Chapter 1534 Missing Jewelry
At this moment, a small yacht was sailing away from the pier and out to the sea. Nigel was steering the yacht
himself since he had plenty of experience. On the other hand, Queenie stood beside him. It was her first experience
going out to sea, so her heart was racing in her chest. She kept a tight grip on his shirt and clung to the railing
nearby anxiously, not daring to release her grip.
“Come here. I’ll teach you.” He slowed the yacht down and pulled her over to the steering wheel. Then, he circled
her with both arms around the sides of her waist and pressed his strong chest firmly against her back.
The sudden intimacy made her heart race again. At the same time, she couldn’t help feeling exhilarated. Sure
enough, all her worries from before had vanished into nothing. Her heart was currently overflowing with joy and
excitement.
“Wow! I know how to steer the yacht now!” After driving the yacht for a few minutes, she suddenly exclaimed in
pure delight.
His gaze landed on her face. The sea breeze toyed with her long hair, revealing her delicate face. Her appearance

Seeing how happy she was, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Moreover, the smile on
her face made the corners of his mouth lift in response. They stopped the yacht in the middle of the calm sea and
sat on the deck to stare up at the starry sky above them, admiring the full moon and boundless sea stretching out
before them.
Queenie’s depressed mood from before was completely gone. Sitting here in the middle of the sea, she was in very
high spirits. There was nothing that could disrupt her wonderful mood at the moment.
A small wave came, causing her to jump in fright and throw herself into the arms of the man beside her. Nigel was
caught unprepared, so he was pinned to the deck by her weight. They were so close that their faces were almost
touching.
Taken aback by the close distance, she stiffened and tried to pull away. However, an arm suddenly snaked around
her waist and prevented her from moving. “Since you’ve already gone to the trouble of pushing me down, I’m not
letting you leave just like that.”
Her complexion turned beet red at those words. How could I dare to pin him down?! Everything happened by
accident!
The starlight and moonlight above their heads illuminated the world with a silvery light. The light from the yacht
also shrouded around them. The man’s handsome face was the preference of most women—masculine yet
delicate. In particular, the lines of his perfect jawline were sharper than her entire life’s plan.
All of a sudden, his Adam’s Apple rolled slightly as though he was swallowing nervously. She blushed and tried to get
off him, but a palm suddenly pressed down on the back of her head at this moment.
“Uh…” She was completely caught unprepared, and her lips voluntarily pressed against his thin lips.
A wicked smile flickered in his eyes, and the kiss deepened. She was kissed so deeply that she couldn’t breathe, and
her body became a little numb and weak as a result. At this moment, she no longer dared to loosen her grip on him
and could only hug him tightly around the waist.
“Are you scared?” He could sense her fear. It had gotten late, and the waves had indeed gotten a little rougher.
Lying in his arms, Queenie nodded in response. It was true that she felt rather scared.
“Let’s return!” Nigel pulled her back into the cabin and drove back toward the hotel’s pier.
As soon as her feet touched solid ground, she felt extremely relieved. Sure enough, I’m better suited to living on

At this moment, her phone rang with the sound of a message coming in. She picked up her phone and saw that it
was a message from Bonnie.
‘Queenie, I just realized that one of the pieces of jewelry that Leslie gave you is missing. It’s nowhere to be found. I
suspect that it was most likely stolen by the servants, so I asked our parents to report the theft to the police.’
When she finished reading the message, she immediately felt very annoyed. The servants in their house had been
serving them for at least five to six years and would never take anything that did not belong to them. Therefore,
she was certain that Bonnie had taken this missing piece of jewelry and wrongly accused one of the servants of the
theft.
‘What jewelry? Do you have evidence that the servants were the ones who took the jewelry?’ She quickly replied to
the message.
‘In any case, it’s missing. Somebody must have taken the jewelry. You can’t be suspecting somebody from our
family, right? I suspect that Courtney took the jewelry. I heard her daughter is about to enter college. I’m sure she
doesn’t have the money to pay the tuition fees!’ Bonnie replied with another message.
Queenie was furious. Is it because Courtney had refused to testify for Bonnie previously? Is that why she is now
accusing Courtney of theft!?
‘Don’t report this incident to the police yet. Wait until I get home tomorrow.’ She did not wish for Courtney to be
wrongfully accused, so she decided to go home tomorrow and deal with this matter.
