Chapter 803 Jeppard x Original Heroine 13

Then Xuexi went downstairs and sat directly next to Shiluwa, opposite Jeppard.

When Jeppard heard Xuexi addressing Shiluwa, his resolute and handsome ice-blue eyes shone brightly in an instant, as if filled with the flame of hope.

However, this light was as short-lived as a shooting star. During the following conversation with Xuexi, it gradually dimmed like the moon covered by dark clouds.

"Is this the lady's necklace?" Jeppard said, and then he carefully took out the necklace and gently placed it on the table.

"It's mine, thank you, sir. I thought it was lost." After finishing her meal, Xuexi saw the necklace on the table and hurriedly thanked Jeppard.

Then, naturally, Jeppard asked Xuexi about the origin of the necklace.

When Xuexi talked about the origin of the necklace, her voice and emotions became noticeably lower.

Xuexi said that Shirley was her good friend. When Shirley first arrived in the lower class area, they were often mistaken for the same person because they looked alike and had similar temperament and figure.

And she is an orphan, helpless in this vast world.

So after a series of ups and downs, the two of them fled together, cooperated with each other, depended on each other, and became inseparable good friends.

However, the gears of fate turned mercilessly. Shirley was stabbed in the vitals by the gangster during a knife robbery and left this world forever.

Before she died, Shirley told her about her life story and the reason why she was wanted, as well as everything about Jeppard, Shilua and the Landau family.

Let her ask them for help if she encounters any difficulties. Shiluwa, Lingke and the Landau family are her closest and most important people.

So, in the past two years, she would occasionally come to see Shirley's former sister.

As for hiding from Jeppard, it was because she was afraid that she would be hunted down by the Iron Guards because of her appearance. After all, Shirley's wanted list was still posted on the bulletin board.

"Her tombstone is built in the lower district, sir. When you are free, I can take you there to pay your respects."

What Xuexi said was partly true and partly false. The knife robbery was true, and it was true that she had taken time out in the past two years to come and see Shiluwa. It was also true that she had been avoiding Jeppard.

It was indeed she who built that tombstone. The Sulli of the past is dead, and the one who is still alive is Xuexi.

And what she said also happened to explain why she ran with Sambo yesterday and why she sneaked out of the window at night just to avoid Jeppard.

At least 70% of what Xuexi said was true.

As the saying goes, if a story is more than 70 percent true, it is more likely to be believed.

Xuexi kept her eyes lowered while saying these words, and didn't look at Jeppard and Shiluwa.

Xiluwa had expected this, but she didn't expect Xuexi to be such a good actress once she was prepared.

Jeppard remained silent, staring blankly at the necklace on the table.

In Jeppard's deep and resolute ice-blue eyes, there flashed a look of deep sorrow and heartache, like waves stirred up by a strong wind.

The time and place of the knife robbery were exactly the same. He did find Shirley's last bracelet on the snow deep in the snowfield.

And there have indeed been thrilling robberies and murders in that area.
