Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 696

Amber's words got Shonna's tongue, and her face contorted into an odd expression.

The bracelet was one of the Farrells' heirlooms that was specially passed to the heir's wife. Georgia kept it at the mansion.

And the mansion was heavily guarded. Who could steal it?

Would any thief wear the stolen goods openly?

But since it wasn't a stolen good, then this bracelet...

A terrible idea popped into Shonna's mind.

Her sagging face twitched as she asked, "Then tell me, how did you get this?"

Amber put down her hand and said indifferently, "Grandma gave it to me."

"That's impossible!" Shonna raised her voice several notches.

Amber cocked her head and covered her ears, complaining. "Gosh! What the hell's wrong with you!"

"You're lying." Shonna leaned to her agitatedly. "I know this's an heirloom for the heir's wife or daughter-in-law. You're neither of them. Why should Lady Georgia give it to you? You must be lying."

It was hard for Shonna to believe that.

This bracelet was supposed to be hers.

Why should Amber take it ahead of her?

So, Amber must have made this up by saying that Georgia had given it to her.

"What?" Amber was taken aback and then amused by Shonna's words. "Do you have any proof?"

"Should I? The bracelet is proof!" Shonna pointed at the bracelet on her wrist with a sinister look on her face. "The bracelet was passed down to the Farrell family's daughter-in-law. Who do you think you are? Georgia is stubborn. Why would she give it to you? It's impossible unless she's senile. Quickly give me the bracelet!"

She stretched out her hand in front of Amber to ask her for the bracelet.

Amber held the bracelet and took a step back. She glazed at Shonna and said, "Over my dead body. Grandma gives the bracelet to me, so it's mine. Any complaints, you should go to her. I can't help you."

"You..." Shonna didn't expect Amber to be so tough. Her body was shaking with rage. "Amber, are you going to give it to me or not?"

"No!" Amber blurted, giving a defiant look, "Shonna, I know what you're thinking. You want this bracelet because you're supposed to get this, even just as Jared's stepmother. Grandma didn't give it to you, so you've been coveting it. Now it must be incredibly stressful for you, right? The bracelet you've dreamed of is in my hand. And now you want to snatch it away. Am I right?"

Shonna's eyes widened in panic.

Amber had seen through her play.

But Shonna denied it and pointed at Amber's nose. "Complete nonsense!"

"We both know that it's true. Look at you! You're a green-eyed monster." Amber laughed mockingly. "You knew very well that Grandma did give me this bracelet, but you don't want to admit it. Otherwise, you won't have an excuse to falsely accuse me of stealing. Shonna, do you still want to deny it while we're at it?"

Shonna's face turned interestingly ashen.

She gripped her hands to stay composure. After a while, she snorted at Amber. "So what? I have a choice in how I view the situation. You must have wheedled Lady Georgia into giving the bracelet to you while she was sick."

Amber rolled her eyes impatiently. "Shonna, you're quite good at making up stories," she made a 'quote' gesture, and continued, "Grandma came to the hospital because she had a heart attack, not brain damage. She keeps her head clear. By the way, before yesterday, I didn't even see this bracelet. So, tell me, how did I wheedle her?"

Shonna blinked and flinched. But the next second, she reached out her hands intimidatingly. "Who cares about how you did that? Anyway, you have to give it to me."

She would never stop until she got the bracelet.

But Amber didn't yield to her.
