“He is upstairs talking with Nevin.” Penelope’s expression didn’t change. She took Demi’s hand again. “Come, let the men talk. We can have our own conversation.”

Demi lowered her eyes, glancing at Penelope’s hand holding hers. She didn’t pull away forcefully in the end.

No need to make things too stiff.

It’s just that…

In the past, Penelope had always looked down on her background. Seeing her act so warm and gentle like this was a first.

Ever since she and Nevin moved out, they basically didn’t meet except for family dinners.

After Orion was born, Penelope still didn’t like her, but she didn’t really make things hard for her either.

And her attitude today… Perhaps it was because they were in the estate, and she was afraid Edwin might see.

Penelope pulled Demi to sit on the sofa in the main hall After chatting for a bit, she smoothly took off the diamond bracelet from her own wrist and tried to put it on Demi’s hand.

“Look at you, Sweetie. Your hands are so plain. It just so happens I’m getting older, and this bracelet is a little too dazzling; doesn’t suit me anymore. It looks better on youngsters…”

As she spoke, she tried to slide it onto Demi’s wrist, but Demi instinctively pulled her hand back.

Smash!

Penelope didn’t hold it steady, likely not expecting Dem to reject her.

Her hand slipped, and the bracelet worth several million dollars shattered on the floor.

It was their family heirloom, passed down for generations.

Demi was also slightly startled. She stood up and said, “This is too valuable, I…”

Then she looked down at the shattered bracelet.

“It’s fine. It’s not something expensive anyway.”

Penelope’s elegant, noble expression almost cracked. Although it wasn’t the top of the top, it was something she cherished.

Demi crouched down to pick it up and said politely, “I suddenly remembered my mom has a bracelet very similar to this. I’ll bring it to you another day.”

She casually set the broken pieces aside.

“No need, no need. It’s just a little trinket. If it breaks, it breaks.” Penelope forced a smile.

Demi said nothing more. She simply thought about asking Mom for that bracelet to give Penelope later.

Chapter 6 The Diamond Bracelet

The atmosphere grew stiff. Penelope wanted to find something to say to get close to her, but couldn’t.

Demi stayed silent, her peripheral vision landing on the broken pieces.

When she had married Nevin, Penelope had given her gold jewelry as part of her wedding gift to remind her of her place

She’d said openly that a woman like Demi being able to marry into the Blackwells was already a blessing, so she did not deserve to wear diamonds and other expensive gemstones,

She was only fit to wear tacky gold.

The entire set was worth a little over a hundred thousand.

When Nevin found out, the next day he ordered her a diamond necklace worth several million dollars.

After a while, the servants began bringing out dishes on after another.

Soon, Edwin’s and Nevin’s voices could be heard on the staircase.

Demi stood up. “Edwin

“Ah. Demi’s here.”
