Vicky, with her experience as a young lady of a wealthy family, could immediately tell that this braceletwas of considerable value.

As she observed the heirloom piece, she found that the gemstones and diamonds on it possessedextraordinary qualities in terms of color, type, and quality.

Vicky estimated the value of this bracelet to be at least 11.5 million.

An heirloom worth 11.5 million was a generous gift indeed, and this stirred up complex emotions withinVicky.

“I can’t accept this. It’s too valuable,” she declined.

“From now on, you are a member of our family. Since we are a family, there’s no need to be so polite,”Old Madam Harrisons said.

“But, Grandma, I really can’t accept it.”

She and Elijah were only pretending to be engaged, so she could not possibly accept such a preciousbracelet.

“How about you give this bracelet to me only after we get married, Grandma?” Vicky suggested.

“No, you are the granddaughter-in-law I have chosen. This is a gift from me to you. Regardless ofwhether you marry into our family or not, I will still give it to you,” Old Madam Harrisons insisted. “IfElijah replaces another woman, I will never accept her.”

Moved by Old Madam Harrisons’ words, Vicky felt both grateful and guilty. Elijah’s family was truly kind-hearted, and she could not bear to deceive an elderly person who was nearing the end of her life.

At that moment, Elijah spoke up, “Vicky, since Grandma wants you to accept it, you should just acceptit.”

Now that Elijah had spoken, Vicky could not refuse any longer.

“Thank you, Grandma,” she said.

Old Madam Harrisons placed the bracelet on Vicky’s wrist and said, “This bracelet represents ourfamily’s protection. If anyone dares to bully you, feel free to come to me.”

Vicky smiled and agreed.

After leaving the house, Vicky took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and returned it to Elijah. “MisterHarrisons, I need to return this jade bracelet to you.”

Elijah shook his head. “This is Grandma’s gift to you. You should keep wearing it. If you visit Grandmaagain and she notices that you’re not wearing it, she will definitely ask you about it.”

After a moment of consideration, Vicky nodded gently.” Alright, I will return this bracelet to you in threemonths.”

Elijah did not complain and simply said, “Let me take you home.”

“Thank you.”

As they sat in the car, Vicky remembered something. “Mister Harrisons, there’s something I forgot tomention earlier.”

Elijah looked at her and asked, “What is it?”

“It’s about my ex-husband…”

Elijah waved his hand dismissively. “I already know about that. Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

“That’s not what I wanted to say.” Vicky’s gaze flickered. “I haven’t told you who my ex-husband is.”

Assuming she was just an ordinary fashion designer, Elijah casually asked, “Who is your ex-husband,then?”

“Well… It’s Tyler Hart.”

Elijah frowned. “Tyler Hart? Which Tyler Hart?”

“I’m sure you’ve heard of him before.”

After a few moments, Elijah widened his eyes in shock.” Wait… Are you talking about ‘the’ Tyler Hart?”

Vicky nodded in silence.

Elijah gasped and gaped at Vicky. “Tyler Hart is your ex?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re not messing with me, are you?”

“Does it look like I’m joking?”

Elijah studied her face and paled, clearly feeling extremely troubled.

Sometime later, Elijah finally spoke.
