Chapter 996
Vicky, with her experience as a young lady of a wealthy family, could immediately tell that this bracelet
was of considerable value.
As she observed the heirloom piece, she found that the gemstones and diamonds on it possessed
extraordinary qualities in terms of color, type, and quality.
Vicky estimated the value of this bracelet to be at least 11.5 million.
An heirloom worth 11.5 million was a generous gift indeed, and this stirred up complex emotions within
Vicky.
âI canât accept this. Itâs too valuable,â she declined.
âFrom now on, you are a member of our family. Since we are a family, thereâs no need to be so polite,â
Old Madam Harrisons said.
âBut, Grandma, I really canât accept it.â
She and Elijah were only pretending to be engaged, so she could not possibly accept such a precious
bracelet.
âHow about you give this bracelet to me only after we get married, Grandma?â Vicky suggested.
âNo, you are the granddaughter-in-law I have chosen. This is a gift from me to you. Regardless of
whether you marry into our family or not, I will still give it to you,â Old Madam Harrisons insisted. âIf
Elijah finds another woman, I will never accept her.â
Moved by Old Madam Harrisonsâ words, Vicky felt both grateful and guilty. Elijahâs family was truly kind-
hearted, and she could not bear to deceive an elderly person who was nearing the end of her life.
At that moment, Elijah spoke up, âVicky, since Grandma wants you to accept it, you should just accept
it.â
Now that Elijah had spoken, Vicky could not refuse any longer.
âThank you, Grandma,â she said.
Old Madam Harrisons placed the bracelet on Vickyâs wrist and said, âThis bracelet represents our
familyâs protection. If anyone dares to bully you, feel free to come to me.â
Vicky smiled and agreed.
After leaving the house, Vicky took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and returned it to Elijah. âMister
Harrisons, I need to return this jade bracelet to you.â
Elijah shook his head. âThis is Grandmaâs gift to you. You should keep wearing it. If you visit Grandma
again and she notices that youâre not wearing it, she will definitely ask you about it.â
After a moment of consideration, Vicky nodded gently.â Alright, I will return this bracelet to you in three
months.â
Elijah did not complain and simply said, âLet me take you home.â
âThank you.â
As they sat in the car, Vicky remembered something. âMister Harrisons, thereâs something I forgot to
mention earlier.â
Elijah looked at her and asked, âWhat is it?â
âItâs about my ex-husbandâ¦â
Elijah waved his hand dismissively. âI already know about that. Donât worry, I can handle it.â
âThatâs not what I wanted to say.â Vickyâs gaze flickered. âI havenât told you who my ex-husband is.â
Assuming she was just an ordinary fashion designer, Elijah casually asked, âWho is your ex-husband,
then?â
âWell⦠Itâs Tyler Hart.â
Elijah frowned. âTyler Hart? Which Tyler Hart?â
âIâm sure youâve heard of him before.â
After a few moments, Elijah widened his eyes in shock.â Wait⦠Are you talking about âtheâ Tyler Hart?â
Vicky nodded in silence.
Elijah gasped and gaped at Vicky. âTyler Hart is your ex?â
âYeah.â
âYouâre not messing with me, are you?â
âDoes it look like Iâm joking?â
Elijah studied her face and paled, clearly feeling extremely troubled.
Sometime later, Elijah finally spoke.
