428 Chapter 427
Jackson was slightly startled when he heard these words and turned his head.
Upon seeing the moon-shaped jade pendant, he momentarily froze.
Where did this come from?
He recalled snatching it from the neck of Matias’s
sister…
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt something was off.
That jade pendant…
The daughter lost by the first branch of the family, wasn’t she wearing such a piece of jade when she disappeared?
So, Matias’s sister was actually the lost daughter of the Gill family, the rightful young princess of the first
branch?
Jackson’s eyes immediately became frantic.
Just then, Austin had already rushed to his side,

completely disregarding his current injuries, and grabbed his collar. “Speak, where did this moon-shaped jade come from!”
Jackson stopped in his tracks.
He swallowed hard, then slowly said, “Austin, well…”
“What? Speak!”
Austin roared at him angrily.
Looking at his state, and thinking back to how he had bullied Nara in the courtyard earlier that day, witnessing her tear-stained face, Jackson grew scared.
The first branch had lost a daughter, and although they didn’t make a big fuss about it in public, all members of the direct lineage of the Gill family knew about it!
Moreover, they had never given up searching for her
over these many years.
Austin felt especially guilty about this sister, wishing he could offer his heart and soul to treat her well!
If the first branch found out that he had nearly forced himself on their daughter, then he would definitely be driven out of the Gill family.

With his current state, if he were thrown out, where would he live in the future?!
Jackson swallowed hard again and immediately said, “Austin, don’t be anxious. I was just about to tell you about this… I had forgotten for a moment because of the pain, right?”
Austin immediately let go of his collar and asked, “Did you find our sister?”
Jackson nodded. “Yes, I have some leads. I brought this jade piece to show you first..
Austin cut him off. “This jade is my sister’s. Where did you get it from?”
Jackson coughed. “From a black market shop. I’m
guessing your sister couldn’t make ends meet and sold this piece of jade. Alas!”

Austin was stunned when he heard this, then his eyebrows furrowed. “My sister is living in difficult circumstances? Then tell me the shop owner’s address. I will go find them! No matter what, we must find my
sister!”
Jackson cast his eyes down. “Okay, don’t get agitated.
Thie already cent comeone to look into it But this niece

has changed hands several times, and there are still no leads. Clance is also quite big, searching for someone
is a little better than looking for a needle in a
haystack, but it still takes time…”

Austin calmed down slowly as he listened, his eyes reddening. “Right, I can’t be impatient. As long as we can find my sister, that’s all that matters.”
They had been searching for fifteen years with no
news.
Upon seeing this jade, he panicked.
It was as if his sister was right by his side, yet he had not recognized her…
He patted Jackson on the shoulder. “This jade is just too important to our family, I will give you credit for this! Rest assured, I will definitely stand up for you in this matter! I’ll go home right now and have my mother visit the Freeman Sect again tomorrow!”
“Good, thank you, Austin.”
After Austin left the room, Jackson’s face darkened.
At Matias’s residence, Keira was watching Nara.

The girl was anxious, gesturing at her chest as if she wanted to say something.
Keira asked, “What’s wrong?
She didn’t understand sign language.
Nara immediately picked up a piece of paper and a pen, writing down the words. “He snatched away my pendant!”
Keira immediately frowned. “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get it back.”
Only then did Nara nod.
Then, suddenly realizing that her actions might bring trouble for Keira, she looked conflicted and wrote on the paper, “Will it cause you trouble?”
Keira patted her shoulder.
Nara was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, but she appeared very calm and composed. Being mute, she was also not particularly sensitive, and it was apparent that Matias doted on this little sister very much.
Keira said, “It was he who took your things, how could it bring me trouble? Don’t worry.”

Nara then sighed in relief and nodded.
Keira told Matias and Nara to rest up and not worry
about the Freeman Sect, and then she returned to the
villa with Lewis.
The next day.
As soon as Keira woke up, she received a call from James. “Sister, that Gill family really is a persistent thorn. Yesterday Austin came knocking, and today Jackson was carried over, insisting that you hit him, they are hell-bent on smearing your name! This is just never-ending…”
Keira cut off his rambling, “It seems like I did hit him.”
“…” James was taken aback, “It was really you who hit
him?”
“Yes.”
Keira turned over and was startled when she saw
Lewis’s face.
The man was staring at her, and she didn’t know how long he had been awake.
James’s voice came through the phone. “But sister,
even though Jackson and Austin are indeed verv

annoying, couldn’t you have told me before hitting someone? I could have gone to hit him for you, and then you wouldn’t be in trouble, right? Why do you always take action yourself?”
Keira said, “Oh, I definitely will next time. I just
couldn’t hold back this time!

James said, “Master said not to come to the Freeman Sect in case they catch you. Just stay at home, and he will go and ask the Sect Leader to step in and send the people away. But this time it may be more difficult because Jackson’s injuries seem pretty serious…”
“I’ll be there.”
Keira got up to get dressed.
James said, “What are you coming for? Don’t come…”
“Yesterday, Jackson snatched something from Nara. Since I don’t know which hospital he’s in, and since he’s going to Freeman Sect today, I’ll go and get it
back.”
James was speechless.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Kate asked, “How is it? Did you tell her to hide out at
11:19

the Olsen family for a few days? We’ll block the situation at the Freeman Sect for her and then…”
James said, “My sister said she’s on her way now.”
Kate was dumbfounded.
Chris immediately turned grim-faced. “She’s being ridiculous! Does she really think that this can be glossed over like the incident with Austin? Although Austin is of the direct lineage, since he didn’t suffer any fatal wounds, Lady Gill let her off the hook. But with Jackson, it’s tantamount to causing disability, and the severity is completely different! Legally, the first is a fight, but the second is causing disability, which
carries different sentences!”
The rules of the Freeman Sect were different.
Beating a senior member, the most severe punishment was expulsion from the sect.
Beating a senior member and causing disability, then according to the rules of the martial arts community, all the injuries must be inflicted on the perpetrator before expelling them from the sect.
James, “What should we do? The Freeman Sect can’t
possibly expel my sister can they?”

Chris said, “Call her and tell her not to come at all
costs, then have your third uncle go to the Gill family to apologize, and get this matter settled…”
“Apologize for what?! There’s no way she will apologize!”
Trevor’s resounding voice came from outside the door,
and then he strode in.
