Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1113

Mr. Prescott smiled warmly in agreement. The next moment, Mrs. Prescott produced an exquisite velvet box. She opened it gracefully and presented it to Lillian.

Resting inside was the Imperial Emerald Bangle, its flawless, vibrant green surface catching the light.

Given her extensive experience in jewelry appraisal, Lillian instantly recognized its staggering value. A top-tier, museum-quality piece like this easily commanded millions of dollars.

Shock flickered across Lillian's face, but Mrs. Prescott merely smiled. "I believe this is fate. This bangle looks like it was made perfectly for you, Lillian."

"Mrs. Prescott... this is far too precious," Lillian stammered slightly. "I couldn't possibly accept it."

Before she could refuse further, Leonard stepped in and smoothly took the bangle from the box. Without a second thought, he gently held Lillian's hand, sliding the jade over her knuckles. He admired it for a second and nodded in deep satisfaction. "It's a perfect fit. It looks stunning on you."

As she watched him in surprise, trying to pull her hand back, Leonard murmured softly, "Be good. Don't move. This is our family heirloom. I'm the sole heir of this generation, and there is no one else in this world qualified to wear it but you."

Beside them, Mrs. Prescott beamed. "Lillian, I couldn't agree more. While you and Leonard still have treatments ahead, you are the most wonderful daughter-in-law I could ever ask for. I want to lock this down early before anything else happens. Please, do not decline. Wear it with pride."

Mr. Prescott chimed in with firm sincerity. "Exactly, Lillian. Our family has wholeheartedly chosen you. It's rare for all of us to be in the same city, so we wanted to finalize this while we had the chance. Accepting this family heirloom will finally put our minds at ease."

Lillian looked at Leonard, whose gaze was filled with unwavering devotion, and then at the hopeful faces of Mr. and Mrs. Prescott. Finally, she gave a small nod and accepted the bangle.

This wasn't just a piece of jewelry. Wearing it was an unspoken agreement—she was officially engaged to Leonard.
