186 First Day In School Again!

Nelida noticed the gazes of the King and Queen on her.  Her heart skipped a bit.  Was she too obvious?

Amaya looked at her Aunt Nelida and gave her a truthful answer.  "Marx did not want to admit it but I think he spent some of his own money, especially, on the construction of the Secret Garden.  But Auntie, the money I spent on the island is mine."

"Sister, so the rumor that you are the richest woman in the world is true?  Is it also true that you brought a lot of treasures from that island?"  Donello asked.  He did not have any ill intentions when he asked the question.

"The rumor is not true.  But yes, I brought some treasures.  Marx helped me sell some of those to buy Verde Island and the rest, I used to make jewelry.  If not for the volcano erupting, then we could have gotten more."
