Chapter 386 - Stolen

"You were right, the Galaxy was stolen by Mayor Hall. He was the one that orchestrates the ambush of President Martin and Madam Victoria more than 20 years ago. One of the people he hired to ambush them was able to escape and he was the one who found the box with the Galaxy in it. He brought it to Mayor Hall in exchange for a reward." Arthur started with a serious tone.

"So, Galaxy was in Mayor Hall's possession all along?" J asked with a furrowed brow looking at Arthur who is sitting in another lounge chair in front of her.

"No." She heard Daniel speak so she raised her head to look at Daniel with an inquiring look. Daniel is standing beside Arthur with his hands on his pocket.

"Mayor Hall is not interested in diamonds or any kind of gem, he is more interested in the money that he might get from it. So, they said that he sold it to Aivy." Daniel continued.

"Aivy? Aivy and the Jewel?" J has heard of Aivy and the Jewel and has seen its billboard everywhere since it is quite popular.

Daniel nodded his head. "Yes. Aivy is a renowned jeweler in the country who owns Aivy and the Jewel. Aivy and the Jewel are the most famous and luxurious chains of jewelry stores in the country."

"She is also the one who designed Massive J out of Galaxy. But she didn't buy Galaxy and create Massive J to put it in the market." Felix but in. To get a faster result, Arthur asked for the team's help so the rest of the team knows every detail.

"Galaxy is a rare stone. So, she collects it." J mumbled as she sank in deep thought. "Then why would she donate it to be auctioned off?" She again raised her head to look at the four men.

"Every year, GBC Auction Ball chooses five beneficiaries. And this year, the beneficiaries were Alzheimer's Disease Society of Lotus City, 365 Help Center, Dog Watcher's Foundation, The Children of Mt. Celandine and Save the Naupaka Rainforest. We've checked out these beneficiaries and its background and found out that The Children of Mt. Celandine was founded and run by Laurie Como and her husband." J stared at Arthur with anticipation. Waiting for his next words.

"Laurie Como is Aivy's step-sister." Felix can't help but speak up since Arthur is taking too long to say it.

J leaned back and crossed her hands in front of her chest. "This sounds complicated." She said in a low voice staring at the cover of the closed book beside her. On the cover of the book is a painting of two women from the 1800s.

"I know right! First, why would Aivy donate an extremely rare and expensive collection of hers to be auctioned? Secondly, the inclusion of The Children of Mt. Celandine which was founded and run by her stepsister is quite suspicious. Something's must've been going on."

J is lost in her thoughts. Something is going on in that brain of hers so the four men remained silent.

"Felix, can you check out what Aivy is planning as soon as possible?" Although J has to order them sometimes, she always remained humble with her words.

Felix gave her a thumbs up and said. "Easy as a pie!"

J gave him a genuine smile. "Thank you."

"Do you know how GBC Auction Ball chooses their beneficiaries?" J asked Arthur.

"The organizations and charities will go through a highly competitive application process. The committee will then review their missions and proposed use of the collection that they will get from the auction before they decide who to choose among the applicant."

J once again lost in her deep thought. She rubbed her eyes that seems to be tired because of reading and staring for such a long period of time.
