The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Renee hurried over upon hearing Margaret and saw a green carved jade lying in the deep hole. She picked up the jade and brushed away the dirt to examine it more carefully.

The jade was bright green and translucent. There was no trace of impurities, and it was cool to touch. Judging from the exquisite carvings on the gemstone, she knew immediately it was a priceless antique.

Margaret stared at the ornament in confusion. “This is strange. Since when was such valuable jade buried in the backyard? Hasn’t anyone discovered this before? Could it be that someone sneaked in and buried this here after the fall of the Everheart

family?”

Renee frowned as she tried to figure out an answer, and that was when her eyes were drawn to the pattern carved on the jade.

She had a feeling that she had seen this pattern before.

“I don’t think so.”

Margaret carefully recalled the past. “I have been guarding this house diligently since the incident. It’s impossible that anyone got in. Even if someone took the opportunity of my brief absence to sneak in and bury this, I would have noticed it. Anyway. who would hide such a high–grade jade in someone else’s backyard? Has he nothing better to do?”

Renee nodded in agreement.

Margaret was a meticulous person. There was no way she would not have found it if someone had touched the soil of the

backyard.

So, a stronger possibility would be that this jade was buried in the backyard for a long time, but no one had ever found it.

“Margaret, I feel familiar with this pattern but can’t remember where I have seen it before. Do you have any impression of it?”

“Let me take a look at it.”

Margaret even put on her glasses to see it clearly.

She looked at it carefully for a while and then suddenly remembered something. “I’ve seen this pattern before. When you were born, you were wrapped in a quilt. The embroidery of the lining is exactly the same as this. It resembles a combination of the

phoenix and the red spider lily!”

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I remember it now.”

Renee had superb visual memory. She could remember almost everything she had seen.

She had a glance at the quilt when packing up her mother’s belongings. She locked it in a box with her parents‘ stuff and carried it wherever she went.

“So it seems this belongs to Mrs. Everheart.” Margaret said. But feeling that something was off, she added, “But if this belongs to her, why did she bury it here instead of passing it on to you?”
