Chapter 1348 Valuable Fermented Bean Curd (2/2)

In fact, Jacob wanted to ask Emily why this insignificant restaurant had caught her attention and why she had asked him to drive all the way from the central part to the southern side of the city just to have dinner here. Earlier, he had asked Sam to hide a necklace in one of the dishes. Was it possible that Sam had slipped it inside the durian cake?

Jacob's eyes turned to inspect the durian cake.

Emily noticed that Jacob didn't look interested in the food, and that his eyes were fixated on the durian cake. She pushed the cake to Jac

am would come up with clumsier ideas.

Looking for the missing pendant in all the remaining bean curd, Jacob still couldn't find it in the curd. Although Jacob didn't care that the pendant had cost a small fortune, it did reflect his love for Emily. Having found no trace of the pendant, he felt like he had disappointed her, so he said, ”Emily, the pendant is missing!”

”Is it possible that it has perhaps ended up in the other dishes? You should make another call to Sam to check.” Emily was not stupid. She had known quite clearly that Jacob and Sam had been discussing the pendant and the necklace just now.

”Keep an eye out for it.” Jacob quickly phoned Sam. He instantly asked, ”Why didn't you hide the necklace inside the cake? Why did you hide it inside the fermented bean curd?”

”Boss, didn't you say that you wanted to ensure that Lady Emily would remember this forever?” Sam's voice became a little whiny, and he sounded quite aggrieved. Jacob unobtrusively glanced at Emily, only to see her grabbing the food on the table while gobbling down the curd.

All of a sudden, his mood improved.

His tone of voice showed his relief. ”So where did you put the pendant?”

”The pendant?” Sam sounded surprised. ”I put both the necklace and the pendant in the fermented bean curd, boss.”

”Both in the curd, then where...” Jacob's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Emily when panic filled his eyes. ”Emily, do you perhaps have a strange feeling in your throat? Did you feel anything hard when you were eating the food?”

”Huh?” Emily swallowed her mouthful of curd and touched her throat reflexively as she shook her head. ”I'm not stupid. If there really was a pendant in the curd, I certainly couldn't have eaten it.”
