Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5530

There was also a jewelry set.

Everly rarely wore accessories. Usually dressed androgynously, she never cared much for jewelry. She would wear earrings at most, but most of the time, she kept things very simple.

It was not because she did not own jewelry. In fact, she had plenty. Her grandfather had given her all the precious jewelry passed down through the family. Even her mother did not own as many pieces as she did.

Sometimes, her mother would even borrow a couple of sets from her for special occasions.

Kaden doted on her. Every year on her birthday without fail, he would give her a piece of jewelry. She owned enough jewelry to rival a jewelry store, and every piece was exquisite. The antique family heirlooms handed down through generations were priceless.

Her cousins had always been envious. When Everly was little, they tried to sweet-talk her into giving them several sets, but she refused them every time. They belonged to her, so she would not give them away.

Maddie had also tried persuading her to give her cousins a few inexpensive pieces to strengthen their bond, but Everly refused that too.

She believed that if sisterhood had to be built around material possessions, then it was not a relationship worth having. Besides, there was no such thing as “inexpensive” jewelry in her collection. Every piece was worth a fortune.

The ones her cousins had their eyes on were the pieces left to her by her great-grandmother and grandmother. Those were priceless.

Everly could have used her allowance to buy each of them a set of gold jewelry. The pieces might not have been as valuable as those in her collection, but they certainly would not be cheap either.

However, when her cousins received the gifts, they complained that they were not expensive enough. Everly had been so angry that she took back every single gift. She never gave them anything again.

She had no intention of winning their approval either. If anything, they were the ones who tried to curry favor with her. Yet behind her back, they called her cold and reckless.

Everly had spent twenty-eight years watching her relatives. She knew their motives, sincerity, and false affection better than anyone.

If they were not sincere toward her, she naturally would not be either.

The problem was that her relatives were good at putting on an act and pretending they cared about her. Everly refused to play along, so they accused her of being cold toward her own family.
