The jade was bright green and translucent. There was no trace of impurities, and it was cool to touch. Judging from the exquisite carvings on the gemstone, she knew immediately it was a priceless antique.

Margaret stared at the ornament in confusion. “This is strange. Since when was such valuable jade buried in the backyard? Hasn’t anyone discovered this before? Could it be that someone sneaked in and buried this here after the fall of the Everheart

Renee frowned as she tried to figure out an answer, and that was when her eyes were drawn to the pattern carved on the jade.

She had a feeling that she had seen this pattern before.

Margaret carefully recalled the past. “I have been guarding this house diligently since the incident. It’s impossible that anyone got in. Even if someone took the opportunity of my brief absence to sneak in and bury this, I would have noticed it. Anyway. who would hide such a high–grade jade in someone else’s backyard?
