The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"When I saw this hairpin, I liked it very much and thought it would be perfect for Ms. Thompson," Grant said with a warm, sincere smile. "Justin, it's just a small gift. I hope you won't mind." With a snap, Justin closed the box and pushed it back to the center of the table. His eyes were dark as he said, "This gift is far too generous. Grant, I appreciate your kindness, and I would like to thank you on behalf of Bella."

Grant's expression showed no embarrassment. He continued to smile calmly, meeting Justin's gaze.

"Justin, what's the matter?" Gregory said, his displeasure evident on his face as he scolded. "Your brother has finally returned and thoughtfully prepared generous gifts for everyone, including your girlfriend. Are you so picky that you can't even accept something from your brother? Even if you don't like it, can you honestly say your brother has ever treated you poorly? You shouldn't refuse the gift. It's simply too hurtful!"

"Dad, please don't be angry." Grant coughed lightly and gently advised, "It's not a big deal. It's not easy for the entire family to be together. So don't let this small matter ruin the harmony."

"Justin, just accept your brother's thoughtful gift," Nigel said, giving Justin a look. He was sitting opposite Justin, unaware of what was in the box. He only wanted to smooth things over, especially since Justin and his father had been getting along better lately.

Under the table, Justin's hand clenched into a fist. He looked at Grant and said, "Grant, I would have happily accepted any other gift. But I cannot accept a hairpin."

Grant raised his eyebrows.

"In our traditional customs, a man giving a woman a hairpin was like a proposal, a commitment to be partners for life," Justin said, his tone low and a bit chilly. "But Bella is already your sister-in-law. Gifting her something like that just doesn't seem right."
