She had wanted to borrow money from Elsa–how had it ended with Elsa eyeing her own possessions instead?

Besides, Elsa knew her situation well. Where was she supposed to come up with that kind of money?

Still, she didn’t want to lose the support Elsa’s background offered, so she forced herself to sound sincere. “John is unbelievable! Spending money on a woman and then demanding it back… he’s so stingy! Elsa, you should go to Simon. I’m sure he’ll help you repay it. Yes, I’ll call Simon right now and have him come keep you company!”

Afraid Elsa might press her for money again, Marilyn called Simon and then hurriedly excused herself, fleeing the hospital.

Yet even as she left, one thought burned in her mind–how humiliating it was, as the future lady of the Luke family, to not have a single piece of jewelry worthy of her new status.

But how could she get something valuable enough?

Then an idea struck her, making her eyes shine.

Her uncle Greg was a university professor. The Xander family, though not wealthy, had a cultured background.

When her aunt married Greg, his mother had given her a pair of jade bangles with exceptional clarity as a wedding gift.

Marilyn had always believed those bangles should rightfully belong to her.

But then her aunt had adopted Adeline and later given birth to her own daughter.
