Before I could say anything, Nora dropped her chores on hand and started walking towards Rachel. Unexpectedly, she turned back and picked up the knife. “I can overlook anything else, but how could she shamelessly con him of my grandma’s bracelet?” she muttered under her breath.

I was shocked when I saw her with the knife. I quickly went up and pulled her aside. “Calm down! Your grandpa gifted this to Ashton’s wife. Since Ashton gave it to her, you should not fault her for it,” I explained.

That would be an insult to my grandma. Secondly, my grandpa meant that as a gift for Ashton’s wife, meaning you. She is a fake and that means she misled my grandpa. I cannot forgive her for that.”
