    My attention was drawn to a box on the coffee table. It was an open jewelry box containing the jade jewelry set I had seen Adeline wearing at the Pierce mansion yesterday.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    As noticed meing downstairs and pulled me to his side. When I sat down, he gently said, "You''re awake."


    I nced at Tristan, who was sipping ck coffee. "You''re here early. Couldn''t sleepst night?"


    "Yeah. Got a lot on my mind," Tristan replied, looking tired.


    As pointed at the jewelry set and said to me, "Keep this safe. It belonged to my grandmother."


    I was surprised. No wonder As''s demeanor had changed when he saw Adeline yesterday.


    So, that was the reason.


    Adeline was audacious indeed. She had boldly worn his grandmother''s jewelry in front of him, openly provoking him. No wonder As couldn''t stand it.


    As''s voice was cold as he continued, "This jewelry set is a priceless family heirloom of the Cross family. When my grandmother married my grandfather, the Cross family gave it to her as part of the dowry.


    "When my grandmother was on her deathbed, she handed it over to my father. This must have been what was in the Pierce mansion safe. She dared to wear it so tantly. Who does she think she is?"


    As''s face was dark as he spoke.


    I took it, examining it carefully. The jade set was exquisite, wless, and radiant green throughout. It was clearly a quality piece of jade.


    "I''ve sterilized it already. My grandmother''s belongings are sacred. Only you are worthy of owning them. Keep it safe," As said solemnly.


    I nodded solemnly. "Okay."


    For some reason, at that moment, I suddenly remembered my mother''s water lily brooch.


    "We''ve checked everything in the mansion. We found quite a few pieces of jewelry. I''ll have you look them overter," Tristan said to me, then turned to As. "The other items have all been sorted out and meticulously inspected. We found nothing unusual."


    I understood what Tristan meant by "unusual".


    As just nodded indifferently.


    Tristan continued, "We''ve already arranged for a top-notch renovationpany to restore everything to its original state. They say it''ll take about a month toplete their work."


    As nodded dully. "Okay."


    Just then, Dn hurriedly walked in and As immediately instructed Sandy to prepare dinner and told them "We''ll chat while we eat."


    BUMS


    We all got up and headed to the dining room together.


    During dinner, Dn told As, "We''ve traced the origin of that key. It''s from thergest bank here."


    "We''ll go there after dinner," As said elegantly, continuing to eat. "Keep an eye on those ces."


    I nced at Dn and asked, "What happened to Adeline?"


    "Mr. David took her back. He won''t let her off easily."


    I nodded, feeling that it was only fair. Adeline needed a good ce to go, and Grandpa''s ce was the best destination for her.


    After dinner, I asked As if I could apany him to the bank.


    He nodded without refusing or mentioning anything about sending me back to Foswood.


    But before we could leave, unexpected guests arrived at the estate.
