    Chapter 17

    that bracelet is immeasurable. What if the Howard family mes us? How can we afford it?”


    In just a few sentences, the responsibility for the shattered bracelet had been squarely ced on


    Natalie’s shoulders.


    Natalie frowned in annoyance.


    “You have such a spiteful heart!” Lydia stormed up to Natalie, pointing usingly. “Because you


    couldn’t have Brian, you want to drag our whole family down? You’re just like your mother! A


    seductress, a homewrecker!”


    As Lydia’s usations flew, Natalie’s expression grew colder. That woman, her mother, was indeed no


    saint, caring only for her pleasure, even at the cost of abandoning her daughter. Natalie couldn’t deny


    that.


    She was silent for a few seconds before looking directly at Samuel and saying softly, “I told you I didn’t


    break it.”


    “I just came up five minutes ago and finished a phone call. Maybe the bracelet was already broken.”


    “It was intactst night! I cleaned it before going to bed!” Gracia interjected hastily.


    Natalie turned her gaze to Gracia, silent for a moment.
