That night, Asher, Axel, and Bella left Savrow and returned to Hatchbay.

The two cities were not far apart. It was only a less-than-two-hour drive on the highway.

Savrow was the economic center of the country, with abundant resources and broad developmentprospects. Everyone wanted a piece of this land.

However, Hatchbay was different. Hatchbay had only belonged to one family for hundreds of years- theThompson family.

The Thompson family created jobs to support at least one-third of Hatchbay’s population. Thus, WyattThompson was known as the “Uncrowned Emperor” of Hatchbay. Without the Thompson, Hatchbaywould be an ordinary, second-tier city. Its economy would not be able to develop so rapidly, either.

The Thompson siblings arrived at the antique Meteor Atelier.

“Ah! Ms. Bella! When did you come back?!”

An old man in his sixties came to the door to greet them excitedly. He was the manager of MeteorAtelier, Tony.

Tony was the youngest son of Wyatt’s nanny. He and Wyatt grew up playing together and had such aclose relationship that they were inseparable.

Tony did not have any big ambitions. Wyatt’s driver bought three houses in Savrow just from listeningto Wyatt’s calls every day. However, Tony was not interested in an investment career. He did not wantto get married or have children, so he stayed in the Meteor Atelier alone. Instead, he spent all his timewith jadeite stones and enjoyed his time in nature.”

“Uncle Tony, how are you? Do your legs still hurt when it rains? Is your asthma better? How do you likethe medicine that I asked Steve to send you a while ago?”

Bella’s bright eyes arched into tiny crescents as she held Tony’s arm affectionately.

“It’s great! I’m fine… But nothing feels better than having you back here!” Tony was so happy that heteared up.

“Actually, I came here this time to ask you for a favor…”

Bella sighed quietly and got straight to the point. “A good friend of mine gave me a gift, but I broke it.

I was afraid that he would be sad if he found out, so I wanted to create a replica…”

“What is it?”

Bella pursed her red lips and carefully took out a vintage jewelry bag, revealing the jade braceletfragments inside.

“Oh! This is a high-grade material. It’s one in a thousand. What a pity!” Tony was a jade connoisseur.

He was heartbroken when he saw the broken jade.

“I also know how rare this material is, but I’d still like to try it. How many pure jadeites do you have herenow?” Bella asked.

“More than five hundred stones.”

“I’ll open them all tonight.”

“What?!” Tony almost spat out blood.

Asher cleared his throat in embarrassment, and Axel silently reached for his phone in his pocket, readyto call the emergency services at any time.

Bella was always like that, saying such earth-shattering words in the calmest tone.

“No, no, no, no! Are you trying to kill me?!” Tony stomped his feet anxiously, looking just like Wyattwhen Wyatt lost his temper.

“You’re exaggerating. You keep these stones as a hobby, and you don’t need them to make a living.Tell me what compensation you want if I want to open all of them?”

Bella thought about how Drew disobeyed her, so she wanted to punish him. Thus, she changed hermind and said, “Charge to my fourth brother’s account. Just tell him to pay double the amount. He hasthe money anyway and doesn’t know what to do with it.”

Tony covered his chest and leaned back listlessly.

Asher and Axel quickly supported the old man.

The Thompson family had four gardens in Hatchbay, namely Moon Garden, Cloud Garden, MistGarden, and Meteor Garden.

Meteor Garden was simple in design, with changing natural scenery throughout the garden. It was firstspotted by the renowned professional jade carver, Jayden. However, Wyatt spent $1 billion to buy itover from the owner, which made Jayden so angry that he almost expelled Tony from hisapprenticeship. It was all because Tony was friends with Wyatt.

Half a month later, on Jayden’s 60th birthday, Wyatt gifted him Meteor Garden, and theirmisunderstanding was resolved. It turns out that Wyatt only bought Meteor Garden as a surprise gift

for Jayden from the beginning.

Now that Jayden had passed away, Tony inherited the atelier as Jayden’s apprentice. Tony remained

at Meteor Garden to this day.

Bella followed Tony to the warehouse to prepare the materials while her brothers were sitting in thefront hall drinking tea.

“Bella is too concerned about the Salvador family. I’m jealous.” Axel pouted in displeasure.

“Old Master Nigel is a highly respected elder. He has always liked Bella. Bella is also a sincere personwho will repay every kindness she has received. It’s only natural that she wants to repay Old Master

Niger for being kind to her, and I support her for that.” Asher sipped the tea slowly. His voice was deepand charming.

“You support everything she does. I don’t believe you would support her being with that jerk Justinagain!”

“Humans can’t change destiny. Bella is a rebel. The more people oppose them being together, themore she wants to prove them wrong.” Asher sighed.

“God is not that great at playing Cupid. My sister is so perfect. Even the son of the prime minister of aneighboring country isn’t worthy of her. But this bastard Justin actually broke her heart!”

Axel scoffed. “But that’s good too. After all, Justin is the worst they can get. Bella won’t be so easilyfooled the next time she meets fuckboys like him.”

At this time, Asher’s phone vibrated on the table.
