Chapter 216: Chapter 213: Heart-to-Heart

Nighttime.

Elliana Lyle was summoned to the old lady’s room.

To be honest, it was her first time in the old lady’s room, and the layout was not complicated, with even half the room empty, making it appear especially frugal.

"Sit down." The old lady gestured for her to sit by the bed, and she had no choice but to comply.

Then, the old lady walked to the bedside table, felt for a key on her body, and opened the drawer of the bedside table.

Out of the drawer came a box, a red and black brocade-patterned wooden box, small and exquisite.

The old lady sat down beside her and, while speaking, opened the box: "This was something I brought when I got married, just a pair. I gave one to your little aunt when she got married, and this one is for you."

As the box opened, inside lay a bracelet, purple with an excellent shine, clearly of great value.

She was somewhat surprised, not understanding why the old lady was giving her such an important item, and thus politely declined, "No, Grandma, this is too valuable."

Unexpectedly, the old lady forcibly placed it in her hand, slightly embarrassed, saying, "I said take it, so take it. You’re the youngest, and you got married earlier than the others; you need to have something on you."

"Grandma." For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, but she truly didn’t want to accept this bracelet.

She wouldn’t just forget what the old lady said at her mother’s funeral just because of a sudden gesture of kindness. She didn’t hate the old lady, but she couldn’t forget past events.

"You have grievances in your heart, I know, and I resented your mother too, always thinking she was after the Bennett Family’s wealth. Phoebe Lyle talked to me a lot this afternoon, and even an old stubborn person like me can come to understand."

"...Grandma, since it’s a misunderstanding, it’s good that it’s resolved. I really can’t accept this bracelet." Perhaps she was just stubborn and didn’t want to pretend nothing happened because of a few words.

The old lady let out a heavy sigh, swallowed her anger, though reluctant, and finally said, "Take it, don’t put me in an awkward position."

Silence.

Then came a deathly quiet.
