Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 534

After the Crawford family departed, the wind blew away the cloth that covered the stone, revealing a brilliant purple hue.

While on patrol, Dexter stumbled upon the exposed jadeite.

“Don’t expose your wealth…” he murmured. Spotting Margaret with sauerkraut, he took the white plastic film she intended to use as a cover and wrapped it around the boulder.

Margaret protested, “Hey… what are you doing? I need that for pickling the sauerkraut!”

Looking at the stone once again, Dexter said that the shape of the stone resembled a horned creature, making it rather unsightly.

“Don’t you still have two jars? You can dry the mustard greens on the stone later. It’ll be clean and convenient,” Dexter suggested.

Margaret remained silent.

This was no ordinary stone and yet, he was telling her to dry the mustard greens on them?

Jack had explicitly mentioned that the stone was worth hundreds of millions and that they were searching for a skilled artist to carve it, so they had to be careful around it.

“For such a valuable item, it will attract thieves. Using it to dry mustard greens is the right thing to do so that it won’t attract thieves.” Dexter explained.

Margaret sighed, she was speechless.

Under Dexter’s guidance, Margaret eventually placed a large bucket of mustard greens out in the sun.

“Well, forget about it. dried mustard greens are delicious!” Margaret remarked, gazing at them with satisfaction.

Edward kept the broken fragment in his room and not only covered the missing corner with white plastic film but also placed two mustard greens on top.

“That’s great!” Margaret said, wiping her hands on her apron before resuming her work.

Outside the Crawford Mansion, a black car drove past slowly.

Meanwhile, a drone flew above Crawford Mansion.

Inside the black car, one person voiced their concern, “We can’t see if you’re flying the drone too high! Can’t you lower the drone a bit?”

Another person replied, “We’ll be spotted if we fly too low. Just hurry up and fly over there and get out of here.”

This area has strict surveillance, and drones could not fly around casually, even if they flew at lower altitudes. The thieves had to approach discreetly, and since they had been there for a while, they found an opportunity to carry out their plans.

Unbeknownst to others, this was a gang of thieves from Southbank.

The thieves heard about the news that the Crawford family owned a priceless jade and they were finding suitable accomplices to rob them.

This group of people had been staking out the location for several days, patiently waiting for the Crawford family to leave.

After the black car passed by, the footage captured by the drone was uploaded to a computer.

The thieves examined the video and photos with anticipation. One of them commented, “It’s said to be a large stone… I believe it must be hidden in the main building.”

He pointed towards the main building of the Crawford residence.

“Our problem right now is that we don’t know what the stone looks like. We’ve checked all the surveillance cameras, but there’s no evidence of the stone being transported back here…”
