Chapter 12


    Mnie went back to the Harbour Vi.


    From a distance, Mnie saw Angie and the three kids watching her at the door.


    Mnie and the three kids hadn’t seen each other for almost a month since she came back to


    Zerivia, so she missed them very much.


    “Mommy!”


    As soon as the kids saw Mnie, Ethan and Elias immediately shouted and rushed to hug her.


    Elias held Mnie’s neck and wouldn’t let go. There were still tears hanging on his eyshes.


    “Do you miss Mommy?” Mnie asked.


    Mnie held Elias in her arms, kissed Ethan on the cheek, and then looked at Edward who kept


    quiet.


    “We miss you, Mommy. Do you miss us, too?” Elias said happily.


    “Yes, I do,” Mnie said.


    Mnie kissed Elias again and again and coaxed him.


    As soon as Mnie put Elias on the sofa, she saw Ethan holding a ss jar with a butterfly in it.


    “Ethan, show me what you’re holding, Mnie said.


    “Mommy, I’m waiting for the butterfly,” said Ethan.


    “What? Are you waiting for the butterfly?” Mnie was curious.


    “I locked up the butterfly. I am waiting for its mother, father, and brother to save it so that I can have


    many butterflies, Ethan exined.


    Hearing this, Mnie suddenly felt that as a mother, she didn’t know how to respond to Ethan at


    this moment.


    The three boys were different in personality, but they looked alike.


    However, they didn’t seem to take after her.


    Despite their tender age, their remarkable good looks outshone even those of child stars


    Edward was introverted and serene, while Ethan was smart and had an outstanding memory.


    Elias liked to adorable.

    Mnie really didn’t spend much effort taking care of the babies these years.


    There were so many people on the ind, and everyone liked the triplets. In the blink of an eye.


    they were all six years old.


    Looking at Mnie in a daze, Ethan came forward and hugged her, asking. “Mommy, aren’t you.


    happy?”


    Mnie torched his pretty face.


    “I am happy. I just think the butterfly will be unhappy if it can’t see its mommy,” Mnie said.


    Elias, who was eating candy seriously, suddenly said, “Daddy Butterfly will be unhappy too!”


    “Maybe.”


    Mnie was speechless when she heard her son’s serious words.


    She came back in a hurry not to talk about butterflies.


    “Mommy. I also want our daddy.” Elias finished eating the candy and pped his hands.


    “We can look for him when you grow up. Now go brush your teeth,” Mnie said.


    Mnie frowned and handed Elias to Angie.


    “I want him now!” Elias shouted.


    He wriggled in Angie’s arms unhappily.


    Mnie waved at Edward and beckoned him over.


    “Didn’t I tell you to wait for your Great–Grandpa to end his cultivation? Why did you follow me here?


    There is no suitable tutor here to teach you,” Mnie said.


    “Mommy, Great–Grandpa ended his cultivation as soon as you left,” Edward answered honestly.


    It was Mnie’s turn to be surprised.


    It would take at least a month for Zander to end his cultivation. Why did he end it as soon as


    Mnie left?


    “Forget it. I’ll let Luke take you home after a few days of y,” said Mnie.


    “Okay, Mommy.” Edward lowered his head in disappointment.


    Seeing that Edward was unhappy, Mnic hugged him and kissed his cheek.


    “I don’t have the energy to care about you here. When things are all settled, I will go back to


    apany you every day,” Mnie exined.


    “Honey, I love you. You are the most sensible boy. Please help Mommy take good care of your


    brothers,” Mnie said softly.


    “Okay,” Edward replied.,

    13:50 Sat, 2 Mar G F


    Mnic felt much relieved when Edward agreed to her request.


    Of these three kids, Edward was the most sensible and reliable one.


    At such a young age, Edward was precocious.


    If it weren’t for his pretty little face, people would have mistaken him for a CEO.


    After the three children calmed down, Angie inquired about the events of the previous evening.


    Knowing that Mnie had fallen out with Steve, Angie got outraged.


    “That’s good. You should have fallen out with him long ago. Your father has gone too far,” said


    Angie.


    Mnie dered, “I’ve ended my rtionship with him, and he will no longer be my father.”


    “I hope you really could, Angie said and sighed.


    “Anyway, it doesn’t make much difference whether he is your father or not, Angie added.


    “He didn’t want me first,” Mnie said.


    Mnie held her forehead and yed with the ne that had been torn off Vanessa’s neck.


    Suddenly, Mnie found something wrong with the ne.


    “It’s strange. The gloss of the connector seems weird,” Mnie murmured.


    Did Vanessa break the chain and rece it?


    Then Mnie took a magnifying ss to observe the ne connector.


    She found a few small words carved on the ne.


    “Thousand Snow Mountains!” Angic and Mnie read the words out loud.


    Both of them were a little surprised.


    Angie took out herputer and entered “Thousand Snow Mountains” into the search engine.


    “Got it!” After a while, Angie shouted.


    “But there is a different word. I only got Thousand Snowy Mountains,” Angie added.


    Mnie leaned closer to see the result.


    Why would there be such a slight difference?


    It didn’t seem to be a wrong name engraved into the ne.

    Mnie took a closer look at the materials of Thousand Snowy Mountains and found the


    introduction was very simple even without a picture.


    ording to the introduction, Thousand Snowy Mountains first appeared in a dynasty more than


    three thousand years ago.


    The legend had that someone named Wael painted it, but hundreds of years ago the painting was


    destroyed in a fire.


    It was strange that the name of something destroyed hundreds of years ago appeared on a modern


    ne.


    “Mnie, do you think Aunt Sherry has engraved the words on the ne?” Angie said curiously.


    “It’s possible. Mom was good at painting and carving. It was not difficult for her to do that,” Mnie


    said.


    But what exactly did the difference mean?


    If it was Sherry who engraved the words, why would she engrave a wrong word?


    If Sherry made the mistake on purpose, what did her action have to do with the long–gone


    painting?


    Mnie frowned and pondered. The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt.


    Angie didn’t take it seriously. She put the ne around Mnie’s neck and massaged Mnie’s


    shoulders, saying, “Mnie, you may be thinking too much. It’s just a painting that no one has ever


    seen before. Maybe it has nothing to do with Aunt Sherry.”


    That’s the only way to think about it,” Mnie said and nodded.


    “By the way, is there any news from Eric?” Mnie asked.


    Angie patted her forehead.


    “Oh, I almost forgot. Eric calledst night and said that he got the news about the red pearls!” Angie


    said excitedly.


    “Tell me, who is it?” Mnie asked.


    “He didn’t know who bought it, but it was bought by someone from Zerivia at a high price,” Angie


    replied.


    Mnic nced at Angie.


    “That’s it?” Mnie said with disappointment.


    “Well, at least it points us in a direction. Maybe the buyer has something to do with those who killed


    those gangsters, Angie said.


    As she spoke, she picked up a bunch of grapes and ate them.


    Hearing Angie’s words, Mnie said thoughtfully, “Do you mean Vanessa asked someone to set


    me. up and then let another group of people kill those gangsters and take away that string of red


    pearls?”

    “That’s right, Mnie. You said those people were from Solustria. Vanessa or her mother might


    have hired someone to kill them so that they wouldn’t be exposed afterward. So the killers might


    come from Zerivia. It makes sense,” Angie said.


    “But Vanessa and Tracy couldn’t do that with their abilities. They couldn’t afford the string of red


    pearls,” Mnie said.


    “What if Steve was also involved?” Angie asked.


    Angie seemed to believe that Steve must have something to do with the whole thing.


    Mnie was stunned.


    “It shouldn’t be possible. I am his daughter. How could he do that to me?” Mnie said in disbelief.


    Seeing Mnie’s pale face, Angie quickly changed the topic.


    “That’s right. Maybe Vanessa and Tracy asked someone else for help,” said Angie.


    “Maybe it was the Smith family. Tracy and Vanessa set me up because of my engagement to Ryan


    back then. Maybe there was something in between,” Mnie pondered and said.


    “It is very likely. The Smith family could do it. ording to the information, Owen Smith especially


    likes collecting such things,” Angie said.


    As Angie spoke, she looked through the information.


    “There is indeed a rumor. It seems that we need to meet Owenter,” said Mnie..


    As soon as Mnie finished speaking, Angie smiled and handed over the phone.


    “Jeff said your father came to Rising Star early this morning and said he wouldn’t leave until he saw


    you,” Angie said.


    “Ask Jeff to send the work here. I won’t go to Rising Star today,” Mnie said.


    Then Mnie began to check the information of the Smith family.


    Soon Jeff arrived.


    “Ms. Robertson, there is news that Vision Museum will collect an item at a high price in the


    uing spring auction,” reported Jeff.
