Chapter 400

On the opposite end, at Sapphire Valley Estates.

Yuna, with a heavy heart, took Hayes and Manley back to the mansion. Her emotions had been on a roller coaster

ride today. She had almost blown her cover! But thankfully, Hammond was a smart man. As soon as she had

mentioned Maurice, he had agreed to play along.

“Marguerite, you wished to find your son? Dream on!” With this in mind, Yuna reached out and took Hayes’ hand.

She had no affection for Hayes, and in fact, she wished the worst curses upon him, but she discovered that this little

brat was easily swayed by a bit of kindness.

She decided to spare him some affection, who knows, he might prove useful later on.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuna took Hayes’ hand, Hayes immediately broke into a brilliant smile.

As the trio entered the house, Yuna was surprised to see Jocelyn entertaining her parents in the living room!

On seeing this, Manley, with his plump body, immediately ran over, shouting, “Grandma! Grandpa!”

Ablett, doting as ever, picked up Manley at once, even wobbling him a little. But ultimately, due to Manley’s weight,

Ablett nearly hurt his back.

Hayes watched everything in front of him with envy. He wanted to rush over, but knowing that his grandparents

didn’t seem to like him much, he could only politely wave at them.

While he was waving his hand, the bracelet that Teresa had given him was visible due to his sleeve riding up.

As soon as Zoe spotted the golden bracelet on Hayes’ wrist, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of familiarity.

Why does the bracelet look so familiar?

Yuna stepped forward and asked, “Mom, Dad, what brings you here?”

Zoe retracted her gaze, giving Jocelyn a meaningful glance, “We need to talk to you.”

Jocelyn immediately got the hint, set down the teapot, and conveniently got up, “You guys go ahead, I’ll water the

plants in the backyard.*

To be honest, Jocelyn didn’t really enjoy interacting with the Lockwoods.

She always found them to be difficult, and when she learned that they had let Marguerite wear a mask for such a

long time just for Yuna’s sake, she lost all respect for them.

Seeing Yuna living a glamorous life now, Jocelyn felt even more sympathetic towards Marguerite.

And Zoe didn’t like Jocelyn either. As soon as Jocelyn left the room, Zoe couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her.

Feeling sour, she thought to herself, Jocelyn is nothing more than a homewrecker in the Winston family, what’s with

the high and mighty attitude?

If Powell abandoned her back then, she probably wouldn’t be living as well as she was now!

“Mom, Dad, what did you want to talk to me about?” Yuna glanced at Jocelyn’s retreating figure in the backyard and

asked in a low voice.

Not wanting to discuss it openly in front of the kids, Zoe had to beat around the bush, “How’s the bone age test

going?”

Yuna hesitated, then looked at Hayes, noticing that he wasn’t paying attention to their conversation, she subtly

nodded at Zoe and gave her a meaningful look, “Don’t worry, it’s been taken care of.”

Upon hearing this, the Lockwoods were finally relieved.

They then sat back on the couch, looking as relaxed as if they were in their own home.

Suddenly, Zoe noticed Hayes’ bracelet again, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

She immediately called Hayes over, “Hayes, come here!”

Hayes was surprised but cautiously approached, his small face filled with confusion as he looked at Zoe

Looking at the pitiful little boy in front of her, Zoe felt not a bit of sympathy, instead, she became even more

commanding, “Take off the bracelet on your hand and let me have a look!”

Hayes’ eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he obediently twisted the bracelet off and handed it to Zoe.

Zoe examined the bracelet from all sides, finally holding it up to the sunlight to examine the intricate patterns.

Suddenly, her face paled! Wasn’t this the bracelet that she had put on Marguerite’s ankle when they had first

brought her home years ago?

How on earth did it end up on Hayes’ wrist?
