Chapter82
As soon as the lady of the house finished speaking, two maidservants immediately began searching our bodies, one from the left and the other from the right.
I stood expressionless.
He thought, if the thing that Grandma lost could be bought with money, then Ronan wouldn’t be so anxious. He could just spend money to buy another identical one.
This proves that the thing Grandma lost cannot be measured by money.
What could it be in the end?
I touched the jade bracelet under the cuff again, and my heart became
uneasy once more.
At that moment, the servant who was searching me arrived in front of
- mc.
“Ms. Duffy, please open your hands,” the servant said to me.
I pursed my lips and silently followed suit.
The servant searched me first, and then proceeded to feel my arms and wrists.
When she touched the bracelet, she paused for a moment, and then almost excitedly and anxiously flipped my cufl.
I furrowed my brows deeply, and a sudden wave of uneasiness surged in my heart.

Sure enough, the next second, the servant screamed excitedly.
“Here it is! The bracelet that the old lady lost is here!”
In an instant, everyone turned to look at me.
Those eyes, some were shocked, some were disdainful, and some were mocking and contemptuous.
The lady first paused for a second, then smirked triumphantly, “I knew it was her from the beginning, and she was still being stubborn!”
The servant pulled me and brought me in front of Ronan and the lady.
Then I lifted up the jade bracelet on my wrist to show everyone.
The unpleasant gossip around me kept coming and going.
my old lady
“It’s disgusting. Just now, she pretended to ask me what lost, and deliberately said it might have been taken by a guest to mislead us.”
“Oh my god, it was so disgusting, considering she used to be a wealthy young lady.”
“The young lady of the Duffy family is just a status, it does not.
represent character. If their character was good, why would they bully Mr. Reynaldo?”
“Why did Mr. Reynaldo have to bring her to the banquet? Isn’t this purely to disgust people?”
I looked at them and said in a deep voice, “This bracelet was not stolen by me, it was personally given to me by my grandmother!”
“Haha, this bracelet was passed down from the older generation. The old lady had said before that she would only give it to her favorite

daughter–in–law.”
What are you? You have already divorced Reynaldo, you are nothing. The old lady will give you this bracelet? Don’t joke around.
The lady said, as she walked up to me with her arms crossed, a mocking smile on her face, “Tsk tsk tsk… I can’t believe it, the Duffy family has fallen on hard times, resorting to petty theft now.”
“I didn’t!” I looked at her and Ronan calmly, “This was given to me by my grandmother. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her, or ask Reynaldo,”
Anyway, Reynaldo knew about the bracelet, and he even told me to keep it safe, so I wasn’t really worried.
But I still felt very strange in my heart..
This was clearly given to me by my grandmother, why would she say she lost it?
I lowered my gaze and a terrifying and sad speculation arose in my heart.
I hope it wasn’t as I thought.
Ronan quickly asked someone to bring Danielle over.
Before long, Danielle hobbled over with the help of a cane and the support of a servant.
“Did you find it? Did you find the bracelet I left for my daughter–in- law?”
Danielle looked excited.
My heart sank.

The bracelet was clearly given to me by her, why would she have this. reaction?
Ronan supported her and pointed at me, saying gently to her, “Mom, we found it. The bracelet is on her wrist, intact. You don’t need to worry.”
Danielle immediately looked at me.
I opened my mouth and wanted to shout at her.
However, she suddenly stumbled towards me, grabbing the bracelet on my wrist and exclaimed excitedly, “How did it end up in your hands? Take it off quickly, take it off! This is meant for my daughter–in–law, you need to take it off for me right away!”
The old lady in front of me was no longer as kind as before.
At that moment, she looked at me with a hint of disgust and disdain in her eyes.
I was completely confused, I didn’t understand what was happening at
all.
When my grandmother first saw me, she was so good and kind. Why is she like this now? At this moment, the lady smiled at Danielle and said, “Mom, you don’t know, she just said that this bracelet was given to her by you.”
