Chapter 109


    The dining hall fell silent at Olivia’s words. Maisy’s expression changed. “Why?”


    Olivia had been contemting this moment for a while. With a trembling voice, she spoke up, “I’ve


    been thinking about this for some time. I can’t ept the bracelet, but I appreciate your kindness.”


    Maisy seemed displeased but ignored Olivia’s words.


    Ana, surprised by Olivia’s refusal, questioned, “You don’t like the bracelet Grandma gave you?”


    “It’s not that,” Olivia rified, her voice uneasy. “It’s just too expensive, Aunt Ana. I can’t ept it.”


    Ana wasn’t going to let her get a gift? Maisy wanted you to have


    away: “Do you think we’d take back it. Are you rejecting her gesture?”


    Ana’s tone was confrontational, leaving Olivia speechless.


    Maisy interjected, her voice filled with disappointment, “At my age, I cherish each day. I didn’t expect


    you wouldn’t appreciate my gift.”


    Olivia’s hand trembled as she held the bracelet, feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed.


    Grandma, I really can’t…” she began, but Maisy cut her off, visibly annoyed.


    Recognizing Olivia’s difort, Tyler stepped in, “Since it’s a gift from Grandma, you should just keep


    it.”


    Olivia bowed her head. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, with Maisy looking more and more


    annoyed.


    Watching Olivia, Tyler noticed her slowly withdrawing her hand.


    Maisy’s expression softened into a smile and said, “It’s just a small token. Don’t dwell on it too much.


    Ana added, “Wear it and don’t take it off. Grandma would be upset if you did, okay?” With that, she


    directed the maid to clear the table, effectively ending the discussion.


    Clutching the bracelet, Olivia nced at Tyler, who looked away.


    After breakfast, the atmosphere remained strained, so Tyler and Olivia left promptly.


    On their way out, Tyler reassured her, “The bracelet doesn’t matter. Just keep it.” He didn’t want her


    to fret over it.


    Sitting quietly, Olivia murmured, “I’ll give it to my sister.” She felt the bracelet was a ticking time bomb.


    “Your sister hasn’t been welltely,” Tyler responded after a pause. “Since it’s meant for you, hold onto


    it for now. It’s just a simple bracelet.”


    Uncertain, Olivia pondered his words, realizing she might have made a mistake. After a moment of
