Vincent was the first to break the silence. He looked at the bracelet for a long moment. Then he gently patted Iris on the head.

“You don’t like it?” he asked softly. “Next time, I’ll ask what you want before I buy anything.”

Chloe stared in disbelief. She’d waited all this time for him to get angry-—or at least look upset.

Instead, his expression had grown gentler than usual. If anything, there was even a trace of… guilt.

‘How is that the reaction?‘

Still unwilling to give up, she pressed on. “Iris, Vincent really doesn’t like it when people regift his presents. Next time you should-”

“It’s fine.” Vincent interrupted her calmly. “Once I’ve given something to Iris, it belongs to her. She has every right to do whatever she wants with it.”

He took the bracelet, placed it back into the jewelry box, and gently pushed it toward Bella.

Even so, Iris could sense the faint disappointment hidden beneath his calm expression.

She picked the bracelet back up.

“Brother, this isn’t the one you gave me.”

Holding it up beneath the light, she pointed to the gemstone.

“This is from Harry Winston’s new secondary line. The packaging is nearly identical, and the design is very similar, but there are plenty of differences if you look closely–especially the quality of the gemstone. It’s also much more appropriate for Bella’s income level.”

If someone wore jewelry that cost far more than their salary could reasonably afford, it would inevitably invite gossip.

Vincent examined it more carefully.

She was right.

The boxes looked almost identical, but the bottom of this one bore the logo of the secondary brand, and the gemstone itself clearly belonged to a different price tier.

Thank goodness… Iris doesn’t dislike the gift I gave her after all.

Chloe’s scheme had completely fallen apart. She clenched her fists as she watched the harmonious atmosphere between the three of them.

How did it suddenly become the secondary line? I’d already had the robot swap the boxes, and I even checked afterward.‘

Once Bella heard the explanation about the price, she finally relaxed and accepted the gift.

Looking toward Chloe, she whispered, “President Zero… your sister doesn’t seem very happy.”

Vincent followed her gaze.

Chloe had turned to look at the decorations around the office. Her expression wasn’t exactly unpleasant, but all the excitement she’d shown that morning had completely disappeared.

“Are you bored here?” Vincent asked. “Why don’t you come to Noir Group with me?”

Chloe immediately looked up, her eyes lighting up again.

She knew it.

Her big brother still cared about her. He’d noticed she was unhappy right away.

“Then we’ll head out first,” Vincent said to Iris. “You get back to work.”

Watching the two leave, Bella looked utterly confused.

“I understand Mr. Vincent drove you here, but… what was your sister even doing?”

It seemed like she’d simply walked around for a bit and somehow left in a visibly worse mood.

“Don’t worry about it.” Iris looked up. “Please ask Vice President Saunders to come in.”

She planned to begin gradually handing over the company to Yonki Saunders. He was fully capable of taking over.

Meanwhile, inside Vincent’s car…

Chloe was still in high spirits and scooted a little closer to him.

“Brother, is there anything fun at Noir Group? I heard the cafeteria is amazing!”

Vincent turned to look at her without answering. He had doted on this little sister ever since she was young. He didn’t want to think badly of her.

But he wasn’t stupid.

After giving today’s events a little thought, he could already piece together most of what had happened.

“Chloe.” His voice was calm. “I’ve told you before that I hope you and Iris can get along.”

Chloe had been daydreaming about shopping with him during the company’s lunch break. His words hit her like a bucket of cold water.

Her heart sank.

She had a feeling he’d already figured out her little stunt.

“Young Master? Why have you and Miss Chloe come back?”
