Find Me In Your Labyrinth - Season 2 Episode 98

He led the three of them forward. Millard was secretly shocked; the yard seemed simple, but it was actually full of wealth. Every little decoration in the courtyard

was worth a fortune.

Arriving outside the front hall. The old bulter asked Jonathan and the others to wait while he went to inform Old Mr. Jarvis.

He came back quickly and said with a smile, “The lord invites you inside!

“Thank you” Jonathan nodded, leading Estelle into the front hall.

There was a side door in the room, and outside of it was a pond Old Mr. Jarvis was fishing and came back when he put down his fishing rod. His eyes first fell on Estelle and then shifted to Jonathan, his voice deep, “Mr. Lamont?”

Jonathan responded politely. “Sorry to disturb you, Old Mr. Jarvis.”

Millard placed the tea leaves on the table and left quietly.

Old Mr. Jarvis was dressed in simple gray clothes, his figure lean and spirit strong. He laughed a few times and looked at Estelle, asking, “And you are?”

“She’s my friend, here with me to visit you, replied Jonathan.

“Friend?” Old Mr. Jarvis looked at Estelle and smiled meaningfully. With his shrewd eyes calm and deep, he pointed at the chairs, “Have a seat,”

Jonathan and Estelle took their seats as a servant came in to pour water.

“What can I do for you?” Old Mr. Jarvis asked after taking a sip of tea.

Jonathan cut to the chase, “An old friend of mine lost a pair of earrings years ago. I heard that they’re now in your collection, so we come here today. If you’re willing to part with them, I’ll pay handsomely.”

Old Mr. Jarvis sneered, “So it’s about the earrings again? Someone came before to buy them for a friend. This friend of yours can’t be the same person, can it?” “Must be the same person! Jonathan replied.

Old Mr. Jarvis continued, “And what do you go through all this trouble for? These earrings are for women, and this friend of yours is also a woman?”

“Yes, she’s a woman. The earrings were pa*sed down from her grandma who already pa*sed away. My friend wants to fulfill her wish by getting them back.” With a seemingly smiling expression, Old Mr. Jarvis glanced at Estelle who had remained quietly and asked, “You’re here to beg me for a woman, offering a handsome amount of money. Doesn’t the girl sitting next to you mind?”

Jonathan’s eyebrows furrowed, his voice more restrained, “These are separate matters.”

Estelle coughed lightly and turned to Old Mr. Jarvis. ‘Sir, you misunderstood. The owner of the earrings went abroad for a long time after getting married. She’s back now with her husband to discuss business and search for the earrings in her hometown.”

“Oh, I see! You should have explained it clearly from the start! Old Mr. Jarvis waved as if he didn’t care, “The earrings are in a corner, collecting dust. I suppose I can give them to you.”

Jonathan replied, “Thank you very much. You name the price.”

Old Mr. Jarvis chuckled, “I know the Lamont family is rich, but do you think I lack money? I don’t need any money. I’ll give you the earrings for free, but I have one condition.”

Jonathan responded calmly, “Whatever you want, just say it.”

Old Mr. Jarvis raised his hand and pointed at Estelle, his eyes sparkling. “Leave her here, and you can take the earrings with you.”
