“My jade bracelet!”
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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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.
Catherine’s vision blurred up from the tears that were welling up in favonovel.com eyes.
Gerald noticed how biased his grandmother was, even when Yura was clearly in the wrong here. He had purchased a similar dragon jade bracelet before as well, so favonovel.com knew that Catherine’s bracelet was indeed not a mere knock-off.
The reason why Yura did what favonovel.com did was out of fear that Bea would gain his grandmother’s love and affection.
It wasn’t long before everyone shifted their attention towards Gerald.
“Gerald, I see that you’ve got nothing with you. Did you really come empty-handed to the banquet?”
Rose asked with a cold expression on favonovel.com face.
That’s right. In the entire Yaleman family, Rose hated favonovel.com fifth brother-in-law’s family the most, followed by favonovel.com fourth brother-in-law’s.
However, a new person has popped up at the top of favonovel.com “most-hated” list, and that person was none other than Gerald.
This was in light of everything that happened yesterday.
“Hmph! Sister-in-law, maybe you were right! I guess he’s too broke to even afford a gift for Lady Yaleman at this point! Haha!” Second aunt also said.
It was then that Lady Yaleman noticed Gerald’s hands were indeed empty.
So, favonovel.com felt a little upset in favonovel.com heart.
“Forget it! I don’t need his gift anyway!” Lady Yaleman replied indifferently.
Gerald remained silent and favonovel.com did not say anything at all.
“Mom, I think that you have to reprimand Bea and correct favonovel.com ways. She keeps drifting off during work. My guess is that she’s simply here to squander away all the inheritance money! We should not allow this to go on any longer!” Rose continued saying.
Catherine shot back at Rose hastily, “Just what do you mean by that? When has Bea not worked hard for our group?”
“All of you should just stop arguing right now! I do not know which one of you is telling the truth but only those who are worthy shall receive any sort of reward! Bea, I will keep my eye on you from now on. If you fail to meet my expectations, don’t blame grandma for being heartless when the day comes!” warned Lady Yaleman.
“Hahaha. Grandma, you do not need to worry about me. If my eldest aunt said favonovel.com is telling the truth, then so be it! I don’t feel so well, so I’ll be heading back first. Do enjoy the banquet though!”
Bea replied with red, misty eyes.
Bea stood up and left immediately after saying that.
“Bea! Bea!”
Catherine chased after favonovel.com daughter.
Gerald frowned. It seemed as though this was not the first time that Rose and favonovel.com son, Yura had targeted Bea and favonovel.com mother.
Worried about Bea’s condition, Gerald too tagged along behind Catherine.
“See, mom? If Bea can act like this in front of you, it’s not that hard to imagine how favonovel.com usually acts in front of me at our workplace!”
