Chapter 648

Among the eight brothers, except for Alan, the other Bass brothers, including the usually cold and indifferent Levi, all looked curious and puzzled, wondering why Harriet had suddenly called them together. “Yvonne, did you call us together for something? Did someone bully you again? We’ll help you seek revenge!”
Henry, the doting brother, was the first to speak.
Alan’s gaze towards Harriet was unexpectedly deep, his expression inscrutable but showing a hint of curiosity similar to the rest of his brothers’.
“Yes, Yvonne, please tell us.”
Harriet sat with Delbert in the center of the eight brothers, smiled mysteriously, then took a bag containing jewel pendants from Delbert’s hands.
Skipping the pleasantries, she took out nine pieces of jewel pendants carved from precious gem stones from the bag.
The carvings were no less exquisite than those of top-notch master carvers.
Seeing the surprised expressions on all eight brothers’ faces, Harriet proudly handed each of them one of the jewel pendants. “Brothers, from purchasing the gem stones to the final carving and polishing, Delbert and I personally completed all of these.” At this point, Harriet’s expression suddenly became very serious.
“Since I arrived at Imperium, you’ve always taken care of me. Recently at the family banquet, you gave me the most precious gift.
“After receiving a precious gift, I also want to give you something in return. Although I know that no matter how valuable the gift is, it cannot repay your help and care for me at Imperium.” She raised her head slowly, her voice slightly choked with emotion.
Seeing their beloved sister suddenly in tears, the Bass brothers felt a pang in their hearts.
“Yvonne, don’t cry. You’re our sister. It’s our duty to protect you!”
“Yes, we’re even willing to protect you for a lifetime!”
Seeing that, Justin and Oliver quickly comforted Harriet, followed by the others.
Even Levi, who usually didn’t say much, was somewhat at a loss this time.
As they tried to console her, Harriet’s tears continued to fall uncontrollably.
As a result, the brothers became flustered and scrambled to comfort her.
Watching from the side, Delbert sighed resignedly because he knew that Harriet was crying out of joy and would soon be comforted.
This situation allowed the Bass brothers to experience what it felt like to be at a loss when faced with Harriet’s tears.
“Harriet, dear, please don’t cry.”
Delbert gently rubbed Harriet’s head with tenderness in his eyes.
Finally, it was Arthur who spoke up and gradually calmed down the chaotic scene.
Clutching tightly onto the jewel pendant in his hand, Arthur looked different from his usual aloofness.
He said earnestly, “Yvonne, you’re our only and unique sister, our only family. Our help and care are what you deserve. And I owe you an apology. I failed to protect you properly when you were young in Agral City.”
Harriet was stunned.
Although she had learned from her brothers that she was born in Agral City and grew up there, she couldn’t remember anything about her childhood.
Why would her brothers say they didn’t protect her well in Agral City?
What exactly happened back then in Agral City?
