Katelyn watched Jack's actions with growing anger. Whether real or fake, the ring was purchased by Marina for 100 thousand dollars.

"Don't be so forceful! Can you afford to pay if you break it" Katelyn shouted loudly.

Jack shot her a fierce glare. Just as Katelyn fel a twinge of fear, he swiftly picked up the turquoise ring from the table once more and, with lightning speed, slammed it forcefully onto the floor "Ding The turquoise ring made a clear sound as it hit the ground.

Jack's action left everyone in the room dumbfounded. While they knew Jack detested counterfeits, always smashing them when They came him, they hadn't expected such audacity at Jasmine's birthday banquet.

before

What surprised everyone even more was that after being harshly thrown to the ground, the turquoise ring didn't shatter. Instead, it bounced a couple of times on the floor before resting perfectly intact At that moment, no explanations were needed. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knew that turquoise would have shattered under such circumstances.

There was a two-second silence, followed by uncontrollable laughter erupting from the guests, Jack disdainfully kicked the fake item far away. "Daring to display such things. What does she think the Sullivan residence is?" he remarked

The people around started pointing fingers at Katelyn and Marin

"This is hilarious. Even if she's never seen real turquoise, didn't she play with toy rings as a child? Can't she discern the texture!" someone remarked. "At her age, she still pulls off something like the How embarrass

"I remember when she first arrived, wanting to morally influence Jasmine and criticize Cynthia. Truly despicable."

That old lady is so disgusting. If Mrs. Sullivan hadn't exposed her. I would have thought it was the Sullivan family's fault."

"The worst part is she came here today seeking help, yet she's this arrogant. I truly cannot comprehend it"

The people around didn't hold back, all the ridicule piercing into Katelyn and Marina's ears, the scene momentarily spiraling out of control leaving the two unsure of what to do.

It was Katelyn who first grasped the situation. At this point, the only option was to bring up her granddaughter's predicament. After all, the incident was practically common knowledge, so it wouldn't hum to disclose it now for her own defense.

Her purpose in coming today wasn't to dispute the authenticity of the turquoise ring. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, the money had already been spent, and she needed to replace a way to get a corresponding return.

With that in mind, Katelyn instantly hunched her back, with her mouth and brows downturned, giving off an air of profound vulnerability. Although the people around were still worked up, in an instant, they witnessed the object of their criticism becoming profoundly helpless. "Everyone, our family doesn't have the financial power of the Sullivan family, so we haven't really seen much of the world. I truly didn't know that this turquoise ring was fake. Katelyn said, taking out a tissue to pretend to wipe away tears before continuing

"But we really bought this ring for 100 thousand dollars. I genuinely care about Jasmine, so even in our not-so-wealthy circumstances, I still wanted to give her something expensive," she concluded, also producing the chat records Marina had sent her on that day for everyone present to see The surrounding guests all curiously scrutinized the situation. Only after they saw the bank transfer records did Katelyn proceed with her next words.

"You might consider this ring worthless, but it's the best gift we could afford. My granddaughter was threatened to film a humiluting video just to buy it. Now to see her treated this way is truly heart-wrenching. Katelyn continued, once again feigning a teary-eyed look,

At that monent, Marina felt so embarrassed that she wished to vanish on the spot, her fingers clenched into light fists at her sides. She wondered. Why does Grandina have to do this? Just as people are losing interest in this matter, why does she have to bring it up again, turning me into a subject of discussion? Is the future truly more important than me!

Cynthia was just as surprised as Marina. She didn't expect Katelyn to have the audacity to this extent. But the more audacious she was, the less likely she would succeed.

Thinking about this, Cynthia bluntly reminded. "Mrs. Henderson, today is Grandma's birthday. By drawing everyone's attention like this, people might think it's your birthday instead Chapter 434
