Chapter 15 The Bracelet Acknowledges Its Owner

George was composed. He calmly followed from behind and went into the house.

William was taken aback. He was dumbstruck as he witnessed the scene unfold before him and asked, “Grandpa also knows my comrades?”

Upon hearing this, Danny stumbled and didn’t know what to say.

He was genuinely worried that William might go up there and invite trouble. Therefore, he spoke solemnly. “Ms. Burnett is your brother’s fiancée. It would be wise to be more discreet with your words going forward”

What he truly meant was, “You should be more cautious and thoughtful in your actions from now on!”

Boom!

William felt as though lightning had struck him.

Did my comrades just abandon me?

The battle hasn’t even begun, but it’s already over.

up the Milly also felt uneasy. She had initially thought that Andrew would invite her to the house to clear misunderstanding. She could leave afterward. However, she had finished dinner, but Andrew still hadn’t mentioned it.

Meanwhile, George seemed oblivious to the situation. He was casually reading the newspaper as if nothing had happened.

Only William….

She had no idea what she had done to offend him. Since they arrived at the house, that guy had been. glaring at her with a fierce and distrustful gaze as if she were a traitor.

Realizing it was getting late, and her family might start to worry if she didn’t return soon.

Milly couldn’t hold back and finally spoke up, “Andrew, you invite me here to discuss about the

engagement,”

Hearing this, Andrew appeared to have just remembered it and tapped his cane along with it.

“Oh, my memory fails me. I knew I had forgotten something important.”

Milly smiled obediently and waited for him to continue.

“Go, fetch me the box your grandma left, Andrew motioned to George, who was sitting on the sofa next to

him.

George complied. He then returned with a delicate wood box in hand.

Andrew took the box, opened it, and revealed a bracelet embellished with scattered diamonds and intricate patterns. The jewelry exuded an understated and enigmatic charm.

Next, it was unclear whether George’s action was swift or if the braclet was too smooth. Before she could comprehend, the bracelet had slipped onto her wrist

Her fair skin contrasted elegantly with the silver–brown accessory, making her look more dignified.

“Andrew, what are you doing?” Milly asked, perplexed.

Andrew was taken aback. He was surprised that the bracelet would slip onto Milly’s wrist as if it had a life of its own.

“Haha! This is fate! It’s fate!”

Andrew chuckled heartily. He stood up unsteadily with his cane, fixed an earnest gaze on Milly, and said, “Girly, this is what my late wife intended.”

Milly felt the bracelet on her wrist sway slightly. When she glanced down, it remained there, almost as if it were her own imagination.

When she looked up again, Andrew had walked away with the aid of his cane.

“Andrew, hold one. I cannot accept this. Milly stood up. She anxiously tried to remove the bracelet from

her wrist.

However, the bracelet seemed to have constricted. It resisted all her efforts to twist and pull it off.

This is odd. It’s effortless to put on just moments ago.

Milly’s wrist turned red from the exertion, but she seemed oblivious to the discomfort and persisted in her attempts.

Distressed, George grasped her right hand firmly to prevent her from causing harm to herself. He said, “That’s enough.

“My grandma left this bracelet behind. She told me that this bracelet is spiritual, and it will recognize its owner. It is said to be made of infernal lead, and it’s indestructible. Once it recognizes its owner, it will never let go. My grandma could only take it off after she passed away.”

Milly

raised her eyes coldly and looked at him. She avoided his touch and confronted, “So, Mr. Tate, what are you trying to say?”

Her gaze was cold and distant, and George struggled to come up with words.

Her gaze was piercing, as if she could see through the hidden turmoil in his heart.

“Mr. Tate, I have made it clear from the beginning that the engagement is a joke from the older generation. It doesn’t count. Besides, my grandpa is still abroad, and we can’t even verify the truth of this joke. I think we can stop here. You should go your way; I’ll go pine. We have nothing to do with each other.

“As for this bracelet, I will find a way to take it off and return it to you.

“You don’t have to see me off; goodbye. Oh, I hope we never see each other again.”

After Milly finished that, she left resolutely. Her back strongly projected a sense of rejection.

George stood in place. He sighed and rubbed his slightly sore eyebrows.

It seemed like he was too aggressive just now. The little hedgehog was more stubborn than he had imagined. She clearly only responded to kindness; he used the wrong approach, which only pushed her further away.

He needed to find another way to approach the little hedgehog.

“Danny, safely escort her home. Thinking of the way she looked at him just now, he sighed and changed his mind. George interrupted, “Forget it; don’t disturb her; just make sure she gets home safely from a distance.

Danny nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Tate.”

At this moment, William was sitting in the corner. He looked at Milly, who slowly walked away with an admiring gaze.

Impressive!

This was the first time he had seen someone have the nerve to speak to George in such a manner. Most importantly, after she said her piece, George didn’t get angry, but he seemed to reflect on himself.

Oh my goodness, when will I ever learn such high–end skills myself?

With a cold face, Milly walked out of the villa and hailed a taxi at the door.

She looked at the bracelet on her wrist. It was a simple bracelet with intricate patterns on it. Other than that, there was nothing particularly unique about it.

She tugged at it with force, but it wouldn’t come off.

Thinking of what George had just said, Milly sneered. Made of infernal lead? Haha! It’s amazing that he could come up with this. Did he really think of me as a three–year–old child?

She couldn’t quite understand it now. The Tates were much higher in status than her family; they had not need to get close to her for any reason, and there was no benefit or advantage for them in doing so.

Andrew liked me. It’s probably because I saved his life, but why is George trying to get close to me? It couldn’t just be for that joke–like engagement, could it?
