Chen Wanyue's face was ashen. She was furious.
She was sick with regret.
'I should have gone up the mountain first thing this morning!'
'I shouldn't have stayed home to deal with Mr. Li. I definitely shouldn't have clung to the hope that a little delay wouldn't change anything and let Grandmother keep me here!'
'This was my one big chance to get rich. If I miss it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!'
Chen Wanyue quickly explained the situation, then glared at Mrs. Chen with eyes full of resentment.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't stopped me, I might have been the one to find the treasure chest by now."
Mrs. Chen's mind was a mess, her head buzzing.
'I knew this girl was hiding something, but who knew it was something this huge!'
If she had known Wanyue was going up the mountain to find that blasted treasure chest, she never would have stopped her. She would have carried her up the mountain herself.
But now, they were a step too late. A step too late!
