Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 147

“Auntie Beryl, I…”

Esme’s mind was thrown into chaos. She couldn’t accept what Beryl had said so suddenly.

“Also… The family heirloom… The bracelet that I gave you before. Give it back to me.” Beryl forced herself to say it. She hated Fia for forcing her to do this, but if she didn’t do as she was told, Fia would tell her son about what she had said.

She wanted to live an affluent life as part of the Maxwell household. She couldn’t allow her plan to fall into ruins.

“What?!” Conrad said with a dark expression on his face. “You gave the bracelet to Esme? Grandpa told you to give Fia. Why didn’t you do as he asked?!”

“Well… I thought you and Esme would be able to get married, so I gave it to Esme first. Afterward, I couldn’t get it back.” Beryl looked at Conrad woefully, hoping that her son would pity her.

However, Fia burst out in laughter.

“Stop joking. You gave that bracelet to my cousin not too long ago.”

Beryl had just glanced up at Fia and wanted to argue with her when Fia said, “Age must be getting to you that you’re being so forgetful. There’s a witness when you gave her the bracelet.”

“Who is it?” Beryl asked.

Esme’s expression turned even paler. She knew who it was.

Victor’s mother.

Before she left, she even said something to Beryl with an upset tone.

“Victor’s mother. Oh, his fiancée was there too,” Fia said with a smile. Eileen was the one that told her all

of that.

Conrad then said, “Is what she said true, mom?”

“Looks… Looks like I’m really misremembering things. She’s right,” Beryl said as a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back. “I… I thought that she’s going to divorce you and that Esme’s going to become your fiancée, so I gave her the bracelet.”

“Mom, when Grandpa asked you for the bracelet, why didn’t you give it to Fia? You even lied to him and said that you had shattered it!”

Conrad spoke angrily.

“Don’t blame her, Conrad. She was simply hoping that you’d be happy.” Esme sniveled tragically with tears filling up her eyes.

“Are you saying that he wouldn’t be happy marrying me?” Fia looked at Esme with cold eyes. “Did I abuse him?”

Esme frowned and said, “Cousin, since when have you become so mean–spirited?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Me? Mean–spirited? Do I look like that, mom?” Fia turned and looked at Beryl.

Beryl finally realized how terrifying Fia could be. She must have secretly gathered a lot of evidence against her.

She was worried that if this took long, Fia would drag her through the mud.

She immediately said to Esme, “Just give it back to me. Conrad’s grandma gave it to me a long time ago. It’s supposed to be passed down to my daughter–in–law.”

“How can you take back something you’ve already given to me?” Esme was almost in tears as she looked at Conrad. “Conrad, maybe you can buy a new one for Fia?”

“Ha!” Fia laughed out in anger. She used to be so prideful. And now? She was so despicable and

shameless.

“Mom, you lied to Grandpa. He may have passed away and isn’t able to deal with you anymore, but I want to remind you that the bracelet has been passed down within the family for generations. It’s extremely rare and not something that can be replaced by any bracelet! And she wants Conrad to buy some random bracelet to replace it? Ridiculous!”

“Enough, Fia!” Esme was so angry that she wanted to hit her. Since when did she have such a sharp tongue?!

“Don’t tell me you want to be a robber now? I can always sue as the daughter–in–law!” Fia said in a stern

voice.

Conrad massaged his temple and extended his hand toward Esme. “Return the bracelet.”

Esme shook her head. “Conrad, can you please not treat me so heartlessly? I lost the chance of becoming your wife three years ago. Can’t you let me keep a bracelet as a token?”

“Give it back!” Conrad said in an irritated tone. “If you want a bracelet, I can get Silas to buy you a few new ones. But you have to return the bracelet!‘

Esme gritted her teeth. She never thought that Conrad could be so brutal toward her.
