Isabelle’s smug look froze on her face.

“W–what did you just say?” Isabelle stammered.

shot back.

Her voice shifted, trembling with agitation. “You’re just talking nonsense! Can’t you use your brain before you speak? You claim it wasn’t available for sale, so what’s that in your hand? Aren’t you just slapping yourself in the face?”

Julia quickly jumped in to back her up. “Exactly! You’ve got one yourself, and you’re still saying it wasn’t available for sale? That’s just blatantly lying!”

People started gossiping again.

“Yeah, she’s got one too…”

“If it really wasn’t for sale, then how did she get hers?”

Natalie let out a light laugh. “Every piece Aileen creates has a subtle mark on it.”

She paused, shooting a look at Isabelle.

“Why don’t you take a look and see if yours has one?” Natalie said, her tone full of confidence.

Isabelle was stunned for a second, then sneered.

“A mark? Quit acting all mysterious! If you’re so confident, go ahead and show everyone!” Isabelle retorted.

Natalie stayed silent, then turned to Sienna.

“Sienna, that bracelet you’re wearing, is it one of Aileen’s designs?” Natalie asked.

Sienna paused for a moment, then looked down at the silver bracelet on her wrist.

It featured a minimalist lotus flower, matching the pendant on her necklace.

“Yeah, it’s from Aileen. I won it at an auction two years ago.” Sienna replied.

Natalie nodded.

“Every piece Aileen designs has a tiny engraving right in the heart of the lotus flower. You’ll need a magnifying glass to actually see it,” Natalic explained.

She glanced over at Avery.

“Avery, do you happen to have a magnifying glass around?” Natalie asked.

Avery quickly sent Annabelle to fetch one.

Annabelle quickly returned with an elegant magnifying glass.

Natalie took it and handed it to Sienna.

“Check your bracelet,” Natalie told her.

Sienna took the magnifying glass and brought it up to the bracelet on her wrist.

Julia swallowed hard, lifting her chin defiantly. “Well… Matilda was my mother–in–law, wasn’t she? She w part of the Grant family, wasn’t she?

“And after she passed away, didn’t we take Natalie in and spoil her, making sure she had everything she wanted?”

Andrew’s voice grew colder with every word, each syllable laced with ice.

“And you call that ‘taking care of her‘?” Andrew shot back, his tone full of biting sarcasm.
