Chapter 109
The dining hall fell silent at Olivia’s words. Maisy’s expression changed. “Why?”
Olivia had been contemplating this moment for a while. With a trembling voice, she spoke up, “I’ve
been thinking about this for some time. I can’t accept 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 clarified, her voice uneasy. “It’s just too expensive, Aunt Ana. I can’t accept it.”

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

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

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

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

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 well lately,” Tyler responded after a pause. “Since it’s meant for you, hold onto
