Zoe nudged Ablett immediately, staring him down before giving a knowing look towards the bracelet.

Following Zoe’s gaze, Ablett’s eyes widened in shock upon seeing the bracelet.

“Where did you get this bracelet, Hayes?” He asked.

Hayes, sitting perfectly straight next to Zoe, took a while before he uttered, ‘Te… Teresa…gave it to me.”

Ablett looked stunned.

Teresa? Who was Teresa?

Meanwhile, Zoe held onto Hayes’ bracelet without letting go.

She remembered when they sold the bracelet years ago, it fetched a staggering half million dollars. Now that the

money was all gone, she wanted to get the bracelet back.

So she held it dearly, examining it over and over again..

She glanced at Ablett and sighed, “This bracelet could fetch a handsome sum…”

Ablett shook his head in exasperation, whispered, “Can’t you focus on what’s important? Is now the time to think

about money?”

Zoe looked downcast. Of course, she understood Ablett’s point, but this bracelet had been sold so many times

before. Now, it seemed to have been sold to this Teresa, who then gifted it to Hayes. And somehow, it had found its

way back into her hands.

She wouldn’t let this chance to make some money slip away.

Yuna, standing nearby, quickly grasped her mother’s intentions and bluntly said, “The bracelet is a fake, an exact

replica.”

Zoe looked startled, “Fake?”

A fake wasn’t worth anything! All her excitement was for nothing!

Disgusted, Zoe threw the bracelet onto the floor, which made Hayes frown. He picked up the bracelet gently,

checking it to make sure it wasn’t damaged, before putting it back on his tiny

wrist.

It was a birthday gift from Teresa, his most cherished possession!

The real bracelet is with Freddie’s friend I heard his sister got kidnapped, and they’re using the bracelet to find

her!”

Zoe and Ablett exchanged a glance, their calm shattered as their hearts sank, once again feeling uneasy.

Zoe stuttered, “His friend… is his surname Fitzgerald?”

Yuna looked surprised, “Yes! How did you know?”

She remembered that her parents had only met Robert Fitzgerald once, at the funeral of Laverne. They had no

other connections! How did they know his surname?

Zoe was completely dumbfounded! She couldn’t believe her own ears!

How could she expect that Marguerite’s biological brother would be friends with Frederick! But since it was a secret

from over twenty years ago, Marguerite couldn’t possibly know her true origins. It was impossible!

Yet Zoe still cautiously asked, “Who is Teresa? Why would she give the bracelet to Hayes?”

Thinking of Teresa, Yuna sneered, her eyes full of contempt, “She’s Marguerite’s daughter! She fancied the real

bracelet at the auction. Robert, Freddie’s friend, made a replica for her out of goodwill.”

Ablett and Zoe were both stunned, as if struck by lightning.

They were gripped by a powerful fear.

What were the odds?

Marguerite’s daughter had taken a liking to the bracelet Marguerite had worn? It was a wicked fate indeed!

Yuna noticed the changing expressions on her parents’ faces, their growing unease. She felt a sense of unease

herself and demanded, “Mom, Dad, are you hiding something from me?”
