Jackson had a moment of confusion. âNo, nothingâ¦â
Lady Gill, however, coldly cut in, âThen give it back to her! We, the Gill family, arenât so petty! Do notbully
the weak!â
Jackson immediately lowered his head, âYesâ¦â
Lady Gill then turned to Austin. âYou didnât come home yesterday; where have you been skulkingaround?â
Austin sighed and glanced at Jackson.
After a long pause, he suddenly said, âMom, I thinkâ¦.. I might have almost found my sister!â
Lady Gill staggered upon hearing this, quickly grabbing his hand. âWhere?â
Austin took out the pendant he had in hand and handed it to Lady Gill. âLook, this is my sisterâs jade!
Sheâs in Clance!â
Austin had intended to wait until Jackson recovered,
but after thinking it over, he decided this matter should involve Lady Gill and his two older brothers.
Otherwise, missing the best opportunity to find his sister would be disastrous!
Lady Gillâs hands trembled as she took the jade, then
she fiercely gripped his shoulder, âQuick, tell me where you found this!â
Austin looked at Jackson, âHe gave it to meâ¦â
Lady Gill immediately turned her gaze to Jackson.
Jackson then dropped his gaze, his eyes flashing with a ruthless light. âAuntie, a friend gave it to me.Weâre already looking for her. Rest assured, I will find my cousin, but⦠my vendettaâ¦â
Lady Gill said decisively, âIf you can help me find my daughter, youâll be a benefactor to our family! I willhelp you avenge your grudge, even if it means using all the might of the Gill family!â
She declared with overwhelming presence. âWeâre not afraid of the Olsen family or the Freeman Sect!â
Jackson immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly nodded in agreement. âThank you somuch,
Auntie!â.
âTell me, where did this jade come from?â
Jackson racked his brain and began to fabricate a lie. âAuntie, a friend bought it. The seller was avegetable peddler who seemed to be struggling to make ends meet, so it was pawned off and noinformation was left behind.â
Lady Gill immediately commanded, âThen investigate everyone who sells vegetables, and check withthe children of my daughterâs age!â
The bodyguards nodded. âYes.â
Freeman Sect.
After Trevor and Uncle Olsen exchanged a few words, the two said their goodbyes.
Keira walked Uncle Olsen out to the parking lot.
Because they hadnât been together since her
childhood, they felt a bit awkward in each otherâs
company.
Previously, they were unaware of each otherâs
identities; now that they knew, their interaction wasnât as effortless as before.
While Keira was thinking of a tonic to bring un. Uncle
Olsen suddenly said, âDonât worry, the Gill family wonât take action against our family!â
Keira nodded.
Then she heard Uncle Olsen say, âKeira, if somethingâs bothering you, you can tell me. You have familynow; I can help you bear it.ânovelbin
Keira was taken aback for a moment as she looked at
him.
A wave of warmth suddenly surged from the depths of
her heart.
She nodded. âI want to cooperate with the Gill family.â
Uncle Olsen was startled, âWhy?â
To find her mother, she had to complete the task given by the South family as soon as possible.Although she did not yet know the reason, having now deeply offended Lady Gill, the only way to seekcooperation would be through Uncle Olsen.
She did not speak, and Uncle Olsen didnât inquire further, simply saying, âIâll think of something.â
âThank you.â
âThereâs no need for thanks between you and me. By the way, shall I take you home?â
âNo, thanks. My car is waiting for me.â
Keira pointed to a modest black car parked at the side of the road not far away.
Seeing it, Uncle Olsen pursed his lips, suddenly feeling somewhat dissatisfied. âDoesnât he have towork? Just driving you around every day?â
Keira nodded, âHeâs been a bit scared since the last
incident.â
Uncle Olsen fell silent for a moment, then said, âThe Olsen family will always be your home.â
âI know.â
Uncle Olsen got into the car under Keiraâs watch.
The motorcade started up, and Uncle Olsenâs car began to move forward slowly. Through the rear-viewmirror, he could see Keiraâs light-footed steps as she turned and walked toward the roadside car.
Uncle Olsenâs lips slightly curved into a smile, and after a moment he muttered, âThat bratâs got iteasy!â
The secretary didnât hear him clearly and asked, âSir, what did you say?â.

Uncle Olsenâs expression darkened. âWhere is Poppy
now?â
The secretary immediately said, âIâll have someone look into it.â
âOnce you find her, make her suffer! Have her confess everything she did to my daughter, and pay herback
tenfold!â
The secretary was about to speak.
Then Uncle Olsen suddenly thought of Lewisâ¦
He wasnât the generous type; if he knew how brutally Keira had been treated, he would definitely stepinâ¦
He quickly added. âEven if sheâs already dead, dig up her body and grind her bones to dust!â
âYes.â
Gill family.
Besides Austin, the Gill family had two other sons.
house, anxiously asking, âIs there news about our sister?â
Lady Gill nodded, passing them the jade. âI have a feeling Jackson is hiding something from me, butheâs injured now, and as the son of the second branch, so I donât feel itâs right to ask more. You two, goinvestigate for me! Or take this jade pendant and ask around!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOkay!â
The two hurriedly left the house with the jade.
Austin followed them. âIâll go with you!â
After the group left, Lady Gill finally sat down on the sofa and took a deep breath.
Marketplace.
The three Gill family members were there, holding up a photo and asking, âHave you seen this jadebefore?â
The people all shook their heads.
Nara was walking through the marketplace, holding money to buy groceries.
Her brother was sick, and she thought of buying some ribs to make soup.
As she approached the meat sellerâs stall and was about to take out the money to buy some meat, shesuddenly heard someone nearby ask, âMiss, have you seen this piece of jade before?â
Nara was slightly stunned, immediately turning her head to look, and saw standing before her agentleman with a kindly face.
The gentleman looked at her with a cordial gaze.
