Chapter 83

That night, the Taylor siblings left Solana City and returned to Belbanks.

The cities weren't that

far from each other. It only took the siblings less than two hours to reach. Belbanks via the highway. Solana City was the country’s economic center. It was rich in resources.

It was a great place for businesses to expand and develop, so countless companies competed for a s However, Belbanks was an entirely different story. Over the past century, the Taylors were the only or The Taylor family’s businesses gave one—

third of the Bellbanks population their jobs. Hence, the family was known as the Ruler of Belbanks.

It could be

said that Belbanks would remain a small ordinary town without the Taylors’ influence. After all, they v the city’s economy.

Soon, the siblings arrived at Stellus.

"Oh, Ms. Alyssa! When did you return to this city?”

Don Blackwell, the elderly groundskeeper of Stellus, welcomed the Taylor siblings happily. He

was the youngest son of Winston's nanny. They were childhood friends who were extremely close

to each other.

Don wasn't an ambitious man at all. He wasn't interested in living a life of luxury. He also chose to remain single and child—free.

Stellus was his only priority in life, and he spent his days working on the gems. Life was very

relaxing for him

"How have you been doing lately, Uncle Don? Do your legs still ache during rainy days? Is your asthma getting better now? I asked Sean to pass some medicine over to you some time ago. Is it effective?”

Alyssa’s eyes sparkled animatedly as she linked arms with Don affectionately.

“I'm doing well. But your return makes everything better.” Don was so delighted that he started crying happy tears.

“I came here to ask you for a favor.”

Alyssa let out a small sigh and decided to be straightforward. “A good friend of mine gave me a present, but I accidentally broke it. I'm worried he might be sad if he finds out, so I want to make a "What's the present?”

Alyssa pursed her lips before fishing a vintage accessory bag out of her bag. Then she retrieved

the shards of an emerald bracelet from within.

"Oh my! That emerald came from an ore of great quality. It's difficult to find such a great ore even

if I have to crack open a thousand ores. What a shame.” Don had always been a gem enthusiast, so he couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw the shards.

“I know it's hard to get such a great—quality ore, but I'd still like to try. How many uncracked ores

do you have left?” Alyssa asked.

"About 500, give or take.”

“I want all of them opened tonight.”

“Ahem” Don choked on his spit at that moment.

Jonah let out a light cough out of embarrassment. Meanwhile, Silas was already reaching for his phone. He was ready to call Winston for help.

Alyssa had the tendency to say the most shocking things in such a light and airy tone.

“No way! You're going to exhaust my supply!” Don sounded very anxious. At the same time, he thou "You're being dramatic, Uncle Don. You can keep the gems for yourself. It's not like you have to sell t total price on-

Jonah and Silas moved immediately and caught the elderly man just in time.

The Taylor family owned four beautiful gardens in Belbanks. Their

names were Lunarus, Culombus, Fogustus, and Stellus.

Stellus was known for its natural and untainted beauty, which could inspire the masses. Herman Fow +15 BONUS

However, Winston soon bought it with a billion dollars. Herman was so furious that he almost disowned his student, Don, on the spot for being best friends with Winston.

It was Herman's 60th birthday half a month later. Winston gave Stellus to him as a grand birthday gift.

That act was able

to get rid of the misunderstanding between them. It turned out that Winston had bought Stellus wit] intention of giving it to Herman as his birthday gift.

The whole thing was meant to be a surprise, after all.

After that, Herman passed away. As his only student, Don inherited Stellus and started managing

it since then.

Alyssa followed Don to the workshop to start cracking the ores open. Meanwhile, the Taylor brothers sat in a pavilion while drinking black tea.

“Lyse is too nice to the Becketts. I'm starting to get jealous of them.” Silas scowled in displeasure “Mr. Beckett Senior is a distinguished and renowned elder, not to mention he likes Lyse a lot. Lyse

is one who repays people for their kindness. It's only natural for her to want to repay Mr. Beckett Ser Jonah took a sip from his teacup slowly while speaking in a velvety baritone.

"You support her, hmm? I refuse to believe you'd still support Lyse if she were to start dating Jast again!”

“No one can change Lyse's mind, you know. That's how she is. The more we object to her decision, the more she wants to date Jasper.” Jonah heaved a light sigh.

“Damn it! Our sister

is a revered and distinguished beauty. She even rejects the pursuits of the prime minister's son

from the neighboring country! How could she dedicate her love to a bastard

son who recently got acknowledged by his own family?”

Silas huffed coldly. “Then again, this is a good thing. Jasper is the biggest jerk out of the bastard colc Jonah's phone started buzzing on the table at that moment.
