At the door, Josiah weed the two pairs–Aiden and Ines, and Clifford and Zendaya–one after
another. Then, he saw Rnd arriving alone.
The crowd couldn’t help feeling curious.
“Aren’t you two getting married soon? Why isn’t she here? Is she afraid of hanging out with us?”
Ines asked with curiosity.
Rnd answered, “She’s frail and often feels unwell since she’s pregnant, so I’d avoid having her
move around unless it’s necessary.
Aiden jokingly said. “Well, all that matters is that she doesn’t stand you up at the wedding.
Hahaha.”
Everyone startedughing, but at the same time, they noticed that Josiah wasn’t in a good mood.
Just as they were about to ask something, Deborah and Damien arrived together in the same car.
Even though they were technically a family–to–be, it was rare to see them banded together.
“Wow, what brings you two here together today?” Clifford teased. “Where’s your cousin?”
Damien replied, “The entertainmentpany project has started, so he doesn’t have time to
apany Deborah. I happened to be at my aunt’s house, so I came along.”
Deborah shrugged her shoulders. Upon seeing Rnd, she said, “Oh right, the wedding ring you
asked me to make previously is ready. You can pick it up from my shopter.”
Rnd nodded with a smile.
“Wow, so does that mean, Alexander is the only one among all of us who hasn’tmissioned
Deborah for a piece of jewelry for his partner?” Ines chuckled. She had sought Deborah, the
genius jewelry designer, to make her couple rings, handcrafted using care materials and truly one
of a kind.
“Hey, he’s not the only one,” stated the still–single Damien.
Aidenughed, asking, “Do you even n on falling in love in this lifetime?”
Damien was momentarily rendered speechless.
Deborah, however, suddenly spoke up. “Damien should be the only one left because Alexander
commissioned me to make an engagement ring not long ago.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and immediately pressed for more information.
Deborah wasn’t one for gossip, so she couldn’t quite give a good exnation and only critiqued
Alexander’s demands.
“One that has investment value, made using the most expensive materials, and has to be the most
valuable.”
A twitch tugged at the corners of Rnd’s mouth. He had just customized a ring, after all. He had
many ideas for the ring’s design concept, but cost was never a consideration for him.

“I’ve told him the same thing” Deborah, who was extremely passionate about jewelry design, was
left speechless at such a nouveau riche demand. “But he insisted that Isabe likes it this way.”
Although everyone expressed considerable doubt, they didn’t dwell too much on the issue. After all,
the news of the engagement ring itself was already too much for them to digest.
This once again proved that Alexander’s feelings for Isabe were real. Otherwise, considering the
kind of person he was and their rtionship back then, he would’ve simply purchased a ring from a
jewelry store rather than going out of his way to have Deborah design one.
After all, the idea ofmissioning Deborah to design jewelry for their significant other was merely
a joke made in jest during a casual drinking session with friends back in university.
The fact that Alexander had chosen to abide by this agreement was truly an amusing thought.
“That’s great, with Rnd and Alexander, we’ll make three pairs in our group. We’re safe,” Ines said
with a
smile.
“Huh?” Rnd didn’t catch Qn.
Aiden chuckled. “Didn’t Clifford and Josiah bothmission jewelry from Deborah before? They
ended. up breaking up, so my honey is worried.”
Deborah looked at Ines speechlessly.
Ines stuck out her tongue, which immediately drew a re from Clifford. He certainly didn’t want
anyone bringing up matters about his ex–girlfriend.
At the side, Zendaya pretended not to hear anything, as she was reminded how Clifford would
sometimes make her wear a specific pair of earrings when he had her impersonate his first crush to
go on a date. She figured that must be the reason why he did that.
As for Josiah, who had been in low spirits all along, suddenly froze, and as if recalling something,
he appeared a little uneasy.
He had also once approached Deborah to customize a ne, intended as a gift for Audrey. As
long as she wore it, it would essentially be a public deration of their secret rtionship
among their circle of friends.
Sadly, before the ne was crafted, she became his sister–inw,
By the time he received the ne, he was so furious he intended to destroy it. However, it just
so happened to coincide with Audrey’s birthday. Naturally, he didn’t n to get her a birthday gift,
and neither did he want to see her.
Despite so, he had no choice. His family was upset with him for ignoring his sister–inw, so he
gave Audrey the ne as a birthday gift partly out of spite. He wanted Audrey to know what she
had missed out on in pursuit of money. He thought that mocking her and putting her in torment
would bring him satisfaction.
However, he was so affected by this incident that particr day that he overlooked something….
Jerk, total jerk! Even I wouldn’t believe it if he imed he likes Dakota. If he really likes her, why
would he treat her su

Meanwhile, Isabe, who was secretly enjoying the gossip upstairs, was so mad she was cursing
inwardly
Downstairs, the Quirks were all somewhat shocked upon hearing Isabe’s outburst. They thought it
was a known fact that Josiah was pretending to be poor so that he could depend on his girlfriend
and wondered if there was something more outrageous that happened.
The bracelet Dakota cherishes in much is actually made from the leftover materials of a gift for
Audrey, so it isn’t even worth a fraction of the original ne. They were dating of that time!
Though they just got together, dating means they have feelings for each other, right? You’re chrzy
for doing to many things to test her out, but what do you mean by Kiving her a bracelett
Alexander felt a little guilty. When he first saw it, he found it odd that a makeup artist would have a
bracelet of the same material. Even though it was aplimentary gift, it was still a custom–made
one.
Upon hearing that Dakota was Josiah’s girlfriend, he should have made some connections.
However, with so much happening at that moment, he overlooked it.
Only now did ite to mind.
Do you think you have an ercase for forgetting that it was your girlfriend’s birthday the next day just
because you were in a bad mood that day? You didn’t prepare any gifts but recalled you left the
bracelet that came together with the ne in the car, so you used that as a birthday gift to brush
Dakota off Doesn’t your conscience bother you at all?
Alexander was quite speechless, feeling that it might have been better not to give the gift at all.
He simply couldn’tprehend Josiah’s way of thinking, wondering if thetter knew his actions
were belittling and insulting to Dakota.
No, I got it wrong. You don’t even have a conscience. You didn’t even feel guilty for giving Dakota
that gift. Instead, you think it was out of her league to receive a gift of that value. You lied to her
that the bracelet was only a thousand bucks because you feared that she would covet vanity and
doubt your identity. In your eyes, she only deserves to wear jewelry that worth a thousand bucks.
I’m afraid you’re oblivious, but if she didn’t have to support an ingrate like you, she could have
easily bought herself many of such jewelry to please herself!
Alexander sighed silently. He, too, started to doubt Josiah’s so–called affection.
What’s even more infuriating is that you even made Dakota pity you, thinking that you forced
yourself to fork out a thousand bucks to buy her the bracelet when you’re broke. She was under the
impression that you secretly took on temporary jobs to save up for it. Not only did she treat you
even better because of it, but she also cherished that bracelet like a prized possession. You’re a
f*cking bestard! Why did lightning not strike you? How on earth did a man like you end up with a
girlfriend like Dakota? What heinous crimes did Dakotamit in her past life to deserve this?
Every time Isabe thought of how Dakota treasured that bracelet, she would be so frustrated that
her head buzzed.
You were so generous when you were dating Audrey, but when you’re with Dakota, you’re so
stingy. You must think she’s not good enough for you, huh? Why don’t you fight for Audrey, then?
She’s been dropping so many hints to Dakota, desperately trying to unt your love for her. How
can you let her down? You two shameless beings are truly a match made in heaven!
Genuinely worried that Isabe might be too agitated. Alexander lifted his hand and gently patted
her head to soothe her. He couldn’t help but inwardlyment Josiah and Audrey for their

It took quite a while before Isabe could bring herself to look at the screen again. She felt a pang
of sympathy. After all, Dakota was not only dealing with the shock of the bracelet matter but also
grappling with the truth about Josiah and Audrey
Dakota could barely stand, stumbling backward repeatedly as she stared at Audrey in utter
disbelief.
