Moreover, they had been deceiving Old Madam Harrison all along, which made Vicky feel guilty. It feltlike she was taking advantage of this opportunity to redefine her relationship with Elijah.

With these thoughts in mind, Vicky did not argue and lowered her gaze, before taking the bracelet shewas wearing off. “Grandma, please, I should return this bracelet to you…”

Old Madam Harrison pushed the bracelet back. “A gift given away should not be taken back. From themoment I offered you this bracelet, it became your possession.”

“Grandma, this bracelet is a precious heirloom of the Harrisons. I cant accept it.”

Old Madam Harrison smiled. “When I said it was a family heirloom, it was just to let Elijah know thatyou are the granddaughter-in-law I have chosen, and that he shouldn’t treat you casually. This is a giftfrom me to you, regardless of the situation… you should accept it.”

Vicky became even more hesitant about accepting it upon hearing her words. “Even if this bracelet isn’ta family heirloom, it’s still invaluable,” Vicky said, looking at Old Madam Harrison. “Perhaps we can sellit to get through this difficult time.”

“Silly child.” Old Madam Harrison sighed softly. “Since the Harrisons have reached the point ofmortgaging the old mansion, even if this bracelet could be sold for a billion, it wouldn’t be enough tosave us from this crisis.”

Vicky fell silent.

To ordinary people, a billion was an astronomical number, but for a noble family that was going throughbankruptcy, a billion dollars might not even cover the debt they now owed.

Old Madam Harrison looked around and said with sorrow,” Vicky, there is no need to refuse. Perhapsthis is the only good thing I can leave behind in this world.”

Vicky felt a lump in her throat, and it became even harder to refuse the bracelet.

Old Madam Harrison was right. If the Harrison family really reached the point of bankruptcy, everythingin the old mansion would be sold and mortgaged, leaving nothing behind.

Vicky only had a few belongings with her as she was just temporarily staying at the Harrisons’ house,so she managed to pack everything swiftly.

Just as she was about to talk to Elijah, he approached her first.

“Elijah, what’s really going on? How did the Harrisons suddenly face bankruptcy?” She asked.

Elijah paled. “It was just as Father said, we fell into a trap. That’s how the financial world works. Youcan become rich overnight, but you can also lose everything the same day.”

After hesitating for a moment, Vicky asked, “The Harrisons have been thriving in the financial world formany years. It’s hard to believe that you fell into a trap. Is there something fishy going on that you’rekeeping from me?”

Elijah’s expression changed, and he opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something. In theend, he covered his face in remorse. “Father only said he was outsmarted and fell into a trap set bysomeone else, but he doesn’t know that all of this happened because of me…”

Noticing that there was more to the story than meets the eye, Vicky asked, “What exactly is going on?”

Elijah remained silent and stared at Vicky with a knowing look.

She instantly understood what he meant and asked, “Tyler did this, didn’t he?”

Elijah moved his lips, but did not deny it.

Her eyes widened. “Elijah, tell me exactly what happened in detail.”

The night was dark and quiet when Vicky returned to her own mansion with her suitcase.

It was dark inside the mansion and she was uncertain if Tyler had gone to bed or if he had been longgone.

Even with all that was happening, she took a deep breath and bravely opened the door to go inside.
