Chapter 699
Granny Atherton locked her eyes on the gold bangle.
She had the bangle for over twenty years and passed it on to Summer after becoming an adult. She vividly remembered the engraving on the bangle, and it looked exactly the same as the one she gave Summer.
Even though she was not sure if this was the Atherton family's heirloom, she was certain that the ancestors of the Atherton family specially designed the engraving, and there could definitely not be a replica in the market!
Even if there was, the Atherton family should have gotten rid of all of them over the years.
Therefore, Granny Atherton was agitated to see the bangle. Her pupils dilated exaggeratedly in reflex.
Her sharp gaze moved slowly from the bangle to the girl's face.
It was an ordinary face. Even though not exactly dainty, she was still decent looking.
Perhaps she was not skilled enough in make-up. Her eyeshadows were a little overlapping, making her eyes look a little puffier than they were supposed to be. This heavily affected Granny Atherton’s impression of her. Quinn's heart was beating like a drum when being stared on by Granny Atherton.
"Gran... Granny, why are you holding my hand like that?"
Granny Atherton suppressed her feelings and asked nervously, "Where did you get this bangle?"
"Bangle?" Quinn suddenly understood the situation and then said, "It was given by my mother!"
Before bumping into Granny Atherton, Lola had practiced with Quinn numerous times on all the possible questions that Granny Atherton might ask Quinn.
Lola understood Granny Atherton well; therefore, Quinn was no longer feeling iffy about it.
When Granny Atherton heard that this was passed on by Quinn's mother, her heart almost leaped out of her chest. Her voice was trembling, full of anticipation." Given by your mother? What is your mother's name..."
"My mother was Summer Atherton. My dad used to call her Sunny." Quinn articulated it naturally. It was because she was technically not lying.
Back in the day, her father indeed addressed Stella as Sunny.
In fact, it was because Stella's name was originally Sunniva. She only changed to Stella after getting together with Ezekiel to signify forgetting her past and beginning a new life.
"Summer..." Granny Atherton's hand was suddenly grabbing her even more firmly. Her pupils were constricting. "Your mother's name is also Summer? Then where is she now?"
Would the Summer be her daughter?
Quinn was feeling uncomfortable being grabbed by Granny Atherton. She changed her expression and looked at Granny Atherton, bewildered.
"Why are you asking about all these? Do you know my mother?"
”1..." Granny Atherton wanted to say that her daughter’s name was Summer too, but she did not say it. She forced that back and said stiffly, "I know this bangle. It belonged to my late relative's daughter. If you could lead me to the owner of this bangle, I can fulfill any of your requests."
Quinn knew that Granny Atherton was suspecting her. She sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that for you."
