Chapter 84

Just an ordinary jade bracelet. They were all deceiving me, all of them were swindlers!

Danielle reached out to grab the bracelet but missed.

The bracelet touched her hand, bounced a little, and then fell to the ground, hitting the stone perfectly.

In an instant, the bracelet broke into two halves.

At that moment, everyone present fell silent.

Only Danielle, trembling, squatted down and cried, “The bracelet, my ancestral bracelet…”

I stared at her with red eyes.

The resentment in my heart reached its peak.

Look, she was still pretending, and pretending so convincingly!

“Esmeralda!”

Suddenly, a sinister voice, as if from hell, resounded.

I mechanically lifted my head and saw Reynaldo walking towards me with a gloomy expression on his face.

Danielle cried out to him, “Reynaldo, the bracelet, the bracelet that Grandma left for your wife… it’s broken!”

Snap!

The crisp sound of a slap rang out.

He hit me.

Reynaldo hit me.

He grabbed my shoulders and yelled at me, “Why did you do this? Why did you break it? Do you know that bracelet was…”

“That’s enough!” I shook off his hand.

I don’t know if it was too cold or too angry, but my whole body trembled.

I stared at him with crimson eyes and shouted, “I wanted to smash it, you are all liars, liars!”

Reynaldo, if you hated me, you would just kill me directly, right? Teaming up with your grandmother to play tricks on me is quite amusing, isn’t it?

You were a master at acting, and your grandmother was even more skilled. The way you both pretended was truly disgusting!

“Esmeralda!” Reynaldo gritted his teeth and growled my name, his sinister expression as if he wanted to tear me apart.

It doesn’t matter anymore, really, it doesn’t matter anymore.

I was not afraid at all. Even if he killed me directly, it wouldn’t matter.

I yelled at him in disgust, “You and your grandmother are really good at acting, huh? One says that the bracelet is a family heirloom, says it’s for me, says she likes me as her daughter-in-law.”

Someone pretended to threaten me and warned me to keep that bracelet safe.

Well, originally, those were just a trap that you had planned.

He deliberately accused me of stealing the bracelet, deliberately embarrassed me, deliberately mocked me.

I hated you, I hated you to death!

“Who told you that we were acting?”

“Isn’t it true? Look at your grandmother, she was speaking so nicely just a moment ago, and now she’s accusing me of stealing her bracelet. Isn’t this acting?”

I roared lowly, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

My heart felt like a piece was forcefully ripped out, causing me so much pain that I could hardly catch my breath.

Reynaldo stared at me heavily and said word by word, “My grandmother, she has dementia!”

I shook all over, and after a while, I sneered, “You want to deceive me again, you want to deceive me!”

“Since the major illness two years ago, my grandmother has been suffering from dementia. Her condition fluctuates, and she often forgets many things she has done.”

Sometimes she would even forget her own family.

But when she was sober, she clearly liked you so much, how could you say she was acting?

How could you say that about her, and even break the bracelet she specially left for you?

“Esmeralda, you really deserved to die!”

“No, it’s not possible!”

I looked at Danielle.

She was sitting on the ground, caressing the broken bracelet with a sorrowful expression on her face, muttering continuously, that it was for her beloved daughter-in-law.

Tears instantly blurred my vision.

How is it possible to be so coincidental?

How is it possible that she fell ill just after giving me the bracelet, forgot about it, and turned around to accuse me of stealing it?

Unfortunately, Reynaldo was not here just now.

I didn’t believe, I still refused to believe that there could be such a coincidence.

But looking at Danielle’s sorrowful appearance at this moment, it didn’t seem like she was pretending.

I didn’t know what to do.

I didn’t know whether to believe Reynaldo’s words or not.

But looking at Danielle like this, I was truly scared in my heart.

What should I do if… if Danielle really treated me this way because of dementia?

I broke her so important bracelet, how should I face her when she wakes up?

At this moment, the noblewoman suddenly walked over.

She gave me a sinister smile and then turned to Reynaldo, saying,

“Reynaldo, this woman is very cunning. I just told her earlier that the old lady has dementia…”

“No! No!” I looked at Reynaldo urgently. “She’s lying. She didn’t tell me those things.”
