Chapter 204
When she said that, she handed the bracelet she had scammed from Albert. The marbling of the bracelet was gorgeous, but since it was a million-dollar item, it looked inferior to the twenty million bracelet. However, Stella could not care too much. Regardless of anything, she could not allow Dahlia to bid for the bracelet.
“Mom, you should try it. If it’s not suitable, I can pick another one for you,” Stella said.
Dahlia’s expression could not be considered as happy. Stella gave her the bracelet right when she was about to bid for the bracelet, not a moment earlier or later. If she did not accept it, it would spread rumors about their terrible relationship as in-laws. If Dahlia took it with Cordelia present, as the mother-in-law, Dahlia had to gift something back as a sign of affection. Otherwise, Cordelia would think that she lacked etiquette as a daughter-in-law.
Besides, whether she accepted it or not, Stella had gifted her the bracelet first. So, if she went up to bid for the bracelet, everyone would assume that she did not like the item Stella had given her. Hence, she would bid for the bracelet.
After Stella brought out the item, sure enough, Cordelia said, “It’s a sign of the child’s sincerity. You should try and see if you like it.”
Dahlia felt her pent-up frustration but could only smile and take it.
Coincidentally, the bracelet’s size fitted perfectly, and it seemed as though it was bought just for Dahlia.
Cordelia praised Stella. “Stella has a good eye. It really suits you.”
Dahlia gave an uneasy chuckle. “Her taste has always been good. I really like this bracelet.”
Since Cordelia had commented, numerous other madams also praised her. “Mrs. Kane, your daughter-in-law is really filial, and her tastes are inexplicable. The bracelet you are wearing is stunning.”
