Chapter 83
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
development prospects. Everyone wanted a piece of this land.
However, Hatchbay was different. Hatchbay had only belonged to one family for hundreds
of years- the Thompson family.
The Thompson family created jobs to support at least one-third of Hatchbay’s population.
Thus, Wyatt Thompson was known as the “Uncrowned Emperor” of Hatchbay. Without the
Thompson, Hatchbay would 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
Meteor Atelier, Tony.
Tony was the youngest son of Wyatt’s nanny. He and Wyatt grew up playing together and
had such a close relationship that they were inseparable.
Tony did not have any big ambitions. Wyatt’s driver bought three houses in Savrow just
from listening to Wyatt’s calls every day. However, Tony was not interested in an
investment career. He did not want to get married or have children, so he stayed in the

Meteor Atelier alone. Instead, he spent all his time with 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 like the 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 he teared 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
bracelet fragments 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 here now?” 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, ready to 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 Wyatt when 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 her mind and said, “Charge to my fourth brother’s account. Just tell him to pay
double the amount. He has the 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,
Mist Garden, and Meteor Garden.
Meteor Garden was simple in design, with changing natural scenery throughout the
garden. It was first spotted by the renowned professional jade carver, Jayden. However,
Wyatt spent $1 billion to buy it over from the owner, which made Jayden so angry that he
almost expelled Tony from his apprenticeship. It was all because Tony was friends with
Wyatt.
Half a month later, on Jayden’s 60th birthday, Wyatt gifted him Meteor Garden, and their
misunderstanding was resolved. It turns out that Wyatt only bought Meteor Garden as a
surprise gift
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor 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 the front 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 person who 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 deep and charming.
“You support everything she does. I don’t believe you would support her being with that
jerk Justin again!”
“Humans can’t change destiny. Bella is a rebel. The more people oppose them being
together, the more 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 a neighboring 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 easily fooled the next time she meets fuckboys like him.”
At this time, Asher’s phone vibrated on the table.
