Chapter 696 Give Up the Bangle

Jean was rendered speechless by Sonia’s words as her face twisted in frustration. After all, the bangle was an heirloom passed down to the daughters-in-law from one generation to another in the Fuller Family.

While Rose had always been its keeper, the tight security in the old manor made it hard for anyone to steal it. Moreover, Jean believed that anyone who succeeded in stealing it wouldn’t dare to wear it openly, either.

Thus, she quickly understood the reason Sonia had the bangle was not that she stole it, but because of another reason she probably wouldn’t be able to accept. As a few puckers were seen on her flabby cheeks, she questioned Sonia in an annoyed manner, “Tell me. How did you get this bangle?”

Sonia dropped her wrist and calmly replied, “How else do you think I got it? Of course, it was Grandma who gave it to me.”

“No way!” Jean raised the pitch in her tone, responding with a jarring voice that sounded so unpleasant that Sonia had to look away and cover her ears in agony.

 

“What’re you doing? Why won’t you believe it?!”

“You must be lying, right?!” Jean approached her intimidatingly, clearly showing her agitation. “This bangle is meant for the Fuller Family’s daughters-in-law, but you’re not one. So, why would Old Mrs. Fuller give it to you? Therefore, I’m pretty sure that you’re lying.” Jean didn’t believe that it was Rose who gave Sonia the bangle because she reckoned she should be next in line to receive that, since she was the daughter-in-law of the Fuller Family. Thus, she was convinced that Sonia was lying.
