    Nancy’s face twisted in disappointment as she held the cold bracelet.


    The bracelet which she believed to be valuable turned out to be worthless.


    Millie’s heart was still racing as she returned to her room, her thoughts a whirlwind. She sat down quickly, a hand over her chest,

    About thirty minutester, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Millie got up to answer it.

    The woman next to Mylo looked at Millie with envy in her eyes.


    Someone grumbled, “Mr. Thomas, you treat your wife so well. My wife keeps telling me she envies Mrs. Thomas and calls me


    useless.”


    “Yes, my wife calls me useless too and asks when I''ll spend such arge sum on her,” another added.


    Millie felt their eyes on the hairpin, and she blushed, wanting to take it off.


    Marcus leaned in to threaten, “How dare you remove it?”
