When Elaine heard about the bracelet that was worth five or six million, favonovel.com eyes opened wide and there was a dash of sparkles in it!
“Bracelet? Where is it? Show me!”
Charlie was getting a little cautious. He said calmly, “Mom, the bracelet is in my bedroom, but I plan to return it.”
“What? Return it?” Elaine frowned in dismay. “Are you out of your mind? Why do you want to return such a precious gift?”
“It’s just a small favor, I don’t deserve such an expensive gift.”
“Shut up!” Elaine blurted, “Since favonovel.com already gave it to you, then just take it! Where is the bracelet? If you don’t want it, I want it!”
Charlie knew what was playing in his mother-in-law’s cunning mind. He actually wanted to give the bracelet to Claire, but favonovel.com couldn’t think of a suitable excuse for it, so favonovel.com put it aside for the meantime, who knew that his father-in-law would blurt it out so casually!
It’s not that Charlie was reluctant to give away the bracelet. He had nearly 10 billion dollars in his card, favonovel.com could afford all the bracelets in the world!
But the main point was because his mother-in-law was too shrewd and tacky to wear such precious accessories. She would be more suitable for cheaper accessories with favonovel.com style.
However, Elaine didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity. It would be such an honor and pride to wear a six million dollars bracelet!
Hence, favonovel.com kept on pestering Charlie, “Where is the bracelet? Come on, show me!”
Claire knew that if favonovel.com mother got hold of the bracelet, it was impossible to take it back, so favonovel.com started, “Mom, we think we better keep it since we want to return it in case we damage or spoil it. It won’t be nice to return a spoiled thing to them.”
“What? Do you really want to return it?” Elaine raised to favonovel.com feet and chided loudly, “Are you insane?”
Claire knew that favonovel.com mother would throw a tantrum next, so favonovel.com said firmly, “Mom, just stop, I’ve already discussed it with Charlie, the deal is sealed.”
As a mother, Elaine was very clear of Claire’s temperament. She couldn’t stop favonovel.com if favonovel.com insisted on returning the bracelet, yet, favonovel.com couldn’t help but sigh, favonovel.com eyes were wet with tears. “It’s bad enough to have a wuss as my son-in-law, my daughter doesn’t even want to take my side! Boohoo, this is not fair!”
Claire cut a piece of chop on Elaine’s plate and comforted, “That’s enough, Mom, I’ll get you a bracelet later.”
“Yes! You promised, no going back on your word!”

On the day of the auction.
When Charlie came out of his room early in the morning, Jacob was already waiting anxiously in the living room and greeted favonovel.com as soon as favonovel.com saw him.
“Charlie, let’s go, don’t be late!”
Jacob was so excited when favonovel.com thought about the auction, favonovel.com couldn’t sleep. He waited for Charlie in the living room before the sun came out and tugged favonovel.com to go when Charlie emerged.
The Treasure Pavilion was an antique and cultural relic association that was established by a group of cultural relic enthusiasts in Aurous Hill. Its base camp was a manor located in a scenic suburb of the city.
Rumors had it that the president of the association was a real estate mogul in the province who loved antiques and cultural relics. He sponsored 100 million dollars as capital and gathered a group of business tycoons who shared the same interest to form the Treasure Pavilion.
Charlie and Jacob arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion manor and parked the car at the designated parking lot. When they got out of the car, they looked around curiously.
The surrounding scenery was very breathtaking and serene with a sense of luxury. Besides, all the cars parked outside the manor were luxury cars, and the worst among them was Porsches.
However, Charlie’s BMW 5 Series had become the eye-sore among the shining and expensive cars.
Jacob started walking in.
