Her father would do anything if she threw a tantrum in the past, but now he was ignoring her.
It was all because of Maisie!
Laila didn’t say anything, but she was thinking.
After Willow finished breakfast, Leila went to Stephen’s study.
She wanted to find out what that old man was doing.
She didn’t know what to expect before she started prying, but when she found out, she was shocked. It
was all things that Marina had left behind!
Leila’s eyes turned red. He had been hiding in the study all these days to tidy up the items Marina had
left behind!
That old man really still missed that dead woman!
Leila looked at those items. What surprised her was that there was not a single picture of Marina. They
were all random, worthless objects. She had no idea why he wanted to keep them.
Suddenly, she found a red wooden box at the bottom of the box.
Leila held the box and opened it. There was a very delicate vintage bracelet made with blue agate with a
gold rim.
The bracelet didn’t look very valuable. It was just a worthless bracelet.
“Mom, what are you looking at?”
Willow’s sudden presence made Leila jump. She put the bracelet aside and said, “What else? Your dad
was keeping Marina’s items.”
Willow’s eyes went straight to the bracelet.
“That’s such a beautiful bracelet.” She wanted to put it on.
Leila stopped her. “You dare put on something that screams bad luck?”
“Mom, it’s just a bracelet. There’s nothing scary about it. I just think that it’s pretty.” Willow put it o
Leila didn’t do anything since Willow liked it. She could just take it since it belonged to that wretched
woman. 2
At the Blackgold Group, on the 16th floor….
“Vaenna has started selling their jewelry at a low price. It seems to be a decision after being cornered by
the Santiagos.”
After hearing what Kennedy said, Maisie frowned.
Vaenna had indeed been forced into desperation. She knew that the Vanderbilts would not have
that much money to fill up the hole.
Soul Studio was going to be listed in a week. She wanted to let Willow’s designs pave the way and later
on give her a terrible lesson, but Willow was destroyed before that time even came.
That was all because of the incident with Pearl.
However, she would still attend the auction hosted by Summerton Jewelry.
She had promised Madam Nera and couldn’t just turn away.
Someone suddenly appeared at the door. When Maisie saw that it was her father, her eyes turned dark.
She hadn’t seen him since he came to question her.
“Why are you here, Father?”
It was no longer ‘Dad’, but ‘Father’. It sounded a little distant.
Stephen remembered what Leila had said and realized that he had wrongfully accused her. After a few
days of reflecting, he had decided to come and see her.
“Talk to me.”
Maisie was stunned. He came, not to question her, but just to talk?
Kennedy looked at Maisie and naturally left to give them some space. Seeing her keeping quiet, Stephen
gave out a deep sigh. “Didn’t you want to know about your mother’s past?”
