Chapter 1088: You Don’t Deserve to Know

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After a brief introduction, the program team arranged for the two groups of guests to play games together.

First, they played a few matches of<Zerg Invasion> and then they played a few games of poker.

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling easily won both.

After that, the program team suggested dressing each other up.

After all, there was a ball this evening.

And thus, Lucy entered Jian Yiling’s cloakroom and began to carefully select dresses, shoes, and bags.

As Lucy came from the Goodman family, she had a good eye for fashion and clothes. Everything she picked was very suitable for Jian Yiling.

She acted as though she was very attentive to all this.

Finally, it was time for selecting jewelry.

Lucy asked Jian Yiling where she placed her jewelry.

Upon being asked this, Jian Yiling dragged out a suitcase from her room.

Lucy, who had been very calm before this, finally showed a trace of strangeness when she saw the suitcase.

In a direction where the camera could not see her expression, Lucy’s eyes were firmly fixated on the suitcase. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

There was no lock on the suitcase. Jian Yiling directly opened the suitcase.

Countless valuable pieces of jewelry and antiques were casually placed inside the suitcase.

However, the family compass that Lucy longed for was no longer there.

How could this be?

Where was their family compass?

And why was it no longer in the suitcase?

This disrupted Lucy’s original plans.

She stood in front of the suitcase for a long time. To the netizens and viewers, it would appear as though she was carefully selecting the piece of jewelry for Jian Yiling to wear.

After a long time, Lucy reached out to pick up a diamond necklace for Jian Yiling.

When Lucy looked at Jian Yiling, she noticed that Jian Yiling’s eyes were as calm as always.

“Jian Yiling, where did you place the compass that was previously in the suitcase?” Lucy asked in a whisper.

She had to whisper to ensure that the recording equipment in the room could not hear her voice.

Jian Yiling indifferently looked at Lucy before she replied: “Are you talking about your family compass?”

Upon hearing this response, Lucy could no longer remain calm.

“You know about that?!”

“Yeah,” Jian Yiling replied. Unlike Lucy, Jian Yiling remained calm and indifferent.

“Sell it to me! You can pick any price point!”

“It’s not something that’s supposed to be sold,” Jian Yiling replied.

“But it has no use in your hands. It’s only useful to the Goodman family.”

“If that’s the case, you should go back and ask about the proper way to use this compass,” Jian Yiling answered.

“What do you mean by that?” Lucy asked. She was stunned.

Was there something about this compass that she did not know about?

And yet, Jian Yiling knew?

“Tell me the truth. What do you mean by those words? And why is our family compass in your possession?” Lucy asked anxiously.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were still streaming, she would have yelled at Jian Yiling already.

Thankfully, her back was still towards the camera in the room. Otherwise, the viewers and netizens would have seen the distorted expression on her face.

“You don’t deserve to know,” Jian Yiling replied in an icy cold voice.

“Why don’t I deserve to know?”

“You were ready to steal the compass.”

“I…” Lucy stuttered. She hadn’t yet stolen the compass but somehow, Jian Yiling already knew her plans.

The feeling of being read like a book made Lucy feel as if she was naked and exposed in front of Jian Yiling.

Lucy lowered her head and looked at the delicate figure in front of her.

For some strange reason, fear rose in her heart.

Even though she looked down upon the girl in front of her, why did it feel like everything was under her control?
