even if she wanted to return to the country, she had to find her sister’s belongings
first.
“Then let’s change to another hotel.”
After Neil sighed heavily, he tilted his head and asked, “Do you still have money?”
Taya turned around and opened another drawer, and the
wallet inside was gone.
She quickly took out her phone, opened the bank app, and
found that the one million that Harper gave her had been debited last night.
Neil leaned over to take a look at her phone, raised the
corners of her mouth, and smiled stiffly. “Great. You’re in the
same situation as me.”
Taya stared at balance, which showed zero, and her heart ached. It was Harper’s hard-earned money…
Neil knocked on the screen of her phone and said calmly, “Those Spidermen must be habitual criminals. They easily took out money after they obtained our bank cards. They might be hired to take the album, but what they wanted was money. The cooperation is a win-win situation for them to
earn more…” he said it so lightly, as if only a few thousands
were stolen.
“How much have you lost?”
Neil raised a finger and showed a clean smile. “Ten thousand.”
Taya was speechless.
Neil patted her on the shoulder and comforted, “I already know I would be robbed or have my things stolen, so I only bring ten thousand whenever I am abroad.”
Taya couldn’t help but glance at him. “Aren’t you a black belt in Taekwondo? How could you be robbed?”
Neil also glanced at her. “How can you believe my nonsense?”
Taya finally understood what Harper meant by how unreliable
Neil was.
She was helpless. She sat down at the desk. When she was staring into space lifelessly, a tall and straight figure walked in
from the door.
Griffon walked up to Taya and stretched out his fingers. “Follow me.”
Taya looked up at him, shocked.
Didn’t he leave? Why was he here?
When Neil saw that the person who came in was Griffon, he also showed the same shocked expression.
A man of the three most powerful families in the country was reaching out to Taya and asking her to go with him?
Neil rubbed his eyes, suspecting that she had mistaken.
But the handsome man in front of him was clearly Griffon.
He slowly shifted his shocked gaze to Taya. “This is the
acquaintance you just mentioned?”
What?! Taya didn’t tell him that she knew such a rich heir,
causing him to lose more than ten thousand!
Taya didn’t reply to Neil’s words, but after looking at Griffon for a few seconds, she replied, “No need. I’ll figure it out myself.”
Griffon’s handsome face darkened. “What can you do? ”
Taya wanted to say a few words, but Griffon bent over and hugged her, who was sitting on the chair.
Neil, who was still in shock, saw Griffon picking up Taya and walking towards the elevator. He quickly chased after them.
“Alpha Knight, take me with you!”
He has no money on him, and if he did not hold onto this
chance, he would have to sleep on the street!
Griffon held Taya’s hand and freed his other hand. When Neil
was about to rush in, he quickly closed the elevator door.
Neil outside the door, cursing, “What the hell, man!”
