Chapter 275 It’s Safer In Your Hands
+15 BONUS
In the past, when she was at her most helpless, it was Hans who extended his hand to help her. Now, it was her turn to repay the
kindness.
“Well, well.” Hans, his body supported by a cane, trembled slightly from excitement.
Fernando, watching Maia, also nodded in approval.
Hans beckoned to Maia. “My girl, come here, help me inside.”
Maia quickly approached, supporting Hans. Following that, Hans instructed Fernando, ” Fernando, tidy up the pavilion, disinfect
everywhere Rita sat, and open the pond valve. I don’t want her germs contaminating my beautiful pond.”
“Yes,
sir,” Fernando responded promptly, immediately attending to the tasks.
Maia continued to assist Hans towards the living room.
“My girl, come upstairs with me,” Hans said, beckoning Maia and pressing the elevator
button. Feeling the gravity in Hans’s tone, Maia knew he must have something important to discuss with her. She swiftly followed
Hans into the elevator.
Upon reaching the second floor, Maia accompanied Hans into the study on the east side of the second floor. “Close the door,”
Hans instructed.
Maia nodded and closed the door. Hans walked towards a porcelain vase, turning the blue and white porcelain with his hand: left
three turns, right one turn. Soon, the bookshelf moved slowly, revealing a hidden compartment. Hans walked forward and
pressed the button on the side of the hidden compartment. It opened, revealing a safe..

Maia was slightly stunned. She had not expected Hans to perform this series of actions in front of her. Immediately, Maia spoke,
“Grandpa, should I step outside?”

Hans shook his head. “No need. Stay here.”
“Grandpa, should I close the curtains?”
Maia’s intuition told her that the contents of the safe were incredibly valuable, beyond imagination. Hans chuckled at Maia’s
concern. “You’re more careful than me. Don’t worry, this glass is special, and you can’t see through it from the outside.”
Upon hearing Hans’s assurance, Maia nodded. When Hans entered the password, Maia still lowered her head.
“My girl, come closer.”
Maia walked toward him. “Grandpa.”
She noticed the wooden box in Hans’s hand. If she was not mistaken, it was quite expensive as

“Do you recognize the material of this box?” Hans noticed the change in Maia’s expression.
“It’s small leaf rosewood, right?” Maia replied.
Hans praised her, “You have a good eye for detail. You always surprise me with your brilliance.

Well done.”
Then, Hans spoke again, “Small leaf rosewood is the king of wood, with an extremely low yield. It has a unique sandalwood
scent and is extremely precious. Because of its value, it can match the contents of this box. Rita is just a decorative pillow. Her
selfish and self–serving nature is evident. How could I let such a precious thing fall into her hands?”
As Hans spoke, he opened the small leaf rosewood box, revealing a jade tablet inside.
“Come, my girl, take a look at this jade tablet.” Hans handed the jade tablet to Maia.
Maia felt the fine and warm texture of the nephrite, which had a slight resistance as if it was about to melt away.
“They say white jade is easy to find, but a flawless jade tablet is hard to come by. With top- notch quality, a flawless and delicate
texture, this jade tablet is truly rare.”
Hearing Maia’s words, Hans once again showed appreciation. “Very good. While gold has a price, jade is priceless. This jade
tablet is a priceless treasure, but its value is not just in its price.”

Hans looked at Maia, his expression and tone becoming more serious. “My girl, do you know why Rita came today? Although
you weren’t inside the pavilion, you must have heard something.”
As Hans spoke, he lowered his head to look at the jade tablet in his hand and said again, “She came for this jade tablet. My son
may be mediocre, but he would never have revealed such a big secret to Rita. I don’t know how she found out, but she actually
knows that I have something that can determine the fate of the Larkin family.”
At this point, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

“Grandpa...” Maia did not understand why Hans was telling her this. This was the Larkin family’s secret, and she was just an
outsider.
“My girl, listen to me. I know you hate Rita to the core, so I didn’t stop you from tormenting her earlier. I also understand that you
did what you did for me. However, although Rita is detestable, some of the things she said to me just now were true.”
Hans sighed, looking at Maia with a heavy heart. “I’m getting old, and indeed...”
“Grandpa! Please don’t say that!” Maia quickly interrupted Hans.

Hans, however, smiled and waved his hand, “I’m old now, and no longer as useful as before. My memory comes and goes. This
jade tablet, rather than being significant for the Larkin family, is more crucial for Cedric. For him, this thing is of utmost
importance!”
Hans’s expression became serious again. “I’m entrusting this jade tablet to you. Please protect it for me. Rita already knows that
the jade tablet is in my possession, and keeping it with me is no longer safe.”
“Grandpa, how can you give such a valuable thing to me? I have no connection to the Larkin family anymore. I cannot be
responsible for such an important item. I can do anything else you ask, but for something this significant, I really can’t be...”
Hans wanting to entrust such an important item to her made Maia anxious.
Hans seemed somewhat shocked, “You no longer have a connection to the Larkin family? How is that possible?”
Maia nodded. “It’s true. Grandpa, for your sake, Fernando has been keeping this from you. I divorced Cedric over a year ago. It’s
just one of the things that you had forgotten about.”
“I don’t know why you two got divorced, but I can see that Cedric still has feelings for you. I know my grandson, he’s good at
hiding things, but when it comes to you, he truly doesn’t want to hide anything. Also, to be frank, if you have no ties to the Larkin
family, it will be safer in your hands.”
