Chapter56
The bustling trallic outside the car window slowly turned into the quiet night sky. They drove up the mountain, and everything around them was dark and silent.
She seemed to see her mother’s face.
She finally understood why Caroline became a legend, not because of her extraordinary talent and vision.
More is the persistence and no regrets of the original intention.
The car arrived at the mine, and the guard outside the gate stopped Julissa
Julissa had her speech prepared long ago.
“I just came over with Mr. Diaz. He left something behind, so I came to help him get it.”
The guard thought Julissa looked familiar, so he let her in after thinking for a moment.
At night, the mining area was sparsely populated, even though there were lights on the road, but the night sky was too vast, and all that could be seen was still dark.
Julissa was familiar with the terrain and excelled at mountain climbing.
We arrived at our destination soon.
She carefully climbed onto the softest patch of soil, which was looser
at this moment than during the day. If she wasn’t careful, she might step on it and fall down.
Julissa dared not even breathe, approaching step by step. When she saw the stone, the excitement in her heart completely overwhelmed the fear.
A stone stood upright on the ground, and its dark surface was shining with an oily luster under the moonlight.
In Julissa’s eyes, that stone was like a bewitching tool that confused the mind, drawing her closer step by step.
Julissa squatted down slowly, carefully moving away the sand around the stone, watching as its buried face from a hundred years ago slowly revealed itself.
Julissa was moving very slowly, so the stone was buried too deep.
Her fingers had started to swell, but she continued to dig with all her might.
She was so focused, so focused that she didn’t even notice the footsteps behind her.
Not until a huge black shadow loomed over her did Julissa turn around
in terror.
“Really stubborn.”
The man’s deep voice suddenly cut through the quiet night, sharp yet still carrying a hint of softness.
Julissa suddenly withdrew her hand, looking somewhat bewildered under Reece’s gaze.
“I… I won’t bring trouble to the Diaz Group…” Julissa’s mind was in a

whirl, afraid that Recce would drive her away. She hurriedly
explained. “You can record it! I will make it clear that my actions have nothing to do with the Diaz Group!”
Reece suddenly sighed, his handsome brows furrowed tightly, clouded over with no room for compromise.
“Get up.”
Julissa knew Reece’s temper, what he wouldn’t allow, and if she persisted in challenging him, the outcome would only be worse.
She stood up slowly.
The disappointment in my heart expanded infinitely.
She thought it was all over, but the next moment, she saw Reece crouch down.
He had already rolled up his sleeves and continued digging in the spot. where Julissa had just dug.
Julissa’s lips parted slightly, for a moment she didn’t know how to
react.
For a long time, she finally spoke in disbelief.
“Reece, you…”
“Get a flashlight.”
Reece’s voice was as cold and indifferent as ever, but at that moment, it lacked the usual touch of chilliness.
‘s bowing Julissa couldn’t see Reece’s expression at the moment. He his head, digging intently, his black short hair hanging down by his ears, looking a bit disheveled. He was far from his usual noble and

aloof self.
But at this moment, Reece in Julissa’s heart is greater than any moment in the past three years.
Julissa hurried to get a flashlight and rushed back, squatting next to Reece, carefully helping him light up the field of vision.
Reece was stronger and much faster than Julissa, but still couldn’t see the bottom.
Reece stopped what he was doing, his eyebrows furrowed.
“The stone was too deep.”
Julissa was a little nervous. It had come to this point, and she was afraid that Reece would force her to leave.
“It’s almost done, we should be able to dig it out soon.” Julissa hurriedly spoke, “If you’re tired, take a rest on the side, I’ll do it.”
Seeing Julissa like this. I knew that this girl’s emotions had tightened up again.
“I didn’t say I was going to give up.”
Reece looked around at the surroundings of the stone, saying,
“Go find a stick.”
Julissa immediately realized.
“Oh, right! Why didn’t I think of that.”
You can use a stick to probe the depth. If there isn’t much left you can just use the stick to pry it out.
Julissa excitedly got up and took a few steps before hearing the man

behind her coldly reminding her.
“Walk softly!”
