Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

After the Crawford family departed, the wind blew away the cloth that covered the stone, revealing a brilliant purple hue.

While on patrol, Dexter stumbled upon the exposed jadeite.

“Don’t expose your wealth...” he murmured. Spotting Margaret with sauerkraut, he took the white plastic film she intended to use as a cover and wrapped it around the boulder.

Margaret protested, “Hey... what are you doing? | need that for pickling the sauerkraut!” Looking at the stone once again, Dexter said that the shape of the stone resembled a horned creature, making it rather unsightly.

“Don't you still have two jars? You can dry the mustard greens on the stone later. It'll be clean and convenient,” Dexter suggested.

Margaret remained silent.

This was no ordinary stone and yet, he was telling her to dry the mustard greens on them? Jack had explicitly mentioned that the stone was worth hundreds of millions and that they were searching for a skilled artist to carve it, so they had to be careful around it.

“For such a valuable item, it will attract thieves. Using it to dry mustard greens is the right thing to do so that it won't attract thieves.” Dexter explained.

Margaret sighed, she was speechless.

Under Dexter's guidance, Margaret eventually placed a large bucket of mustard greens out in the sun.

“Well, forget about it. dried mustard greens are delicious!” Margaret remarked, gazing at them with satisfaction.

Edward kept the broken fragment in his room and not only covered the missing corner with white plastic film but also placed two mustard greens on top.

“That's great!” Margaret said, wiping her hands on her apron before resuming her work.

Outside the Crawford Mansion, a black car drove past slowly.

Meanwhile, a drone flew above Crawford Mansion.

Inside the black car, one person voiced their concern, “We can't see if you're flying the drone too high! Can't you lower the drone a bit?” Another person replied, “We'll be spotted if we fly too low. Just hurry up and fly over there and get out of here.” This area has strict surveillance, and drones could not fly around casually, even if they flew at lower altitudes. The thieves had to approach discreetly, and since they had been there for a while, they found an opportunity to carry out their plans.

Unbeknownst to others, this was a gang of thieves from Southbank.

The thieves heard about the news that the Crawford family owned a priceless jade and they were finding suitable accomplices to rob them.

This group of people had been staking out the location for several days, patiently waiting for the Crawford family to leave.

After the black car passed by, the footage captured by the drone was uploaded to a computer.

The thieves examined the video and photos with anticipation. One of them commented, “It's said to be a large stone... | believe it must be hidden in the main building.” He pointed towards the main building of the Crawford residence.

“Our problem right now is that we don’t know what the stone looks like. We've checked all the surveillance cameras, but there’s no evidence of the stone being transported back here...” “During this period, no cars other than the Crawford family’s private vehicles have entered the Crawford Mansion, so the stone must have been brought in using their own car.” “Since it was transported using their own car, the stone couldn't have been larger than the trunk.” In the image, a massive boulder was visible in front of the main building, covered with sun-drying mustard greens.

However, the thieves ignored it.

After all, such an enormous boulder would not fit in the trunk of a car.

Plus, it was covered with mustard greens. Who in their right mind would use a billion-dollar rough stone to dry mustard greens? “Damn, it... If only Frank hadn't been caught. He was our guide, and | don’t know why he was so unlucky. He ran into four policemen when he opened the door,” one of the thieves lamented.

“I told him not to be tempted by small gains. He has no boundaries when it comes to stealing,” one of the thieves remarked, frustrated with Frank's behavior.

Although Frank might not excel in other skills, his investigating skills were incredible.

He managed to infiltrate the police headquarters.

Every time the gang of thieves thought about this unbelievable feat, they could not help but feel absurd.

“Take another look, we need to gather information about the Crawford Mansion’s layout...” This group of thieves had stolen from banks, the richest person in the world, and even cultural relics from the Sunset Museum.

So, as usual, they were confident about this heist and were unaware of what was going to happen to them...

The Crawford family arrived at Saffron Island in high spirits, oblivious to the fact that they were being watched.

They understood the importance of keeping their wealth discreet. They were simply searching for a partner to cooperate with, and news about the original stone would be leaked to some extent.

But that was not their concern at the moment.

An airport could not be built because of Saffron Island's terrain. Once the Crawford family’s private plane landed in the city near the island, they had to take a boat to reach their destination.

Blake was speaking quietly to Lilly, saying, “We also have to undergo weightlessness training. However, the training isn’t suitable for someone as young as you.” “So when we arrive at Saffron Island, we'll use the jumping machine and roller coaster built by Uncle Anthony for the training.” Anthony, who was walking ahead, looked puzzled, while Bettany and Lisa, who had been following them quietly, exclaimed, “Fork out!” Blake touched his nose sheepishly.

It was a shame he had not found a place teeming with ghosts. Otherwise, they could practice on combat.

Numerous tourists were traveling to Saffron Island by boat. The island had constructed a magnificent amusement park, featuring crystal-clear water, soft sandy beaches, and luxurious hotels with luxurious amenities. On weekends, the island attracted a multitude of wealthy people who brought their children and enjoy the facilities.

Although weekends were typically bustling, it seemed to have fewer visitors this week.
