Mirabella paused for a moment, then shrugged casually, "Consider it your birthday gift." Newest update provided by F?nd-Novel.net

Nick's brow furrowed, even though those three tokens held deep significance. He should be happy, but—

"My birthday's in October."

And right now, it's only May.

Nick's expression turned more and more exasperated.

Seriously, giving a birthday present during the crucial heir voting? That was just a lame excuse!

Mirabella stayed silent for a couple of seconds, then looked at him with a playful smirk, "Well, Nick, just think of it as an early present?"

This way, she could skip this year's birthday shopping.

Nick: "Really?"

Mirabella looked away, saying, "I'm gonna check on Chester upstairs."

She absentmindedly ran her fingers over the black box she was holding and shot a glance at Nellie.

Their eyes met for just a moment before Nellie stood up, "Chester's medicine should be ready by now. I'll fetch it."

Mirabella nodded slightly, giving a soft "mm."

In no time, the two of them headed upstairs.

Nick stayed put, watching them vanish up the stairs, a weird feeling settling in his chest.

Why did it feel like Nellie and his sister were already familiar with each other? Nick squinted in suspicion.

*Mirabella and Nellie reached the top of the stairs, seemingly in sync, and instead of heading to Jim's room, they made their way to the glasshouse on the second- floor balcony.

Inside the glasshouse was a cozy setup with wicker chairs, and the coffee table was immaculate. As the sky darkened, the full moon peeked out casting a gentle glow that mixed with the warm orange lights creating a vibe of serene mystery.

Nellie placed the porcelain bowl she was holding on the coffee table, and soon the rich aroma of herbal medicine filled the space She looked at Mirabella, waiting for her to spill the beans. Mirabella banded the box directly to Nellie.

"What's this?" Nellie barely touched the black box when its cool surface sent a shiver through her.

She quickly opened the box, and her eyes widened at the sight of the black gemstone inside. "Where did you find this black gemstone?"

She had searched high and low for it before, even through the most secure channels, but had found no trace of the black gemstone.

She hadn't expected this kid to find it so quickly.

Mirabella glanced at Nellie, then closed the box before speaking, "I found the gem

in a floating crypt."

Nellie was taken aback, "A floating crypt?"

"Yep." Mirabella nodded, thought for

a moment, then pulled out her

phone tupping to t

the photos she'd

taken in the crypt Check oubthis

pattern."

Nellie took the phone, and upon seeing the familiar pattern, her eyes widened, and her expression shifted dramatically.

Mirabella watched Nellie's reaction intently, then prodded, "This pattern looks just like the one in the family's forbidden area."

Nellie collected herself and handed the phone back to Mirabella, "You've been to the forbidden area?"

"I stumbled in by accident once," Mirabella said softly.

Nellie was quiet for a while, then nodded, "Yeah, this pattern is definitely the same

as in the forbidden area. But where exactly is this crypt?"

Mirabella described the crypt's location, "It's already sunk now."

"Sunk?" Nellie was slightly taken aback.

"Yeah, after I took the gemstone out, it sank," Mirabella's eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly recalling the shadow she had seen in the crypt.
