Chapter 540



No one had expected such a turn of events.

Saniya still wore the bracelet around her wrist. From the moment she first laid eyes on it, she had been captivated.

The bracelet was crafted from pink jade crystals, radiating a natural purity, untouched by artificial dyes. The jade’s value was immeasurable, and crafted into such an exquisite piece, the bracelet only heightened its rarity and allure.

The bracelet featured intricate, miniature unicorns, each one painstakingly crafted with remarkable attention to detail. Despite their small size, the tiny figures exuded a sense of exquisite craftsmanship.

Kallie immediately noticed that the bracelet wasn’t part of the original jewelry set. Jake must have had it customized specifically for her.

Kallie approached Saniya with a subtle smile. “Miss Mason, don’t you think it’s time to return the box to its rightful owner?”

Saniya’s eyelashes fluttered as she instinctively took a step back. Her face flushed with distress, her eyes brimming with tears, as though she were on the verge of breaking down.

With everyone watching, she had no choice but to remove the bracelet and hand it over to Kallie. Then, before anyone could speak, Saniya turned and fled, her sobs echoing behind her, leaving Kallie no opportunity to ask further questions.

Elaine felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

Saniya had previously gifted Elaine a necklace in front of everyone. Now, Elaine was mortified, realizing that the elegant piece wasn’t even Saniya’s to give.

Elaine fumbled with the clasp, her hands trembling as she pulled it off. “I… I’m so sorry, Miss Nixon. I didn’t know it was yours.”

Kallie didn’t reach for the necklace and replied calmly, “Since it was given to you, I have no reason to take it back.”

Elaine shook her head. “No, I really can’t accept it. It doesn’t feel right.”

But Kallie’s gaze remained steady on Elaine, her refusal to take the necklace still clear.

Caught in the tension, Elaine hesitated, her face flushing with embarrassment. She felt utterly lost, unsure whether to hold onto it or put it away.

Debbie stepped in to defuse the tension, leaning closer to whisper to Elaine. “Miss Webster, it looks like there’s been a misunderstanding. Maybe you should explain things to Sophie? Regardless of who ends up with the necklace, it’s important to clear things up with Sophie. She’s been wronged in all this.”

Elaine frowned, her voice tinged with frustration. “But these are two separate issues.”

Kallie smiled faintly, gesturing toward the logo on the box. “If you look closely, you’ll see the brand from the Turner Group, which I own. I’ve given my daughter plenty of these items, but she’s too young to wear them. Do you really think she’d be jealous over some leftover earrings or brooches and snatch them from Saniya?”

Elaine struggled to find a response.
