Chapter 1336

Although Astrid never revealed where Evelyn’s collection of glittering jewelry came from, Thalassa had her suspicions. It must be the handiwork of Bruce when he was at his charming best.

Bruce had a silver tongue, especially when it came to wooing women with shiny trinkets. And poor Evelyn had been utterly beguiled, enshared by his sweet nothings.

Bruce was such a loathsome creature that Thalassa could barely contain her urge to tear him to pieces!

Why on earth would she want to hold onto anything that bastard had given Evelyn?

Jewelry was just ordinary stuff, after all. Selling it for cash made sense, to buy Astrid some treats, maybe a hearty steak and some medical care.

As for the jade pearls, they had the look of an antique.

If it was truly an antique, it had to be worth pretty much. Bruce, that penny-pincher, wouldn’t part with something so valuable for a woman, would he?

That’s why Thalassa was convinced the jade pearl couldn’t possibly come from Bruce. They must have a story behind them. So she decided to keep the pearl.

“Thalassa, I don’t need any fancy treats, I’m not a child anymore,” Astrid insisted, unwilling to let Thalassa sell Evelyn’s jewelry. It was, after all, a tangible memory of Evelyn. Without it, even that small comfort would be gone.
