Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 248

"Yes, your father is right. We need to watch over it carefully. Although this gem may be valuable, keeping something of this value around might bring us great trouble!" Serena cautioned.

Hearing how much James and Serena cared about his safety, Hayden felt a surge of warmth in his heart. A gentle smile spread across his face as he slightly shook his head.

"Dad, Mom, there's no need to watch over it. You guys just rest. No one's going to steal it! On our way back, we intentionally had the driver take a roundabout route. Moreover, that driver is a professional. He didn't see anyone following us," Hayden explained.

"Alright, stop arguing. I'll keep watch tonight, okay?" Jenny offered eagerly, her eyes practically sparkling as they looked at them.

"You little brat. Did you think we don't know you just want to stay up all night watching TV? If you dare pull an all-nighter, I'll spank you so hard you won't be sitting for a week!" Serena scolded, glaring at her sternly.

"No fair! Why do you guys get to stay up late and I don't?" Jenny pouted angrily.

"No one's staying up late. We'll put the gem in the kitchen cabinet by the sink. No one will ever think of finding it there," Hayden quickly interjected.

"Alright, then." James and Serena finally agreed.

"Where do you plan to sell this gem?" James asked out of curiosity.

"The Prima Auction House. I just checked it online. The review looks good!" Hayden explained without giving it much thought.

"Oh…" James nodded, making a mental note to himself.

"How do you plan to spend the 300 million? You bought so many houses the last time you won the lottery. Now that you got another big sum of cash, you must not spend it thoughtlessly, alright?

"You're still young and inexperienced. Make sure you don't reveal your wealth, okay?" Serena cautioned thoughtfully.

"I know. I won't make myself an obvious mark for others to target. I'll save up the money in the bank for now. I've already made some plans. While on summer break, I'll use some of the money to form a guild, then develop a career making short videos," Hayden told them his plans.

"A pretty woman, huh? If she's around the same age, maybe you can consider her as a potential girlfriend," Serena joked.

"Let the kids settle their affairs. If Hayden likes her, he'll make a move himself!" James teased.

They had long known about Christina and had also investigated her background. After learning that she was also a student with decent grades and got into a good university, they weren't against it.

They were quite happy with a down-to-earth young woman like that.

"Nonsense! Hayden won't be interested in her!" Jenny protested right away, feeling a little anxious.

"We're going off-topic. Let's hurry up and eat!" Feeling exasperated, Hayden quickly urged them to focus on the meal.
