Nancy blinked but did not reach out to accept the gift, "A gratitude gift? No need for that. Since you've already told me about the importance of that book, I naturally won't show it to others or teach them how to weave knots. Please take it back."

"That's not acceptable!"

Micheal lifted his chin, and the aura of Young Master Micheal of The Thompson family instantly emerged, "A gift from The Thompson family should never be returned! Moreover, this is a task given to me by my grandfather. If I fail to complete it, I'll be punished when I return."

The jade pendant, in terms of both design and color, was of exceptional quality.

Moreover, Nancy also remembered the old man's shop she visited in Taurus, where even a simple jade bracelet cost hundreds of thousands. How much more valuable must this palm-sized, beautifully colored jade pendant be?

"No, no, no."

Nancy waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't accept it, really. It's too valuable. Tell your grandfather that I will keep my promise, and that's enough to reassure him."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Micheal frustratingly grabbed Nancy's hand and solemnly stuffed the jade pendant into it.

"I don't care, this jade pendant is my mission, and you must keep it. Even if you don't want it, you can return it to my grandfather when you see him later."

"This..."

Nancy really didn't want to accept the jade pendant, but Charlie raised his hand to stop her from returning it, pressing the pendant firmly into her palm.

"Since it's someone's kindness, just keep it."

"Husband..."

Nancy wanted to say more, but Charlie smiled gently, "It's okay, I'm here."

Having no other choice, Nancy accepted the jade pendant.

"Young Master Micheal."

After they sat down on the sofa, Charlie asked again, "Was the car accident today really not your doing?"

"Upon my honor!"

Micheal, frustrated, raised his hand to his forehead, "If my grandfather or I wanted to harm Nancy, why would I give her such a valuable jade pendant? You should know this pendant..."

He suddenly stopped, waved his hand dismissively, "Anyway, it definitely wasn't me. And that person is too despicable, committing such an act and then framing me. Damn, I got beaten for nothing. If I find out who it was, I'll skin them alive!"

Actually, Charlie, Henry, and Nancy also realized that Micheal wasn't behind the incident.

Charlie nodded, "So you're packing your things... are you going back?"

"Not really."

Micheal glanced at Nancy meaningfully, smiling, "Grandfather said that many elders in the family want to return to their roots, so he asked me to lead the way in Henriana. After I settle things here, the family elders will gradually return."

"The Thompson family is coming back?"

This news shocked Charlie greatly!

"Sort of."

Micheal knew why Charlie was shocked and explained with a smile, "Mr. Firth, don't worry, my family, The Thompson family, is not targeting the Firth Family. Besides, grandfather told me to make sure to befriend you and Nancy. Maybe... one day in the future, we could be..."

One family!

Of course, he didn't say it outright but laughed it off, "As businessmen, having one more partner opens up another path. In the future, we hope Mr. Firth will take good care of The Thompson family in Henriana!"
