Chapter 198 A Bracelet That Was Never Hers

“I have always held back, and I have always endured, but she has only ever made things difficult for me.

“And now, I never thought she would become this reckless to actually show up at my home and lay hands on me. Raymond, I don’t care what kind of relationship you had with her before; that’s all in the past now.

“But she is still obsessing over you and still targeting everyone around you.

“You cannot show her any more mercy. That woman is dangerous. If you keep letting her go, she will eventually bring ruin to the Hale family!”

At that moment, Calvin quickly stepped forward and greeted Raymond.

“Raymond, I’m sure there’s been some kind of misunderstanding here. I don’t believe Ms. Sinclair is that kind of person.

“This banquet today was originally to make amends for what happened with Monica. To show sincerity, I personally invited Ms. Sinclair here.”

Hearing this, Bianca snapped, almost exploding in anger. “Are you out of your mind? Why do you keep siding with outsiders?

“Monica is your daughter! Look at her! She’s the one who got injured!

“Have you lost your senses? And what about the last time when Monica was injured at her shop? Are you going to say that had nothing to do with her either?

“Ever since she appeared, Monica has been getting hurt again and again! And you still don’t see why?”

Monica immediately became emotional as well, tears spilling down her face.

“Dad, what’s wrong with you today? You’ve always loved me so much. I’m the one who got hurt, and you’re defending her instead?”

Raymond’s expression remained completely unchanged, still cold as ice.

“There are so many people close to me, so why is she the only one you keep targeting?

“Why is she the only one you keep going after?” Monica turned around slowly.

“Raymond, stop pretending like you don’t know. I already understand how you feel.

“This bracelet is the proof. I told you before that I loved Mario’s designs the most.

“And you secretly custom-ordered this bracelet from Mario just to surprise me, didn’t you? Raymond, I know how you feel now.

“You care about me the most, and you remember everything I’ve said.

“I’m so touched. Truly.”

She paused, then looked at him with deep emotion and absolute certainty.

“Raymond, I know this bracelet was meant to be your confession.

“So today, in front of everyone, I want to be brave too. For you… for us…

“Let me be the one to confess first. Raymond, I love you. I accept your feelings!”

She shot a smug, contemptuous glance at Agnes after she said that.

Today, Raymond would finally announce their relationship to everyone.

Agnes, I want to see how you still hold your head up in this city after this.

Monica waited, full of confidence, expecting him to accept her confession without hesitation.

But the next second, Raymond grabbed her wrist violently.

There was no warmth in his eyes, only anger and cold ridicule.

His voice was sharp as he questioned her.

“Where did you get this bracelet?”

“I… I saw it on your office desk this morning. Raymond, what’s wrong?”

“Who gave you permission to enter my office and touch my things?”

The pain in her wrist made Monica’s face turn pale. She struggled to pull away, but his grip didn’t loosen at all.

“I’m sorry… I just wanted to pick you up for the banquet this morning. They said you were busy so I waited in your office, and then I saw the bracelet on your desk…”

Upon saying that, she could practically see the rage burning in his eyes.

Her wrist turned red from the force, and tears welled in her eyes as she continued.

“I just thought that since you were going to give it to me anyway, I would wear it early. You wanted to surprise me, and I wanted to surprise you too… Why are you so angry…
