The jade bracelet had shattered into a million pieces.
Catherine’s eyes widened from the shock.
Bea was also taken aback by what Yura had just done.
This jade bracelet was the most precious treasure in their family.
Her grandmother had given this jade bracelet to her mother before it was passed down to Bea.
The reason why Catherine was willing to let go of the bracelet as a gift for Lady Yaleman was quite simple.
Her husband was currently lying in bed in a vegetative state and there was no more hope for her.
She hoped that her daughter would be able to prove herself and gain recognition from the Yaleman family, someday in the future.
As long as Lady Yaleman was pleased and satisfied, then Bea would be able to move forward.
Otherwise, if Rose was allowed to gain full control of the company in the future, then all hope would truly be lost for Bea and her family.
But now, this final bastion of hope had been smashed into the cold hard ground!
Yura had obviously done this on purpose!
“Give me back my jade bracelet! I want you to compensate me for my jade bracelet!”
Catherine’s eyes were red and blinded by rage as she rushed forward and grabbed Yura forcefully by the collar.
Everyone at the birthday banquet stopped what they were doing and stared at the source of the commotion.
“Stop it! Do you still know how to behave yourself?!”
Lady Yaleman yelled angrily at them both. She was a woman who cared about her public appearance after all.
“Mom! Yura did it on purpose! He deliberately broke my dragon jade bracelet!” Catherine complained in a distressed tone.
“Oh! It’s just a lousy bracelet anyway! Chances are, it might even be a fake! So what if it was an authentic dragon jade bracelet?”
“Aren’t you a bit too old to be quarreling with your own junior? Have you no shame?”
Second aunt chimed in.
“It’s mom’s birthday today here you are, trying to start a fight. How unruly can you be!? Can’t you behave yourself!?”
“Okay, that’s enough! ‘Tis nothing but a jade bracelet! There’s nothing we can do now, since it has already been broken. I’m too old to be wearing such a thing anyway! What Rose said is not exactly wrong. Do you really need to take your anger out on Yura like this?” Lady Yaleman said casually.
