Jackson was slightly startled when he heard these words and turned his head.
Upon seeing the moon-shaped jade pendant, he momentarily froze.
Where did this come from?
He recalled snatching it from the neck of Matiasâs
sisterâ¦
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt something was off.
That jade pendantâ¦
The daughter lost by the first branch of the family, wasnât she wearing such a piece of jade when she
disappeared?
So, Matiasâs sister was actually the lost daughter of the Gill family, the rightful young princess of the
first
branch?
Jacksonâs eyes immediately became frantic.
Just then, Austin had already rushed to his side,
completely disregarding his current injuries, and grabbed his collar. âSpeak, where did this moon-
shaped jade come from!â
Jackson stopped in his tracks.
He swallowed hard, then slowly said, âAustin, wellâ¦â
âWhat? Speak!â
Austin roared at him angrily.
Looking at his state, and thinking back to how he had bullied Nara in the courtyard earlier that day,
witnessing her tear-stained face, Jackson grew scared.
The first branch had lost a daughter, and although they didnât make a big fuss about it in public, all
members of the direct lineage of the Gill family knew about it!
Moreover, they had never given up searching for her
over these many years.
Austin felt especially guilty about this sister, wishing he could offer his heart and soul to treat her well!
If the first branch found out that he had nearly forced himself on their daughter, then he would definitely
be driven out of the Gill family.
With his current state, if he were thrown out, where would he live in the future?!
Jackson swallowed hard again and immediately said, âAustin, donât be anxious. I was just about to tell
you about this⦠I had forgotten for a moment because of the pain, right?â
Austin immediately let go of his collar and asked, âDid you find our sister?â
Jackson nodded. âYes, I have some leads. I brought this jade piece to show you first..
Austin cut him off. âThis jade is my sisterâs. Where did you get it from?â
Jackson coughed. âFrom a black market shop. Iâm
guessing your sister couldnât make ends meet and sold this piece of jade. Alas!â

Austin was stunned when he heard this, then his eyebrows furrowed. âMy sister is living in difficult
circumstances? Then tell me the shop ownerâs address. I will go find them! No matter what, we must
find my
sister!â
Jackson cast his eyes down. âOkay, donât get agitated.
Thie already cent comeone to look into it But this niece
