Margaret insisted on accepting only one silver coin. No matter how Carissa tried to persuade her otherwise, the older woman simply refused to take more. In the end, Carissa had no choice but to accept Margaret’s gesture of goodwill.

As Margaret was about to leave, she said, “I feel a connection with you, my dear. If you ever find the time, you’re welcome to visit my humble home. Or perhaps, I could come to your residence and we could have a chat.”

This was a clear indication that Margaret wished for their two families to maintain a relationship in the future.

Regardless, it was always better to have more friends than enemies, especially when there was a meaningful connection like the bracelet between them.

As she personally saw Margaret out, Carissa smiled and nodded. “It would be my honor, Madam Winchester. I look forward to it.”
