Chapter 12: Heirloom Jade Bracelet
The Noel-Baker family''s dinner is grander than breakfast. Mrs. Sara held her daughter-inw''s hand
and kept saying that she wanted to go to the Imperial Mountain to redeem a vow in the afternoon.
Master Edward was on the side as an audience, while Aurora Noel-Bakerined that her brother
was not active in eating, and usually people asked him out for three or four times, he would agree to
A rush of footstepsing from far to near, Alicia turned around and saw Carlosing to the table
with a long face. Apparently he had taken a bath, still sending out a faint mint fragrance.
"Let''s eat."
Mrs. Sara patted her daughter-inw on the back of her hand and ordered the maid next to her, "Bring
the soup to Mrs. Alicia."
The maid put a bowl of soup in front of Alicia, and Alicia was ttered by Sara, saying thank you.
"Enjoy it by yourself. You worked hard all day."
"Ah," Carlos snorted coldly, "How hard? Just lip service."
Master Edward raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you know her hard? Do you think it is easy to
be a teacher?"
"Definitely hard. Alicia is teaching a group of children in a rebellious period. It is really hard."
Carlos nced at Aurora with his sharp eyes, and Aurora shut her mouth obediently.
"Ignore him. He is envious of the preferential treatment you have. He doesn''t have it." Mrs. Sara stared
at her son.
"Mom, we are going back to my own mother''s house this weekend."
Alicia looked her mother-inw, solemnly said.
"You... together?"
Sara asked uncertainly, and her eyes were full of surprise.
"Yes."
"Oh my god, is it true? Carlos, will you really apany Alicia back to her family?"
Aurora was so excited that she forgot the warning eyes just now.
Carlos didn''t speak, but the family members recognized that his silence meant tacit approval. Suddenly,
the family broke out in a riot ofughter, although Carlos had a dirty look.
He felt very ufortable. Carlos thought he fell into Alicia''s hands. His heart sank.
After dinner, Master Edward called his son into the study. When her brother left, Aurora grabbed her

mother''s arm and said, "Mom, Alicia is so great..."
"What''s the matter?" Mrs. Sara confusedly asked.
"In the afternoon, I was speaking ill of my brother with her, and my brother caught us red-handed. You
know my brother''s temper, right? I was scared and ran away, thinking that Alicia would end up badly,
but the result was..."
"The result was Alicia was unscathed and persuaded your brother to apany her back to her family,
right?"
"Yes..."
Aurora felt incredible. Like a dream, it was so unreal.
"So I can''t wait to redeem my vow today. I have a hunch that this time your brother''s marriage will
definitely not be as short-lived as it used to be."
Mrs. Sara smiled and told her daughter, "Go and call your sister-inw toe here."
Alicia went upstairs after dinner, and she had to review her lessons in the evening, so she didn''t have
much time to chat with her family.
Almost at the same time, she came downstairs and met Carlos going out of the study.
From his meaningful nce, she knew he wanted to kill her, but whatever.
"Mom, what''s the matter?"
She went straight to Sara and asked respectfully.
"Sit down."
Mrs. Sara made her sit down, then took off a crystal jade bracelet from her right wrist and handed it to
Alicia, "This is our family''s heirloom, and it was also given by my mother-inw. Now I give it to you."
After she said that, the others were stupefied on the spot.
Carlos was the most shocked. He asked his mother unhappily, "How can you give it to others after
grandmother gave it to you?"
"Alicia is not someone else. She is my daughter-inw and your wife."
"I have more than one wife. How many jade bracelets do you have?"
"Although she is not the first one, I am confident that she is thest one."
Oh, Carlos was going crazy. This woman''s confidence was transmitted to his family. Since he couldn''t
persuade his mother, he had to change his objective. He stared at Alicia. The meaning of his eyes was
clear. If Alicia epted it, she should pay for it.
