Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 848

Chapter 848: Love and Hate

For the first time, Aurora stayed overnight at the Barnet family estate. The warmth and hospitality of the Barnet family members quickly dispelled her earlier apprehensions.

While Julian was in the shower, Aurora examined the jade bracelet in her hand. This was the second bracelet she had received. The first was given to her by the Alvarez family, and now this one had come from Maxwell.

The bracelet was a vibrant green, with intricate threads of natural patterns running through it-nature's most exquisite decoration. Suddenly, a thought struck her. The bracelet seemed familiar. What if, she mused, this green bracelet were dyed red? It would look identical to the red jade bracelet she had acquired before.

Although both were jade bracelets, the texture and pattern of jade varied by origin; no two pieces were ever truly identical. The only possibility was that these two bracelets originated from the same piece of jade.

When Aurora had purchased the red bracelet in Rome, she'd been drawn to it by an inexplicable feeling. Now, holding this green bracelet, she felt the same connection. She had once worn the red bracelet as her good luck charm, only to give it to her mother later. Miraculously, her mother's health, which had been deteriorating, began to improve. Coincidence, or was it fate?

Aurora felt an undeniable link between herself and the bracelet. She couldn't wait to confront Maxwell and uncover the truth.

The butler escorted her to the study, where Maxwell was examining the ink painting Aurora had brought with her. She had picked it up in haste, drawn to its artistic charm, without even noticing who had painted it.

"Grandfather."

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Maxwell turned away from the painting, his expression filled with a depth Aurora couldn't decipher.

"Grandfather, I need to ask you something. It's about this bracelet."

"Take a seat," Maxwell said, his demeanor suddenly serious, a stark contrast to the cheerful elder Aurora had seen earlier.
