Chapter 649 Weaving Bamboo Baskets

A week later, the workers arrived at the back mountain by helicopter and started the project once all the materials had been delivered.

Violeta lived and ate alongside them, seamlessly fitting into their routine.

At first, Elden assumed Violeta was quite delicate, given her refined appearance. However, he was surprised to see how quickly she adapted and showed no signs of discomfort. "Why did you assume I was delicate?" Violeta asked.

"The last person from Glorialand who visited brought two attendants with him," Elden replied while fetching water. "Those attendants complained about our food and insisted on cooking their meals, always demanding meat dishes."
