Georgia's face fell when she saw this.
She patted the blanket hard and chided coldly, "Shonna, why are you looking at Amber like this? What kind of evil plan are you thinking about?"
Shonna winced inwardly at her harsh tone. Then she said with a sheepish smile, "Mother, what are you saying? Why would I do that?"
"Well, you might want to do that," Georgia sneered.
Shonna ducked her head and stared at the ground.
She'd better keep her mouth shut at this moment.
Watching as Shonna looked like a slave in front of Georgia, her eyes crinkled into a gloating smile.
When Shonna saw this, she was furious. "Amber, what are you..."
"What are you doing?" Georgia patted the blanket again.
Shonna was deflated, but she pointed at Amber and complained, "Mother, she just laughed at me."
"Isn't this funny?" Georgia studied her with a critical gaze. "You're completely a joke. It's weird if people don't laugh at you."
"Mother, how could you say that?" Shonna widened her eyes, "I'm Hendrik's wife!"
"Amber is Jared's wife. If you dare to pick on her, I will kick your ass. You are not as important to me as Amber. Keep that in mind!" Georgia looked at her sinisterly.
It was hurt. Shonna stared at Amber with a tear in her eye. " Jared's wife? Mother, have you lost your mind? She's not. You even gave her that bracelet. I think you're really..."
"Oh, thank you for reminding me," Georgia suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Shonna's heart skipped a beat. "What?"
"Amber, come here," Georgia gestured for Amber to sit.
Amber put the prescription aside and sat down by her bedside. "Grandma."
"Amber, you have to be honest. Did she want to snatch your bracelet?" Georgia learned from Amber.
"Well..." Amber looked at her lap as if she was in a dilemma. "Grandma, I'd better not say anything. She's Jared's mother. I..."
Georgia comforted her, "It's alright. She's just a stepmother. I got your back if Jared blames you on this."
"Fine," Amber nodded and lowered her eyelids to hide the craftiness in her eyes. Then, she put on a wry smile, "I met Mrs. Farrell in the elevator. She kept accusing me of stealing when she saw the bracelet in my hand. No matter how many times I had explained it to her, she didn't believe that. She even said you're a sick old fool. Grandma, you give this to me, right? Tell her, please."
She sounded pitiful and convincing, making people grow to be protective.
But only Amber knew how gross this was.
She didn't expect she would act like a disgusted bitch someday.
"Yes, Grandma will explain this to her." Georgia stroked Amber's hair with a gentle expression.
When she turned to Shonna, the gentleness on her face disappeared and was shifted into hatred. "How dare you snatch the bracelet I give Amber?"
"No, Mother, don't believe her." Shonna pointed at Amber in panic. "I'm not stealing the bracelet. She doesn't deserve the bracelet because she wasn't even Jared's wife. I just want to take it back. Anyway, this belongs to our family. Mother, how could you just give it away like this? This's an heirloom!"
"Do you think I would give it to you?" Georgia raised her eyebrows and interrupted her.
