"This is my mother's bracelet!" Selena exclaimed.

"Isn't this..." The bracelet I bid in the auction? I remember winning the bid at a high price, but I later found out that Selena was actually among the competitors. Nonetheless, I gave it to her as a gift in the end.

"That's right. This is the same bracelet that you gave me earlier. I don't know how they got separated, but there are actually two of them. The one that you bid for last time was only one of them." Selena quickly went through the content in the email. "This is the auction in which the bracelet will be sold, and it'll be held in Yucaria."

However, that was also the same reason behind why both of them hated unfaithful lovers so much. A few moments later, Pierre knitted his eyebrows in bafflement and asked, "This bracelet doesn't look cheap. Why would an ordinary woman like your mother own something so precious?"
