Rosalind was also crying on the other end of the phone.


    “Anna knew that Grandpa didn’t like me, so she used Grandpa against me… Why is she so insidious?!”


    Justin’s ck eyes trembled. He did not hear what Rosalind was saying at all.


    The woman in front of him was bawling her eyes out, but he could feel her sadness. Every tear she


    shed made his heart ache.


    “Child, what’s wrong? Don’t scare Grandpa!” Nigel had seen everything but a little girl bawling messily.


    Be burst into tears. “Grandpa… I broke the bracelet… I’ve been trying every means to repair it, but it


    didn’t work… So… So I was wondering if I could make the same one because I was afraid that you


    would be upset if you found out… I’m sorry, Grandpa… I lied to you… I’m so sorry…


    Be cried so hard that her little body twitched. The back of her hands were wet with tears.


    She could not be more pitiful.


    Justin listened to her intermittent cries and felt frozen.


    He finally understood what Be was up to during the past few days when she went missing.


    He finally understood why her delicate fingers were covered with thin calluses. It turned out that she


    was trying to restore the bracelet that his grandfather gave her.


    Suddenly, he felt as if her tears were searing his heart. The bitterness and sadness quickly spread


    throughout his body.


    “Anna… It’s not a big deal, my dear!”


    Nigel squeezed Be’s hand in distress. He was a little dumbfounded as he exined, “Actually when


    you first came in, I already noticed that you weren’t wearing the bracelet I gave you. I guessed that the


    bracelet might be broken or something. Otherwise, you would surely wear it. But I’m not upset with you


    at all. Grandma has a giant box of jade bracelets. I wanted to give them all to you, but I was afraid that


    you wouldn’t ept it, so I chose the prettiest one to give to you. I even made up the story about it


    being a token of love so that you’d ept it. Your grandma used to joke with me that these bracelets


    were too cumbersome. She told me that if she ever dies before me, I must not bury these trinkets with


    her because they’ll just take up a lot of space!”


    Upon hearing this, Be seemed to feel better. Her scrunched-up face softened, but her eyes were still


    teary, and the tip of her nose was still red.


    “Justin! Where did that bastard go?”


    Nigel pped the armrest of his wheelchair and said, “Bastard,e in quickly and coax your wife!”


    Rosalind quickly shouted, “Justin! Don’t go! I haven’t finished talking to you yet…”


    “I have something to take care of here. Let’s talkter.”

    As soon as he said this, Justin hung up the phone decisively.


    Rosalind, on the other end of the phone, looked at the cked-out screen and panted heavily. Her face


    was livid.


    “Anna… you bitch! Slut! I will make sure you die tragically!”


    Rosalind hurriedly dialed Shannon’s phone number.


    “Aunt Shannon! Please help me! That damn bitch, Anna, is at Grandpa’s house with Justin!”


    Rosalind cried loudly. “If this continues… Justin is going to get seduced by her! In the past, he would


    alwayse running to me with one word, but now, he hung up on me before I even finished speaking!


    Has he changed his mind about me? Aunt Shannon, if I don’t marry into the Salvador family, I won’t be


    able to help you. All the skills you trained me for will go to waste!”


    Rosalind knew that justining was not enough. She had to drag Shannon into the water. She had


    to make Shannon feel that her own interests were threatened so that Shannon would sincerely help


    her.


    “Rose, don’t panic. You should know what Justin is like by now. You can’t force him to do anything, and


    you can’t act too hastily. Otherwise, it will just backfire likest time. After all, Justin is now wary of you


    because you ndered Annast time. Even if he feels like he owes you for the kindness you showed


    him when he was a child, you shouldn’t test his feelings for you.” Shannon was rational and calm as


    she advised Rosalind.


    “Then what should we do?” Rosalind asked in a panic.


    “Just pretend to be miserable and pitiful, but you must pretend so that Justin sees it.”


    Shannon sneered sinisterly. “With me around to guide you, that bitch, Anna, can’t defeat you. She


    should try again in her next life!”


    Justin’s tall figure barged into the study.


    “Grandpa, I’m here.”


    “You stupid brat! Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Anna crying? If I didn’t call you, would you have stayed


    outside?!” Nigel yelled at his grandson.


    As long as his precious Anna would smile, Nigel was willing to sacrifice Justin.


    “No.”
