Chapter 874
Thalassa glanced at Sophia intrigued glance upon hearing her statement.
She had witnessed Sophia’s talent for identifying valuable artifacts first hand, so she knew Sophia wouldn’t be
wrong.
Meaning, the bracelet Amelia held was indeed real, even though Amelia claimed it was a fake.
Amelia had owned that bracelet for so many years, so of course she should know if it was a genuine artifact or not.
There was only one possibility left – she was deliberately calling it a fake.
What good would that do her?
“You’re just a four-year-old, what would you know? If I say this bracelet is fake, then it’s fake! I’ve been wearing it
for over twenty years. Would I mistake it?” Amelia’s eyes flickered with panic at Sophia’s words, but she quickly

She had to insist the bracelet was a fake – that was the only way she could cancel the surveillance order from
Lysander and Zephyr.
It wouldn’t be worth making such a fuss over a fake bracelet.
After finishing her words, Amelia quickly glanced at Charlotte, her eyes flashing a desperate signal.
Charlotte, who had been stunned, suddenly understood Amelia’s intentions, and gasped in surprise, “Oh my, now I
remember. I was indeed wearing a common bracelet.”
Her unexpected exclamation successfully drew everyone’s attention.
Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Charlotte continued, “When Amelia gave me the Sinclair family heirloom bracelet, I
loved it so much. It was so precious to me that I didn’t dare to wear it and risk damaging it. So, I left it at home and
wore a similar-looking common bracelet instead, to show off that I had received a gift that represented the Sinclair
family’s legacy. I wanted to show off without risking losing the bracelet. I didn’t expect this big misunderstanding.
Amelia, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I was just too excited about receiving the Sinclair family heirloom bracelet. I
showed it off to all my friends and completely forgot that I was actually wearing a fake. I apologize to you all for this
misunderstanding.”
Saying this, Charlotte dropped her gaze, her mouth twitching in a gesture of regret and embarrassment.
“You silly girl, when I received the bracelet, I never showed off to anyone!” Amelia chastised Charlotte sternly.
After her harsh words, she turned to Lysander and Zephyr with a smile. “You see, it was just a misunderstanding.
The bracelet is a fake, not the Sinclair family heirloom. I think we should just let this matter go. It’s not worth
wasting everyone’s time over at common bracelet. After the banquet, I’ll have a serious talk with Charlotte.”
This was Amelia’s real plan.
By claiming the bracelet was fake, she hoped to downplay the issue and sweep it under the rug.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPayton, who knew Amelia best, quickly agreed, “Grandpa, let’s let it go. Let’s officially start the charity dinner.”
“It’s so strange. This bracelet is clearly a genuine artifact, but why are these two ladies insisting it’s fake?” Sophia
tapped her temple with her index finger, tilting her little head and furrowing her brows in confusion.
Her appraisal skills wouldn’t be wrong. This pendant on the bracelet was a genuine antique whether in color, style,
or design.
Just when Amelia thought she had successfully dismissed the matter, the little girl continued to claim it was real.
A flicker of panic crossed Amelia’s heart, and she sternly glanced at Sophia. “Sophia, children shouldn’t speak
without thinking.” “I’m not speaking without thinking. This bracelet is smooth and shiny, with naturally occurring
patterns that resemble a small stream flowing through the mountains. It’s clearly been worn for hundreds of years,
which has given it this translucent glow.”
Sophia’s innocent eyes were fixed on the bracelet in Amelia’s hand. Her professional terminology for appraising the
bracelet flowed smoothly and effortlessly.
